This text shows how a distorted theology has been turned into a tool to justify the occupation and destruction of a nation. No true faith can be built on the devastation of others’ homes. Palestine is not merely a matter of politics. it is a matter of human conscience.🕊

Comprehensive article. Strong through line. You connected all the dots. How do you move forward given the circumstances you outline here? Sounds untenable without a miracle or two?

Aren’t you guys entitled under this prophecy of being Abraham’s descendants through Ishmael for divine right to inhabit Jerusalem as capital of your ancestral homeland? Isn’t that stated in their rulebook?

Seems you guys have to be included as descendants of Abraham’s first son, Ishmael, thereby making you eligible for all the privileges of blood relations. That seems to be their rules?

How many of those guys claiming to be descendants of Abraham actually have the blood of Abraham running through their veins?

Is that a religious technicality that is covered by an addendum in the Scofield version?

That’s really messed up. Great writing. I like your style. Perceptive, relentless, and rigorous!

Thank you—and yes, exactly. It’s important not to get caught up in the logic of that theology, because engaging it on its own terms risks legitimizing it. The point isn’t to claim a competing scriptural right but to expose the entire structure as biblical colonialism.

There can be no liberation without confronting the system that weaponizes the Christian faith to justify dispossession—and this is the responsibility of every Palestinian Christian whose religion has been turned against its own people. But this applies equally to all Palestinians, regardless of faith, who live under the same conditions of occupation and exile.

Until that foundational belief system is challenged—until this cult is exposed—its political machinery will keep reproducing itself under new names. What’s lacking in today’s global solidarity movements is that they are not radical enough in their critique of the biblical narrative that underpins empire itself.

Hey Abu Alya, Is this an example of the underpinnings you’re referring to?

Yes, you make an essential point that we’re “not radical enough in our critique of the biblical narrative that underpins empire itself”.

Would that critique necessarily entail the criticism of the entire Abrahamic structure? And, would we be getting close to the Jungian archetypes?

So, we have to expose the flaws in Scofield’s erroneous assumptions, and logical fallacies, and where he contradicts the Bible?

This rightly exposes the dangerous nature of the fusion between religion and politics in America’s support for Israel; no true faith can justify occupation, discrimination, or killing. Using religious belief to legitimize oppression is a betrayal of both humanity and faith itself💔

I cannot understand how this world, so proud of its humanity, can remain silent before such injustice.

It seems the eyes still see the truth, but the hearts no longer tremble.

The pain of Palestine is a cry lost in the silence of the world,

and my heart burns with every glimpse of their suffering—

not from anger, but from the endless sorrow of being human.

Succinctly explains the dark alignment of two groups of fanatics and the origins of their parasitic relationship. Even if Netanyahu went to prison tomorrow, would that actually stop the genocide? Have they already reached their evil goals?

I don't hear enough people discussing how beautiful Genocide is - for the bottom line of arms dealers. Billions poured into the military industrial complex to replace the profits of occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq. Every war is gold when you're selling mechanized death. So we see the true face of American interventionism in the Middle East - pure profit, confused ideologies, and no regard for human life whatsoever.

Exactly👌the text clearly shows that when the boundary between faith and political power is broken, the result is not holiness but perversion. No divine religion can be a means of justifying violence, discrimination, or the denial of humanity. Faith, if it is true, must become a source of justice, compassion, and human dignity, not a cover for the domination and suffering of others🥺🥹💔🕊
