Oh, they're not your tax dollars, right?

The United States gives so much money to Israel that

Its basic needs are met, and so it can use the surplus on incredibly generous social programs we don't have here, and it can use some of it to provide abortion for anyone who wants one.

But it can also spend a great deal of money promoting a pride parade, which they are now doing.

Now, from a Christian perspective, pride is, of course, the first of the seven deadly sins.

You're not allowed to have pride in Christianity.

Again, it's number one on the sin list.

But the government of Israel is promoting the largest pride event, they claim, in the history of the region this June in the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, very close to, by the way, Sodom and Gomorrah, weirdly.

You wonder what Mike Huckabee, the Baptist preacher turned U.S.

ambassador to Israel, has to say about this?

Nothing.

You wonder what Mike Johnson, the Christian speaker of the house, has to say about this?

You can imagine that this event, whether you're for it or not, probably won't be consistent with Christian values or even Judeo-Christian values, whatever those are.

Here are last pride parades.

Is that consistent with your values?

Are you going to go to the pride parade?

Look, countries are complicated.

Not everything that happens in a country you're going to support, even if you love the country, of course.

But the PR effort that evangelicals

leaders in the United States have made on behalf of Israel is so over the top, so totally uncompromising in its positive spin.
