That’s kind of irrelevant though because the US wasn’t colonizing them. And in both, the US had complete dominance during the entire occupation.

The south Vietnamese and the Afghan governments were weak and corrupt and caved as soon as the US withdrew. In a colonial situation, the US would have not pulled out at all and would have implemented a permanent occupation.

Come on Covid-24!

Sure, but NK is involved in the war in Ukraine given that they’re supplying arms to Russia.

No it’s because they hate Jews.

Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iran, and Lebanon do not give a single fuck about Palestine or Palestinians. They want the land for themselves.

From 1948 to 1967 Jordan owned the West Bank. And Egypt controlled Gaza.

No Palestinian state was created then when it could have been. Jordanians and Egyptians built settlements of their own and displaced Palestinians.

Egypt refuses to take in Palestinians now.

Yes? Jordan has participated in every conflict against Israel since 1947.

To be fair, they do. Iran, Jordan, and Egypt have tried repeatedly to eliminate Israel entirely.

Because they have nukes and would use them on their neighbors.

Avocado toast itself is a great meal. If you make it at home, it’s a cheap meal full of good fats that will keep you full for a while.

Avocado toast in a cafe or something is stupid because they charge $15-20 for something that costs $1 to make.

I have literally never defended trumps bitch ass lol.

It’s ok, you can just say you don’t know what tax deductible actually means

Women globally have been the primary victims of HIV for a long time already.

Africa has had the majority of new HIV cases for decades, and the majority there are caused by rape, which overwhelmingly affects women more than men

Terminally online people say this, but their annual profit has increased year over year except for 2020 when everything was shut down.

They had a 9.6% increase yoy from 2022. Which was itself a 5% increase from 2021.

And even with Covid they rebounded to exactly where they were as soon as the shutdowns hit.

They went down 12.7% from 2019 to 2020, but went back up 29% for 2020-2021 and has increased ever since.

So the question of who is gonna eat there is answered. It’s everyone except you apparently. Everyone else keeps buying and pushing their revenue and profit higher year over year.

They have had 2 bad years in the last 15. They probably know a wee bit more than the average Lemming.

The Christian population in Gaza has declined by 2/3 since 2009, when there were about 3,000 total. Today there are fewer than 1000.

Hamas has made a huge push to either get them to convert or leave, and have killed dozens.

And why compare them to al Qaeda? Why not the Taliban?

They have a formal alliance with the Taliban, and both are the governments of their state. Both have pretty much the same platform as well, and both are officially opposed to AQ because AQ competes with them for power.

We call them indigenous because they were the first ones there…

Palestinians were not. They killed the people who were there and took it.

Indigenous does not just mean “there for a long time”. White people have been in North America for centuries now but nobody is gonna say they’re indigenous.

And yes, Muslims and Jews both trace their ancestry to the biblical Abraham. The split was when Abraham banished Hagar and Ishmael and they went to the desert in Arabia.

Also Semitic just means a language group.

And the Jews were there first. Before the Arab Muslims genocided them. Of course they share common DNA, the Muslims raped every woman from birth to the grave there.

Which means that nobody there is indigenous. The actual indigenous peoples have been genocided over millennia.

Uh Palestinians are not fucking indigenous.

Palestine only became an idea after the Muslim conquest of the levant in the late 600s CE, when the Arabs went on their own genocide across the entire Middle East conquering everything and raping and killing everyone in sight.

If you want to talk about indigenous, then you’d have to go back to the Israelites around 3200 years ago, or the Philistines before them.

According to experts from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, the meteor in question was just over 60 centimeters in diameter and weighed half a ton (or around 454 kilograms).

The headline is entirely from the Jerusalem post. In Israel.

This.

The only negative thing about the whole situation was that Apple didn’t publicize it, not that they throttled the devices.

Get a new battery for it and the thing works just fine.
