How Would the Bible Tell the Story of Netanyahu and the Gaza War?
Netanyahu is truly a transgressor of biblical proportions.
He is the one who has unleashed the greatest apocalypse of recent memory upon a people,
wreaking the largest bloodbath in the history of Israel.
He literally swims in the blood of the innocent, and, the very embodiment of sacrilege: in the blood of children.
In the Bible, he can only be compared to Manasseh, King of Judah, by far the most evil king ever.
And as we know, the Bible holds Manasseh directly responsible for the later downfall of Judah and the exile of the Jews. And so Netanyahu must bear responsibility for the downfall of Israel.
Only that, unlike Manasseh, Netanyahu will never repent.
His wife Sara, by the way, would be none other than Jezebel herself—only Jewish. And then there is Gaza, for which the Bible offers no precedent, for never has a city nor a region mostly innocent ever been leveled to the ground .
Such a thing does not exist in the Bible.
SELF: Jericho, Sodom and Gomorrah were levelled to the ground
God would say Remember the Commadments I gave you? What about the land and animals I told you to look after? You have turned your land into a,Sodom and Gommorrah. A land of evil not as my Son taught you at all. Oh yes, Christ's teachings too was part of the Bible. He would say, what have you done to my people and land of Bethlehem and the Holy Land? You have made it into a murderous den of thieves just like when my son overthrew the money changing tables when you defiled my temple, you have learned nothing.
It's not a war, it's a genocide. And who cares now the Bible would characterize it? Get your heads out of your fantastical myths and narratives. Look to the tangible here and now. Netanyahu is a war criminal, leading a genocide against an unarmed population of predominantly children. A genocide against the native people of the land israelis are actively stealing. A genocide that most Israelis have supported or participated in, either directly or indirectly. This is one of the single greatest atrocities. Israel, along with the Western ruling class that arms and funds it, are worse than Nazis.
In today's world, facts matter. On the whole, the Hebrew Bible is hardly factual. Its authors used invention or distortion to suit ulterior motives. Speculating on how the Bible would portray October 7 and the subsequent genocide in Gaza is a bizarre and fruitless endeavor
And how Israelis narrowly interpreted NEVER AGAIN not as preventing genocide but as legitimating it.
