How could anyone that’s not an Israelite be for Israel? The Bible is a book of propaganda for Israelites.

In light of the recent happenings, anyone who reads their Bible with the slightest of criticality will find the Israelites an evil group of people, supposedly lead by a blood thirsty, war mongering jealous god. Let’s do a quick walk through.

Starting in Genesis, supposedly, a god told Abraham that a particular piece of land belongs to him and his descendants, even when this land is occupied by people. For zero reason, this god favored Abraham and his descendants. The following books Joshua, Judges, put in detail the absolute atrocities the Israelites carried out upon the inhabitants of the so called promised land. They killed the men, the women, the children, even the cattle at times, all because a certain god told them the land belongs to them, and it was gods righteous will to slaughter the people.

The Israelites are a group of ruthless killers, and this is all detailed in their book, the Bible. But usually what is focused on, the billions of Christians out there, is the New Testament. Which is probably the worst piece of propaganda of all, which basically tells you your spoils are in heaven, so forgive and forget what people do to you in this reality, because god will avenge you.

Now how do people come to this conclusion? The god of Israel YHWH, from the very beginning has always been about just his people, he couldn’t care less about anyone that was NOT an Israelite. Even Jesus himself says that he has come to rescue only the loss sheep of Israel, Matthew 15:21-26, referring to anyone not an Israelite as dogs.

Now fast forward to today, Israel is practically untouchable, unquestionable, in the things that they do.

Full disclosure, I am not completely informed of the beef between Israel and Hamas, but I would be willing to bet it’s the same old story, of Israel’s forcibly taking peoples land all because of it being righteously cosigned by their god.

Tell me where I am wrong in this. Genuinely.

Callisto was a nymph in the retinue of the goddess Artemis, or in some sources the daughter of King Lycaon. As she would not be with anyone but Artemis, Zeus cunningly disguised himself as Artemis and raped Callisto. The child resulting from their union was called Arcas.[9][10][11]

Hera became jealous, and in anger, she transformed Callisto into a bear. She would have done the same or worse to her son, but Zeus hid Arcas in an area of Greece, which would come to be called Arcadia, in his honor. Arcas was given into a care of one of the Pleiades, Maia.[12] There, Arcas safely lived until one day, during one of the court feasts held by king Lycaon (Arcas' maternal grandfather), Arcas was placed upon the burning altar as a sacrifice to the gods. He then said to Zeus, "If you think that you are so clever, make your son whole and un-harmed". Zeus became enraged and made Arcas whole and directed his anger toward Lycaon, turning him into the first werewolf.
before Egypt/Israel...the ionians they worshipped "Dog Zeus"

Your eisegesis of Matthew is not only wrong, but false. Here's why.....

Matthew 15:27-28

27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Ol' girl was a Canaanite, not an Israelite. According to you, YHWH was ONLY concerned with his 'chosen' people (Israelites) so why answer a 'foreigner's ' request?

You can't read the text accurately by using eisegesis & cherry-picking.​

There was no cherry picking...because she is not an Israelite, in Jesus' eyes she is viewed as a dog. Because the woman fell into the degrading position, referring to herself as a dog, Jesus was like here, be blessed. Now tell me, how could that possibly be good for anyone that's not an Israelite? You have to depart from dignity in order to be saved? And also, are you calling Jesus a liar? He himself said he only came for the lost sheep of Israel.

You stopped at verse 26 and there were 2 more verses afterwards you completely omitted from that story which render your interpretation completely false since her request was granted and, by your own words, she was not an Israelite.​

I don't even know why I bother. Forget it breh.
Hey, man. You tried, but the text wasn't written for people 2,000 years after the fact. That's why most don't get it and resort to eisegesis. You can't accurately interpret the text outside of it's proper historical/socio-political/theological context.​

Now how do people come to this conclusion? The god of Israel YHWH, from the very beginning has always been about just his people, he couldn’t care less about anyone that was NOT an Israelite.

The whole book of Jonah is about Jonah being upset that God is mindful of other nations (in this case, the Assyrians). The Assyrians were, at the time, the mortal enemies of the Hebrews. Jonah saw it as a betrayal because God was "their" God and should not have been concerned with them.

Jonah 1:1
1 The word of the Lord came to Jonah son of Amittai: 2 “Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.”

Jonah 3:6

6 When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. 7 This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:

“By the decree of the king and his nobles:
Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. 8 But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. 9 Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”
10 When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.

Jonah 4:11

11 And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?”

Jonah is only four chapters. A quick read. Will take you less that 7 minutes to finish. You should take a look.

Moral of the story, Jonah allowed his Hebrew identity to be a stumbling block in doing the will of God which is to see all men saved.

This is why Christ was taken to the Gentiles. If the Jews would have accepted him, they would have kept the Messiah for themselves instead of going out to proclaim the good news to the nations.

A damning indictment on how we allow "identities" whether racial, ethnic, gender, or sexuality, get in the way of our relationship with God and fellow humanity.
