2000 years since what? Zionism is like 100 years old. Israel is 75 years old.

Yeah, it's not the only cult unfortunately.

Which 2000-year-old cult are you talking about? Noah Schnapp is not a Christian. He was a 19 year old man who showed support for Zionism at the same time that Israel launched a genocide in Gaza.

Not the first genocide either. It took like a decade for Americans to sour on Iraq/Afghanistan wars, and now we've like 15 veteran committing suicide. It took Germany 5 years after WW2 started for Operation Valkyrie to be attempted. We're already established that Israelis are no batter than Nazis in Germany. It may take them 5+ years to realize they've been false flagged and tricked into committing a genocide.

None of that actually stopped the things from happening though. We are still freezing Afghanistan's international funds, even as they are on the brink of famine.

???? Germany has fined and deported people for being propalestinian as well as shut down countless demonstrations

The genocide didn't start in october 2023. Jfc why do you people always do this sophomoric bullshit?

Maybe the German government thinks it's important for Jews to see how easy it is to fall for a Reichstag fire event.

2000 years is the approximate age of Christianity. Judaism is much older and Hinduism and Zoroastrianism may be older still. What are you talking about?

[–] DaMummy@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a slow process that takes thousands of years to break free from. Genocide was what got me to abandon my cult. Let's see if it'll be enough for jews.

That's solely based on the cults around Jesus.

But the topic is zionism, isn't it? Either you'd want the age of Judaism (~4000 years, and also pretty antisemitic to say) or the age of the Zionist movement, which idr the exact age of offhand but I think it's less than 150 years. Or the age of Israel, which is about 75.

But maybe more pertinent is the fact that religion isn't the prime mover of geopolitics, material interests are, and religion is a traditional rhetorical framing for getting people to support your geopolitical interests.
