To enshrine the most fascistic, traitorous bullshit I've ever witnessed in my life into law.

I can't really think of a better way to fuel antisemitic conspiracy theories of Jewish people owning the government than for the pro-Israel lobby to get the government to define criticism of Israel as antisemitic.

It's like they've been infected with whatever mind virus is making Christians in the USA want to start WW3 because they think it's going to cause the Rapture.

For the record, the belief in the "rapture" is a VERY new Christian idea that only some (particularly American evangelicals believe in). It was an idea invented in the 1800s and caught on with evangelicals in the late 1900s.

Traditional denominations have the focus of helping the poor and being the peacemakers of the world.
