I think Gen Z is (appropriately) angry because school shootings have become so common that we CAN’T memorialize them all the way we do with 9/11. COVID also isn’t memorialized in any coordinated way. What they don’t grasp is that THEY can MAKE that a thing, if they want to.
If you were not old enough to comprehend what happened or even alive on 9/11, you just don't understand how bad things can get in a hurry. The worst day was 9/12, because you realized it wasn't a nightmare.
A Jew wants to sell land to a Palestinian? No problem.
A Palestinian wants to sell land to a Jew? The penalty is death.
In April 2009, a Palestinian Authority military court sentenced Anwar Brigith, 59, to death by hanging. His crime? Selling land to Jews.
Three PA security-officer judges used laws that forbid sale to “the enemy.” The decision was unanimous with no option to appeal. The property was confiscated, and the sentence needed Mahmoud Abbas’s signature.
The PA’s chief Islamic judge had just issued another fatwa banning sale of land or houses to Jews. Hatem Abdel Kader, a Fatah legislator from Jerusalem, told the Jerusalem Post he fully supported the death sentence against “traitors” who sell land to Jews and wanted more of them.
Official hangings have been rare. The usual enforcement is quieter: kidnapping, torture, and murder. The sentence is the point: any Jewish title anywhere in the Land is treated as an existential crime.
Jews spent a century buying land, often at inflated prices, from willing Arab sellers. The Palestinian Authority made the transaction itself a capital offense.
A movement that kills its own people for a bill of sale is not arguing about a border. It is enforcing a principle against any Jewish land ownership.
Wrong! I'm a Black woman that lives in America and I don't owe Gaza or Palestinians a damn thing other than dust. My empathy has turned to apathy. I'm not deflecting anything.
@reesetheone1 The worst part is that everything they do helps his chances. He and the ghouls he got into bed with while he was in opposition need to go.
When I taught chol, on 9/11 I’d show a 2 hours documentary that’s just real time footage from the day that starts a couple of minutes before the first plane hits the towers.
They usually came in thinking of 9/11 as a meme, but it wouldn’t take long for silence to become heavy.
GREAT point.
It's so important to be able to measure and compare bad things.
Defenders of the greatest wrongdoing will always try to set a conversation around both sides to diffuse blame.
It's not fair. It's always a permission structure for the worst actor to get away with worse
@soulkhan Americans kill up to 1 million babies a year.
Even if you claim 90% is valid that means you kill 100,000 innocent children.
Stop projecting your sick crimes on Jews no one tricked by it khan
Cuts to USAID have killed over 500,000 children under 5 in sub Sahara Africa.
The US & this administration is actually the most prolific killer of children.
But these children are Black, so y'all be looking the other way.
And they still can’t tell us OR explain how we are still on the plantation lol because we support candidates that actually GET SHIT DONE?!! And they support radical assholes who have ZERO ACCOMPLISHMENTS and no logic or common sense behind their radicalness?! ANYBODY can recite a written lovely speech or repeat slogans but it takes a TALENT to actually get things accomplished and NONE of those DSA hoes are talented.
@VergenceS@tatertotsconor@InitialGlittler Do you know 25 yrs ago we were aghast the government could look at what library books we read?
Can you even imagine that? Our mail was private. We had actual, real privacy, which is essential to a Democracy.
Our constant surveillance state is directly bc of the Patriot Act
Here's why Rula, Waj, and the rest of the left's MASK OFF moment was so disturbing and what has been disturbing about the last few years after October 7:
Black American Democrats were ALWAYS going to be the path to liberation in the US for Palestinians .
From a policy standpoint, the white Gentiles of the far left will get none of the policy goals they've set out to accomplish if they spend all of their time getting the world's people to openly despise Jewish people and subsequently Black people.
They can't do both.
