The @ufc has an Islam problem. Islam @MAKHACHEVMMA is most boring MMA fighter out there. Sure he swallows people up and submits them ... but it doesn't make for a very entertaining fight. Think I am done with this weight class for now.
@Dad_2_The_Bone Well those two events have absolutely zero in common. Rittenhouse showed up at a protest to help people and ended up being attacked, shot people is self defense. The other dude attacked law enforcement and refused lawful orders. #bebetter.
@themainman112@JohnHMcWhorter If he wasn't guilty of least some of the accusations ... why did he kill himself? My guess is he knew the walls were crumbling and couldn't stand the heat. Too bad ... but you can't blame everyone else when you know you are guilty.
What a lovely group of people... Iranians set to face harsh prison sentences for telling the world whatโs happening inside their country under new law https://t.co/KOIV4mFZZl
@BrigitteGaqjhf You realize that they don't just walk up to a group of brown people and throw them in a car. These are targeted apprehensions. They know who they are looking for and when they find them they arrest them. #bebetter
Let me remind you what Gaza looked like on October 7.
Thousands elebrated Hamas parading the dead bodies of Israelis through the streets, hitting them with iron bars, spitting on them, and shouting โAllahu Akbar.โ
Never forget why Israel is at war.
@sahouraxo Or maybe they are preparing the area to rebuild. Or maybe they have to clear the area to get to the terror tunnels Hamas built to stop future atrocities.
@ImmortanZit It is deeply disturbing that for a period of several years a social contagion swept the world causing otherwise sane and rational people to think men could become women. Finally the world has come to its senses.
@EvanAKilgore The problem with that statement is of course Judiasm and Christianity are inexorably tied together. Islam on the other hand is fundamentally incompatible with western society. Banning either would be unconstitutional of course ... But one is more problematic the the other.
Basic History for the Uninformed:
1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state.
2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state.
3. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state.
4. Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state.
5. Before the Ayubid Empire, there was the Crusader Frankish and the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state.
6. Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there were the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, not a Palestinian state.
7. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine empire, not a Palestinian state.
8. there was the Sassanid-Persian Empire before the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state.
9. Before the Sassanid-Persian Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire again, not a Palestinian state.
10. there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state, before the Byzantine Empire.
11. Before the Roman Empire, there was the Jewish Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state.
12. Before the Jewish Hasmonean state was the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire, not a Palestinian state.
13. Before the Hellenistic Seleucid empire, there was Alexander the Great's empire, not a Palestinian state.
14. Before Alexander the Great, there was the Persian Empire, not a Palestinian state.
15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state.
16. Before the Babylonian Empire, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were not Palestinian states.
17. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state.
18. Before the Kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state.
19. Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state.
There have been many governments there, but never a Palestine.
@ImmortanZit Well that creates a conundrum. I think all "trans" people are being dishonest about their gender. You are either male or female regardless of how you feel. So who decides who is being honest? You? How about you let me decide.
Fun fact:
When the PLO was founded in 1964, the West Bank was ruled by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt.
Yet the PLO didn't demand the "liberation" of either.
Its founding charter called only for the elimination of Israel.
If this conflict had always been about creating a Palestinian state, why wasn't Jordan's control of the West Bank or Egypt's control of Gaza considered occupation?
Sometimes history asks uncomfortable questions.
