@MarciaW So many atrocities have been perpetrated in God's name, with no justification for dragging Him into it. He said to Moses "Thou Shalt Not Kill". Therefore, their action is illegitimate.
Whatever motivates the mongrels in Israel, their zeal is no less illegitimate. Islam is not a violent and vengeful religion.
The common denominator is the male-of-the-species. Hubristic, Narcissistic, convinced-of-their-superiority, shit4brains males. That number, of course, includes Putin - who hasn't struck a legitimate target since the second week of his 3 day campaign to reclaim Ukraine.

The medieval logic of the crusades. But MAGA seems determined to drag the world back to the 13th century.
