@VTHistory25@theoldzealand My guess would be that VAR is in action at the World Cup, and theres a lot of players who wouldn't have experience playing with it and need to learn quick that theres things they can no longer get away with.
@joshxhowie Hi Josh, would it be possible that the organisers only announced this following the discussions Sadiq had with the Police which he is referencing here? Gush Etzion was only de listed from the event on Tuesday this week.
@hearnimator The discussions he had were probably prior to the event host removing west bank settlement property from the listings, something they only did on Tuesday this week.
@BaggooAlan@RGRapscallion@KosherChutzpah Hey man don’t forget the Assyrians and the Babylonians. But ethnic cleansing in the context of those larger empires is not the same as systematically removing a people from a land with zero care as to where they go. The Babylonians relocated Jews primarily to its capital Babylon.
@mantistrader@RockyMnt_Mary@EYakoby Yes the pro-American position is literally that ‘we are actual elective terrorists who call the people who resist us terrorists.’
@SirDavidChase@JillTatios29@EYakoby The Shah died in July 1980, Carter had attempted and failed a military rescue attempt so it was more a humiliation of him to sign the Algiers Accords the day before Reagans inaugaration, I know my facts, you’re the dumb one here who thinks the Shah was alive and healthy.
@antonwahlman@EYakoby In the midst of the point about the embassy someone shouted out ‘they bombed our barracks’ which I would guess confused which topic was being discussed, everyone in the debate is right wing so lacking the ability to think beyond ideological positions.
@RockyMnt_Mary@mantistrader@EYakoby This is the honest position, the reality is the US is an imperialist nation that wants to dominate other states, the issue is when if a country resists such domination it is used to paint said country as some sort of aggressor when it isn’t.
@RockyMnt_Mary@RageEndlessWars@EYakoby If the Afghans said Bin Laden had cancer and would not turn him over to the Americans do you think that would’ve stopped the US invading Afghanistan?
@SirDavidChase@JillTatios29@EYakoby They wanted to trade the embassy staff for the Shah who had been taken out of the country, the US valued the shah as an asset over all of the embassy staff, they eventually released them all after the Shah had died. The embassy was full of CIA operatives.
@carp_cook@wil_da_beast630 The renaissance and western philosophy came to be largely because of the Islamic world, the works of Aristotle et al were recovered from the Byzantines, translated into Arabic, then into Latin, much of this work was eventually destroyed by the Mongols, but remained in the west.
@FarAlessandro@CallItMedusa@pl_european Sure, you might as well say it’s not a defenceless territory because there’s people using slings and throwing spears as well.
The point is what you stated, there is no comparison, people are trying to equate them, which needs to be opposed.
@CallItMedusa@FarAlessandro@pl_european The naming and shaming of Ireland is specifically because they are against the genocide in Gaza, the narrative is attempting to equate a nation defending itself with a nation unable to defend itself, to undermine support for the nation unable to defend itself.
@dorkpolice@pl_european You believe there is a genocide being committed by both Israel and Russia? Russia may well have intent to commit genocide, but they are unable to, because Ukraine is able to defend itself, the Palestinians are not.
@RaymondRowan7 I jumped into the topic because it was mass retweeted by pro-Israel talking about double standards again, I think the video has been cut and manipulated and is overall a pretty disingenuous misrepresentation.
@XGingerCat There weren’t ‘native’ though, the ones expelled were the recent arrivals from the Zionist aliyahs, you aren’t making any point here. Ben Gurion was born in Poland, just peddling bullshit narratives.
