A U.S. Air Force general said Thursday the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence ethics are better than adversaries’ because “our society is a Judeo-Christian society.”

    I hate the Judeo-Christian term. Jews and Christians don’t even have the same values. Christians are more about salvation (being saved in the next life) where Jews don’t even really believe in hell. Jews are more about following rituals and traditions as a controlled environment is a safe environment (where Christians think the old traditions have been bunked). Add in the fact that Christians interpreted the old testament so vastly different then Jews, and you’ll see this term is empty.

    Then there is the fact that outside of supporting Israel, American Christians tend to be bigoted towards the Jews.

      The only thing Jews and Christians share in common is being mostly white. That’s as deep as it goes for these people, they don’t know a thing about Israel

          I think the average uneducated American perception of Israel is a bunch of white guys with funny hair and black suits. Most are totally unaware of the details of the Palestine conflict or other nuances

        Sorry for the rant.

        One of the telltale signs of what you are saying is renaming the “most Arab” parts of Palestine as the “Negev.” In the Old Testament the Negev was the semi-arid valley around Beersheba. Everything south of it belonged to the Ishamaleites.

        Now, they renamed half of Palestine to the Negev to hide the fact that the borders of Palestine have nothing to do with the kingdoms of Israel or Judah and hiding the fact that modern day Palestine had native populations of Amorites, Phoenicians, Israelites, Judahites, Philistines, and Arabs even in “Israel’s heyday.”
