I just wrote a book that says that Chuck Schumer's house is on my ancestral homeland, because my deity says so. That makes it Chuck's fault when I drop bombs on it.

Does it have to be written in a book to qualify? I'm pretty sure there are several Native American tribes that might have something to say about this.
I'm sure it has to be written in a book for Chuck Schumer to think it qualifies.

I recently did some wiki digging into the formation of Israel and it legitimately surprised me how illegitimate the country is. They were given land (not a state) and welcomed by Palestinians, then they flipped their shit over time and took everything. They were not oppressed but radicalized over imaginary oppression and used it as a tool to oppress Palestine.
The whole world is complicit or gaslit into buying this garbage. Insane that the two state solution is seen as compromise to Palestinians when it should be considered the only compromise given to Israel.

Just a reminder, no, the torah explicitly says jews have no nation because they offended god. Until god himself comes down and reverses that decision, jews adhering to their religion cannot be members of government for a state owned and controlled by jewish people.
Zionism is antisemitic, and the opposite of the jewish religion.
Indeed, knowing the full context makes it even more ridiculous.
Religious Jews fought back against Zionism during its inception.
It's insane how many people have died because of arguments over who has the best Invisible Friend.
What's even worse is they all have the same invisible friend, it's just their rules that are different. God, Allah, Jehovah, Jah, YHWH, whatever you wanna call him, all the same guy. But somehow all the rules about what you're allowed to do and how you need to worship, those are all in different books written by different people at different periods in history.
I guess monotheistic religions just have in common that everyone believes in their own truth, and instead of accepting the differences, feel the need to go to war over it.
Maybe all those religions need to be banned, and only allow heno- or polytheistic ones. Especially the polytheistic religions seem much more exciting. But of course it is much more difficult to control the common folk with those.
And if I say your book is blasphemy? Jesus, no pun intended, these religious weirdos just can't take the hint that maybe their religious texts are total BS. They truly don't believe in religious freedom.
The worst part, there’s no speaking sense to them. Their views are unimpugnable, as god himself wrought them. No earthly authority can alter their course
It gets pretty damn interesting if you start digging into ancient religions and how they developed. There's much more to how this situation came to be than most people understand, which is largely why no real progress is made in opposition to claims such as theirs.
Fascists are always assholes first. The fascism only serves to rationalize the behaviour.
So if I find an older book that says Israel belongs to me and only me they have to leave and I can turn the Wailing Wall into a sick half pipe?
Well I found an older book that says their copper ingots are of insufficient quality.
Always remember, the Palestinians have been there longer than the Hebrews.
There’s whole sections of the Torah that gleefully recount the Hebrew invasion and destruction of cities.
They make children sing the glories of the Battle of Jericho in Sunday school. A battle that ended with the deaths of everyone in the city.

If this chucklefuck showed up to your door and said that your home is now part of the Jewish state because the Torah said so, I think we know how most people would respond.

Religion is a monstrous evil.
Wow, fuck this guy. I wish I was in a district that could vote against this asshole.
Supporting god damn genocide bcz a fucking book says it's theirs.
Yeah, but the book also says the book is true, so you can't argue with that. It's just logic.
Well, can't argue with that. I guess I support Israel now, the books says I should.
There's an old Yiddish song that comes to mind whenever I read stuff like this, אוי, איר נארישע ציוניסטן
This is from the 2018 AIPAC conference. There's some critical commentary on this page:

Oh look, another day, another reason to blow this asshole out the goddamn airlock. I cannot wait to see someone primary this jerk.
Oh, so they're pulling that. Well, they lost that privilege when God withdrew his support 2,600 years ago, roughly.
Sounds like someone much more interested in other countries instead of the country he is supposed to work for.
Fun fact: The Torah is part of the Moslem faith, being a revelation given to Moses.
But the Torah is fake? The people are real?
