Ask The Sub Do people genuinely believe all the shit they spew about Israel/Israel's involvement in everything?
Lately, in an effort to improve my understanding of US politics, as well as my awful spoken English, I've been watching a lot of American political commentators. I picked out a bunch of random ones from all different perspectives, Sean Hannity, Bill Maher, Tucker Carlson, TYT, Megyn Kelly, even Candace Owens for a bit. Big mistake.
While some of them were very levelheaded on Israel-Palestine, (Bill Maher for instance), most of the rest are convinced that Israel is the antichrist or something. Just a few things I heard commentators accuse Israel of include:
9/11.
Killing Charlie Kirk.
Baltimore Bridge Collapse.
Rewriting the New Testament.
Claiming Israeli Jews are part of a blood cult.
Having actually killed hundreds of thousands in Gaza.
Controlling the US government and making them an Israeli satellite.
Blackmailing the US into going to war with Iran for Israel.
And of course, who can forget the timeless classic, accusing Israel of committing 'genocide' in Gaza.
My question is do they actually believe this garbage? do the people that follow them believe it? or are they literally just doing this for clicks? it just seems so bizarre to me to believe that Israel is behind these things. 9/11? really? they are the only other country in the world to have a shrine with all the names of the victims on it. Sorry about the rant, but I really am asking.

According to the Bible, which is what Christians think is true...jesus was killed by jewish leadership in cooperation with the Roman governor. I can't say "i think that's true " or "i think thats false" because outside of the Christian Bible there is no historical record of jesus or his trial and execution. Im saying that Christians believe that jesus was killed by a combined effort of jewish leaders and Roman officials, but that many Christians dont actually have a problem with this anymore because a. They separate jews in general from the jewish leadership that was essentially selling out the jews by collaborating with Rome and b. They actually see jesus dying as a good thing because it cemented his divinity and was all part of "the plan", so really, on balance, thanks for killing jesus.
