AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

I live just north of NYC and the Congressional District is mostly suburban with a small part of the Bronx.

So if Israel gets invaded by Lebanese or Iranians, then the arrow of history is pointed in the right direction, but if it's invaded by Egyptians, no particular good comes of it?

Well unless the end times were to start happening they would just argue to defend Israel for the real invasion no matter where it came from. The worst part is these zionist are supporting the horrors going on based on Nero fan fiction written well after the disciple John would have died.

I agree, the more I've learned about Christian Zionism the less it has seemed to have any convincing basis in Christian scriptures.

I've gone down an academic rabbit hole consuming as much Dan McClellan content as I can. There is evidence to support that even when the canon was being established around 200-300 CE that Relevation barely made the cut and had detractors then. I wish I could recall the book Dan cited in one video but it goes over how American Evangelical Christianity has morphed into its own religion where politics come first and the Bible second.
