HELP me, my Jewish (or ex-Christian-Dominionist?) followers:

WTF is Pence talking about here?

“....Jewish martyrs of the Holocaust who 3 years after walking beneath the shadow of death, rose up from the ashes to resurrect themselves to reclaim a Jewish future.”

What is this language?

Zionist? Christian Dominionist? Other?

#HolocaustMemorialDay

So this is some kind of hybrid Zionist-Dominionist myth-making conflating the Christian story of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead after three days with the establishment of the nation of Israel from the deaths of the Holocaust three years following the end of WWII?

Okay, so I’m being told this is NOT Zionist language, nor is it language used within Judaism at all.

Basically this appears to be some kind of Christian-Dominionist myth-making exploiting the Holocaust.

Reminder: Pence is a dangerous man because of his extremism.

Disgusting.
