The large majority of Zionists are not Jewish, but evangelical Christians who eagerly anticipate Armageddon and expect that Jews will either convert or burn in hell. Zionism is not Judaism and Judaism is not Zionism.
I grew up in this theology and it's a toxic mess. They're practically wetting themselves in anticipation over this most recent escalation by Zionist forces against Iran.
There are people out there who WANT this entire planet destroyed because they think Jesus will give them a brand new one. 😐

The Future Of Humanity Will Be Decided In Gaza
There’s a reason the Nazis loom so large in our history, a reason why the story of their defeat is a collective cultural reference point, depicted regularly in films, books and music.

A narrative is recited almost everywhere: that Rachel Reeves is being "forced" to cut benefits, and is faced with "hard choices" or "no choice". This story, a staple of neoliberal doctrine, is completely false, as @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains: www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...
Is Rachel Reeves constrained by the City?
Is the City really stopping Rachel Reeves from doing what Labour wants, or is she just using it as a convenient excuse for her neoliberal austerity?

These crimes were hidden for generations. Now Australia's having a moment of truth
Australia has a painful past. For the first time, the country has been grappling with recording the stories of that history in a truth-telling commission.
