@realMaalouf You’re making it sound like these two stories are connected, but Duffy never said the people who kidnapped her had anything to do with Pakistan. It kinda feels like you’re using her story to make a different point
@PausayVuelta@susanabulhawa Dude, you can’t take their culture away from them. You’re erasing the fact that Mizrahi Jews have been part of the Middle East for centuries
@golan4840@Awk20000 Ah, that’s exactly what I wasn’t sure about, whether it was a post or just a comment in the stream chat. That makes the difference even bigger to me. Not saying that settles the legal side of it, but it does make the case against iDubbbz seem stronger
@NoaMagid To be honest, that could be one reason Hezbollah refuses to disarm. They’re probably worried about retaliation from Syrians because of their support for Assad during the civil war
@abierkhatib What a weird story. Maybe I’m missing something, but the timeline doesn’t seem very clear. In any case, she completely lost me when she said, ‘His parents were in Palestine long before the American occupation’
@GBNT1952 At the end of the day, he’s only 19. Give him a break. He did something stupid, but why make an example out of him? He’s a college kid. People that age make mistakes, and not every mistake has to follow someone for the rest of their life..
@EugeneIpavec@rahamimX If Palestinians deserve concern because they are native to the region and were displaced from their homes, why shouldn’t the displacement of Syrian Jews be viewed with the same concern?
@EugeneIpavec@rahamimX So your argument is that Syrian Jews, a community that had lived in Syria for centuries and was an integral part of Syrian society, should have been threatened with mass murder for something they themselves didn’t do?
