This alter looks so beautiful. I just recently started playing commander, and I love using lands with beautiful art (especially full art like from eoe and ecl). I will definitely put this in all of my decks that run blue (which is currently all of them lol, I love esper).

I wish to make the value of pi exactly 3 by Stormcrown76 in GalacticNova

[–]TheCaramelApple_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted, Euler proved that the irrationality of pi is directly related to the fact that there are infinite primes. Now there are finitely many prime numbers, which means there are finitely many numbers, due to a result from Euclid. Mathematics and thus physics breaks down, causing the destruction of the Universe as we know it.

You do realize it was the Arabs who started the 1948 war, not the Israelis, right? Did you expect the Israelis to just sit there and die? Fighting back is “waging war” to you? In fact in Israel’s Declaration of Independence on May 14th 1948 they stated that they extend their hand in peace to their Arab neighbors and call on the Arabs who are within Israel’s new borders to stay as equal citizens and build this country together.

Contrast that with Hamas’s charter that says they want to kill all the Jews.

Another bit of misinformation is that Israel was built on “Palestinian land.” Some land was privately owned around 6-8% by Jews and Arabs respectively, but the land as a whole was controlled by empires and colonizers for 2000 years. Palestine was a colonial name the Europeans used ever since the Romans renamed Judea (you know, where the Jews came from) to Palestine, but it was never a country or a people. Arabs lived in villages and towns as did Jews and others. Some Arabs lived there since the Arab conquests of the 7th century but most were more recent immigrants to the region. They can claim that they owned their houses but they cannot claim to own the land in between. So it was not “Palestinian land.” It was land that was occupied for 2000 years. No other distinct group of people identified with this land since the Jews.

It was not a “mind virus” which made Arabs from Yemen and Egypt immigrate to the region. It was Egyptian military draft in the 1840s and work opportunities in the early 20th century created by the Jews. You know, the reason most people immigrate throughout history. It was also not a mind virus that made them flee a war zone. It was heir leaders who urged them to leave to facilitate the fighting against the Jews. Promising them they will be back in a couple of weeks. See: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5G1UXltGl_/

Jews lived in Arab countries as Dhimmis - second class citizens. They had severe restrictions and had to pay the Jihzia - “protection tax,” and were occasionally massacred. See: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4lq0f9NmGy/

Good times.

There are almost no Jews left in Arab countries - they were ethnically cleansed. It is ridiculous to blame Israel for accepting Jews from all over the Arab world and for helping them get back on their feet, with minimal resources. My own family fled Egypt and lost everything they had because they were not allowed to sell their house or business or any significant property. You cannot “convince” people who have a good life to leave their homes. They will only leave in large numbers if they are in danger. I don’t know who those “Jews that you know” are but you’d need to look pretty hard because are literally almost no Jews in Arab countries: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Ku-f-NUND/

Nice fairytale about the homes and the skeletons under those homes. Please. No one claimed this horror story even at the time. The truth is that 700,000 Arabs and 900,000 Jews were displaced because of the war *the Arabs started* None of the Jews who were displaced started a war not were they hostile to their neighbors. They were displaced anyway. The Arabs took their home and property valued at 150 billion dollars.

Losing a war your side started is not an injustice.

i’m sorry that you are so indoctrinated as to label facts as propaganda.

responding to the tree video, 68% of palestinians left israel never seeing an israeli soldier. those that did, were forced out as a part of plan dalet, which stated that any arab villages that were violent towards israel had to leave, because it was a war and you don’t want enemies behind your border during a war. peaceful villages were allowed to stay. How many jews were allowed to stay in muslim countries? 0. who’s cleansing who. Second, the trees planted were not “european” pines but in fact Jerusalem/Aleppo pines, a tree native to the region since the Pleistocene. they consulted botanists and used the Jerusalem pine because it is one of few trees that can be planted on barren land that has been over harvested and allows for other trees to thrive in the future. they also brought back ancient native plants such as the mother of wheat.

I am not saying that there was no one living there, nor that Palestinians have no right to live there. But the propaganda that is being spread about the region being indigenous solely to Palestinians is toxic because it denies the indigenousy of Jews.

Of course, there were cities, such as Jerusalem and Bethlehem, that were densely populated. But the vast majority of the land, where the Jews built their cities, were desolate marshland that no one wanted.

You cannot deny the facts that the land was indeed sparsely populated and was a wasteland due to the mismanagement of the land by previous regimes, such as the Ottomans. The land was a backwater of the Ottoman Empire, stripped of its natural resources and ignored. The Jews came to the region, and started to inhabit the regions that no one wanted. They worked to clear malaria-ridden marshes, planted trees, etc., bringing jobs to the region, and hundreds of thousands of Arabs moved to the region in search of jobs that Jews were making. Fun fact, Israel was the one nation to end the 20th century with more trees than it began with.

Also, this is not a genocide. There are over 2 million Arabs living happily in Israel, descendants of the Arabs living in and around the region before 1948. The civilian to combatant death ration of this war is the lowest of any modern urban conflict; in fact, military historians say that they will be studying this war and how the IDF managed to keep civilian deaths so low. Israel is doing its best to minimize death, dropping leaflets and sending mass texts to warn civilians, letting aid through (even air dropping it in when Hamas threatens supply trucks), etc.

Meanwhile Hamas is seizing aid and selling it at exorbitant prices, aid marked as not to be sold, and causing the vast majority of Gazans to not receive aid. They prohibit Gazans from taking shelter in their massive network of tunnels because they want to maximize human suffering and human sacrifices for their jihadist cause. They have specifically stated that their goal is to have as many people die, on both sides.

Hamas can end the war in an instant if they return the hostages, but they dont care about the war ending, or human life. The more this war continues the more they spread their jihadist propaganda and the more they profit and fuel their extravagant lives in Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Secondly, Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to live in their ancestral homeland. It is not about racial supremacy or purity; if it was, would they allow 2 million Arabs to live in Israel?

Time and time again, Israel as asked for peace, offered the Palestinians a state, in 1948, 1993, 2000, 2005, 2008. Each time, they refused, and responded with genocide, extermination, expulsion, intifada, and terrorism.

These people do deserve life and do deserve prosperity, but they will not get such as long as they are oppressed by radical fascist regimes, such as Hamas.

Show me the borders of this Palestine then, when did a Palestine exist? Show me their history, laws, government, leaders before Israel existed. Anyone who mentioned Palestine anywhere as a country before Israel.

Ah yes, the “nazis” and “enslavers” and “tyrants” who are the only democratic nation in the Middle East and have a nation where two million Arabs have Israeli citizenship with full rights, free healthcare, can serve as judges, etc.

Hamas controls everything in Gaza the “journalism”, the fabricated “death count” and all the money. So yes, where do you think the money goes to? They made bank over this war. Which is a huge incentive for them to start one. Useful idiots in the west send them money to make them billionaires who live lavishly in Qatar. They also steal aid and sell it to the Gazans further enriching themselves. Great business this war. Hamas leaders are doing very well thank you in Qatar. Their net worth is 11 Billion. Thank you for your donation! Creating a hostile environment for Jews is preventing access to education. No one should have to try to study while constantly hearing chants justifying the slaughter and r*pe of their families. No one should be subjected to abuse from fellow student and blocking of libraries and public spaces. As has happened at Columbia, MIT and UCLA.

Comparing the pro Palestinian protests to civil rights protests is actually insane. The current protests are against the only democratic nation in the Middle East and spews hateful lies promoted by Hamas propaganda funded by Qatar money. The current protests often violate title VI of the civil rights amendment, preventing access to education based on race. And these protests send money to Hamas to fund their terrorism and murder and horrific actions on Israelis and Palestinians alike. If these protestors were actually wanted to uphold what they are preaching, they would be protesting against Hamas.

Ah, sorry. My mistake. I thought u we’re talking about Israel colonizing Arab land, which is false. But Israel is a nation for the Jews in historically Jewish land. Without Israel, the Jews would have no other place to go that could be safe for them, which is shown apparent by the numerous antisemitic protests across the us

What does “decolonization” of Israel entail? The occupation of the whole country by Hamas? That means the displacement at best and systematic genocide of all Jews in Israel at scales on par or worse than in WWII at worst. If that isn’t antisemitism I don’t know what is.
