I find it so telling that people are happy to judge Muslims by their governments but will immediately complain if you judge them by their government.

Does Trump represent Christianity? Was America a Christian nation when it was segregated or when half of it it fought to maintain slavery or when gay people risked being executed for being gay? If so, is Christianity a fundamentally wicked religion?

It’s just so infuriatingly bigoted and lazy.

And yes, nobody “deserves” their own country. This is one of the reasons why this “Israel’s right to exist” trope is so annoying.

But PEOPLE have rights, to life, to freedom, to live in their homes and not be forcibly displaced. The rules of war state that it’s a war crime to deliberately destroy civilian homes in an attempt to drive people from their land. These are the rights that Israel has spent decades violating.
