@clashreport 1000 years ago Basil II died leaving the byzantine empire at its apogee. The Byzantine-Seljuk wars didn't even begin for another 23 years.

@gbat2026105 @AVL_Social @DrewPavlou The capital city of the greek world is today called Istanbul, the Hagia Sophia today is a mosque, Greeks were cleansed from lands they lived in millennia, and for centuries Islamic nations raided Greek people for slaves.

@academic_la Total gaslighting. To actually believe this narrative you have to disregard not just the cause of every round of this conflict since the creation of isreal, but also the entire intercommunal conflict and the generational pograms inflicted on Jews for multiple centuries.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@CryptoYous @academic_la That's an awful lot of projection.

I challenged you and you've immediately fallen apart and now all you have is insults and conspiracy.

I've said I don't believe everything isreal say or what Hamas say. You, however are a firmly entrenched ideologue.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@CryptoYous @academic_la Who said I trust everything that Isreal says? Both sides have used propaganda throughout this war. That you can recognise that for isreal and not Hamas says alot about you. You seem quite happy to take obvious disinformation and run with it as long as it supports you're stance.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@CryptoYous @academic_la Ha, so can I just presume that you're a radical islamist then?

Part of the 'evidence' in that post is a photo of an entry wound next to an x ray with a bullet that would be upside down....

Hamas propogandise relentlessly, they don't get the benefit of the doubt.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@CryptoYous @academic_la Fuck me, you simpleton...

That article doesn't have anything to do with the Op. You called anyone who would believe this was Hamas without evidence as a demon but don't seem to be able to figure out that you're just a stupid to believe it's isreal without evidence.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@CryptoYous @academic_la There isn't a single testimonial in the 'evidence' that made up this post so let's try again.

What evidence supports the claim these children where shot by isreali snipers? Because there is plenty included to presume it wasn't.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@SBarrettBar I'm not left wing but I do find it hilarious when idiots out themselves.

You don't know what the words 'Socialist' or 'National Socialist' mean. You don't know the differences or similarities.

So you latch to the simplest connection you can make.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@CryptoYous @academic_la What evidence supports the reverse?

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@academic_la Nothing here that proves your claim. These children could have been killed by Hamas or random firing, both have far more historical evidence, than by an Isreali sniper.

Children were killed, it's abhorrent. Yet you spread and manipulate that to fit a narrative.

Shame on you.

@OperaSocialist @MHutton93 The beginnings of the welfare state were created by the liberal party and the NHS was created following the recommendation of the Beveridge report, written by William Beveridge, and a white paper written by Henry Willink.

You don't get props for enacting other people's ideas.

@PaulKennard18 @thinkdefence Spent 5 years on it after moving from cvrt and I love it, sure it could be better but we used it across the UK as well as in Canada, Morocco, and Poland whilst I was in and it wasn't a problem. I'd happily take it as a common vehicle across a brigade.

@Hayek1999Geo @LBC @BenKentish Oh well if social media says it it must be true....

As I said give examples.

[Bevan de Villiers @BevanDevilliers]

@thinkdefence It's crazy how little we've exploited HMT. We could outfit entire brigades on it if we wanted to.
