Terwijl de "Palestijnen" blijven beweren dat de Joden hen in 1948 uit Palestina hebben verdreven, bewijst dit document precies het tegenovergestelde. De Joden vroegen de Arabieren NIET te vertrekken, maar de Arabische leiders stonden erop de Arabische bevolking uit Palestina te evacueren. Waarom? Omdat de omliggende Arabische staten van plan waren de nieuwe staat Israël aan te vallen, te vernietigen en vervolgens de vertrokken Arabieren terug te sturen. Lees dit document, geschreven door de Britse districtscommissaris Haifa Dant van Beline Linifa, in april 1948 aandachtig door: "De Joden hebben de Arabieren opgeroepen hun winkels en bedrijven te heropenen om de problemen met het voeden van de Arabische bevolking te verlichten. De evacuatie was gisteren nog steeds aan de gang en er werden verschillende tochten per 'Z'-vaartuig naar Akko gemaakt. Ook de wegen stonden vol met mensen die Haifa met al hun bezittingen verlieten. Tijdens een bijeenkomst gisterenmiddag herhaalden Arabische leiders hun vastberadenheid om de gehele Arabische bevolking te evacueren. Om de evacuatie te ondersteunen, hebben ze vanochtend tien militaire vrachtwagens van 3 ton geleend. Foto: Carl Hermann Voss, The Palestine Problem Today (Boston, 1953) De enige "Nakba" (ramp) van de "Palestijnen" is dat de Arabieren er niet in geslaagd zijn Israël te vernietigen.

When I talk to police officers privately, they almost always say the same thing: "you have no idea what's going on out there in the real world". To which I reply: I think the opposite is true. *You* have no idea what's going on out there, because you have self-selected into a

At the height of US slavery, 78% of slave owners were jewish. Since only 1.6% of the total population owned slaves, and jews made up 3.125% of the population, this means that 40% of jews owned slaves, while only 0.35% of whites owned slaves.

@queenie4rmnola Living wage as characterized in 2025 is very different from “decent” and not just “bare sustenance” in the Great Depression.

False. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed the first federal minimum wage into law in 1938 via the Fair Labor Standards Act, clarified, “By living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of a decent living.”

@queenie4rmnola Minimum wage was never intended to be a living wage.

I’m an immigrant who’s lived and worked in the UK for 16 years. I have a North American accent and I’m white. I’ve never once been told to ‘go back’ to my ‘shithole country’ or to ‘stop stealing jobs from British people’. You’re not concerned about immigration. You’re racist.

@Lady_FanAccount I heard that take but I’ve also heard her and band members say it was their take on the sounds & rhythms of Kraftwerk, early electronica and post-punk, nothing to do with disco. 🤷‍♂️

Heart of Glass was created by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein in 1975 as a slow, reggae song called "Once I Had a Love". The members of Blondie (especially Debbie) were afraid that the "disco" sound would drive punk/new wave fans away from them, but producer Chapman insisted. Result? It became the biggest success of Blondie's career, #1 in the US, the UK and several countries.

You’ve probably heard the story about the Nakba and those “700,000 innocent Palestinians who were expelled.” Well, here’s something interesting. This is a person I’m pretty sure 99% of the useful idiots pro Palestinians have never even heard of. This is Mahmoud Abbas, Chairman of the Palestinian Authority — basically the Palestinian president, if you will. Now listen to what he says here in his own words: he and his family left because the Arab army failed. Nobody expelled them. It was their own decision. Doesn’t exactly fit the narrative, does it?

Bei der Auswertung von 1800 Stunden Videomaterial vom siebten Oktober hat man keine Vergewaltigung entdeckt. Das einzige bekannte Video einer Vergewaltigung stammt bisher also aus einem israelischen Gefängnis. Die Wächter sind nun wieder im Dienst.

Dear fellow Germans, if it were 1930s' and this happened to a Jewish person: would you behave like many of your compatriots at the time, ie do not care and even think that may be right? or, would you do like Hanno and strongly oppose it? NEVER AGAIN IS NOT A TRIBAL SLOGAN.

@DrEliDavid The issue isn’t a moderately graduated rate. It’s that the bottom 35% pay virtually no tax into the kitty.
