WAR: Let’s Talk Haredi Jews and Jihadi Muslims
When two religious forces meet, and WWIII is triggered because of Trump.
The Israeli issue
When I was in Rome a few months back, I met two Haredi Jews. They are the fundamentalist Jews who believe that the non-existent God gave Israel to them 3000 years ago. Understand that we are not talking about the small bit of land that modern Israel has. We are talking about ancient Judea — what the Romans called Palestine. That land today comprises Jordan, the West Bank, and modern Israel.
The two Jews I met were beyond stupid. They had been indoctrinated to a degree verging on insanity. They honestly believed that the messiah would shortly be returning, and when he did, he would do away with all the Christians (and everybody else). They also gave me a business card with the picture of a rabbi, and they told me that if I wanted something, all I had to do was look at the picture of this rabbi, and it would be given to me.
These people are the people who attack people in the West Bank. They want the land because they see it as Judea and Samaria. It is not a good situation, and it aggravates a far more serious situation.
