    Israel is always throwing tantrums and calling moral adjective when it’s caught doing bullshit. Such an self-righteous country. Spoiled brats.

    No wonder they invented God. Might be the expression of their ego and their self righteousness.

    They blame even God for their atrocities (God told is to commit genocide against Amalek, God told Moses to kill 3000 people due to the Golden Calf, God told us to kill people working on Saturday). If they blame God for their actions, it’s very easy for them to also blame Hamas or Palestinians for being genocided

      Yes and do you know why we celebrate passover? Because God hardened the Pharaoh’s heart to not let the Isrealites leave Egypt, so He could test these new weapons on Egyptian civilians (who had no power over the Pharaoh). They were plagues and now they’re “battle tested”. And

      Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.

      Exodus 11:5

      Like with Amalek, not even the cows could catch a break! Pretty violent tradition.

        Well, I have my own religion for me, but it’s personal and I don’t bring it up in conversations.

        For me religions, outside of the personal level, is just a collection of tribal myths. This includes Judaism, Christianism, Hinduism, Islam, any religion, including mine. Religion for me is only valid as a personal experience.

        If Torah said God told Jews to commit genocide, for me it means Jews committed it, and put the blame on some power none of them can question.

        I’m just saying that for someone who can blame God for their acts can also blame victims for being genocided.
