# Public statements by Israeli leaders, and reports of biblical rhetoric inside…

Public statements by Israeli leaders, and reports of biblical rhetoric inside the U.S. military, show how this war is being wrapped in religious language. When states frame bombing campaigns through theology, prophecy, or sacred enemies, they move away from secular democratic accountability and toward a dangerous fusion of militarism, religion, and political power.
