You’re free to travel to Israel and ISIS controlled parts of Syria and find out :)

North Korea is also welcoming to tourists. That doesn’t make it a nice place.

Eyekaytee@aussie.zone on 20 Apr 05:46 collapse

Tourism in North Korea is tightly controlled by the North Korean government. All tourism is organized by several state-owned tourism bureaus

Interactions between foreign tourists and local people have historically been tightly controlled.[25]

In 2024, talking to North Koreans without authorisation is considered spying (and punished as such).[24][26][c]

Visitors are not allowed to shop elsewhere than at stores designated for foreigners.[24]

SO friendly to tourists, Lemmy.ml users voted it no.1 best tourism spot

btw you didn’t say anything regarding ISIS controlled territory, what is their tourism policy like? free beheading on arrival?

Indeed, admittedly Westerners are free to visit Israel as they see fit and get spat on and kicked by the Orthodox Judaists as much as they want, in excess even.

Lots of people aren’t free to travel to Israel, millions of them in fact. You sure they will have a “good” experience when they try?

Unlike Israelis, I’ve actually lived in a Muslim country, and I was perfectly fine. The only time I saw firearms was when I was at the airport arriving/leaving the country, when I ran into a Bedouin whilst in the desert, and when I saw a member of the royal family travelling and his guards had firearms.

I had zero issues living in a Muslim country for 2 years! Now, tell me. Do Christians and Muslims get treated fairly in Israel?

USA does drop their partners whenever convenient. The Kurdish in Iran didn’t fight when Trump asked them for exactly that reason. Israel does have a really long streak going compared to most.

It’s a good picture. Sure they’ve been destroying Christian churches, some of the first Christian churches ever, for decades now, but a good picture is what really sells things.

Unfortunately much of Trump’s base cares more about their religious idols than they do about people, so this kind of news might actually make a difference for once.

And American Christian/Nationalist evangelicals do not give one single fuck because their death cult demands that Israel be where its is and be doing what it is doing to bring about the return of Jesus so the righteous can rise into heavens and God’s kingdom on Earth reign for 1000 years or some bullshit to that effect. But never mind that in the Bible it clearly states that this can not be forced and will only happen on God’s time schedule.

ProfThadBach@lemmy.world on 20 Apr 09:52 collapse

I have tried all my life. When you point out how it is morally wrong or that their position is against the teachings of the very Bible they claim as infallible they either look at you like you are alien or they drag their illiterate preacher over to you to help bring you back to God’s path. I was raised Southern Baptist.

ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net on 20 Apr 17:05 next collapse

I think that like in typical sect, early Christians believed the end of times is a matter of years. They were basically told “join our sect because the world is about to end and this is the only way to be saved”. The message was that world will end before last of the disciples dies. Then it changed into “before everyone who was alive when Christ lived will die” which was more vague so the timeline wasn’t as clear. Then it changed into “no one really knows when it will happen”. Modern sects use the exact same trick.

kent_eh@lemmy.ca on 20 Apr 17:25 next collapse

Then it changed into “no one really knows when it will happen”.

Meanwhile grifters have been predicting the exact date and time (and making money off those predictions) for centuries.

ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net on 20 Apr 17:33 collapse

As I said, they keep using the same trick. “Now the world is REALLY about to end. Quick! Join my sect!”. Jehovah’s Witnesses predicted the end of times multiple times. They claimed that only 144,000 people can go to heaven because at the beginning it looked like a number of members they will never achieve. Once they had 144,000 they had to invent some other story about second class in heaven with more places or something.

They claimed 144,000 because that’s the number of “true believers” described in the Bible in Revelation who are rewarded with Heaven.

Jesus told His apostles that they would be alive to see His triumphant return.

They all died, confused and bewildered.

(or perhaps they are still walking the earth to this very day, revenant Highlander apostles are always a possibility)

“The IDF views the incident with great severity and emphasizes that the soldier’s conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops.”

So smashing the head of a statue of a Palestinian man is bad, but smashing the heads of real Palestinian people is a-ok?
