@Goatedko They are not universally kuffar. However, there are kuffar amongst them, as there are in all sects.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Can we just quit giving Americans’ hard earned money to this blood thirsty war criminal? Peace in the Middle East would follow quickly.

[Leon Smith @LeonSmithVT]

@joekent16jan19 We need to go much farther in confronting Israel. We need to end ALL assistance - arms, intel, logistics, monies, etc. ALL. And then we need to lay down the law…

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.

The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.

This is the wrong mindset. One of the best work experiences I had was working for a Jewish owned and operated company. It’s not Jews. It’s rabid Zionists, criminals, immoral and unethical people. And these folks can be “atheists”, Christians”, even “Muslims” (eg some Emiratis).

@RepThomasMassie @joekent16jan19 Don’t arm Israel at all. They have been and are in violation of numerous US federal laws requiring for an arms embargo against them.

@Jason_R_Burt I’m still impressed with the elevation of the gun on the Marder III.

@Martina Men, including me, also look down when we pray. Stay in your lane...

@MercifulMessage May he have success and a full recovery. Amin.

The reason I talk about Israel is not because it’s fun or because I gain something from it.
It’s because I believe it must be talked about. It’s not only the ethical and moral issue of our time, it’s directly related to America and our sovereignty and to economics, prosperity and freedom.

[Leon Smith @LeonSmithVT]

@ClearReason Wildly unreliable data…

[Leon Smith @LeonSmithVT]

@TB1Kinobe Horrible design. Tree line is too close, parking lot is isolated from main compound... so many things wrong from a security standpoint...

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

I watched this once, and every part of me felt rage.

Too many are not angry enough. Too many are not human enough.

[Leon Smith @LeonSmithVT]

@camhigby Face palm... They would have sent the jets for reconnaissance and to provide defense should additional attacks be made against the ship... Of course you don't want to hear that or acknowledge it to be true...

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

The daily Israeli settler terror that we’ve been dealing with for decades. Ironically, the same Americans who are all about Stand Your Ground laws are the same people who fully support this land theft and mass displacement. Freedom for me but not for thee.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

12-year old Maryam Qadoum, killed after Israeli forces struck displacement tents in the Al-Jawazat area of Gaza. Zionists see these videos too, the difference is their hearts are dead.

59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.

Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.

Nope. Historically, the Jews never held Jerusalem for any significant amount of time compared to all the other nations that lived and ruled there.

For roughly 3500 years --Yes, say that figure out loud: THREE THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED YEARS-- in what is called the Proto-Canaanite period, Jerusalem belonged to the Canaanites who worshipped many gods and godesses. It wasn't until 2000BC do scholars find a reference that debatably refers to Jerusalem. The word is "Rusalimum" in texts of Egypt's Middle Kingdom. Scholars believe that the name is a consecration to "Shalim" a Canaanite deity of the netherworld from Ugaritic scriptures. 

The territory passed from the Canaanites to the Egyptians, ultimately. So here we have Egyptians and Canaanites being the original inhabitants of Jerusalem for 3,500 years before the Jews ever conquered it. 

Jerusalem was taken by King David in 1010BC and lost to the Egyptians in 925BC. Jehoash of Israel briefly recaptured it in 786BC but then lost it to the Assyrians in 740BC. That's just 131 years, just about as long as the Crusaders' rule of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages. 

The Jewish Hasmoneans re-took it in 140BC under Simon Thassi but then lost it to the Persian Seleucides in 134. That's 6 more years of Jewish rule. Due to a Seleucid civil war, Judeah incidentally became independent in the chaos in 116BC. In 87BC the Jewish Hasmonean king executed 800 Jews for sedition. In 47BC they lost Jerusalem again, this time to the Romans. That's 69 years of rule.

In total, off and on the Jews ruled Jerusalem for MAYBE 206 years.

The Pre-Constantine Romans ruled it for 250 years.

The Christian Byzantines ruled it for 304 years.

The Muslims ruled it under the Rashidun, Umayyad and Abbasid Empires for 332 years.

The Muslim Fatimids ruled it for 129 years.

The Crusaders took it from the Muslims and held it for 88 years.

The Muslim ruler Saladin conquered it in 1187 and his descendents held it for 63 years.

The Muslim Mamluk Empire ruled it for 236 years.

The Ottomans ruled it for 401 years.

That's 206 years of Jewish rule.

392 years of Christian rule.

And over EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS of Muslim rule. 

And before any of them, the Canaanites and the Egyptians lived and ruled there for 3,500 years. That’s longer than anyone.

And who has the largest concentration of Canaanite DNA today? Levantine Arabs.

“We found that present-day Lebanese derive 93% of their ancestry from a Canaanite-related population.”
[Haber, M. et al., Continuity and Admixture in the Last Five Millennia of Levantine History, American Journal of Human Genetics, Vol. 101, Issue 2, 2017, p. 278]

“The Canaanite-related ancestry is widespread among Levantine populations but is often accompanied by later gene flow from steppe, Arabian, or African sources.”
[Haber et al., AJHG, 2017, p. 278]

“Palestinians, Syrians, and Druze all retain significant Bronze Age Levantine ancestry but show more genetic heterogeneity than Lebanese Christians.”
[Ibid., Extended Data Figures S3–S4]

"We show that present-day Lebanese derive most of their ancestry from a Canaanite-related population, which therefore implies substantial genetic continuity in the Levant since at least the Bronze Age."

The Bronx is crowded, but Eastern Europe still has plenty of space.

“I took my rocket launcher and ordered the soldiers to bombard a building in Gaza where a Palestinian family lived…It was very fun to hear them scream while they burned alive.”

This is Zionism, and it’s mainstream in Israel.
