https://xcancel.com/QudsNen/status/2100969247006408998 “We are not like everyone else, and that is why the laws that apply to everyone else do not apply to us” Hanoch Milwidsky, a Likud member of Israel’s Knesset, openly argued that Israel is not bound by the same laws as other nations, invoking a supposed divine calling and Jewish “distinctiveness” to justify exceptional treatment. He dismissed the considerations of international diplomats and called for Israel to remain guided by its religious “sources” rather than what he described as “foreign things.”

    I am so sick of religious people believing that they are chosen by God, and therefore allowed to do any evil nonsense that they want. It’s not just the Jews, it’s Christians and Muslims, too. Everybody thinks they are God’s favorite people, and all the rest need to die.

    The world sucks because we have been far too polite, for far too long, to weirdos and their religious delusions. We should be managing our governments with the best intentions toward our citizens and the world, and we shouldn’t have to worry, and adjust our plans, just because some delusional weirdos might take offense.

    The answer is No, you can’t have what you demand, just because God loves you more than anyone else.

    Not dangerous at all, not deserving of an international arrest warrant or designation as a terrorist group. Move along

    “I’m not an extremist. My calling to exterminate a whole other people to serve my people’s interests are different from the others’. Mine comes from my god. You see? How that’s different? See now? Anyway…”

    People who refer to themselves as ‘the chosen’ don’t think they have to adhere to the rules that apply to everyone else? Shocked! Shocked, I tell ya!
