@Souv_Id @ChrisO_wiki @HenshiG Libya was a component part of the Kingdom of Italy (not merely 'occupied'). It wasn't occupied by the Germans, who never represented a majority of military force there.

@ChrisO_wiki @HenshiG The Germans were there, in a dominant position. So it kinda counts.

In 1942, in Nazi-occupied Tunisia—the only Arab country to suffer direct German occupation—a drunken officer bragged at dinner about the Jewish woman he planned to seize from a forced brothel. He named her. Across the table sat Khaled Abdul-Wahab, a 31-year-old wealthy Muslim Tunisian who had studied art and architecture in New York, spoke fluent German, and was trusted by the Nazis. They invited him to their tables. He smiled, poured the wine, finished the meal… then raced through the night. He pounded on the door of the woman’s family at midnight. “Pack nothing. Come now.” He gathered 25 terrified Jews—mothers, fathers, children, cousins—and drove them nearly 20 miles to his family farm. For four agonizing months, he hid them in the olive press, stables, and storage sheds. He fed them as supplies ran desperately low. He kept crying babies silent. When German soldiers came to count Jews, the hidden families pinned on their yellow stars, stood motionless, then tore them off the moment the danger passed. One terrifying night, a drunk soldier stumbled upon them and threatened to kill everyone. An 11-year-old girl, hiding under a bed, watched in horror—until Khaled appeared like a guardian angel. He calmly disarmed the soldier and sent him away. No one on that farm died. In May 1943, the British liberated Tunisia. The 25 returned home alive. Khaled went back to his quiet life—painting, raising daughters, serving his country—and never spoke of it again. Not to his wife. Not to his children. He died in 1997 at 86. His secret died with him. A decade later, his daughter Faiza sat in a Paris café reading a newspaper. An American historian was describing a Tunisian Arab who had hidden 25 Jews. He named her father. She was 45 years old and hearing the story for the first time. “I rediscovered my father,” she said. Khaled was nominated to be the first Arab recognized as Righteous Among the Nations—Israel’s highest honor for those who saved Jews. The committee declined. Today, those 25 souls have hundreds of descendants living in Israel, France, America, and Tunisia. The little girl under the bed grew up, built a family in Paris. None of them would exist if Khaled had looked away that night. He had everything to lose. He acted anyway. Then he carried the silence for the rest of his life. The world almost forgot him twice. Now you know his name: Khaled Abdul-Wahab. A true hero. A Muslim who stood against evil when it mattered most. Colorized image of black and white photo poster by Israel the Jewish State.

@iam_thorba Rivaldo played with his son

The kid only needed 2 mins to break the world record. No father has played on the same pitch with his son! I don’t know what y’all are fussing about

That stupid coach didn’t let him play on the same pitch with his son before he retired 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@TamamoTailFluff @wesleytypes @starwars Fortunately the game has immense replayability. I can understand the caution from a dev's standpoint of not wanting to overload too many companions at once, though. You're encouraged to take them around and do stuff with them, so getting a new one limits that.

@slaybakpd @wesleytypes @starwars I'm talking about first time player experience, someone going in blind is typically going to want to finish the planet before leaving

The Disciple is a bit underrated in Knights of the Old Republic II. I didn't realize until this playthrough that he nearly figures out the whole plot of the game mere moment after you recruit him. He's so intelligent and full of conviction that even Kreia is amused, and later she straight up HAUNTS him and uses the force to prevent him from speaking about her. Yes, the Handmaiden is overall the better character and you can only have one or the other, but in "canon" both accompanied the Jedi Exile, so it's still important to see each of them.

@TamamoTailFluff @wesleytypes @starwars If I'm playing female exile, I go to Dantooine right away to get the crystal and Disciple, and then just leave without triggering the rest of the story. Idk why people get stuck on the idea of having to finish a planet before leaving.

@wesleytypes @starwars One of the biggest problems with KOTOR II that I don't see many people talk about is it's structure. You get one companion per world which means everyone who joins after Telos might be screwed by you doing theirs last. It would have behooved Obsidian to front load more of them.

@drowwpoison Kotor is a very classic star wars story. Simple, light vs dark, a good twist, kinda camp. Good, fun action and characters. Kotor 2 is the most profound examination of the universe there has ever been, superbly well written and acted, with more depth to its gameplay to boot.

would u guys hate me if i said that i’m enjoying kotor 2 more than kotor 1

@brendan_fo94078 @JulianOD @NickDav56810181 @archer_rs The Falklands are more than 400km away from the closest point of Argentina.

Overnight Trump has discovered Gibraltar is connected to Spain. It seems he previously thought it was a British administered island in the Mediterranean.

@rainrubiess I imagine they meant uk garage

“rude - bass house” LMAOOOO WHATTTTTT put So What or Dalla Dalla there instead also i’m sorry but 4 walls is not tropical house and wtf is “uk house” bc i know you don’t mean uk hard house

@MathewNanos @ImBatman443 @ShitpostGate Well, they were at war with Australia before Darwin. Part of the strategy to cut it off involved the capture of South Pacific islands like New Guinea and Timor which brought them into direct conflict. Targeting Darwin was just to try and prevent it being used as a supporting base

@slaybakpd @ImBatman443 @ShitpostGate Bit of both

@MathewNanos @ImBatman443 @ShitpostGate Are you disagreeing with that being their plan, or simply calling it out for being a stupid one?

@slaybakpd @ImBatman443 @ShitpostGate Ah yes everyone knows the best way to isolate a country is to bomb one of their cities so their allies will come to their aid and as well as to give said country an excuse to mobilise their army and navy against you.

@MathewNanos @ImBatman443 @ShitpostGate Bombing Darwin =/= planning to invade. Ofc the Aussies didn't know that, but Japan had deemed invading unfeasible and planned only to cut off and isolate it.

@ImBatman443 @ShitpostGate Dude they bombed Darwin a month after pearl harbour.

@DavidPGCSE There's a bar in korea where you pay 25,000 entry (20k for girls) - about £12.50 - and you it's all you can drink all night.

Imagine hanging up an "All the spirits you can drink in one hour for 9 quid" sign in any English market town

@MerokoLady They have at least 4, I've seen them

do we think that the three dcc employees that exist had a long, heated debate about whether or not they should still release this lmao

@MacTimred @NavalInstitute At 14 inches, its guns were comparatively small to top of the line BBs by WW2, and there wasn't really any need for them anymore regardless.

@NavalInstitute LOOK AT ALL THOSE HUGE GUNS!! SHOULD HAVE BEEN UPGRADED, REFITTED AND RECOMMISSIONED!!

#OTD in 1916, the Navy's "super-dreadnought" USS Nevada was commissioned. The Nevada would survive Pearl Harbor and go on to provide support at Normandy, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. After the war, the Nevada was painted orange and used as a target ship for the Bikini atomic tests.

@uhiupibuino @mikitaposts Britain held protector status over the area for 151 years.

@mikitaposts Crying shame the Brits never got their hands on MENA Gibraltar

That tip would be a great place for a potential city. Or a fort.

@d_real_jqlo @victorA47 @thee_ovie @_chrismane_ But it's not more weird, is it? Melilla is a tiny enclave, it doesn't have its own professional league, it isn't far at all. Its location is not really that relevant, it makes complete sense for it to play in Spain, no different to Las Palmas or Mallorca.

@slaybakpd @victorA47 @thee_ovie @_chrismane_ My point is about continent The original post talked about a Wales club playing in England which is the same continent and same union And i said this is even more weird because its on another continent

How do Welsh clubs like Wrexham and Swansea leave the Wales league and play in the English league??

@d_real_jqlo @victorA47 @thee_ovie @_chrismane_ What's your point? It's like saying 'imagine travelling from Europe to Asia for a game' when that's regularly true for clubs in Turkey. It's not about continents, rather distance.

@slaybakpd @victorA47 @thee_ovie @_chrismane_ Yeah but what continent is it on

@d_real_jqlo @victorA47 @thee_ovie @_chrismane_ It's closer to Sevilla than Barcelona is. Not like it's in Zimbabwe, is it? Hell, the Spanish clubs on Tenerife will have further to go.

@victorA47 @thee_ovie @_chrismane_ I know my point is its 2 different continent Imagine traveling to Europe from Africa every match

@ma33499357 @tovers98 The joy of losing to a goal that should not have stood?

@tovers98 We want it scrapped because it's completely ruining and taking the joy out of the game. I bet if they did a poll 80 per cent of fans would want it scrapped.

The reaction to yesterday’s tie has been genuinely insane. I have seen pundits and fans openly admit they want VAR scrapped because it intervened correctly on two occasions and did not give them the Wrexham win they wanted. Refereeing to the narrative is the worst thing.

@StreetwallNY @cirnosad No, Falklands

@cirnosad Is that the first ship sunk by an enemy ship since WW2? Insane.

@ErhardSi @Otto_Katz_2024 @vintagemapstore It's actually somewhat accurate in terms of what is stated - this was Alfred Rosenberg's idea. His idea was not adopted as official policy, so it remained just that - a proposal.

@Otto_Katz_2024 @vintagemapstore That's my Informations too. Hitler was not interested in siberia.
