Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders lamented that Israel is "becoming a religious fundamentalist country" under Netanyahu.
"Too many people do not understand that the Israel of today is not the Israel of…20 to 30 years ago. It is a right-wing country, increasingly becoming a religious fundamentalist country where you have some of these guys in office believe that God told them they have a right to control the entire area." He is right. I couldn't agree more. 🥹
Sadly, the same thing is happening in the United States as well. MAGA Christian nationalists including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson as well as those right wing evangelical pastors using Trump as their useful fool are attempting to push the country in that direction. 🥲
It's not just Israel and the United States that's doing it. These populist authoritarian leaders these days found religion quite useful. This is also happening in India with Narendra Modi pushing the biggest democracy in the world into becoming a Hindu fundamentalist country at the expense of non-Hindu Indians, most of them Muslims. 🥶
A deja vu of the 1930s and 1940s with a religious twist. Are we also to expect a religious world war? Is this becoming a true Armageddon? I don't want those religious nuts to be ecstatic for the end of the world and jumping for joy expecting their dreamt rapture into the stratosphere becoming a reality. No way Jose. 😱😁 The Dangers of Religious Fundamentalism
