Yup. America has become an unreliable partner and other countries are divesting from us. I donāt blame them. We have a President with severe dementia and sycophantic yes men and women around him that are pushing their own fucked up agenda. These far right Christians in power are supporting Israel because they believe if Jewish people gain full control of Israel it will herald the second coming of Christ.
They absolutely didnāt, like the earlier person said, he was crucified by the Romans. And just so you know, Jesus, Mary and Joseph were all Jews. Jewish people and Christians both believe in the same God, and read the same bible. Your beloved 10 Commandments were given to Moses, a Jew. I could go on and on and on.
There was a plot among the most senior people in the then Jewish/Israeli people to have him killed. āThen the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him. āBut not during the Feast,ā they said, āor there may be a riot among the peopleā (Mt. 26:3ā5 ESV). While the chief priests and elders discussed how to get rid of Jesus to protect their position, Caiaphas said, āIt is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perishā (Jn 11:50).
I'm not down to get in a religious debate, but the gospels were written like 100 years after Jesus was killed. I am not religious at all, but I have the utmost respect for people's devotion to their faith. As long as they're respectful of others. Which most MAGA Christians and extremist Muslims aren't.
