An IQ of 70 is considered “poor” (or extremely low) because it is the standard clinical cutoff for intellectual disability (formerly called mental retardation)

Quick Historical Context These men (and thousands more knights, soldiers, and pilgrims from across Western Europe) answered Pope Urban II’s call at the Council of Clermont in 1095. The goal: recapture Jerusalem and the Holy Land, which had been under Muslim rule (initially Arab, then Seljuk Turkish) since the 7th century. The immediate triggers were: - Persecution and attacks on Christian pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. - The Byzantine Empire’s desperate plea for military help against the Seljuk Turks who had conquered much of Anatolia. The First Crusade was spectacularly successful from the European perspective: the Crusaders marched 3,000+ km, won major battles against much larger forces, and established four Crusader states (the Kingdom of Jerusalem, County of Edessa, Principality of Antioch, and County of Tripoli) that lasted nearly 200 years. The red cross on white became the uniform of the Crusading armies (and later inspired the flags of England, Switzerland, and the Knights Templar).

The Crusades were justified, necessary, and need to happen again.

@Finix__0 I have no pity for him, Everyone begged him to stay but he left. Raph at this rate will surpass him at Barca. It's really a shame to see such a generational player reduced to such discussion

@hamstringFCB Once Neymar retire a lot of this disrespect would stop

In terms of Talent, there's no way Roony gets close to Neymar. Neymar is simply the architect of his misfortune. Had he stayed at Barcelona he would have solidified his legacy amongst football greats In terms of Talent, Messi and Ronaldo in this generation are above him. A crazy player who went for money

And True, this was the reason for the invasion Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 (starting June 6) primarily to eliminate the threat posed by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which had established a strong military and political presence in southern Lebanon during the ongoing Lebanese Civil War. The operation was officially named Operation Peace for Galilee (in Hebrew: Shalom HaGalil), reflecting the stated goal of protecting Israeli civilians in the northern Galilee region from PLO rocket attacks, artillery barrages, and cross-border guerrilla raids. Main Reasons from the Israeli Perspective (as Stated by Leaders like PM Menachem Begin and Defense Minister Ariel Sharon) - Security for northern Israel; In the years leading up to 1982, the PLO (and allied groups) used southern Lebanon as a base to launch attacks on Israeli border communities. These included rocket fire, shelling, and infiltrations that killed and injured civilians. Israel had already conducted a limited incursion in 1978 (Operation Litani) for similar reasons, but the threat escalated again by the early 1980s. The immediate trigger was the June 3, 1982, attempted assassination of Israel's ambassador to the UK, Shlomo Argov, by gunmen linked to the Abu Nidal Organization (a splinter Palestinian group hostile to the PLO). Israel blamed the PLO broadly and used this as the casus belli. - Destroy or expel the PLO: The PLO had built a "state-within-a-state" in Lebanon, with training camps, weapons stockpiles, and political infrastructure. Israel's aim was to dismantle this capability, push PLO forces north (initially claimed as a 40 km / 25-mile security zone), and force their evacuation (which eventually happened in September 1982 under international supervision, with many going to Tunisia).

🚨 Israel bombing Lebanon in 1982 Before the formation of Hezbollah. Hezbollah was formed as a direct response to Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.

@Mrcryptoxwhale you can't actually own a star (international law and the IAU don't allow it). Plus who even owns it to sell it?🤣

Cristiano Ronaldo bought a star in the sky worth $37.5 million for his partner Georgina Rodríguez.

@elonmusk Whenever you engage a post, you get flooded with related posts. I don't enjoy such experience please.

Algorithm is better today than 3 months ago?

@agizzlefizzle12 Shut up. Lamine clearly cost Barca the second goal

the only bad things about wins like today’s is it covers up the horror performances from some players. cancelo and aroro allowing a wasteman like elanga to score a brace against us it will be overshadowed by their teammates making up for it with 7 goals

@Ellis_ @harbyb_adeosun Are you some trust fund kid? How do you afford all the time in the world for cool stuff like this?

I don’t leave Barcelona until tomorrow evening and I already can’t wait to come back here for the UCL quarter finals next month. What a club. What a city.

@i_am_avd Why this? Are you the gatekeeper or something ?

Barcelona fans can never make heaven

@Ali400B So what did Cancelo do wrong? Are you guys just retareded or something? Must you bash your player to drive an agenda against another? This fanbase man

I’m not letting this go that easy btw, today is another example of how reactionary Barça fans are. Thankfully we managed to turn the momentum around, but Cancelo in these games is a disaster. Some of you idiots will learn to respect Balde the hard way

@i_am_avd @Mikedotcoza Oh well.🤝

@hamstringFCB @Mikedotcoza Yeah they tried to rob us during the three peat but the best team came out top thrice

At this rate we might as well go back to 1986 and overturn Maradona's Hand of God against England.

@PapaSayds I understandyour sentiment but Barca is trying to negotiate a lesser price for him. They can't go to the table with Rash dishimg out 35 Apps, 30G/A

@hamstringFCB Still hurts though

You might not believe it but there's a performance and appearance clause on Rashford’s contract. He has over-performed already. Hansi loves him but this is business

@i_am_avd @Mikedotcoza Yeah Chelsea robbed us but the best team came out top

@hamstringFCB @Mikedotcoza You didn’t watch semi final return leg at Chelsea?

@i_am_avd @Mikedotcoza Clean win if we are being honest 💯

@hamstringFCB @Mikedotcoza We can appeal Barca's 2009 UCL

@GoalVersee Jamie🤣💔

Jamie Carragher 🎙️ “Ronald Araújo might just be the worst player to ever wear a Barcelona shirt. I question his decision-making every time I watch him. I wasn’t a great defender myself, but he makes me look world-class.”

@Ellis_ @Chetanwadike It's incredible how the home fans can be the 12th, 13th and even 14th man. They give the players so much energy. Visca Barca

Been to loads of Barça games now, but this is definitely the best game I’ve attended & it wasn’t because of the 7-2 scoreline. It’s my first time seeing these guys in the stadium live and the way they chant the whole time & the whole crowd going makes a MASSIVE difference, they’re incredible.

My honest opinion about Barcelona vs Newcastle Generally, I'm very excited for the win but it was a very poor display first half in the way we conceded. At this level, we shouldn't be going down easily after taking a lead. The Penalty gave us a lifeline Joan Garcia’s distribution has been a concern to me, it almost certain we will lose possession whenever he makes a long pass. Cubarsi and Gerard Martin’s partnership today wasn't the best like last week vs Newcastle but dealing with those Arial balls ain't easy so I give them a pass Joan Cancelo has been a revelation for us. He's filling in for Balde and Kounde when called on. To think some Barcelona fans never wanted his return was cringe. Sad for Eric. His replacement Araujo made Lamine’s movement very difficult like the last time Midfield was ok most especially second half. I'm happy Benal can be called upon when it's time to score which is a rare quality from a DM. I'm just worried about his passes, the ball feels too heavy for him Lamine apart from the Assist was pretty average, Raph was excellent and Grandpa Lewandoski apart from losing all his duels was fantastic in front of goal Even I wasn't expecting and 8-3 scoreline. Statement win going forward. Visca Barca
