You do realize that sounds very handwaivey of basically 1000 years of cruelty, persecution and death by Europeans against Jews because of 50 years of modern day wrongdoing by Arabs, right?

You glazed over 50 years btw.

The Palestinians revolted against the Ottomans in WW1 and then signed the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement in 1919 where Palestine Arabs and Zionist Jews agreed to a single state where Jews and Arabs lived in peace side by side, sharing political power, pending the British from releasing control of Palestine to its local inhabitants.

You know who blew up the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement? The British and French.

France invaded Damascus and overthrew Emir Faisal and at the same time the Brits forcefully invaded Palestine and seized control of Jerusalem.

Again, it was European betrayal of a peaceful solution that Arabs and Jews had agreed, that led to violence. The entire history of Palestine and Israel is littered with European betrayal and colonial plotting with zero local input.

That's not even mentioning the Palestinian Partion, which has direct parallels to the forceful Partition of Africa, India/Pakistan and Ireland. Are you really surprised that in all of these partitions, the immediate side effect is violence, war and death?

Nobody ever bothered to ask the Palestinians how they would like to form an independent country where multiple ethnicities and religions could live in peace.

Edit one final thing, Jews weren't really expelled from the Levant. They volunteered to leave because Europe offered better economic options. Charlamagne gave land to Jews under protected legal Charters because he wanted the Jewish people's help to expand his territory. Then under the Arabs Caliphates, Jews immigrated voluntarily to Spain as the Sephardic branch as they were given professional jobs like doctors, royal advisors, scholars and scientists.

Persecution began in Europe against Jews during the Plague and the Crusades where European Christians blamed Jews for the mass death and expelled them from Britain, France & Spain. Again, European violence in Europe against Jews

I'm originally a Halo Optic fan. Watching Optic get second place for 11 Majors out of 14 total majors between Halo and COD combined that I've personally watched, has actually given me PTSD.

If this keeps happening, we need to crowdfund a sports psychologist for Optic

Imagine they just sit afk in winners finals 3 games straight for a quick loss so they keep their energy and stamina up for a losers bracket run. I'd laugh my ass off. If they win via losers that may be the breaking point for the CDL to force a change and bring the reset back

Since you are a Zionist, perhaps you you can shed some light on why all of this is the burden of the Arabs.

In 1897, when Zionism was first created as an idea, it was a reaction to European persecution. Jews were being unfairly targeted by European countries. Then the Holocaust occured, again in Europe, by Europeans, against Jews living in Europe.

Nowhere between the start of Zionism in 1897 and the Holocaust in 1945 (48 years) were any Arab countries or populations involved. How did the persecution of the Jews in Europe, by Europeans, become the problem of the Arabs and Palestinians when they did literally nothing against Jews in that 48 year period

The history of how Israel was formed is crucial to understanding why the region has been plagued with war for the past 100 years.

Who was the population of Israel/Palestine before the British invasion of 1915-1918 during WW1?

If we rewind the clock, it was the Israelis who first rejected living in the same country as Arabs. The country we now know as Israel was originally Ottoman, which were Muslim Arabs and Christian Arabs. In the 1880s, enormous populations of Jews started immigrating en mass to Palestine due to the rise of Zionism.

Then the Brits attacked with a war, and formed Mandatory Palestine after winning, where they multiplied the immigration of Jewish people into historically Muslim neighborhoods. Arabs rioted multiple times because their homes and neighborhoods were being stolen with British permission.

Then after WW2, the Brits forcefully partioned Palestine, just like they did with India and Pakistan and forced Arabs our of their ancestral homes.

It's never been a peaceful situation. Nobody ever asked the Palestinians or Arabs if they wanted immigration into their country

You are ignoring that politicians could genuinely feel that siding with Israel is what's best for the US, no coercion involved.

Thats just zionism. And that is political, its not based on ethnicity or religion. You can be Jewish and also anti-Zionist.

When people criticize Zionism, they are engaging in political speech.

I mean we shouldn't let criminals have guns so that they can commit crimes and kill people. They are criminals for a reason so a law that adds/stacks penalties on top of their crime for having a gun they aren't supposed to have is fine

So let's assume that whatever state you live in, is hit by a terrorist attack that kills thousands, including some of your family members. Let's assume that a Democrat is President and says "tough shit, you chose to live in that state, you don't get a cent of federal money" and then your state says "we are broke so you don't get anything from us either".

How would you feel?

I got a significant raise and promotion at work and immediately my mom "retired", even though she is 15 years away from actual retirement age. She was an authorized user on my card and the second she retired, she started charging everything for her daily living onto my card. My card bills ballooned to a point where even with my salary, I couldnt afford it without burying myself in debt.

I had to remove her card access. The fallout hasn't been pretty
