@TLCarefree@Abdulherphyz@MaxBlumenthal "The land that I assigned to Abraham and Isaac I assign to you"
"The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed"
"...all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting holding"
The original Hebrew actually says "Do not murder". There's a semantic difference. And the tenth commandment says not to covet your neighbor's possessions. Of course, you have to agree on whom the land belongs to if you want to invoke that, and the Torah has quite a lot to say about that.
@VerminusM I was thinking the other day how no one in Puerto Rico or Guam can vote in US elections despite living in US territory, and no one ever calls the US an apartheid state.
@WestsideLAGuy She didn't deserve anywhere near this much explanation.
I'm guessing he was trying to wine and dine her rather than just taking her to the nearest bar to his apartment.
Btw the vast majority of "Palestinians" can't prove any ancestry on Israeli land even back one generation. They're all from neighboring countries: Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, Jordan... they're literally just foreign Muslim invaders. Historical census figures also show that they're virtually all descendants of illegal immigrants who arrived within the past century.
@cherutLmoledet It's both. We are connected to the land through our ancestors and our religion, and we're returning from the diaspora precisely because the land is our home.
@MurrayHillGuy1 Text her back. Tell her you've reconsidered and you'll go on a date with her to L'Artusi if she sends you a car and pays the check. If it's not a big deal then she should have no problem paying! Especially since she has a great career.
@RedGnosis@growing_daniel >Too arrogant to even consider this a possibility. If they did consider this, it would mean admitting that they were in the wrong for over 2000 years.
Are you talking about Jews or Christians?
