Tadgh Hickey, an Irish activist and satirical writer, said the Trump administration is "weaponizing Christianity" to justify its actions in the Middle East, while Israel continues to act with impunity because Western nations largely turn a blind eye.
Hickey noted ironically that Trump and other officials in his administration have cited biblical references in public statements about a potential war with Iran, even though their actions are "increasingly distant from Christ's teachings."
"I find it truly shocking to weaponize Christianity like this. The idea of using Jesus as a war tool for these people is utterly vulgar—there is no connection between their values or actions and Christianity whatsoever," Hickey said.
Hickey described how Israel has acted with complete recklessness in Gaza and elsewhere, attempting to "escape punishment as much as possible" during Trump’s presidency, confident that there will be no resistance from Washington or the broader Western world.
