“Christ is king”

One of the themes of the article was about the growth of anti Israel views on the US right. I have now found some interesting figures:

  • A 2025 Pew Research Center survey found that negative views of Israel among conservatives under 50 jumped from 35% to 50% over a three-year period.
  • Among young evangelicals (ages 18–29), support fell from 69% in 2018 to roughly 33% by 2021, a trend that observers believe has accelerated following the 2023–2024 conflict.
It's all because of idiotic social media and fake news.

As are a lot of today's problems.

But it is happening and I don't believe that sensible, non-partisan articles discussing it should be condemned (I don't mean by you).

If you posted it I’d have given it a chance. But all odds does is post about the naughty Jews
 
The Jews get a ton of stick from around the world. They have been constantly victimised etc. That is bang out of order.

Israel is surrounded by mad mullahs. All wanting death to Israel.

Social media and the gutter press all gang up on the Jews.

It's disgusting.

80 years ago the Jews were slaughtered and couldn't stand up for themselves. Now they can! And people don't like that. Why? Because they have been brought up to hate the Jew, to hate Israel....

I for one won't be bought on that.
 
Can you stop trying to bully forum members.

Can you stop trying to frame being legitimately but unthreateningly questioned and criticised as bullying.

The moment you wrote this

Reported.

You never learn. Anyone else would get a ban for the rubbish you post.

you chose to change the discussion from one about the subject matter in the article Odds posted to one about whether Odds should be allowed to post it.

If you thought that all you would get for writing that was kudos you need to reset your expectations of how you think people should interact with you.

I agree with much of that. The hatred from many of the Muslims who surround Israel is obvious.

Then there are those on the far left who call themselves anti-Zionists, many of whom honestly are just opposing Israeli excesses, but some of whom cross over into anti-Semitism.

What we hadn't really seen much of for many years, though, were the classic anti-Semitic tropes about Jews controlling the world and being responsible for all our ills. It is that sort of classic anti-Semitism which is now having a major resurgence on the far right. Including on the Christian right in the USA.

There’s only you and your other poster name @morqthana who cares.

You work hard to look a prize plum!! It’s working
 
Never mentioned murdering anyone.

You absolutely did.

You said you would be the judge and executioner if anyone took your tools and you either caught them at it or caught up with them. You also said you wouldn't bother with the police or courts to deal with them.

I would be the judge and executioner if anyone took my tools and I either caught them at it or caught up with them. I wouldn't bother with the police or courts to deal with them, live by the sword and die by the sword.

So what you said was that without recourse to any due legal process, without even trying to get the police to deal with them, you would simply kill anybody who stole property from you.

What possible legal basis do you think there is for saying that intentionally killing them would not be murder?

Do us all a favour, stop being a Troll.

You’re rubbish at it.

Think on…
 
Do us all a favour, stop being a Troll.

Rationally analysing someones posts and pointing out flaws and contradictions in them is not trolling.

I did not argue with Highway Man cynically, or to create conflict, or just for the sake of it as some kind of perverse fun.

I was being completely sincere, and genuine, and honest, and not being the slightest disingenuous.

If someone says he'd kill someone for stealing his tools and then tries to claim that he wasn't saying he'd commit murder then the reality of what simply and premeditatedly killing people as extra-judicial punishment is needs to be explained to them.

I posted what I did because I believe with all my heart and soul that it was the right thing to do.

You may disagree about that. You might think that its perfectly OK for someone to say that they'd deliberately take the life of another human being if they stole from you and to claim that it would not be murder.

But you have no grounds to impugn my motives if I say I don't think that.
 
I don't have another poster name. STOP LYING.




You apparently care a great deal that you got anything other than praise for declaring that you had reported a post.

Oh but your do have other poster names…

It’s sad, just admit it you plum.

Pure and utter word salad.
