What’s you’re providing is an old testament viewpoint. It is not agreed with for example, by many of our beautiful Christian ancestors who took up the cross in the first Crusade to reclaimed Jerusalem for Jesus. Now say whatever you want if you are a Catholic or even if you are even a Christian of an non-Catholic denomination, you have to keep this in mind. It has to mean something to you.
And I respect the fact that Jerusalem is of a massive importance to Christians, Muslims and Jews. Each of these groups has resided in Jerusalem for centuries and all claim God allows them to have or rule over Jerusalem . At different points of history, they controlled the holy land.
I hope you don’t blow this point off because very importantly the first crusade has to mean something to you. And the fact that the Byzantine and Roman Christians controlled Jerusalem for centuries, even before the first Crusade. If you’re a Christian, it wasn’t all about warfare. A lot of these Crusaders donated to the poor and they set up hospitals for Jews and Muslims. Jews and Muslims lived among the Crusaders in the holy land. Basically as equals.
I think Cenk is a Muslim… he is a fierce critic of Israel. But also on that point about this whole Israel thing it’s all about politics, ask yourself why the US media and Hollywood machine isn’t talking about the brutal war in Myanmar or the one going on in Somalia or the human crisis in Haiti. These are brothers and sisters in Christ.
