That's a very ignorant take on history, attempting to disconnect modern day Israel from the Israelites of which also comes Judaism from Israel's son, Judah and that tribe. Though, this has nothing to do with the religion specifically beyond its ideological influence of history.

You never thought as to why the modern state of Israel came to exist as it does? Restoration of 900 BC Israel? It was only later Israel would fall to the Assyrians. Then Judah to the Babylonians. The Canaanites at this point were way gone, Amon, Moab, etc., so the Israelites, as the tribes of Israel, were without homeland. No Israel, no Judah, nothing.

Then the Romans, then the English, blah, blah, blah. Suddenly it's the 1940s...

The British administrative mandate of Palestine—as the British empire just did with little regions all over the world—is coming to an end so they put the proposal to the UN. II's no Kingdom of Judah as well, where Jerusalem formerly was, but most of the landmass is central to the former Kingdom of Israel which was historically more prosperous and "the big one" anyway. Apart from this, it had nothing to do with America. The proposal itself had already been cooking for 30 years prior and the British were happy to execute it with UN agreeance. At times it was looking to go forward before WW2 was even a thing.

Your last statement is just entirely wrong, but it sounds catchy to anyone that's never looked at the history.

Buddhism. Gnostic Christianity. Hinduism. Probably a whole bunch more, I'm no theologian.

The hideousflaw in the post you're replying to isn't that, though. It's the idea that Israel invented Judaism, that Judaism is a monolith, that Israel is run on Jewish lines, and that Jews everywhere look to Israel for leadership.

That's some fucked-up thinking there. That thinking sucks.

I think most don't, and even in Judaism it's the more ethno-nationalist (i.e. Zionist) adherents that believe it. Christian nationalists and evangelicals do, but I don't think Protestants or Catholics do. And outside of Abrahamic religions, like Hinduism, at most it's kind of a "we're right you're wrong but idgaf", unless again you're getting into Hindu ethno-nationalism, but then the religion is just an excuse for facism and genocide, which brings us back around again.

Any time an opinion survey gives 4 options with no neutral answer and then lumps the responses into two categories...

A little alarm bell should go off in your head.

There's also the last part of that section:

On this question as well, we found a much greater degree of concern on the Left for the suffering and hunger in Gaza than in the Center and on the Right.

And now we're getting I to how Bibi's repeated cancelation of elections and open immigration for hard right e tremists and virtually no one else to juice those numbers.

I couldn't find a link to the poll, but it could be the vast majority of that 79% are effected by the standard psychological effects of how that survey was set up that anyone that stumbled past a grad level statistical analysis lecture in a drunken stupor would notice....

In fact, that set off so many of my alarm bells, I took two seconds to click the "about" section, see the guy running it also runs Home Depot, rembered how pro-Israel they are and even found you a source....

You fell for propaganda...

They're intentionally doing surveys that overstate Bibi's support bro.

You think you're hurting them, but you're doing what Israel wants right now, you're spreading their propaganda unintentionally...
