Well you have to understand that Judaism, particularly in the US, can be fairly described as bifurcated: Into regular or traditional Judaism; and into an evil cult. How did this come about? It’s Israel, as it has grown in malevolence and the world has grown in transparency, the choice has become ever more stark. Decent, workaday humanity; Or support of Israel. Regrettably there’s a proportion of the Jewish community that has fallen into the fouler choice and who now form the evil cult. Now, to be clear, this is not to accuse anyone in this discussion of anything so grave as support for Israel, but rather to alert you to the dangers impressing upon members of the Jewish and Christian evangelist communities of the US. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/turkish-flagged-vessel-attack-what-if-becomes-what-now/540765)._
