Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That's very interesting - I never thought of it as being anti-semetic, but it makes a bit of sense. As a Christian and from a theological standpoint, I don't see how a bunch of people descended from the ones who rejected Jesus forming a new country which they call "Israel" should be interpreted as being the same as the Biblical Israel. For all they care, they see us as heretics. Why should we see them as different from the likes of Muslims, cultural (but not) christians, atheists, etc. (Also before you think I'm saying we should hate these groups, I'm not, I actually kind of mean the opposite). I believe the temple's destruction in AD 70 and the construction of the Dome on the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque 600 year's later is an intentional thing about the old covenant being gone. I just don't see why "christian zionism" is even a thing when the Bible is interpreted as a whole.
Adi Callai, an Israeli, has a great video about how Zionism has weaponized antisemitism. He goes into the history in reference to Christianity at 29:01
