It’s “unkempt”, not “unkept”
It’s “piqued” your interest, not “peaked” your interest
It’s “a part of” or “apart from”, not “apart of”
It’s “to each his own”, not “to each is own”
It’s “moot” point, not “mute” point
Of COURSE the Bible commands us to support the modern state of Israel! It's right here in the good book, hang on.
Aha! Exodus 20:13, "You shall not murder."
Wait, hold on, that's not it. Here it is, Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers."
Hang on, shoot, that's not the one. What I meant to say is Lamentations 2:19, "Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street."
Ah, wrong one, lemme thumb through this a bit more. Got it! Proverbs 24:11, "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter."
Wait, sorry, no, it's Psalm 101:7, "No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes."
Oh no actually it's Proverbs 6:16-19, "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
Oops, no, it's definitely not that one. Actually it's Deuteronomy 27:25, "Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood."
No, dang it, that makes AIPAC recipients sound bad. Gimme a minute. Ah! Mark 12:31, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
No, wait, got it! Here it is, Romans 14:19, "Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification."
Oh no, that isn't the one I was looking for, it was Second Corinthians 13:11, "Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you."
Oh actually that one sounds kind of antisemitic in this context, gimme a sec.
Got it! Ephesians 4:3, "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
Hold on, that's not it either. The one I meant to cite was Hebrews 12:14, "Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord."
Oh boy, this really isn't going well. Lemme see... oh! James 3:18, "Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."
Gosh darn it, I made a mistake. The verse I meant to point to was First Peter 3:11, "They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it."
Wait, no, it was Galatians 5:22, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
Actually it was Luke 6:35-36, "But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
Oops, no, nope. Man this is way harder than I thought it was going to be. Oh! Hey! Found it! It was right here in Genesis the whole time, chapter 12, verse 3: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
There! See? It's right there in black and white. God's saying we are commanded to support a modern state that we created in 1948, no matter what it does. The Bible is entirely clear and unequivocal about this, and says absolutely nothing to the contrary.
Checkmate, heathen.
1) There is a reason why it should never, ever, be a political stunt or “let’s get tough” show of force to send the National Guard out against Americans. This became one of the most iconic photos of the Vietnam War era: The Kent State Massacre. Let’s see more next⬇️
FACT: Hitler and the Nazi Party repeatedly exaggerated or outright fabricated crime and unrest in order to justify taking over policing powers, centralizing control, and dismantling democratic safeguards.
Hitler’s regime weaponized false or exaggerated crime narratives to rally support for authoritarian measures, then used state police forces to suppress opposition and cement one-party rule. The playbook relied on creating a sense of emergency, undermining trust in democratic institutions, and convincing the public that only the Nazis could restore order.
Mother left with a ~$70,000 bill for a 15-minute trip to the emergency room for her 6-month-old son.
Absolutely insane.
CA woman Jessica Farwell says she was forced by doctors to put her son in a helicopter, which ended up costing $90,000.
The insanity doesn't end there.
After the 15-minute helicopter ride, which was deemed necessary by the doctors because the hospital Farwell went to didn't have a burn unit, she was forced to put her son in an ambulance to get him from the helipad to the hospital.
This was a 0.3-mile ride that they charged $10,200 for.
The son, Brody, was treated with second-degree burns and was discharged the next day.
The entire ordeal came to over $100,000.
"You look at the bills, and it's absolutely enraging. We got hit for a $600 waiting fee... there's a fee for it being a nighttime service... there's just every single fee you can think of!" the mother said to ABC 7.
Farwell said she was promised by doctors that her insurance would cover the costs. They didn't initially.
At first, her insurance wouldn't even cover half of the bill, meaning she would owe nearly $70,000.
"I've called the hospital, ambulance company, my insurance numerous times. It's been three years and then they wouldn't listen to me or talk to me. They just kept giving me the runaround..." she said.
It wasn't until Farwell went public with ABC 7 that the insurance company finally gave in and waived the fees.

This is the country that constantly used the "but in gaza, they don't allow gay people to exist" rhetoric to humanize and justify a literal fucking genocide.
