Are Christians and Muslim extremists "teaming up" to exterminate Jews?

It's a psychology I've noticed among extremists of both religions -- the idea of an apocalypse.

Sure, the Torah has the Book of Daniel, but nothing like Revelations. Nothing like the selection of chosen few to survive a coming apocalypse. Maybe that's why the later religions hate their muse.

the jews that don't convert will die.

The far right Jews love him because he will turn a blind eye to what they do to the Palestinians.

BTW, this includes Israel annexing the entire West Bank. Huckabee has, in the past, openly supported the taking of West Bank land from the Palestinians and doesn't recognize that the West Bank even exists.

More FAFO I guess.

... whose sole aim is to ensure you are on the path to hell, who needs enemies?

The tragedy of Muslim Americans voting for stein or that man in some nonsensical effort to "show" the democrats their power and have leverage.. it's too much. Just too much.

Have leverage to do what after four years of that man? They think things will somehow just stay at a stand still until the next opportunity to vote (or not vote)? Having power to extract a concession of some kind in relation to action in the Palestinian territories presumes those territories still exist. A presumption that is almost certainly very very wrong.

That man only takes glee in the suffering as more and more entire Palestinian families -- every last one -- are wiped off the face of the earth in Gaza and the slow takeover the West Bank via illegal incursion shifts to annexation in one fell swoop.

in the process according to Smotrich. The expulsion of anybody left alive in Gaza will happen or at least the Palestinians left alive will be super crowded into the southern half. As I recall it was last week that the IDF talked about a whole new "beefed up" presence on the West Bank/Jordanian border. Smotrich, Ben-Gvir and other right radicals have long talked about "taking" the East bank area of the Jordan River.

A couple of weeks ago 90% of the Knesset members voted against allowing UNRWA (and hence, aid) into Gaza. ‘Most’ of those voting against the measure were Arab Knesset members. I don’t think we can blame all of this on Smotrich or Gvir.

The Knesset members are 90% Jewish, and they voted almost to a man to mot let UNRWA in with aid. Thats why I say you can’t blame the situation just on the two right wingers mentioned.

turns a blind eye to the attacks on Israel. Also the West Bank between 1967 and the partition of Ottoman (Turkey) territory which gave the West Bank to Jordan to administer after WW2. In 67, Israel took the West Bank from Jordan (as well as the Golan from Syria and the Sinai from Egypt, the countries that initiated the 67 War). So the actual proper path would be to return the West Bank to Jordan. Jordan would treat the Palestinians even worse. In 1949, Jordan actually granted Palestinians living in the West Bank Jordanian citizenship, but they will be stripped of citizenship if they try to get government services. But it is strange, Palestinians are the largest ethnic group in Israel to have citizenship.

They also hate Israel.

They actually came together on their opposition to lgbt. Some of this broke apart after the attacks on Israel by Hamas and the regular conservatives were supporting Israel.

But you have this other crowd like Candace Owens and tucker Carlson and they are very anti semitic.

It's worth reading comments sections of various social media and forums.

non-Jews should leave. It is interesting to note that some of the more visible old line Kahanists claim to have changed their tune but that might just be for public consumption. It is also to note that Israel has now bombed at least one mostly Christian town in Lebanon. The point here being that we are not likely to see the Israeli government go back to a more moderate sort of leadership and policies for a long while yet. As far as Huckabee goes I think despite him being a Christian minister he wouldn't say a peep if a church were bombed a block from his house as long as there was some way for him to grift it.

while the most powerful nation in the world egged them on.

If there are too religions ganging up to exterminate a 3RD one, it's not the one you think.

Frankly, I think all religions have been bastardized.

All they've done is allow the wealthy and powerful to destroy the weak and the poor, with the promise that, things "will be better" for the weak and the poor in the next life.

It's a pretty fucking convenient scam, isn't it?

"Embrace your suffering! Welcome it!" You're reward comes after you die.
