Snake-oil salesmen come in wondrous variety, and they sure found a fertile field with Zionism. Look at all the mishmash of random garbage they seize upon to justify themselves.

Bronze Age myths of promised lands, made-up Biblical prophecies from snake-oil peddlers 200 years dead, a settler-colonial myth that could have been made up by Cecil Rhodes, and the deliberately twisted libel that Judaism is the same thing as Zionism.

Zionism uses religion in the same way Nazism did. The German Nazis appropriated pagan Germanic myths and twisted them into a monstrously mystical justification for conquest and ethnic cleansing. Zionists attempt to appropriate both Judaism and Christianity to accomplish something that goes against the fundamental tenets of both religions.

I knew religious people were nutty, but I thought the majority had moved passed batshit crazy
