The Promised Land. To Whom?

I posted something on X recently that actually made. me begin thinking about the topic I was posting on, in a different way. I’ve been posting, and responding to, the absolute flood of anti-Tucker Carlson posts that have been made since he posted his two-and-a-half hour interview with our Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. Carlson, and his small crew, flew to Israel and held the interview at the airport. I watched the interview and I found Tucker, as he usually is, asking tough questions and asking a followup question where it was required in order to make the interviewees answer clear. Of course, the amount of hate and nastiness aimed at Tucker was amazing.

Let me begin by saying I am not a Christian, if you were unaware, I am an atheist. I am also not a Zionist (that doesn’t require any religious belief, although it seems to always be associated with at least one.). I don’t believe that the people that currently occupy that strip of land in the middle east known as Israel have any more right to it than anyone else. Me, you, people from anywhere with ay religious belief (or none) have as much right to that small strip of land on the eastern Mediterranean as anyone. In fact, all any have to do is take a look at the book that the current residents hold as holy to determine that they actually stole that land from some people that were already there and had been there for , well, generations.

If you’re a Christian r a Jew and don’t;t know that, then you haven’t read your holy book recently, if at all. You may say, “Well, God gave that land to the Hebrews.” and by the book, you’d b right, of course. But if I give you a gift, do I then make you spend years in vicious battle to claim that gift? Of course not. How many murders would you commit for an inestimable gift? Well, the Hebrews killed everybody and everything, including pets, sheep and cattle. How great is that god? If you read a story about.a religion you knew nothing about and their god had promised them a homeland but they had to literally wipeout all the current residents, would you look at following?

And yet, Tucker Carlson caught a lot of grief because he asked our silly, useless ambassador to Israel some tough questions about the warring habits of our “ally”, Israel. The ambassador actually said at one point that the land that god originally gave to the Hebrews was rightfully theirs, even today(“They could take it all”). Note that Israel is not only in battle (along with the U.S.) against Iran, but are also occupying a good part of Lebanon right now. How much breathing space do they need?
