Mildly Infuriating

Absolutely zero chance this person recognizes Trump blew up the nuclear deal with Iran, simply because it was signed under Obama. Some of us are cursed with remembering the past.

Didn't hate Jews, hate the government of Israel.

I honestly wonder what the Christian circle would do if Israel gets wiped out and there is no rapture, Armageddon, or tribulation.

Would they finally admit they're wrong then, or will it have morphed by then?

This is the kind of thing I would look up if I could just open the book of time and look at the pages past this. Fuuuuuck the lottery numbers, I wanna watch some post and future events, or different timelines.

That's honestly what I wish afterlife was

We die and wake up, but can travel through time at will, then that version of us dies and becomes 5th dimensional, etc.

I didn't actually believe this of course, but I wish it was true.

"Declared independence"?

It’s incredible to hear them bleating about Israel being wiped off the map while they are doing EXACTLY that to Gaza. I swear… Israel has become the very thing they thought they were created to resist.

This often happens. People do the thing they are afraid will be done to them. They convince themselves that others will do it if they don’t, that it’s just the unfortunate rules of the game. And the next thing you know they have transformed from defender to aggressor. And so it continues.

Genocide is not self-defense.

Instead, Israel wants to wipe Gaza off the map. But that is something entirely different.

But "wiping something off the map" already is a metaphor.
If you literally "wipe something off a map" it would mean that you walk up to a map, take out a piece of cloth or similar wiping implement, and wipe the map until whatever you want to "wipe off" is no longer recognizable.

Which I guess is bad in terms that you've just damaged a piece of navigational equipment, not nothing really happened aside from that

Maps are a social construct. Let's cross Israel off the map and write Palestine there instead. A Palestine where Jews, Muslims, Arabs, and people of every race and religion can live together in peace as equals.

At this point in history, I am 100% fine with Israel being "wiped off the map". They have abdicated all moral authority and their right to exist.

I assume the highlighted region is meant to call out the fact that they’re claiming a metaphorical expression isn’t being used metaphorically.

Yes, that’s incredibly stupid, and yes the entire letter is pro-hate propaganda.

However, I think it’s important to also call out something else about the phrase “wiped of the map”…

It’s an English language idiomatic expression.

Idiomatic expressions are language specific.

When you see a quote attributed to someone speaking Farsi, and it includes English idiomatic expressions, you can be fairly certain the translation is complete bullshit, and whoever created the translation is trying to manipulate you.
