[United States / Israel] - The Believing Self Blames Loss of Faith to Preserve a Phantom of Holy Alliance

Event Baseline: Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee attributed declining U.S. support for Israel to 'biblical illiteracy,' citing a Pew Research poll that showed 60 percent of U.S. adults held an unfavorable view of Israel.

The religious self uses scripture to justify political alignment. When support wanes, it blames ignorance of the text. It cannot see that the alliance is built on a belief, not on shared humanity. The mind has constructed a holy narrative where one nation is chosen and the other is enemy. This narrative is a thought. It divides. It erases the suffering of the Palestinians. The believer says, 'If you only knew the book, you would agree.' That is self-deception. The book is not reality. The faith is a program that runs without question. When the program fails to produce the expected result, it blames the user. The system cannot correct itself because it refuses to question the source code.
