@HeimishHumor Hamas already kills their own Muslim brethren for crimes as severed as cutting their toenails in the wrong order.

@___TheGOOdWitch Question: Hiw did life itself begin? Whatever your estimation of the age of Earth, the odds of life beginning spontaneously is billions of times less likely than an alternative.

@OscarLamb1970 @RawaneOsmane Not at all true. But you’re boring. So I will block you.

@manway613 @RawaneOsmane The UN is either relevant or irrelevant, make your mind up.
In any event, whether you agree or disagree with the Zionist project, PEOPLE have rights. And Israel has violated those rights tens of thousands of times in recent years. I’ll go with international expert opinion on this

“Free Palestine.”
I grew up on those words.
In Lebanon, most people around me wanted a free Palestine for a very practical reason — to send the Palestinian refugees back. The civil war that tore my country apart was ignited in no small part by the Palestinian armed factions who turned Lebanon into their launching pad. “Free Palestine” meant: free us from them.
In Damascus, where my father’s family lived, the sentiment was different but equally self-serving. Palestine must be returned to the Arabs, its righteous owners. No one asked follow-up questions. No one was expected to.
Palestine was central to Islam, most Arabs are Muslim, therefore supporting the Palestinian cause was reflexive. A non-brainer in the most literal sense — no brain engaged at all.
Nobody stopped to point out that Palestine is not an Arabic word. Nobody found it strange that Jerusalem, the supposedly third holiest city in Islam, is not mentioned once in the Quran. Not once. Nor is Palestine. The entire theological and political architecture of this cause rests on a foundation that their own scripture doesn’t bother to acknowledge.
What was actually happening was indoctrination. A systematic, generational rejection of Jewish sovereignty — and frankly, of any minority sovereignty. Jews, Christians, Druze, Kurds, Assyrians, Yazidis — the Arab world has been remarkably consistent in how it treats people who are different. We just don’t talk about that.
Instead, in the West, we talk about Palestine.
In the West, a civilization that has elevated human rights to its highest moral currency, the Palestinian cause has become the one exception to every rule. In the queue of human suffering, Palestinians cut the line every time. Homosexuals executed in Gaza and hanged from cranes in Iran? Palestine first. Women imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for campaigning for the right to drive — a right they were denied until 2018 — girls sold into marriage in Afghanistan, women erased from public life entirely under the Taliban? After Palestine. Political dissidents ground into dust in Syrian and Egyptian prisons, journalists disappeared in Libya, children starving in Yemen while their rulers wage proxy wars, entire populations hollowed out by hunger in Sudan? All of it waits. Christians ethnically cleansed from Iraq and Syria, the Arab world methodically emptied of every Jewish community it once held — a demographic erasure carried out across a century with surgical patience and near-total Western silence?
Palestine is still first.
So let’s end where we started. Free Palestine. Which Palestine, exactly? The Roman invention? The British administrative line? The British Mandate covered the entire territory of what is today Israel, the West Bank, Gaza and Jordan. In 1921, 78% of that mandate was handed to the Hashemite family — a dynasty imported from Hijaz in present-day Saudi Arabia — and became the Kingdom of Jordan, which it remains to this day. A foreign royal family, on the majority of historic Palestine, ruling it as a monarchy. Nobody protests that. No flags, no chants, no encampments. The remaining 22% was designated for the Jews, became Israel, and is the only part that any pro-Palestinian activist has ever had a problem with.
So when you say Free Palestine, you mean that 22%. You mean the Jews.
And free it from whom? From a people with a three-thousand-year-old documented presence in that land, to restore the glory of a name coined by Roman colonizers, a name lifted from the Torah, a name that has no roots in Arabic, no mention in the Quran, and no history as a sovereign state?
You are not chanting for liberation. You are chanting for colonialism — the Roman kind, repackaged for social media.
Free Palestine is not a cause. It is a colonial term, coined by invaders, recycled by the indoctrinated. The least you can do is have the intelligence to understand it and the decency to reflect on your position.

@Mish_K_ My jaw just dropped, my mouth opened. Does this MENSA member not know???

@Iyadoo @kevinnbass Why do think that no one would “sympathize with criminals?” Most of the Arab and Muslim world and all the liberal university students are mistakenly sympathizing with viscous criminals - Hamas.
English

@kevinnbass Sure, a POS like you would keep conflating Jews and Zionists. No decent human being would sympathize with criminals!! The only empathy I have for criminal Zionists is that they were brainwashed at a very early age to become who they are today!

@EliLebowicz Israel is ripping paper factories right now in northern Ohio.

GAZAWOOD - the PALLYWOOD saga@GAZAWOOD1
Gaza authorities prepared a delightful educational event for kids ahead of the Festival of Sacrifice. Main attraction: chopping off the head of a cardboard lamb and spraying red liquid from its neck while the excited children shouted "Allahu Akbar!"❤️

@OscarLamb1970 @RawaneOsmane Please refer to my prior comment:
The above map was the suggestion of the UN. Israel accepted. The Arab countries did not. Instead, the Arabs attacked the new Jewish state. And lost.
Do you know what happens to countries who lose a war they started. Look it up. They lose ter.

@manway613 @RawaneOsmane Thank you!
You have just confirmed that the state of Israel has no international legitimacy.
Well done.

@manway613 @RawaneOsmane lol Jews being Jews. It never stops. 3000 year old history of being liars.

@Econgrad5143 @RawaneOsmane After World War 2, Germany lost about 20% of its territory.
Would you accuse the US, Britain, and Russia in 1945 of “genocidal imperialism?”
Your foolish and inappropriate use of these terms exposes you as a liar.
English

@manway613 @RawaneOsmane Ah, you mean genocidal European imperialism. Yes, that has a long history of "success." We Europeans sure have a lot to answer for.
English

@Econgrad5143 @RawaneOsmane You’re right. History makes it true.
English

@RawaneOsmane What rubbish. Tortuous myth making. You may believe it, but that doesn't make it true.
English

@OscarLamb1970 @RawaneOsmane What the UN votes on is irrelevant
English

@RawaneOsmane 3/4 of UN countries (157 of 193) recognises Palestinian statehood.
That state is currently under Israeli control, meaning it's not free.
I know you have the intelligence to grasp this, it's not complicated.
You just don't have the decency.

@MarxParlo70833 @RawaneOsmane Dear Mr. Twat,
The above map was the suggestion of the UN. Israel accepted. The Arab countries did not. Instead, the Arabs attacked the new Jewish state. And lost.
Do you know what happens to countries who lose a war they started. Look it up. They lose territory.

@V12Trades @RawaneOsmane AIPAC focuses on Congress, not on the rest of us. We who are not in Congress have to do our own research. Unlike you.
