In late Ottoman Palestine, Jews & Muslims used to exchange gifts on the last day of Passover this week. Palestinian Muslims gifted their Jewish friends a round copper bowl, laden w/fresh bread, goats’ butter & honey. Jews gifted back the same copper bowl w/matzot & home-made jam. Thanks to Zionism, a majority of Jews in Israel (68%) refuse to live in the same building as a Muslim Palestinian (2006 poll. Today the % is likely much higher) let alone exchange gifts with them. haaretz.com/2006-03-22/ty-… This was a time before Zionism contaminated relations between Palestine's religious communities. storedev.palestine-studies.org/sites/default/…

@QueensForBernie @_ZachFoster Of course I do. Several of my family have lived 94-102 years. So we are not talking about that many generations. My family moved first to Beirut with the whole Hebron community, then moved to Koningsberg until 1850 then Australia.

@beccajiggens @_ZachFoster All of it happened under the time of Ottoman control, with Ottoman law preventing Jews defending themselves, not able to give evidence against Muslims, build higher than Muslims, own horses and had to pay crushing taxes. Any more questions?

@JCKane8 @sharma_views Over 1 million Jews were expelled or fled Muslim countries, now most Muslim countries have zero Jews. Some have a few hundred fo a few thousand. Most Iranian Jews fled Iran in 1979. Those who remained can’t leave.

@sharma_views There are many Jewish people who live in Muslim countries and have no issues. I've spoken to Muslims who have grown up with Jewish people as friends and neighbours. The issue is with Israeli Zionism.

🚨 REPORTER: Are Jews oppressed in Iran? IRANIAN JEW: We have rights, schools, a seat in parliament. We don’t feel like a minority. REPORTER: And Israel? IRANIAN JEW: What they’re doing in Gaza… we oppose it. WORLD FED A FALSE NARRATIVE 💥

@beet_kon You haven’t met many sola scriptura Protestants then. Not unusual to have the Bible memorized, I had it memorized both old and New Testaments from the age of 14. But I lived in a world before the internet and memorizing such things was seen as an edge.

The moment in BEN-HUR where Jesus offers water to Judah, and the way it is echoed and reversed at the film’s end, stands among the most powerful imagery I’ve ever seen.

@LibyaLiberty Only 1% of Palestinians in the West Bank or Gaza are Christian. Less than 50000. 180000 Palestinian Christians live in Israel as citizens of Israel.

Dungeon Crawler Carl writer Matt Dinniman admits he's inserting left wing political propaganda into his books that have now been picked up for a streaming show by Seth MacFarlane: “Yes, Dungeon Crawler Carl is highly political,” Dinniman wrote. “It is a major theme of the books, and frankly, as soon as Operation Bounce House comes out, I suspect it’s going to be even more painfully obvious where I personally stand on a whole bunch of subjects.” Is this some kind of ritual for Hollywood?

@ecto_con @EsotericaThe @fandompulse The world is going to freeze and people die unless something is done by year X, a perfect analogy for climate change. And science shouldn’t be inherently left wing, just that the flat earthers, anti vaxx, climate change deniers etc are almost exclusively on the right.

@SteveSkojec I think he is a fabulous writer. Even James Moriaty consulting criminal- a Sherlock Holmes story is fabulous. His hard sci- fi is less dry than Kim Stanley Robinson, he spins a great yarn and sprinkles in humor. In a world of dystopian, he makes hope and fun a trademark

Andy Weir is one of the most successful novelists of our generation. Both The Martian and Project Hail Mary have gone on to be successful Hollywood films at a time where new stories aren’t getting a lot of play in cinema. PHM is already one of the most successful films of all time. So it fascinates me to see a bunch of amateur writers or those with a fraction of his success taking pot shots at his prose. He’s a master storyteller. You don’t reach that level of breakout success if you’re not. Stop criticizing the people who have already proven their skill and work on your own!

@fandompulse Look I love Dungeon Crawler Carl I love Project Hail Mary Both are very political. DCC is bottom left, and Project Hail Mary is top right. One is lefty anarchism (wouldn't call it woke tho), the other is technocratic expert worshipping borderline fascism.

@AuthorGoodwin Not only that but your family might not even buy it, even if dedicated to someone and you give for free they might not even read it. But some random person will become your obsessed biggest fan and buy everything you do. Write for that person.

How many people have said to you: "l'll buy your book" Only to be proved to be blatant liers when you check your sales figures? Does it drive you a little nuts, or do you get that they are just trying to humour you?

@DavidKlion Indigenous means dwelling in the place for a millennia or more and having no competing claims prior. Any Palestinian that dates back that far does on the same claim. Aboriginals and First Nations also came from elsewhere. The biblical account doesn’t contradict indigenous status

@TomthunkitsMind It is not retrospective. Doesnt apply to current prisoners and is only an option for a judge and it is questionable whether the Supreme Court allows it anyway. But nice ragebait.

The execution of 12,000 Palestinian prisoners has been approved, 4,000 of them children—12,000 innocent people will be executed before the eyes of the world. Please don't stay silent, share, oppose these executions, say: NOT IN MY NAME NOT WITH MY MONEY IN WHAT RELIGION IS GENOCIDE OK?
