Zone1 Propaganda: Politics Disguised As Religion

[PoliticalChic]

Netflix film "Mary" used by Democrat Islamists for an unusual angle of anti-Semitism.


1. "Outcry Against Casting an Israeli Jew to Play Mary in Netflix Film
Palestinian propogandists are determined to rewrite history and prove that the Jewish people have no right to their ancestral homeland. They claim that that Jesus – born as a Jew in the territory called Judea – is actually a “Palestinian, the son of Palestinians.”

Their goal: craft an anti-Israel narrative in the media and in the minds of unsuspecting social justice activists."

2. "Mary—the Holy Virgin, the Theotokos, the Mother of God—was a Jew. Only a fool or an antisemite could deny this. You can doubt the theological claims made for her role in the drama of salvation, of course, but that she was a daughter of Israel? Don’t be absurd. “Salvation comes from the Jews,” said her son, Jesus of Nazareth, to the Samaritan woman (John 4:22). Well, he would know, wouldn’t he?


3. “First Netflix taking all Palestinian content down and now they stream a movie about Mary with an all Israeli cast whilst those same people are bombing the birthplace of Christ? Boycott that shit,” said a Muslim woman in an X post. She added video commentary noting that the choice to film the movie in Morocco and not in Bethlehem—the actual birthplace of Christ—was “diabolical.”

4. The filmmakers could have shot in Bethlehem had the Palestinian Authority, which controls the town, given their permission. Then again, Israeli citizens like Noa Cohen, who plays Mary, are not allowed into Bethlehem.

5. The backlash to the new Netflix film is about something much deeper: the attempt to de-Judaize Christianity."

6. "Were it not for the Gospels, written in the first century, the world would know nothing of Mary. The second-century, noncanonical Gospel of James says that she was the daughter of Joachim and Anna, who, like Abraham and Sarah before them, were barren into old age, when God miraculously granted them a child who would play a central role in the unfolding of the divine plan.

Joachim and Anna are revered as saints in Catholicism and Orthodoxy, and by some Protestant traditions. Yet every Christian knows from the Bible that Mary was a Jewish maiden visited by the Archangel Gabriel, who told her that, though a virgin, she would conceive by the Holy Spirit and bear Israel’s long-awaited messiah.

“Behold, the handmaid of the Lord,” she replied. “Be it done unto me according to thy word.” (Luke 1:38)"

7. "The Gospel of Matthew begins with a recitation of the long lineage of Jesus, to demonstrate that the Nazarene son of Mary descended from both Abraham and King David. This is not coincidence: It is necessary to establish Jesus’s messianic credentials according to the Hebrew Bible.

... it is impossible to extricate Jesus and his mother from Judaism. Indeed, from a Christian perspective, the great tragedy of the life of Jesus is that he came first of all to redeem the Jewish people (“He came to his own, but his own did not receive him,” John 1:11), and through them, all the world."

8. "This egregious form of cultural appropriation ignores the basic facts of history: The Holy Land was not called “Palestine” until more than a century after Jesus’ lifetime, and Islam itself only came into existence six centuries later. As such, Jesus could never have been “Palestinian.”

These historical fabrications are part of a global campaign to “de-Zionize the Bible” – i.e. undermine Jewish indigenous rights and sever any Jewish connection to their ancestral homeland."

Only follows...We have religion flimsily disguised as politics.

There are two religions in conflict.

That of the Founders, the Judeo-Christian faith.
The Bible is its foundation.


And that of Democrats, Liberals, Communists, Nazis, Fascists.....Militant Secularism. Lacking self-awareness, the Democrats, Liberals, Progressives ridicule religion as superstition......but kneel to their false religion, Militant Secularism.
From the Amazon review of Godless, by Coulter…


Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).

Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.



Here we can watch their religious service:

2. "Mary—the Holy Virgin,

Do you actually believe that Mary was a virgin?
I think that her and Jo had what they thought was safe sex, and it wasn't. That could have caused them to be fooled into thinking their baby was a miracle.

Modern science has shown that much of what was considered to be safe sex, isn't. How can I say this without being offensive?

Jo probably got his finger into the pie, when his hands were unclean, so to speak, after manually trying to get himself up, so to speak.

Of course, the aim is to put a wedge between the support that American Christians have for Israel, that tiny nation.

"This “persecution” narrative perverts actual reality. Far from practicing anti-Christian policies, Israel is a vanguard of religious freedom for Christians. Israel is the only country in the Middle East where the Christian population is growing – rising five-fold since 1948 – and continuing to rise every year. (Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics)"

I have been to Bethlehem (Hebrew for 'house of bread') and to the church that claims to be the birthplace of Christ.


"Palestinian Christians suffer in other ways from the actions of the Islamic majority. It is little known by American Christians that Bethlehem was over 80 percent Christian until the Oslo Accords, which awarded control of the town to the Palestinian Authority in 1995. Today only 12 percent of the town’s population is Christian."

What if I tell you that a religious organization’s insistence that once upon a time there was a human being named Mary who was the Holy Virgin, the Theotokos, the Mother of God, and that means absolutely nothing to a rational theist who wants to preserve western liberal democracy from some of those religious organizations that are aiding and abetting the destruction of western liberal democracy as we speak.
