Bring Back the Christians: A Modest Proposal for the Holy Land
from Degree Of Difficulty | The Tim Dillon Show #365 · #365
6 min
Tim jokes that everyone in the region is irredeemable and proposes handing the Holy Land over to middle-American Christians like his aunt and uncle, who would turn it into a tacky but harmless tourist attraction, before noting the absurdity of a Chobani ad playing amid war coverage.
- Israel's pounding Gaza to take out Hamas leadership, but there will be civilian casualties, including children.
- Tim argues both Israelis and Palestinians have dehumanized each other, and he includes himself in that dismissal as a white Christian man.
- Proposal: bring back Christians to the Holy Land and get everyone else out, replacing current residents with middle American Christians who'll just commercialize it like Orlando.
- Tim considered taking a trip to Israel and Gaza next summer but won't go now, potentially cosplaying as a blind sheik.
- Palestinian children would love Tim's aunt and uncle, who'd walk around Gaza Strip with pretzels like feeding a petting zoo.
- Tim's fed up with everybody but angrier at Hamas now for acting crazy, arguing it's time for Christians and the Vatican to get involved.
- The absurdity of watching people get bombed on screen followed immediately by cheerful yogurt commercials like Chobani Flips.
- People who don't even know the Middle East conflict is happening are the truly crazy ones.
