Imagine going to the desert for a rave, in an apartheid state, mere miles from an open air concentration camp and not wondering if you are the baddies. (hexbear.net)

It’s really wild how hard the media is trying to emotionally anchor this for Americans. They reference 9/11 AND Pearl Harbor in that list.

I have no way of really knowing, but I strongly suspect that Average-America’s regard for Israel is far more negative or at least neutral than it might have been a decade ago, and the way the media is going so hard in framing the narrative feels like they know it.

20+ years ago I was an Evangelical Christian. That group is rabidly pro-Israel now but at least before 9/11… well I would say they were exactly anti-Israel but the support was much, much more subdued.

It's genuinely creepy to me how Evangelicals deliberately want to make their apocalypse happen on a predictable and imminent timetable as a matter of policy.
