Organized religion can get fucked along with all these deathmongers using “god” as an excuse to kill or harm others.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"We all will have to provide answers to what happened on Oct. 7, myself included — but only after the war," said Netanyahu.
So he wants more time for war crimes before anyone charges him with war crimes. And he's referencing biblical prophecy and all but calling it a holy war. The man has lost his mind clearly.
He knows he's in the shit. But he's thinking maybe he can quickly arrange cover with the ultra religious, and the longer he stays in office, the more time he has to arrange cover or change the narrative.
The people of Israel and his supporters are on the hook as well.
Never again means never again, for any people.

I don't understand responses like this.
Them are holy grounds on which israel and palestine stand, for all 3 abrahamic religions. Every one of them has a prophecy for the end of times which great powers that be will try and manifest into reality.
As long as religions exist, and as long as they have followers this orthodox in their "interpretation", that area will remain in turmoil.
How this basic and all encompassing fact is not front and center in every discussion on this situation boggles my mind.

Defeating Hamas?
A war against Hamas that targets civilians is just going to create more Hamas.
You kill 100 civilians for every 4 Hamas fighters, all you end up with is 10 new Hamas fighters from the relatives of the civilian dead.
He's delusional.
Thats why I honestly believe that he just wants to genozide all Palestinians and grab the remaining land. Thats the only possible end to this conflict if Israel stays on this path. And it was on this path since 70 years, so why stop now? The colonization of North America had a similiar pattern. Settle deeper and deeper in the territory of the other group and if they attack you, strike back ten times harder. Repeat until they have no suitable land left. It's making me sick that we have to watch this shit in our times and that our politicians allow it or even support it.
Thats why I honestly believe that he just wants to genozide all Palestinians and grab the remaining land.
Anyone who doesn't think this is delusion. The Israeli government never wanted peace

Delusional. I feel like he doesn’t necessarily care about his own people either, just want to commit genocide and take over land at any cost.
The fact that people still defend this guy makes me perplexed.
He knows that he'll lose power once that war ends. He will prolong it as long as he can. Of course he doesn't care about the lifes of his own people, never did.
Right-wingers never give a shit about their own people.
You can't defeat hamas militarily. They are a terrorist group, they want to be attacked as viciously as possible, because that creates more recruits for them.
Its been proven time and time again and yet every single time these old fucking cranks do not understand that.
Hey, as long as it distracts Israel from his judicial problems and his role in allowing Hamas to rise, it's all good for him.
It is fascinating to me that no one is asking what outcome Hamas was looking for after these attacks. Is no one concerned that Israel is doing EXACTLY what Hamas must have expected them to do? They almost certainly had a plan and doing exactly what the other side expects means your going along with that plan. Hamas had to have known this is what would happen, so this happening is giving them what they wanted: An Israel that is rapidly losing its international mandate while committing atrocities against civilians on center stage in front of the whole world.

Removing Netanyahoo will make the prophecy of a better society a reality
He literally sounds like all those terrorist religious zealots that I was told were such a threat for bringing sharia law to ‘the homeland’ after 9/11. How long will rational thinkers have to suffer under the weight of ignorant frauds like Netanyahu and their magic fan fictions. What a absolute sick joke of an ideology.
Great, the fucking crusades are back.
This is the kind of deadly nonsense that happens when you have a religious state. US Christian nationalists should take note, though they support Netanyahu for the sole reason that it reinforces their biblical doomsday prophecies of their own.
US Christian nationalists should take note
They are well aware.
And it's an outcome they want.
That's how they get Buddy Jesus to come back and punish all the sinners for their pleasure.
Or something like that.
very dangerous that these kind of totally insane shitheads want access to nukes (plus their counterpart iran)
This is the kind of deadly nonsense that happens when you have a religious state.
Israel is not a religious state - it's a white supremacist settler-colonialist project.
I prefer the terms ethno-supremacist & crypto-fascist.
It is also worth noting that Likud was founded by members of Lehi which was a Nationalist Zionist terrorist organization. To say that the current political right in Israel took strategic influences directly from Nazi Germany is in no way hyperbolic as Lehi attempted to align with the Third Reich beginning in the inter-war era as well as during WWII.
I prefer the terms ethno-supremacist & crypto-fascist.
Call them that if you wish... I call them white supremacist because it cuts to the core of what "western civilization" has always really been about - which includes the support they give to their little kapo state in the middle-east.
Religious ethnostates are a threat to world peace.
Anyone who thinks god gave them some land is incapable of rational negotiation about said land.

Netanyahu use "Activate Evangelicals" on Republicans
Its super effective!
What's funny is that saying Isaiah's Prophecy will be fulfilled is completely opposite to Christianity, since Christians believe is already was fulfilled with the birth of Jesus.
Bruh you think they've actually read and understood the old testament?
Or the New Testament?
You’re lucky if they’ve looked at the pictures in the “picture book” versions for kids.
History always fondly remembers the guy who said "God needs us to kill all of those people".
Biden: "Yep, this is our guy. Full support. Now I'm going to go home and push through KOSA and make anything pro-gay online illegal. What are the democrats going to do? Vote against me? That only help Trump."
If Israel's god was real, would it have allowed the October 7 attacks to happen to his chosen people? Of course not.
Every single ethnic cleansing in history is rooted in lies and this one is no different.
This guy is no different from the criminals of Daesh.
Basically he means the coming of the Messiah which is funny because
Christians and Muslims believe the anti christ will show up pretending to be the Messiah and lead the Jews astray
Also
In a death that resembles that attributed to Isaiah in Lives of the Prophets, Muslim exegesis recounts that Isaiah was martyred by Israelites by being sawn in two
There's so much religious irony in this statement, I'm sure anyone could find more examples of comedy lol
From what I remember (a very long time ago!), Isaiah is basically We're unjustly oppressed and attacked and things look really bad, but just trust in God and your leaders and your diaspora will come home and everyone will come to your side and your enemies will be defeated and we'll end up rich and in charge.
No it won't
Glad to see grand delusions being used in critical decision making.
