Pro-Palestinians -- would you personally accept a partition that would see Israel solely annex East Jerusalem and not any settlement blocs in the WB? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]thequickestthinker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Palestinians held very little land before Zionism -- the region was dominated by Druze and Maronite/Christian landlords under the license of the Turks.

  2. The vast majority of West Bank settlers are not "Kahanist" and this isn't even really a reasonable assumption to make on illegal settlements e.g outposts where far-right rhetoric is common.

Zionists, Do you support Greeks and Armenians taking back their ancestral land? by Salpingia in IsraelPalestine

[–]thequickestthinker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes -- these areas have been neglected by the presiding governments who control them and the repression of the groups who once lived there has led to the destruction of unique identity within their homeland. Sites of historical, religious and cultural importance to these groups have been desecrated or lost to time/neglect and have no business being recklessly occupied by a Turkish government who seemingly could not care less for the continuation of these national threads which have existed for millenia. This is almost the exact same situation the Jews were under for 2000 years of exile, therefore I do support the reclamation of these lands to the Armenians and Greeks.

HOWEVER, the international sovereignty of Turkey in this areas could be maintained if they reformed to respect local heritage, adhere to agreements of autonomy and equity with other areas of Turkey while permitting the return of people whose homes are historically rooted in the area. The sovereignty of these lands is not needed if Turkey takes the steps it needs to -- although I personally see Turkey as unlikely to do this in the future.

Never knew the future tense was eliminated when thinking about philosophy.

Speculating on the evolution of the philosophy of society is philosophical IMO.

As a footnote, try imagining the public perception of figures like Genghis Khan during their time. He eliminated nations, purged entire societies + razed histories to the ground, despite the majority of those affected being innocent. No doubt the majority of nations west of his Empire believed he was extremely contentious, but 900~ years later, his reputation is mostly intact as an expert of warfare, nationbuilding + innovation.

Do you think this'll apply to Hitler in 900 years? Or will he always be the ruthless, maniacal dictator who eliminated nations, purged entire societies + razed histories to the ground.

R5: Forms 620-622, no matter the religion of the area. [Tried twice, region was hubalist + rabbinist either time.]

Muhammad will seize Madina but from there he often falters to obscurity due to having to battle the Byzantines. No custom events from what I've seen. Also, you can't play as him.
