Then the corporations that benefit from supporting israel would find different politicians to support to enacting the same ends.
Do you think that if Martin Luthor was born in China instead of Germany, there would have been no reformation? If Adam Smith was born in Ancient Egypt, they would have created capitalism and iPhones instead of pyramids?
this is the goofiest argument I've run into yet. without a few thousand years of assholes fighting over the same spit of wasteland you wouldn't have any of this idiotic shit.
No, you absolutely would have; the perspectives and beliefs that are elevated in society aren't selected at random but by what reinforces existing power structures. If it didnt benefit Raytheon, apocalyptic cultists would just be more weirdos on the street, not elected congressmen. The crusades were ultimately about seizing on a weakened Ottoman Empire to conquer nearby lands and reinforce the power of the church within Europe. If they didnt have god as a justification, they would have used a different one.
