@TNGoodBadNuance @_ZachFoster And I don’t support violence in the West Bank . Jews SHOULD be able to live there, we were ethnically cleansed in 1948, it is our ancestral land where our prophets are buried, but we have been prepared to give it up in 2SS so not wise to even be there until borders are defined.

@LuiYaakov @_ZachFoster Over ~1,200 years, I could only find a few incidents (1517, 1660, 1834), with Safed 1834 at ~20–30 deaths. By historical standards, that’s relatively limited. That’s a stark contrast with the scale and frequency of violence in the West Bank today.

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/…

@ErenStraak It wasn’t the Ottoman soldiers- who invaded the year before. It was the local Arabs. And it didn’t just happen in 1517, but numerous times in Hebron, Safed and Tiberius over the next few centuries. 1517 was just when it happened to my family.

@LuiYaakov Zionists lie like they breathe. "murderous mob of Palestinian Muslims." You mean Turkish soldiers invading? What is wrong with you people?

@hohuperkynikos @ave10456575 @_ZachFoster It’s part of the historical record that local Arabs-now called Palestinians- did pogroms against Jews in Hebron, Safed and Tiberius numerous times before Zionism existed. Why would you even deny it unless you have some agenda? It doesn’t help your cause to deny history.

@LuiYaakov @ave10456575 @_ZachFoster Of course every Israeli is just nothing more than a liar. Palestinians did not do this. You'd call Tsar Nicholas of Russia a Palestinian so you could blame them for the Pogroms. It is simultaneously pathetic and sick how a brainwashed neo-Nazi nation just lies about everything.

@hohuperkynikos @beccajiggens @_ZachFoster I said it was who we call today Palestinians. Local Arabs there with the local Ottoman authorities doing nothing to stop it.

@LuiYaakov @beccajiggens @_ZachFoster Yes, you said it was Palestinians in your original comment. The question is: why are you a genocidal liar?

@capNoShow @beccajiggens @_ZachFoster Of course I am. It is forbidden to destroy trees even of an enemy, and we have rules about treating “strangers in the land” to show kindness and compassion.

@LuiYaakov @beccajiggens @_ZachFoster I imagine that given your family history you are against the violence perpetuated by settlers in the West Bank today then?

@GatheringF99 @_ZachFoster Because you're a racist piece of crap.

@LuiYaakov @_ZachFoster

@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.

@LuiYaakov @_ZachFoster You have a record of your "family" from 1517?

@ave10456575 @_ZachFoster

@LuiYaakov @_ZachFoster That's not passing the BS meter test.

@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?

@LuiYaakov @_ZachFoster Ottoman turks weren't Palestinian.

@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.

Muslims are highly intellectual that's why there are thousands of Quran memorizers but no one can confirm they have memorised the bible You need a very hight IQ to memorise perfectly

@ILoveToTalkFilm I watch that movie every year at Easter and I am never dry eyed at the end

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.

Does she realize Christian Palestinians are on this app and sharing their own stories.

@ecto_con @EsotericaThe @fandompulse And if you think that, then the acoustics in your head must be amazing.

@LuiYaakov @EsotericaThe @fandompulse You've proven that your just a partisan dullard.🤷🏿

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?

@sporadica When you realise the egg is not the sequel to Dunk and egg…

lot of talk recently about Project Hail Mary and the Martian but i still think The Egg is the best story Andy Weir ever wrote

@sporadica Have you read James Moriaty consulting criminal? His tone is perfect Sherlock Holmes and really shows his range.

@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.

@LuiYaakov @EsotericaThe @fandompulse Space bacteria, not really analogous to current models of "climate change." There's nothing inherently left-wing about science.

@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!
