@Upwork I have messaged, emailed I don't know what to do you won't let me access my account or change my password. There's a contract I need to end and I can't do it. Contact me before I take legal action.
@MasterMaliq Self serving. Mohammed's revelations always come and serve him personally. It's inconsistent in it's beliefs with one Hadith contradicting a different one blatantly. And let's not forget that it has very easily become the religion held by the majority of terrorists in the world.
Herodotus did NOT describe a “modern Palestine,” contrary to what the anti-Israel narrative claims. Here is why their claim is historically false and morally wrong.
In Histories Book 4.39, Herodotus wrote: “The region I am describing skirts our sea [the Mediterranean], stretching from Phoenicia along the coast of Palestine-Syria till it comes to Egypt, where it terminates.”
Key facts 🔑
- He was explicitly describing the coastal strip — the seaboard from Phoenicia southward to Egypt. Not the inland hill country.
- The major Jewish cities and territories (Jerusalem, Hebron, Bethel, Shechem, Samaria, etc.) were inland, in the regions known as Yehud (Judea) and Samaria. These were the historic heartland of the Jewish people under Persian rule.
- Herodotus barely mentions the interior because his focus (and travels) emphasized coastal geography and Persian satrapies.
- Josephus (1st century CE Jewish historian) explicitly acknowledged this. He understood Herodotus’ “Syrians of Palestine” (Book 2.104, in the context of circumcision) as a reference that included the Jews, even though Herodotus used the broad regional Greek term. Josephus and Philo generally reserved “Palestine” for the coastal/Philistine areas, preferring Judea for the Jewish heartland.
Context of Herodotus’ time (c. 450 BCE) 📚
- This was the Persian (Achaemenid) period. The Jewish return from Babylonian exile had begun under Cyrus (538 BCE), but Yehud was still small and re-populating the province (est. ~30,000) which we know happened by the time of Jesus.
- No Arab or Islamic presence existed — those came over 1,000 years later (7th century CE). “Palestine” (Palaistinê) was a Greek geographical term derived from the ancient Philistines (Peleset), applied by outsiders to the Levant coast. It had nothing to do with Arabic, Islamic, or modern national identity.
Herodotus used a classical Greek label for a Mediterranean coastal district in the Persian Empire. He did not validate a sovereign “Palestine” nation separate from Jewish history. The inland Jewish heartland (Judea/Samaria), with its Temple in Jerusalem, was central to Jewish identity then, as it had been for centuries before and thousands of years after.
The name game doesn’t erase the Jewish people who lived there and whose entire identity was formed there.
The Land of Israel is historic and modern. 🇮🇱✡️
This is one of the things I find hilarious about the Quran.
Surah 8:41 came down after Badr. They had already fought, won and were arguing over the spoils. Then the revelation arrived with distribution rules.
God gave Moses a complete and comprehensive legal system at Sinai 50 days after they left Egypt. Criminal law, property rights, inheritance procedure. All for scenarios that had not happened yet. The one reactive episode in Torah is the daughters of Zelophehad, which expanded inheritance rights downward to people who had none. The Torah never created a personal exemption for Moses.
The Quran does the opposite. The revelation tracks desire. Muhammad wants to marry his adopted son’s divorced wife: the verse arrives and collapses the Arab prohibition on such marriages. He needs to manage spoils from a battle just fought: God speaks. He needs cover for a slave relationship: God speaks. He needs guests to stop lingering at his dinner table: God speaks.
Aisha watched this from inside the household and said to Muhammed “Your Lord does not hesitate to meet your desires.” That is in the Sahih Bukhari. His most beloved wife (child bride) made the same structural observation that it seemed like revelation always came to conveniently bail him out or meet his wild desires.
Islam insists Allah is eternal, complete, and has boundless knowledge. No new information reaches Him. If that is true, He knew before creation that Badr was coming and that the spoils question would follow. Why did He not send Gabriel with a comprehensive legal framework as He did with Moses?
The first prophet gets a God who legislates for a future his people haven’t lived yet. The so called final prophet gets a God who speaks when it is convenient for one man. Very fishy.
@IhabHassane Question. You know what he meant how? Tehran is the capital of Iran so he could have meant irgc headquarters for example. Your blatant bias is showing Ihab. I can't believe that you've made me defend Ben Gvir. That's how bad your rhetoric has become.
@IhabHassane Factually incorrect. Gaza was offered to Egypt when they signed peace with Israel they didn't want it. Jordans annexation of the west bank was never recognized so the previous sovereign were the United Kingdom or perhaps the defunct Ottoman empire. Both don't have claim snymlre
@IhabHassane The fact that the west bank and Gaza were not governed by any Nation, Jordan annexation no being recognized when they were conquered invalidates the occupied territories clause of the fourth Geneva convention. Or at the very least that argument can be made.
Lebonese MP, yes in Lebanon talks about the precautions the IDF takes.
Oh my gosh I was shocked that his assessment doesn’t match Podcadistan.
Oh what the heck does he know. He’s only in Lebanon living it. The podcasters have like headsets and mics and stuff.
This clip is a master class by @Jacob_Rees_Mogg who elegantly snookered @cenkuygur regarding conflating the state of Israel and Jewish people.
Look how Cenk gone wild, while still shouting “Israeeeel”
Hilarious ….
@IhabHassane Actually that isn't what it means factually. Most of Judea and Samaria is empty. So whole one can argue that every settler home pushes back the two state solution there is not a Palestinian home destroyed for every settler home. I'm disappointed by the lack of integrity.
