Anything referencing Palestine must be erased. This is the exact shit that the GOP is claiming is happening to their own shit heels. But collectively as a species all world media is okay doing this to Palestine? Fucken crazy.
I always considered myself more conservative and an evangelical Christian. Yet I am upset at and also very suspicious of this blind support for Israel. Like it’s actually getting ridiculous at this point. I even changed the title as it’s literally just a watermelon. Yet all sorts of outlets are reporting on it being “anti semitic” and “erases israel”. It’s like a weird cancel culture is going on.
If you also want to know my opinion as an evangelical, I cannot find any biblical justification for the existence of this “state of israel”.
The article says it is a watermelon shaped like israel. I don’t know why is (or is percieved to be) a pro-palestinian message, and I don’t care enough about a t-shirt to look it up, but the show producers at least thought it was a political statement. I wonder if a shirt with simply a triangular slice of watermelon would be banned.
Thanks for the post. While you’re at your Bible studies may I suggest looking for evidence of hell? I have studied the Bible but I can’t find anything other than souls perishing instead of going to eternal torture.
Plus your god isn’t some random asshole like the other ones right?
Matthew 23:29-33 ESV
[29] “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, [30] saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ [31] Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. [32] Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. [33] You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?
Matthew 25:41-46 ESV
[41] “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. [42] For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, [43] I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ [44] Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ [45] Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ [46] And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Revelation 20:12-15 ESV
[12] And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. [13] And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. [14] Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. [15] And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Seems pretty clear, although you have to join the dots between verses to get the full thing. I have looked into other religions and Christianity seems the most probable by a mile.
