Once more, Trump is at it again (not that he has stopped) with the far-right anti-Semitic rant on his social media site, this time about Jews and Israel. He always loves saying -- as he did here yet again -- how much evangelicals love Israel, even more than American Jews do (because if there's anything Trump knows about, I'm sure, it's what Jews anywhere think...). But what he always ignores explaining is why evangelicals love Israel so much: it's because, to evangelicals, Israel is where End Times will occur, and Jews who don't convert will die in flames.
So...yeah, I can see why evangelicals looooove Israel for that reason a whole lot more than Jews do. "I love Israel so that it can be destroyed in a burning conflagration" With friends like that... To be clear, this isn't just Trump. He spews his hate when he knows there's an audience in the GOP base. And, of course, it comes on the heels days earlier of Kanye West's anti-Semitic and violent comments about going "death con 3" on Jews -- to a notable lack of criticism from Republican officials. I wrote about this yesterday on social media, and I was surprised how many people "liked" it -- 150 (so far) with 40 retweets. What should not come as a shock is that I got a few responses trying to explain that, well, yes, Trump is right, we must all repent and Jews must do so first. (It should also not come as a shock that after as politely as I had it in me, I told these respondents off and then muted them, before blocking. Because, y'know, that whole "Life is too short" thing.) One of the things I did point out is that hard as it may be for evangelicals to accept, not everyone in the world is actually Christian -- nor is even half of the world. But I did at least thank them for proving my point that the reason the anti-Semitic Trump keeps mentioning evangelicals' looooove of Israel has absolutely nothing to do with loving Israel and supporting it, but is about waiting for its destruction. But then, most of these are the same people who were waiting for Trump to be reinstalled last year as president with the dead JFK Jr. as his vice-president. So, consider the source....
