You don’t get an interview with Netanyahu without being a good soldier for them.
They will put up with anything in the name of Israel, absolutely pathetic.
The children spit on you, whilst the adults smile with cold eyes.
They just grew up and learned to smile at you whilst they affix the leash. The children don't learn that kind of loathing spontaneously, they listen to the adults about who is bad and who is good, they just don't learn restraint until later.
That MFer is getting roasted on X over this.
Good.
Antonio, how can you make this post with no irony then immediately jump in to #NotAllJews anyone who points out their disproportionate representation in media, finance, entertainment and Big Tech?
Christians in a foreign, non-christian, country find bigotry from retarded kids. Film at 11.
Tatum is right that they wouldn't be respected much in Islamic countries... but that isn't really saying much.
You go to Dubai in an Armani suit and gold/diamond-studded crucifix and mahogany prayer beads, they're gonna smile and nod and properly practice taqqiyya. They wouldn't respect you or your religion, but they would at least respect your wealth enough to put on a show.
Of course, if you want to get spat upon and screamed at by randoms in the street, you can just go to Chicago, you don't need to go all the way to Isreal.
That's my point here. Tatum is speaking about a bigoted child who's adults apologized because they felt like it made jews look bad.
The rest of the Islamic world will put up with you as a dirty, savage, inferior, pretending to be human as long as you know your place, shut your mouth, and mind your manners. Treating Kufar as inferior doesn't make Muslims look bad, they just know that they want your money and they want more Useful Idiots to come give them money tomorrow.
Dont remind them who actually controls Bethlehem at the moment. It is inconvenient for their narratives.
Huh, I didn't even know it was in the West Bank. I thought it was on the west coast of Israel.
Guess my geographic knowledge needs work.
So if he had spent a week in Egypt, they'd have spit on him at least twice?
Honestly, yeah. Certainly Christian women would be groped going to a store, I wouldn't be surprised if he got spit on going anywhere near anything considered culturally Islamic.
Religious Tolerance is a liberal concept at best, and a recent western folkway at worst.
Honestly, no. I'll be the last one to defend Islam, but this sort of thing simply doesn't happen in Islamic countries. Lots of other problems though. Do you know how many Christians visit Egypt and Turkey, not to mention the native (actually native) Christian population?
Absolutely no one would say: "hey, Egypt treats Christians very well, I only got spat on once during my one week trip". This guy is an absolute tool.
I'm aware of that, and the importance, within Islam, is that the Kufar stay in their designated communities, as a minority, that doesn't make trouble, and doesn't voice complaint when they get abused.
Anti-Christian, and anti-Western, hatred in Turkey is rife. If you're American, you should expect to be spit on, and more likely violently mugged. You may not remember but there was an incident where a mob of radicals attacked and nearly took 3 US Marines hostage who had gone on shore leave. The Navy and State Department put out warnings about that shit, I have no idea why they were taking such a risk of going to such a local-heavy area in Turkey. Egypt is a bit better, and more tolerant of foreign tourists, but that doesn't mean that Muslims don't see you as a kind of dog taking up space in their country.
As for the native Christians, it's seething hatred if they are outside of their local communities, which have been kept purposefully isolated for centuries, lest they upset a Muslim child and get fucking lynched, like what routinely happened to the Sikhs.
If Shilo Hendrix was a Christian in a Muslim country, and she called a Muslim boy a nigger, she and her family wouldn't have survived the night.
I think most middle-class white women would say this word for word.
Two things:
So not just Americans, but American soldiers? Lest you think that I'm saying that "they had it coming", no, but surely you can understand that reasons for hating American soldiers are very different from "Christians".
Not a phrase I ever expected to hear in any context.
We're talking about concrete actions. If Americans supposed Christians visiting Egypt get spit on, on a regular basis, I certainly haven't heard about it. Yet this absolute tool says that it's such a great trip because they only got spit on ONCE.
Happens unfortunately.
They might, except for the fact that they won't get spit on. You citing this absurd demographic, I think, means that you realize how stupid the tool's comment was.
I'll grant you that Anti-Americanism and Anti-Christianity are different, but in a lot of these countries they'll go hand in hand, particularly Islamic ones. It's the idea of a Christian Imperium attempting to destroy the Muslim world with the help of the jews.
I hear about Americans visiting countries outside of designated tourist spots and regularly getting harassed, mugged, raped, or kicked the shit out of . I don't know if that's a media consumption problem on your part. I can tell you that most people who regularly travel know that Americans will typically be targeted for their assumed wealth as a tourist, and that in-group preference means that it's a good idea to bribe someone who's threatening you, than it is to try and fight them, because you are likely to get lynched.
Tatum is not saying that it's good the Christians got spit on. He's saying it's good that the child who showed bigotry was corrected and that people apologized. I do think that's fairly uncommon in most of the non-western world.
The middle-class white women will be spit on, but that's the least worst thing that's going to happen to them when traveling to non-western / non-European countries that aren't Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.
