    @Steele the First

    I suppose now might be a good time to remind you that the original Zionists were American evangelical Christians. They called their movement Reconstructionism originally, and its goal was to reconstruct the Holy Land in the Middle East to provide conditions for the Second Coming of God to the Earth as provided in Revelations. They were, in fact, the same evangelical Christians who ten years prior, were the driving force for the Abolitionist movement. They created the name Zionism as well, and pre-dated any Jewish drive for a state of Israel by decades.

    So you see, Steele, it's really a Zionist plot to have the world taken over by Christians, who have this desire to run our Congress, our banks, and our foreign policy. It's a religion of hatred, you see, founded by a guy who called himself the Prince of Peace as a diversionary disinformation campaign to hide his true goals.
