@grok What is Israel doing to protect its civilians, including children (in terms of the number of shelters, alert systems, etc.), and what are the Palestinians in Gaza doing to protect their civilians? How do these two different approaches reflect on the number of civilian deaths on both sides?
@IraninSA Of course, you invested too much money in the terrorist group that destroyed Lebanon to let it all go. Tell us something we don't know. You are not worried about Lebanon, but about your investment.
@s_m_marandi How many are killed in Iran every day just because they want a democratic society? So stop acting. People who kill their own people certainly don't care about other people.
@DrMartinGak A map that serves to show everyone that idiots who don't know they're idiots are fucking idiots. Have you heard of demographics? The Greater Cairo area has about 23 million inhabitants. There are about 16 million Jews in the world. That says it all about that stupid map.
@piersmorgan@realDonaldTrump And you think Israeli citizens should suffer attacks by a terrorist organization? Why? Would you suffer them or would you expect your government to do something?
Never Forget what Muslim Palestinians did on October 7th to innocent men women wives husbands disabled children with their father brother and sisters teenagers international students Arab security guards first responders and many more at a music festival.
@s_m_marandi Yeah right. The only one trying to blackmail by putting pressure on the global economy is your criminal regime. But that too will come to an end, and quickly.
One of the biggest problems in discussions about Israel is that most people have never heard of the Cairo Geniza.
And yet it may be one of the most devastating pieces of evidence against many of the myths surrounding the conflict.
The Cairo Geniza was a storage room in a synagogue in Egypt where Jews deposited old documents for nearly a thousand years. When scholars finally examined its contents, they discovered roughly 300,000 manuscript fragments dating from the 9th to the 19th centuries.
Not religious texts - Real life:
Letters.
Contracts.
Tax receipts.
Court cases.
Business records.
Marriage agreements.
Personal correspondence.
In other words, not propaganda.
Not nationalist history.
Not modern politics.
The actual paperwork of ordinary people living a thousand years ago.
And what does it show?
First, it destroys the claim that Jews are foreign colonists with no historical connection to the land.
The Geniza contains countless references to Jewish communities in Jerusalem, Hebron, Tiberias, Safed, Ramle, Acre, and other towns throughout the Land of Israel.
Before the twentieth century.
Before Herzl.
Before Zionism.
Centuries before any of those things existed.
The documents show Jewish pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem, donations being sent to Jewish communities there, rabbis corresponding with scholars in the land, and families moving between Egypt and the Land of Israel.
The connection never disappeared.
It never had to be "invented."
Second, it shows that Jewish identity remained tied to the land even after centuries of exile.
The Jews of Cairo, Baghdad, Yemen, Morocco, and Spain did not view Jerusalem as some distant historical curiosity.
They viewed it as the center of their civilization.
A place they prayed toward.
A place they supported financially.
A place many hoped to return to.
Long before modern nationalism was invented.
Third, it destroys the fantasy that Jews and Muslims lived in some utopian age of perfect coexistence before Zionism arrived and ruined everything.
The Geniza records periods of cooperation and prosperity.
But it also records jizya taxes, discrimination, legal inequality, extortion, restrictions, persecution, and the vulnerability of Jewish communities living as dhimmis under Islamic rule.
The reality of a subordinate minority.
Forth, the Geniza also challenges another popular myth: that Hebrew was a "dead language" resurrected out of nowhere by Zionists.
The Geniza contains countless Hebrew documents - letters, contracts, legal rulings, religious texts, poetry, and correspondence between communities separated by thousands of miles.
For centuries, Jews used Hebrew as a common civilizational language connecting communities from Morocco to Iraq and from Yemen to Jerusalem.
Eliezer Ben-Yehuda did not resurrect a dead language. He transformed an ancient, continuously used literary and religious language into a modern spoken one.
The Cairo Geniza proves that Hebrew never disappeared. It evolved, adapted, and survived long before modern Zionism emerged.
Fifth, it reminds us how sparsely populated and underdeveloped much of the region was before modern times.
The Land of Israel was not some densely populated "Palestinian" nation-state waiting to emerge. It was part of a larger Ottoman and earlier Islamic world, with small communities of Muslims, Christians, Jews, Druze, Bedouins, and others living across the region, that was vastly abandoned.
Perhaps most importantly, the Geniza reveals something that infuriates modern anti-Zionists:
The Jews never left history.
The Jewish people did not disappear from the land.
They did not forget Jerusalem.
They did not suddenly arrive from Europe one day and invent a connection.
The connection is documented continuously across centuries by the people who actually lived it.
It proves that the story told by activists - that European Jews arrived in a foreign land with no roots there - is historically indefensible.
The Cairo Geniza is thousands of voices speaking across a millennium.
And together they tell a story that modern ideologues desperately wish did not exist:
The Jewish connection to the Land of Israel was not created by Zionism.
Zionism was created because that connection never died.
@mopsron O da! I preko svih tih debilnih izjava/savjeta nekako prijeđem, ali kad mi svaki put kad psa liječimo počnu s - zašto ju ne uspavate samo mučite životinju, e onda skroz flipnem.
The internet is back in Iran.
Now the world is seeing what the regime tried to hide. Many of these protesters never came home.
Watch. Share. Don't stay silent.
BREAKING: Watch the Israeli police evacuate another Palestinian family who built a house with no permits…oh wait, sorry, this is the Israeli police removing a JEWISH family who built a house with no permits
That’s why you don’t see this video spreading around, because pro palis don’t want people to see that Israel tears down illegal housing, regardless of your ethnicity
