Israel-Hamas war an example of religion gone bad

The Israel/Hamas situation is a perfect example of how losing touch with our religious and political traditions makes all of us sniveling idiots. Religion gone bad is the reason Jews and Muslims are at each other’s throats today, and the reason why American Christianity is complicit with all the inhumanity.

Israel’s lop-sided military holocaust in Gaza is a flowering public relations disaster for democracy, Israel, Joe Biden, American Jewry, the American war industry, monopolist media companies, religion, the Republican party, you name it.

This is a nation that no longer pays attention to truth, morality, science, or decent leaders. We are a society where the ultra-rich and the politically ambitious just commandeer the truth, judges, Congresspersons, elections, lawyers, armies, newspapers, the souls of ignorant Americans and the silence of sexual assault victims.
