@EFischberger There are <500 Christian Qatari citizens. Conversion from Islam to Christianity is legally and socially restricted for Qatari citizens and punished worse for expatriates. The ~400k Christians in Qatar are expatriates - most Filipino, Indian, or from various parts of Africa / Asia

Tucker hilariously claims there are more Christians in Qatar than in Israel. Amb. Huckabee correctly responds that Christians in Qatar are forced to live in ghettos without equal rights. He then asks Tucker what Qatar’s Christian population is. His answer? “I don’t know.”

@mjinko_ie @VerminusM Bibi is annoyed with people recognizing a politically nonexistent entity in any practical way. The Palestinian state has no clear boundaries or sovereign territorial claims, no clear singular claim to legitimate leadership in an environment bifurcated between Fatah and Hamas.

@VerminusM Is it not more notable that Bibi recognised them without any consent from the mother state? Especially after all his crying over people recognising Palestine. That's the real story.

It amuses me that the nations who fight tooth and nail for "Palestine" all attack Israel for recognizing Somaliland because suddenly they care so much about the territorial integrity of post-colonial nations.

@mjinko_ie @VerminusM Somalia isn’t a functional country. That’s why Somaliland broke back off, after unification many years ago. Israel was the first country to recognize Somaliland the first time it incorporated in 1960 and was symbolically excited to repeat that first recognition. Somaliland works.

@TerriWhiti @KurdishGnoticer @rocktobyte @sahouraxo @realDonaldTrump Besides that there were a couple of Israelis already being held hostage for years - I think it’s important not to forget them

There were 0 (zero) Israelis or Jews in Gaza on from 2005 until October 7th 2023. The Israelis even dug up Jewish cemeteries in Gaza and re-interred the bodies in Israel because they knew the Pantistains would desecrate Jewish burial grounds. Gazans shoukd pack up and go back home to Egypt, Jordan and Saudi but, that's right, nobody wants those awful Gazans. Who could blame anyone for not wanting them?

Horrifying. Israel just dropped bombs on tents full of displaced civilians in Gaza. 15 tents were buried under the sand. Entire families were swallowed by the massive blast crater. They were buried alive. A massacre in plain sight.

@AvivaKlompas She’s spot on. She refused to let him Ben Shapiro her.

@reider The phrase אלו החיים is about accepting reality as it is in a particular moment. It is better translated as “These are [the circumstances of] our lives.” And yes, what happened to that man is terrible. But learn to translate better. 2/2

@reider The connotative difference between c’est la vie and אלו החיים is VAST. I’d like Bibi to retire but this is a disingenuous translation. C’est la vie is centered around attitudinal nonchalance … 1/2

TLDR: Israeli soldiers executed a Jewish-Israeli civilian who has just stopped a terrorist attack in Jerusalem. Netanyahu's comment? "C'est la vie."

@a_h_reaume Why do you keep pointing people to an essay with such a lack of engagement with counterpoint in it? If this is a serious argument we should take seriously, surely there’s writing on the topic w less publication bias.

@a_h_reaume Multiple groups seeing their own people’s experiences of oppression and crisis in dystopian literature is a sign of successful dystopian literature. (Particularly if you’re Margaret Atwood, who has explicitly stated that she only writes about things w basis in the past/present.)

@KahZooKey @juicyjew420 @whomstdances @RedstreakFox @No7Sammy Yeah agreed. “It’s a psyop to make us infight” 🙄 like stfu … you’re just talking over queer scientists about whether science reporting is appropriately worded. Tell me more about anti-fascism while trying to exert control over academics and media. 😂

@himber93 @juicyjew420 @whomstdances @RedstreakFox @No7Sammy Yeah... I mean I'm not the perfect advisor but I at least will read the research before commenting lol. Honestly, I misread their vibe tho. Sammy is doing lefty Agitprop which is why they're heated. It's just picking bad examples of bigotry makes it hard to call out real ones.

@KahZooKey @juicyjew420 @whomstdances @RedstreakFox @No7Sammy I’m just appalled at them posturing as an authoritative voice to 2 scientists as a … blogger and ex sports player. They’re literally not a journalist.

@juicyjew420 @whomstdances @RedstreakFox @No7Sammy I so rarely tweet and genuinely thought it was a great moment to correct what was being perceived like downer research into really good news. Even as a leftist I do have to laugh at an account with that branding silencing "dissenters" lmao. At least they stay in character.

@The_Fifth_Don @No7Sammy “As good or better” is a pretty direct synonym for “at least as well” (one more US, one more UK in style) but neither of them are synonyms for “better” outright. And the study’s data doesn’t provide evidence for better outright, so that would be bad reporting.

@No7Sammy No. It means what it says. “At least as well.” Stop looking for “oppression” where there is none to be found.
