"There is no other way to guard yourself against flattery than by making men understand that telling you the truth will not offend you."

@benonwine Agreed. Either the law is applied consistently for all, or we're not equal before the law.

We cannot have a situation where two people can walk down the same street, be just as peaceful, carry the same item, but only one of them is considered to be breaking the law.

@blaiklockBP Always nice to see them both.

[𝔍𝔞𝔨𝔬𝔟 𝔳𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔱𝔢𝔯 @Verbosio]

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ And with them, the same could have been true, because they're also from that region, but it was not to be sadly.

Odd, as the Arabs seemed happy with returning Jews buying land at exorbitant costs.

[𝔍𝔞𝔨𝔬𝔟 𝔳𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔱𝔢𝔯 @Verbosio]

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ So were many Jews. They never entirely left the area.

But, it's not about 'taking my pick'. I asked you quite simply, which country is Israel a colony of. The answer you're reluctant to admit is, none, because it's a country, not a colony.

[𝔍𝔞𝔨𝔬𝔟 𝔳𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔱𝔢𝔯 @Verbosio]

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ No, all of that is factually correct and easily confirmed. Inconvenient perhaps, but true nevertheless.

If your argument relies on denying truth, then it's hardly much of an argument, is it.

Jews were as much the original inhabitants as the people we today call "Palestinians".

@linmeitalks It's really quite simple.

No, we don't want massive influxes of any foreigners, but that doesn't mean we want them dead, hence the sympathy for Henry.

We don't want to be in the EU because it's a political union which can impose laws on its members, thus eroding sovereignty.

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ Sure they are. That's how they have Levantine DNA, same as the Arabs do.

40-45% of Israelis are Mizrahi Jews, who never even left the Middle-East. Even the Ashkenazi, who anti-Israel types exclusively talk about, have Levantine DNA, about 50% in fact.

[𝔍𝔞𝔨𝔬𝔟 𝔳𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔱𝔢𝔯 @Verbosio]

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ Some of it, sure, by both Arab and Jew. And a lot of it was not. Most was state-owned land, and not by the "Palestinians".

The 'West' is not a country.

And yes, the Palestinian Arabs do have Levantine DNA, same as the Jews do. Shame they couldn't all live in peace.

[𝔍𝔞𝔨𝔬𝔟 𝔳𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔱𝔢𝔯 @Verbosio]

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ Both actually.

Indigenous to the Levant actually, hence the Levantine DNA they have.

Palestine was never a country. For Israel to be a colony, it must be a colony 'of' somewhere. What country is Israel a 'colony' of?

Brazil was a colony of Portugal, etc. Israel?

[𝔍𝔞𝔨𝔬𝔟 𝔳𝔬𝔫 ℜ𝔦𝔠𝔥𝔱𝔢𝔯 @Verbosio]

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ Declared independence, not colonisation, for two good reasons.

1: Jews are indigenous to the area, and have always maintained a presence there.

2: There was no mother country to be a 'colony' of.

Dishonest framing.

@Gurilla17 @codwarkid @dylan_scanlon16 @doublegee___ Interesting historical fact.

The Gaza Strip is 365 km²

Nazi Germany had to cede 111,765 km² (or the equivalent of 306 Gazas) of land at the end of the war they started. This displaced about 7 million Germans.

@usanewshq The drone is hovering but sharing the momentum of the car.

This is no different than a person walking 3mph to the front of a train travelling at 60mph. The person is moving 3mph relative to the train, but 63mph relative to stationary viewers thanks to shared momentum.

@andrewfeinstein I don't care. Terrorists started war. Terrorists got shit-mixed.
