Pete Hegseth is a blatant anti-semite. He's screaming it.

ROSEN: 'Pharisees' is a problematic and historically weaponized term that casts Jewish communities as morally corrupt. You said it today. Words matter. How do you justify using this language?

HEGSETH: It's a pretty accurate term for folks who don't see the plank in their own eye. I stand by it.

giving license for a full-throated attack on Iran and a potential WWIII initiation in the ME, or whatever horrific event results in his predicted "End Times"--one that Jews play a critical part, but are largely exterminated unless they convert at the last minute. The first time I hear this viewpoint of this supposed biblical prophesy of the "End Times" and the "Rapture", I was beyond repulsed.

I always felt sickened that so many on the RW were given kudos for their "support" of Israel and Jews, given this horrifically devious viewpoint and unbelievably self-serving justification for doing so.

Honestly? This episode of "Six Feet Under" (all started with a vignette introducing the "theme" of the death) was my favorite. I will never forget it and the creative writer who got it on the air! Watch it. It is short enough:




But those truly supporting Jews and Israel (not Netanyahu) that think the Republican party and RW "Christianity" is truly on your side are beyond deluded.
