the evangelicals have a very 1:36:03 interesting position on Jews and on Israel. They're the most extreme anti-semites in human history. Their 1:36:12 theology, if you look at it, is that uh it's not 100% of evangelicals, but a 1:36:18 leading part of it uh there's got to we got to look for Armageddon.Not even Hitler comdemned the Jews to Hell. Some evangelical Christians do, making them more anti-semitic than Hitler.1:36:23 Yeah. the then the second coming Christ comes. What happens when Christ comes back? 1:36:30 Those who are saved go to heaven. Everybody else goes to eternal 1:36:36 predition. Mhm. What happens to the Jews? Yeah. Actuallyund according to one of the 1:36:43 denominations 160,000 can convert in time. The rest go to eternal predition. 1:36:50 Yeah. Did Hitler call for that? No.
I am not sure this is true. I thought most evangelical Christian Israel-supporters believe that Jews have their own deal with God, and therefore not judged so harshly.
Even if he is right, it is bizarre to hear an atheist professor, of Jewish descent I think, complain about some religious after-life belief. If every religion condemned non-believer to Hell in the after-life, why would Chomsky care?
I post this as an example of alleged anti-semitism. It reminds me of Tucker Carlson being called an anti-semite and enemy of the Jews for saying that Christian Zionism is a heresy.
People are entitled to their religious views, which always include negative beliefs about rival religions.
Update: Chomsky is in the news from disclosures of Jeffrey Epstein emails. They were friends, and discussed many matters such as Israel and finance. There is no implication of sexual misbehavior, but everyone with any association with Epstein is being blamed.
