Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "The whole propaganda machine that has been spoon-fed to Christians … 'We have to do everything for Israel,' 'That's the only way we're going to go to heaven,' 'America will be cursed if we don't'—That whole lie is breaking apart."

I think the biggest indicator of the fact that this wasn't a "conflict" or a "war" or literally anything you can "both sides" is: no part of Israel looks like this
So much of what passes for “Christian influence” today sounds more like Christian control.
We hear calls to “take back the culture,” “reclaim America for Christ,” and “restore Christian values.” But the kingdom of God doesn’t come by seizing cultural control. It doesn’t advance by force or fear. It spreads through weakness, confession, forgiveness, and love.
“Christian nationalism” turns the Christian’s calling to serve into a crusade to conquer. It assumes that the kingdom of God is something we build, when the gospel says it’s something we receive.
Grace frees us from the burden of “taking back” anything. The world doesn’t need our dominance — it needs our service. The gospel doesn’t build empires — it resurrects sinners.
Putting differing historical narratives, policy prescriptions aside, we call for unhindered humanitarian aid via all int'l channels, immediate #ceasefire in Gaza to #endthewar, and to #freeallhostages. In support of @jstreetdotorg/@mpac_national statement. https://t.co/l1ESwgfcYN
Yesterday I spoke to a Christian pastor from Gaza.
There are children starving.
And Christians have been killed and injured, as well as many innocent people.
If you are an American Christian, this should be absolutely unacceptable to you.
Just as we said that Hamas killing and kidnapping innocent people on Oct 7th is absolutely unacceptable.
Are innocent Israeli lives more valuable than innocent Palestinian and Christian lives?
And why should America continue funding this?
The secular government of nuclear armed Israel has proven that they are beyond capable of dealing with their enemies and are capable of and are in the process of systematically cleansing them from the land.
Most Americans that I know don’t hate Israel and we are not antisemitic at all.
We are beyond fed up with being told that we have to fix the world’s problems, pay for the world’s problems, and fight all the world’s wars while Americans are struggling to survive even though they work everyday.
And many of us, even though we are Christians, no longer want to fund and fight nuclear armed secular Israel’s wars especially when it leads to starving children and killing innocent people including Christians.
Of course we are against radical Islamic terrorism, but we are also against genocide.
You see..
When you have worked your entire life, and will only receive a $1,000 Social Security check, but noncitizens were given $3,500 and more, you are pissed off.
When you have worked your entire life, and all your elected federal officials have recklessly spent and sent your hard earned money to every foreign country and every foreign war and NGO to the point we are almost $40 TRILLION in debt and inflation has caused life to be unaffordable, you are pissed off.
When you have worked your entire life, and your elected federal government officials refuse to fix the absurd problems that makes all insurance unaffordable, you are pissed off.
And for the younger generations, who are trying their hardest to make it in this ridiculous system, they feel hopeless!
And that makes me burn with anger.
None of this is antisemitic and I, along with millions of Americans, refuse that manipulative label.
It’s the consequences of decades of America LAST policies, nonstop foreign intervention, and the American people clearly seeing the truth and suffering.
Here is where I stand.
No American should face persecution of any kind because of their identity.
Not Jewish American.
Not Muslim American.
Not Christian American.
Not White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, mixed American.
And on and on.
We already have hate crime laws against that and that’s not who we are in America and we have and should continue to work hard to not allow ourselves to become that.
My position is this.
As a U.S. Representative, I represent the American people.
My full focus is on fixing America’s problems.
And right now, the problems in America are threatening my children’s future.
I consider that a war against my children.
Every single person, no matter who they are that continues to enslave my children in debt, continues policies that make their lives unaffordable, and prioritizes foreign countries and foreign wars above my children’s lives and livelihoods, I see as the enemy waging the war against my children and their generation.
I will continue to push for world peace because that is the type of world I want for my children and all the world’s children.
I want America to put American companies and American jobs first and to protect American land and American homes from foreign consumption.
Most importantly, I demand the federal government serve the American people, who pay your salaries.
September 30th brings another annual government funding deadline.
I sincerely hope Republicans, out on August recess right now, will return in September with a renewed focus to stop funding foreign wars and stop waging the fiscal war against my children and their entire generation.
The dam is breaking.
We’ve seen a growing number of Jewish leaders and institutions speak out against the horror in Gaza and the need to stop mass starvation and seal a war-ending hostage deal. 🧵
