@marceelias when you cheat you win is what you mean. Democrats recruited this loser with the sole goal of what? "Ensuring democracy?"
Elias is laughing his as off on the stunt that was pulled and he gets to play the victim. Again.
You don't have arguments, just indoctrinated drivel. Yet you are not self-aware enough to know that, despite claiming to be the guru of self-awareness. That is not "ad hominem," just a fact. But that is no different from the rest of the "from the river to the sea" crowd.
The reason I brought up have ben in a Muslim for school for three years was to show I am much more likely than you to have examined both sides of the situation. If you are going to blame anyone for the origination of what has happened, blame the British.
You babble with a very surface level of what you consider to be "knowledge." You hide behind labels that obscure rather than illuminate. They are only labels.
Then you peddle some self-created self-awareness tripe which your categorical judgements demonstrate is nothing but a con job. "Coach."
@BlueCollarDad73@VDHanson It is a marriage of convenience. Someday it will be a divorce and the fireworks will be spectacular as the Islamists wipe out the leftists
completely out of context. "then proceed to do exactly that through terrorism, murder, theft, and ethnic cleansing" not true. It is your spin and it is not what happened. The one who is brainwashed is you. Who went to a Muslim school in a Muslim county? You or me? Me. I can tell you know only the comic book history pushed by Fatah and Hamas.
The history recounted is real.
You pluck a few quotes from history and act as if those matter, while ignoring context. I didn't bother to even see if they are actual quotes because it does not matter. Also, just giving a year and not the speaker is obvious obfuscation.
Whatever "Principle" you claim to live by is indiscernible from your timeline, instead you spout propaganda and obscure the details in your "expose".
A letter from a Palestinian living next to Israel.
Hello, I am Palestinian. π·
And since honesty is so rare in my politics, let me confess a few things.
1947. The UN offered me a state. Alongside Israel. Borders, independence, recognition. I said no. My leaders promised that war would "drive the Jews into the sea." Instead, I lost everything and they called it a catastrophe. Not because they didn't offer me a state, but because I rejected it.
1948β2025. Arab states could have integrated me, given me rights, passports, dignity. Instead, they locked me in refugee camps for generations, so I would remain a weapon against Israel. They built palaces for themselves and prisons for me. They used me as propaganda, not as people.
1967. After another lost war, I could have built a state in the West Bank and Gaza. Instead, I insisted on "no peace, no recognition, no negotiations." Three noes. Fifty years later, I still have no state. Turns out, rejection doesn't pay the rent.
Oslo, 1990s. Israel said: "Let's try it." It gave me autonomy. Weapons for the police. Billions in aid. What did my leaders do? They stole the money, armed militias, and launched an intifada. Suicide bombings instead of schools. Rockets instead of factories.
Gaza, 2005. Israel left completely. No settlers, no soldiers. I had the chance to turn Gaza into a Mediterranean Singapore. I voted for Hamas. They turned it into Mogadishu by the sea. Billions in aid? Tunnels, rockets, and palaces for their leaders, while my people eat canned food in the dark.
Democracy? I haven't had elections in nearly 20 years. Hamas kills dissenters in Gaza. Fatah imprisons them in the West Bank. My leaders cancel elections because they're too busy fighting for power.
Religion. Instead of building a future, I put clerics on TV teaching children to hate Jews. I glorify "martyrs" who blow up buses. I raise my children with songs of blood and fire instead of books and science. I trade hope for holy war.
Arab world. Arab regimes call me "brother." But ask them how many Palestinians can live freely in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, or Kuwait. They exclude me, but celebrate my death, because my death is their excuse.
Absurdity. I keep saying I want to "build a state." And ironically, right next door is Israel: the neighbor that built a thriving democracy, a tech powerhouse, farms in the desert, cities from dust. No oil, no infinite wealth, just courage. I could have learned, copied, collaborated. Instead, I chose envy and rage.
Anti-Jewish obsession. I could have accepted Jews as neighbors. I could have said: "Two nations, two states." Instead, I repeat: "From the river to the sea." Instead of displaying honor, hospitality, and rich Arab culture, I showed only the culture of the sword: anger, extremism, and blood. Instead of shouting salaam (peace) to Israelis, I shouted death to the Jews. And then I pretend to be surprised when Israelis don't trust me, when they're angry, disappointed, and convinced I don't want coexistence at all.
Responsibility. I blame Israel for everything. Always. My leaders steal billions? Israel's fault. Hamas fires rockets from hospitals? Israel's fault. I glorify death over life? Israel's fault. Responsibility isn't my strong suit.
I am Palestinian.
I could have built a nation, many times. I chose rejection, corruption, and endless war. I could have lived in peace with Israel, but I chose to live in the shadow of its destruction.
So yes, I am a victim. But too often, I am a victim of my own leaders, my own choices, and my own refusal to let go of hate.
And that, dear reader, is the tragedy no one wants to admit."
Hat tip to @DanaPerino who earlier today on @thefive said that Beirut used to be the Paris of the Middle East (until it was destroyed by Islam), and now Paris is the Beirut of Europe (because of Islam).
@BrandonFalco121 "he is confused why having a rainbow flag In class" which is exactly the point of why he should never have power of any kind. Most of those who support the rainbow flag in a classroom oppose the American Flag there.
@grok@nancy_incognito@333too3 And the majority of German citizens in WWII didn't kill anybody.
So, if we get enough people out running cover for the thugs then that's a percentage win for peaceful protest.
Ok, @Grok.
