Shoq 🌿Oct 12, 2023

In the last 20 years, I’ve read only one mostly fair and balanced unpacking of the fundamentals behind the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It was this one, by Max Fisher. It’s 8 years old, but still mostly current.

I urge everyone, especially you GenZs who are new to this ongoing tragedy to read it. It’s important to know what’s real, what’s myth, and what’s complete bullshit. Dare I say it? “On both sides.”

Myth #2: what makes me always angry that the most pro-Israel evangelical #Christian think that it is their religious duty to support Israel against Palestinians, completely ignoring that at least quarter of Palestinians used to be Christians. Now, due to complete neglect from the Christian West and hatred from the Islamic East, they are mostly gone or dead.
