“How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD, ” when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have? Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. “Peace, peace, ” they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says the LORD. “‘I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.’” (Jeremiah 8:8-13)

This is about Left-wing politics and power in Israel. Israel does not have a Constitution. The Supreme Court makes decisions based on their opinion of right and wrong. The Supreme Court is overwhelming Left-wing. Conservatives in Israel (who have the majority of voters behind them) want to change the law which allows the Left-wing court to make decisions they don't like. I believe Netanyahu and the conservatives are right.

Poland is the chosen nation now. 🤘🏻 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. Matthew 3:9

Good enough for palistinian people. So good enough for jews

With all its problems, the Israeli leadership is always democratically and representatively elected. The Palestinian leadership?

I couldn't care less about these people who are happy to support an apartheid state. I care about the Palestinians whose human rights have been infringed for decades. Maybe these people are having a piece of their own medicine. They can't complain when they approve of their distain towards innocent Palestinians 😔
