Right then, soul eating time it is.
This will be a thread, so please hold all questions until you see "EoT" at the end of the thread.
But first, a lesson in tactics.
I'd already made my decision before I posted the poll. Screenshots were taken and the account was reported and blocked.
What the poll told me was how to proceed with the meal.
...
None of that would have happened if the Palestinians had stopped trying to kill or ethnically cleanse all Jews from the Middle East.
They have been offered peace half a dozen or more times. They have been given land of their own for peace. They gave only rockets, bombs, and knife attacks back.
There is no "segregation" inside of Israel. That only exists in the Palestinian controlled areas, where Jews are not allowed to go.
Israel gets billions from the US in technology trade deals. That money can only be spent in the US. Israel has always repaid those loans.
Israel does not get any military aid from any other nation on the planet and has not since the late 1960's.
I'll wait for the excuse as to why arming the Palestinians so that they can kill more Jews is a good thing. No, I won't wait. There is no fucking excuse for hating Jews so much that you want to arm people who will kill Jews on your behalf.
Israel is not by any definition an "apartheid state".
But both of the Palestinian ruled states are apartheid states where Jews are not allowed to live or buy property simply because they are Jews.
The Palestinians have been trying to kill or drive out all of the Jews in the Holy Land since 1938. They think that it's their right to do so (and they say that often). That's the "freedom" that they demanding. When they fail to kill more Jews they call that abuse.
...
Of course it isn't a "fair fight".
No fight ever is in real life. I'm so sorry your favorite terrorists aren't armed well enough to kill more Jews. You'll just have to suffer in silence, or on another social media platform.
Squirrels don't try to wipe out all tanks, they have better things to do, like store nuts for the Winter.
"...one act of desperation..."
Just this one? They've doing this incessantly since 1938. I can provide a list but it would take about 50 toots to cover it all.
The only thing that stops them is a wall and a lot of guns.
EoT.
ok fine.
You "have Jewish friends in Israel"?
Assuming that you're not making that up, do they know that you're making excuses for them to be butchered?
You're "not picking a team"?
The fuck you aren't.
You think that I "...learned this stuff from being spoonfed in soundbites..."
I've lived it for my entire life. Half of my library is dedicated to Israel's history.
...
Now for the person in that thread who I haven't blocked yet.
"People act like this all started in 1945."
You very obviously haven't read this thread yet, where I gave the year that it started.
@Render: Yikes. They made a kindergarten mistake right off the bat there.
@Render: Ah., that old chestnut. When you counter that argument and demolish it, they nigh invariably fall back on "Well, Israel shouldn't even exist!" Very few educated westerners say that out loud, preferring to say they just want peace, a peaceful solution, and that Israel just won't give it a chance.
They have no no idea of what the Israelis have conceded over time and had to rake back because of, as you said, attacks from those concessions. It's a kind of malignant, willful ignorance.
@Render Not even Quark was greedy enough to sell weapons to both sides.
@Render "Terrorist cells." They done told on themselves.
@Render Yeah I saw that and instablocked.
@Render Yeah, that... individual was (another) insta-block. At least they called it - their argument vs yours really was akin to a squirrel against a tank! ๐
@Render
For all reading this. That is known as receipts. ๐
@Render Thank you, Ren... Will the enablers understand? Probably not. But those capable of learning the history instead of merely the terrorist feeds will be motivated to find out more.
Hamas supporters your backing the wrong horse-
@Render Thank you.โค๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ฑโ๏ธโค๏ธ
@marshalldillon Yes, or we could go all the way back to 1836.
I drew the line at 1938 because prior to that there were still moderate local Arab leaders who were willing to live alongside the Jews.
The Mufti's assassins killed or drove out all of the moderate Arab leaders during the 1920's and by 1938 he was the sole Arab leader.
Prior to 1964 the local Arabs hated the term "Palestinian" as they felt it was a colonizer name bestowed upon them by the British Mandate.
@Render people are showing their true colors. There are 2 sides: theirs and ours.
Those people finding justfication for the atrocities are Terrorism supporters.
@Render ืืืื ืืืื ื ืืืืืื ืืืืืช ืืฉืจืืืื
@Render I saw that. Not a fan.
It was an unprovoked terrorist attack on a religious holiday.
And that they were able to circumvent Israeli intelligence to do it, is very worrisome, imo.
@misslovelymess @Render
They had help.
@EileenKCarpenter Iran? I understand, but still, itโs shocking.
@misslovelymess @Render
The Terrorist Organization Formerly Known as al Qaeda might be re-forming, too. Coordinating multiple attacks is their typical calling card.
@EileenKCarpenter @misslovelymess
The surviving remnants of original al Qaeda reside in Iran. Several of the old al-Q franchises are still operating as free lancers, mostly in Africa.
ISIS was also former al-Q franchise, it too still has some operational elements both in and out of Syria.
It has everything to do with Judaism.
The Hamas charter doesn't mention Zionism. It targets Jews.
If you are going to speak on behalf of the Palestinians at least use their own words.
