When Genocide is in Fashion

 

Yes.  The polite company finds genocide fashionable.  It’s all the rage.  A couple of things come to mind due to this evolving social trend.

First, does the polite company think genocide will remain contained 10,000 miles away, in an unknown corner of the world?  If it’s good enough for them, why not us?  The United States government has found genocide a useful and moral tool.  When has any tool available to the United States remained in use only “over there.”

They spy on terrorists over there, only to find soon enough the same tools are used against us over here.  They deploy military men and equipment over there, only to find soon enough that the same equipment is now worn and used by law enforcement over here.  They used color revolutions over there, and in the summer of 2020, they used a color revolution over here.

At least so far, the USG hasn’t dropped a nuclear bomb on a US city…wait.  One way or another there are those in the government who were involved in, or at least have knowledge of who was involved in, nine 11.  So, yeah, kind of.

Second, Christians take a beating over many things in history: the Crusades, the Inquisition, witch-burning, colonialism, etc.  Set aside the exaggerated nature of many of these accusations – in many cases they are either not true or quite minimal when compared to, say, Genghis Khan or Joseph Stalin.

Fifty or one hundred years from now, Christians won’t be able to hide from the support their parents and grandparent gave to genocide.  This genocide is too well documented.  I used to think it was just evangelical Protestants brainwashed by Scofield that were genocide supporters; Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox can’t be this stupid.  Then I read something that said, yes, Roman Catholics can also be so stupid.

From Chuck Baldwin, who has been excellent on this topic of Christian cheerleaders of genocide:

Obviously, there have been diabolical and demented mass killers before, but never have we seen Christian people—almost as a whole—excuse, defend, facilitate and actively support and assist the maniacal, murderous monsters.

The last twelve months have unveiled a racist, bloodthirsty, maniacal Israeli society that looks at people of other races as nonhuman. They are described as animals. The babies born to their mothers are called little snakes. These killers recognize no law but their own—not international law, not Natural law, not moral law, not Biblical law, not even the law of humanity. They kill at will. Defenseless women and children are slaughtered like cattle. They celebrate death and destruction. They are willing to take the world into global nuclear war to achieve their goal of complete ethnic purging of the Palestinian people. They are wholly without conscience.

Yet, in the Christian West, we find abject apathy or even exuberant excitement for this satanic behavior. Our national government protects and defends it. Worse than that: It assists and facilitates this murderous madness by providing money, weapons of mass destruction, satellite surveillance, intelligence, etc., to the Zionist zealots of death.

Make no mistake about it: The United States of America is as culpable in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents in Palestine as are the Israelis. So, too, are those Americans—including Christians—who in their hearts support Israel’s genocide.

What about the Eastern Orthodox?  I have seen nothing of support for genocide in this community.  I will bet, within the Oriental Orthodox Church, the Coptic Church is not supportive.  Likely not the Armenians, as they have recent memory of being genocided back when genocide was not in fashion.

Although such memories, real or exaggerated, haven’t impacted today’s genocideers.
