    So Johnson didn’t invite Kenya’s president to speak in Congress, even as Kenya is leading an international mission to try to bring stability to Haiti which should do more to solve what the Republicans see as a border crisis than the Republicans ever did, but he’s inviting Netanyahu. Morals aside, is he trying to torpedo what’s left of the US’s international influence?

      Yes. But also the GOP has noticed the democrats are split over Israel. So they’re trying to throw gas on that divide before the election.

          Not to well-actually you, but there’s no archeological evidence to suggest the entire flight-from-Egypt thing actually happened.

          Israelites, as a whole, were never enslaved by Egypt and never wandering through the desert. There probably were refugees absorbed that came up from Egypt, which creates the stories that then became part of the collective psyche, but it was a relative handful.
