Doesn't appear so indeed. Except when you analyze some facts....We have a 100% complete data set on congress while the actual # of identifying Christians in the U.S. is estimated from a pew poll of 10,000 or so randomly selected people out of 350 or so million in the U.S.
So How accurately the numbers reflect the actualities are debatable. I'd say we can call this a wash for both of us but I'd say close enough for my estimate of reflecting the general population. And that goes for those who claim to be Christian but very rarely act like it. People just don't take these labels seriously anymore. They throw them around mostly for expediencies sake at the moment.
Why they fund Israel's defense has a tad bit more history and tactical reasoning behind it than because they are blind to "Palestinian Genocide". Which itself is a phrase that is arguably being misused.
First, Israel has declared it is not deliberately targeting civilian Palestinians. What it is targeting is Hamas military targets. Slapping lipstick on a pig still makes it a pig. If Hamas is using hospitals and mosques to conduct military operations which has now been independently verified then those places have made themselves military targets and are targetable under international conventions.
For example...every participatory nation on earth during world war I and II have at times targeted civilian structures when identified as military targets. The current Ukrainian/Russian war is doing it now. All the surrounding hypocritical Arab countries have done it and have went even further by deliberately seeking out civilian targets which have no military value whatsoever in order to purposefully inflict high CIVILIAN casualties. Including Hamas and that terrorists supporting Palestinian population which by the way have openly declared to not stop attacking Israel and Jews until they are completely eliminated from the earth. THATS genocide! Yet for some reason - read politicizing BS
- that word hasn't been thrown into the mainstream awareness until Israel is suddenly the horrible monster committing genocide. Talk about the Hypocrisy.
Second, consider that Hamas has been declared a terrorist organization and consequently not covered under the Geneva conventions where most people are getting their definition of what constitutes genocide from.
AND Palestinians have openly proclaimed their support for Hamas, even according to witness testimony and Hamas's own damning videos, going so far as helping to hide and abuse the "civilian" hostages taken by Hamas. Does that make the Palestinians no longer covered under the conventions as well? Not to mention consider that even the UN has recently had to admit to and fire a dozen of its own which were discovered with evidence to have helped to initiate the Hamas atrocities committed on Israeli civilians in their attack.
Thirdly, much of the horrible civilian casualties being inflicted on the Palestinian people are due to the deliberate actions of Hamas...the terrorists those same people have proclaimed support for.
?? I'm not a Zionist.
You've just called the entirety of the -no, I'll say nearly the entirety since some Palestinians are decent, rational, folk- Palestinian population dumb and bigoted. They've openly declared their anti-Semitism for all the world to see. You've got to have one eye shut and be blind in the other not to have seen that if you've done any due diligence and looked into some of this stuff. I guess its a different standard for them though.
What evidence, other than emotional ranting, can you provide?
No, I'm getting this from Hamas's own videos and bragging. The Al Jazeera network and evidence provided by Israel which has been independently verified by the UN and other organizations.
Used to be concentrated on the hated Jews. Now the Christians as well. Pretty soon the middle eastern Arabs/Muslims will start in on the Atheists which they've already technically condemned and have blamed for the situations they have a strong hand in putting themselves into. Good luck.
Hmmm, it would be interesting to see, among what we have each read, seen, and discussed, what can actually be verified and by whom.
I'm sure we'd both be surprised somewhat.
And I agree with you, if you think that is a sad situation.
Stop and consider though, Muslims have historically killed more of each other than Jews or Christians have. America has arguably done more for Muslim rights than any nation on earth. And that despite having its citizens being deliberately attacked, and it as a nation being deliberately declared a nation that must be destroyed in its entirety.
All else being equal have you stopped to consider that both sides may have an surreptitious agenda.
The rhetoric you decry may just as likely be the rhetoric you'd endorse if from a different perspective.
