I'm an Aussie and religion doesn't play much of a role at all in most things like this. The issue obviously was the Oath which I think was interpreted in a range of ways. But certainly never any Christian prayers. That's just weird

I can just imagine what my Brown Owl would have had to say about this.

In Boy Scouts this is particularly egregious.The stated intention of the Boy Scout movement is non sectarian. Baden Powell, while Christian, was clear that his vision encompassed all faiths and none. It's the strap line of their faith ethos.If American Scout Leaders allow this that's not scouting.

I imagine it would be relatively easy to think this is a thing in majority Christian countries. In other developed democracies it's not.

Metaphors what are they? I wasn't commenting on your experience.I'm suggesting that this is an American phenomenon.I can't imagine a scenario where this would occur in Cubs, Scouts, Brownies or Girl Guides or any setting in Australia.People would be appalled. Unrelated to figures of speech.

American God botherers are the worst kind of God botherers. You know this doesn't happen in other modern developed democracies right?

I mean it's refreshing that they finally say Jews. The lack of balls in saying Zionist is pathetic.

The fence divides Rafah into an Egyptian side and a Gazan side. It's embarrassing you don't know anything about what you feel so passionate about. Meanwhile, the fence:

Rafah IS the Egyptian border crossing. You're very bad at this.

Of course it won't. Reality is irrelevant to that guys

This is peak tankie. They clearly have no idea of the history of Egypt with Palestinians. The very idea that they thought it was a good idea to approach a heavily fortified border and be welcome. Particularly loving the Islamic Brothers stuff. Literally less than a clue about anything.

Particularly loving that you think the majority of Israelis are from European descent. Facts mean nothing to you.

I particularly love all your comments on your timeline determining who is and isn't a Jew. Any other ethnic minority you feel able to speak for and over or is it just Jews. There's literally no point. Bye

Again a huge fan of invader occupiers but today with added blood lust.

Correct. Unlike Israel where the Joint Arab List is the third largest party in the Knesset. Thanks for pointing that out.

57 Muslim Countries, 120+ Christian countries are not enough for you, one Jewish country is too many. 440 million Muslims in MENA and 9 million Jews. Apparently Muslims are the ones being persecuted and colonized and in danger of eradication. The pretzel logic is amazing

And apparently imposing Arabic and Islam is fine. In living memory Lebanon was a Christian majority country. No problem for you. I'm guessing you also pretend Egyptians are Arabs.

It's so weird that only Israel created from a movement of indigenous return is problematic yet Berbets, Yazidis, Kurds, Egyptian, Levantines etc whose culture and language have been replaced by conquest is for some reason perfectly fine. It's weird you don't recognize the hypocrisy.

Colonialism requires a Metropole. Where's the Jewish Metropole. Colonists impose their language and customs from the Metropole on the colony, you know, like Islam and Arabic. Where do they speak Hebrew? How did the Arab World become the Arab world? The most successful invader occupiers in history.

Nor do you deny Belgium, Latvia, Estonia etc. Not sure what your point is. Yet you reserve your ire for the only country in the Middle East with Muslims, Jews, Christian, Baha'i citizens. And the only country in MENA where the Christian population is growing.

Meanwhile 18M Americans are food insecure. 26M don’t have healthcare….and he’s golfing at $1M/day, gold leafing the Oval Office and spending $400M to upgrade his inappropriate gift jet from a foreign country. The real slogan is “Trump First.”

WTF is wrong with you?

To continue as I have the time: Saudi Arabia bans non Muslims from citizenship. When Gaza was handed over Hamas formally banned Jews from living there. All Jews, living and dead, were forced to leave. A doctrine that continues to this day. There's the death penalty for selling land to Jews

It's weird when people expect randos to Google for them: Google ethnocracies:
Belgium, Latvia, Estonia, Turkey, Malaysia, Rwanda, Japan, etc. Other theorists include others eg Cyprus. If Places where only one religion can hold high govt office are included.

I suspect they don't actually know what ethnostate means. It's the only explanation for such idiocy.

I am enraged and heartbroken in equal measure. Children are dying as I write this due to the abrupt stopping of PEPFAR. The millions who will die are directly a consequence of American elections.

How many Gazan combatants have died? Why do you pretend that Gaza is entirely made up of children and women? Any data on how many shaheeds? It's appalling how you infantilise them and deny them agency and more importantly their glory

Of all the naively idiotic things tankies have done thinking Egypt would respond in any other war this is probably the stupidest. It's almost like they know literally nothing about the region

Asymmetrical warfare what is it? Declaring war on a more powerful military was silly. Partial list of asymmetrical wars:
WWI
WWII
Vietnam
Cold War
Sri Lanka
Iraq
Syria
Ukraine
etc

All Israeli hospitals have Arab Muslim doctors, nurses, pharmacists etc. including up to the Chief Exec. How many Jewish staff are employed in the Palestinian Territories as models of peaceful coexistence?
comment in response to

For decades Israel has treated Palestinians including brain surgery at no cost for Yahyah Sinwar. How many Jews were treated in the 58 hospitals in the West Bank? How many Jews were treated in the 32 hospitals in Gaza before the war?
