Got myself in trouble on X, I forgot it’s hateful to notice things and call for repentance. The offending tweet/comment was about Netanyahu:
This is so bizarre.
If I’m understanding correctly, Netanyahu is signaling to Biblically illiterate Christians to support a religious ethnostate that is antithetical to Christianity, a religion he himself doesn’t believe in?
And he wants them to support a genocide of his neighbors?! referring to them as “Amalek” (despite them being Persian and explicitly not the long extinct Amalekites).
Weirder still is that Netanyahu is secular, and does not actually believe in Amalek, let alone the “return” of the very Messiah that his own religious ethnostate denies is the prophesied Messiah.
This is entirely too much cognitive and ideological dissonance.
In a secular worldview, talk of Amalek is metaphorical for genocide, and talk of the Messiah is simply nonsensical.
To a secular person, Netanyahu sounds deranged and bloodthirsty.
To a Christian, Netanyahu sounds like he’s speaking from the “synagogue of Satan” from Revelation 3:9 (those “who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie”).
To a religious Jew, Netanyahu is violating Torah, following in the path of Manasseh, ignoring the very clear warnings from Moses (in Deuteronomy) of blessings and curses on the people of Israel.
The only coherent response to all of this is repentance, sackcloth and ashes like Nineveh.
May God have mercy on us,
