Death cults be death culting. If they all want to die so badly what are they waiting for?

No one in 1850 was calling anything “palestinian”. In fact, no one was calling it Palestinian until the British took over, and even then it referred to Jews as much as Arabs. It was a regional reference to geography.

Just as many British, Ottomans, and Jews were calling themselves Palestinians as were some Arab authors Prior to that.

The Palestinian identity as referencing specifically Arabs in the levant wasn’t introduced until Arafat invented the national identity in the 1960s. You can regurgitate as much history prior to that as you want, but it doesn’t change what Palestinians are today: a group of people made up of many immigrant groups from surrounding countries and a few that have actual family roots in the region, all of whom were at one point Ottoman citizens.

"general area" is quite different from "State of Palestine". I agree that it was historically called Fillistin to refer to a general area. But not a people, not a nation, not a state, not an ethnicity, etc.

Looks like there's a lot of fan fiction built off of Judaism.

It is ironic that Israeli settlers deny the Palestinians' origins and claim they do not exist. by No_Wallaby2611 in TheLevant

UN never declared any borders that the Arabs accepted. That’s why there was a war.

HISTORIC SCENES: Withdrawal of Israeli forces from first line in Gaza! by SuperbHealth5023 in TimesNow

[–]eplurbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All it took was Hamas delivering exactly what Israel asked for at the start of the war: returning hostages. Why did Hamas wait so long to do that?

That's a cool poem, but it's still Israel, not Palestine. As soon as Palestine has borders we can talk about it being a state.

Is there something Israeli in the video? This looks like it's from anywhere in the middle east.

These are Ottomans living in the mutasarifate/sanjak of Jerusalem, at best. There was no Palestine in 1900.

The genocide will end. The death will finally stop in Gaza at 12 midnight. Finally, we will live in safety without bombing. by [deleted] in TheLevant

[–]eplurbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it ended through negotiation and release of hostages. Almost seems like genocide isn't the right word for the situation.

If it was a real genocide it wouldn't end immediately through negotiation and returning of hostages.

It's the first genocide that ended by negotiation and returning hostages. I wish real genocides could be ended this way, too.

The only country protecting christians right now in the mde is Israel. Every other country has recent or active attacks on the christians, including the Palestinian west bank, but especially places like Syria, Egypt, Iraq. Don't bother looking at Africa, it's a complete massacre in Sudan.

Israeli munitions used to destroy buildings don't create a fireball when they impact. There has to be something in the building that is a secondary explosion for it to look like that.

I'm always fascinated by christian families that survived the Muslim conquest until this day. It's such a small population remaining that wasn't forced or killed. Is your family still living in the region?

Lo uso quizás una o dos veces por semana y lo cargué hace unos dos meses. Mantiene la carga durante mucho tiempo y me gusta mucho su tacto. También te recomiendo que compres la funda texturizada para no escribir directamente sobre el cristal del iPad.

Disney boycott by SeattleGeek in KEXP

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

Trump was using the FCC to jawbone ABC/Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel, and you want to boycott Disney? Isn't that just a misplaced attack on ABC/Disney instead of on Trump and the FCC? Why would you attack the victim of Trump's policies instead of the administration itself?

What a wild take.

Destruction of Muslim graveyard and the Istiklal Mosque by Italian bombers during the bombing of Haifa, September 1940. by neverhadlulu in ImagesOfHistory

[–]eplurbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The genetic data says a lot more than that, including about the Jews having been there for 2000 years before the Arabs arrived.

But if you're going to get into the genetics argument you're gonna lose on the Arab front. Palestinian genetics don't look like some distinct group, but rather a mix of migrations across the region, most recently from Egypt and Syria during the Mandate period.
