You fit perfectly in the "Christ is King" thread from earlier

A lot of it has to do with social media too. Tons and tons of posts and reels that have hundreds of thousands of likes and comments are circulated everyday with misrepresented, dishonest, and outright incorrect information.

I looked into this modern iteration of the Khazar thing that I ignorantly posted about a couple of times in the past. I now agree with you, it's pretty much bull shite.


The most valuable thing about the emergence of the Khazarian theory online is that is basically outs Putin/Russia as the source and shows how much they influence online behavior with their sockpuppets creating memes adopted by NPCs.

It is actually possible to want to flush some of the more nefarious Israel influence domestically while still realizing they’re a very valuable ally and that joos don’t commit many terry attacks on our soil, Islam is the threat.

It’s very easy to hold both of these opinions. In fact I would urge it.

There isn't much to it:
1) nobody is ever allowed to say anything bad about jews/israel. This gets many people's attention
2) israel is the largest funding entity for DC politicians. Why?
3) We send ridiculous amounts of money to a first world nation called israel, why?

No disagreement here. Problem is that the vast majority won't take any time to fact check nor verify the legitimacy of the claims in the reels and posts they see. They simply just retweet/repost it and the beat goes on.

The left hates Israel because "Free Palestine". Ironically the overwhelming majority of Jews are democrats.

Republicans loves Israel because they been duped into thinking Eastern Europeans who moved to Israel 50 years ago are the same Jews found in the old testament from thousands of years ago. These Republicans who are mainly Evangelical Christians, think these guys are "God's chosen people" even though they reject Christ as Messiah and consider him a false prophet.

Make it make sense.

People openly talk extremely negatively about Israel all over the internet wherever you go everyday. What are you talking about?

I’m not simping for them. I just know you’re being disingenuous, AKA the npc I mentioned earlier

This is kind of where I'm at and I know many will jump on my arse immediately and call me a sheep/retard/etc. but I'm frankly just tired. I'm tired of everything being a conspiracy of some kind. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe we get pieces of stories and we don't get the full picture on things, no question about it. But I can't remember the last time something happened and there wasn't a firestorm of people, on both sides of whatever event occured, lining up to push a theory on how it's some kind of conspiracy and you're a moron/sheep/useful idiot if you don't buy their version of said conspiracy. It's just exhausting after awhile.

Antisemitism goes back thousands of years ago. So both "sides" have existed all these years. The Left claims that they are not anti Jews, their hate is directed at Israel. Which is B,S. Israel is a country of Jews. Their main claim is that "the Jews are running this country." Those on the Right claim that Israel is the U.S.'s biggest supporter in the Middle East, the only Democratic country in the M.E. Long story, short.

Your stance is basically the stance of most people who get called “anti” Israel. Idc what Israel does over there, and would prefer a more western government in the Middle East, I just don’t want to fit the bill. Let Israel pay us if they want to use our shite and leave us out of it militarily it’s not our problem. Idk why we couldn’t have just sold shite to Israel the way we did with Ukraine and let them deal with Iran.

The US has no need for their oil. This is like a 20 year old out of date argument.

Most of those are again, the NPC talking points I mentioned earlier. Many posters were kind to prove it so quickly.

Is it fair to say that the US doesn't really need their oil so much as they need their oil to keep flowing as to not jack up the global market?

ok man whatever you say. It’s definitely not seen here on this board literally daily, X, other places.

No one is stopping you from talking about Israel. You’re not going to get minority reported stop having main character syndrome. I support your right to speak freely I am just going to regard you as a clown and when you do so with no nuance, or at the minimum imply Israel while it has flaws to us brings immense value as a very good military ally
