Indecent, Cynical, and Soulless: The Christian Critique of John and Israel

The article discusses criticism of Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša and Israel by Christian figures, particularly focusing on their stance during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Asistant Blaž Podobnik from the Faculty of Humanities criticizes the behavior of Slovenian 'Christian' politics towards the war in Palestine, calling it disrespectful, cynical, and callous. He argues that the collaboration with the state accused of genocide and the relocation of the embassy to Jerusalem during a time when Israel relativizes international humanitarian law is problematic. The article also quotes Janša denying that the US and Israel's attack on Iran violates international law, dismissing it as nonsense. It highlights a broader critique of national over international law and questions the alignment of European interests with Israel and the US.
