Well, well… and people have always said bringing the Bible into it would only “make the Jewish claim a laughingstock.” Yet another piece of proof that the hard-nosed realism the anti-Zionists want the Jews to go by (while sticking to fiery, ideological “No justice, no peace!” claims themselves) is the very way to the devaluation of the Jewish claim.
Sometimes “Believe or burn” happens to be the best argument. Yes, it’s irrefutable, but that’s a feature, not a bug—why would we want our claims to be refuted?
If God gets his revenge on the Democratic Party for leaving His name out of its platform and sees to it that Romney wins, watch how fast the Republicans backpedal on Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Just like Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. The GOP is filled with duplicitous jerks.
You have a crystal ball? Or is it in your brain?
It’s based on 65 years of American diplomacy. Every living ex-president is on the Saudi payroll and it looks like Obama is not about to yield his seat on the gravy train. If Romney in fact does move the embassy to Jerusalem, then he will truly break with the past.
