    This is yet another reason why why ANY theocracy, of any denomination, is incompatible with modernity.

    Not only does it limit the citizenry’s representation in terms of beliefs and cultural shifts incompatible with the faith within, it creates a common enemy for idiotic, ancient deity dick measuring squabbles from the outside.

    I respect a person’s right to pray to whatever pokemon they want. Charizard, Yahweh, Mr. Mime, Allah, whoever speaks to your soul or whatever. I don’t respect any person’s right to use the pokemon they pray to as a rational to limit the rights of anyone else for any reason, ok you super serious Pokemon Masters?

    Israel isn’t some great line of defense for the Jews, it’s a massive, singular target for the other idiot theocracies in the region that they hate and hate them back to attack, great choice of location by the way if you wanted to feel safe.

    Israel is basically the geopolitical equivalent of what John McClain was coerced to do in Harlem in Die Hard 3, only for Israel it was a choice.

      With this line of thinking you could also say it’s the Palestinians choice to be there. Why don’t just make Palestine somewhere else?
