The whole “are they the same Jews” argument is less aimed at Israel’s “right to exist” and more at the Evangelical reason for supporting Israel. In a sense this isn’t even the business of Jews.
@billionsmustliv You give him more credit for having a coherent arc than I do. He knows that Christians are better off in Israel than in other ME countries. He just wants to sow seeds of doubt in Evangelicals. It would surprise me if DNA was their main criterion, but they
@billionsmustliv will have to settle their own theological issues.
@billionsmustliv If Carlson genuinely wanted the interests of Christians to be the criterion he would argue for Israel conquering Lebanon because Christians there would be safer under Israeli rule.
@billionsmustliv Which Israeli occupied territory are you talking about?
@billionsmustliv Why “therefore”?
@billionsmustliv Israel doesn’t govern Bethlehem.
@billionsmustliv Should Israel re-occupy Bethlehem to protect Christians there?
@billionsmustliv He can try to explain why PA governance would be preferable to Israeli
@billionsmustliv Yes, because that's what I take you to be doing so far.
@billionsmustliv I more or less agree with this.
@billionsmustliv I doubt he believes this at this point but, anyway, you seemed to be trying to articulate his position, as you understood it, so I was engaging with that.
@billionsmustliv Nevertheless, if Carlson was really interested in the welfare of Christians he would consider all possibilities. Maybe future polls will show different results.
@slooperbia50068 @billionsmustliv Should be Maronite.
@slooperbia50068 @billionsmustliv He's deliberatly subverting their administration.
@billionsmustliv @slooperbia50068 I don't know this source so I'll wait and see.
