Incredibly, Christian/conservatives reject testimony from these credible witnesses and accuse them of crafting an elaborate and bizarre falsehood.
If Israel is so intent on sharing the whole truth, and has no need of a “biased” international investigation, why did it sabotage the flotilla passengers’ communication with the outside world before, during, and for days after the raid? Why did Israel seize their cameras, computers, and notebooks? Why does Israel insist that in its investigation IDF forces involved in the raid will not be questioned? Clearly, Israel wants no contrary voices as it propagandizes the world – including 70 million gullible evangelicals and their media who are eager (in fact, theologically duty-bound) to believe Israel.
Tea Party Leaders Believe Israel
For the past six months, e-alerts from the National Prayer Network have been educating over 500 Tea Party chapters in America. Yet after my article "Is Israel Exempt from International Law?" a torrent of protest came back. Readers shouted the same thing: “Pro-terrorist flotilla members are involved in an elaborate scam to make Israel look bad. Only Israel can be trusted!”
TVNL Comment: The first sentence starts by saying "Incredibly, Christian/conservatives reject testimony from these credible witnesses" where it should replace the word "incredibly" with "typically!" Christians, as are most religious people, are conditioned to believe certain people rather than evidence. They are conditioned to believe rather unbelievable things as long as they are told to them by trusted individuals. This is called "faith." This is why religion is used and promoted by powerful political figures as it serves as a programming tool to break down the individual's critical thinking process. Once this is done they need not prove any claims that they make for their very claims are enough for the "flock" of mindless sheep of blind trusting supporters.
