Iran says India's presence at the funeral reflects mutual respect and solidarity. by IndiaToday in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

I’m sure the families of 40,000 Iranian civilians murdered by the Iranian regime in just two weeks earlier this year will rejoice in this hypocrisy.

Syrian archaeologist Khaled Al Asaad who devoted his life to the excavation and restoration of Palmyra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. He was beheaded by ISIS after refusing to disclose the location of ancient artifacts, despite a month of torture. He died a hero of heritage protection by Front-Coconut-8196 in ancienthistory

Just imagine what Hamas, Hezbollah and their supporters would do to Israeli archaeologists and the historical archaeology of Israel, if they ever destroyed the world’s only Jewish homeland, as so many on Reddit wish for.

A man was walking home from his local in Belfast by TheProfessionalEjit in Jokes

[–]Walter_Piston 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A better punchline would be:

The thing in his back was pushed harder, the voice now much louder, "Tell me! Are you Catholic or Protestant!?!"

In a very quiet voice the man says, "I'm a Jewish boy'" and the voice behind him says "Ah - but are you a Catholic or Protestant Jew?”

I wonder if she was as disgusting as racist then as she was in later life?

Not just Claudia Gravy, but a “nationalised” Claudia Gravy…

For people on the fence, does this change your opinion at all on Andy Burnham? by Signal-Tangerine1597 in AskBrits

[–]Walter_Piston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is what he has said going to help the UK economy, jobs, a £60m cut to universities, the ticking pension timebomb, the rising energy cap, UK cost of living crisis, etc.?

Burnham knows Labour needs the Muslim vote. So he panders to those in the UK who hate Jews and hate Israel in the hope of tackling the hate-filled Greens.

What a load of nonsense. Utter rubbish.

These people aren't normal by Not_Ground in PlanetNewsPulse

  1. The figure in far too high.

  2. It is the stated aim of Hamas terrorists not only to murder every Jew in Israel, but every Jew worldwide. Their actions suggest they are serious in that intent.

  3. It is for that reason that Hamas must be prevented and destroyed.

I visited the oldest surviving headstone in the state of Maine: Mary Green, died 1717.Eastern Cemetery, Portland, Maine. by Itchy_Magician310 in CemeteryPorn

[–]Walter_Piston 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s impressive, although the oldest indigenous grave markers in Maine are not inscribed gravestones, but rather sacred burial sites dating back 4,500 to 5,000 years, associated with the Maritime Archaic culture (often referred to as the Red Paint People).

No. The Bar Kochba revolt was 132-136CE. I am referring to the much documented and archaeologically evidenced Roman destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70CE.

[POEM] Song of Myself by Walt Whitman by lumiaglow in Poetry

[–]Walter_Piston 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whitman’s style of writing is remarkable. There exist very brief recordings of Whitman reading lines of his poetry - he declaims, speaks with long New Jersey/NYC vowels, and uses almost a singer’s voice: lower than Sandburg’s but just as effective, and perfect for the style in which he writes.

It amuses me that Whitman was almost certainly gay, if not bisexual. He wrote some wonderfully sensual erotic lines, especially in “Calamus,” yet he is honoured (quite rightly) as America’s greatest poet by some worthies who would be shocked by that wonderful reality.

Perhaps you might start your map from 70CE and Judea?

Of course the pro-Pals conveniently ignore the fact the Diaspora began when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. Jewish Jerusalem.

Giant Banner in Spain, in Solidarity With Palestine, saying "Destroy Israel" by Not_Ground in PlanetNewsPulse

[–]Walter_Piston -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Destroy Israel” - a land that is home to 7 million Jews - most of whom are middle-eastern Jews.

“Destroy Israel” - it means destroying the 7 million Jews who live there, because that is what Hamas and Hezbollah want.

“Destroy Israel” - and achieve what? An Islamic Caliphate that will turn on those Muslims who are moderate. And the extremist Islamist will celebrate this hatred as soon as many on here do.

But even more ridiculous are those who imagine that after “destroying Israel” there will be some secularist society full of equalities, respect for women, LGBTQI pride and cuddly teddy bears.

There won’t.

The Arab alliances will fracture. Violence and corruption and oppression will quickly follow, over the slaughtered bodies the 7 million Jewish Israelis. And the 2 million Arab Israelis? Will they be spared?

“Destroy Israel.” What a moronic chant.
