  1. Because the last thing they want is another Nakba. Arab states say Palestinians must stay on their land as war escalates It reflects deep Arab fears that Israel's latest war with Hamas in Gaza could spark a new wave of permanent displacement from land where Palestinians want to build a future state. "This is the cause of all causes, the cause of all Arabs," Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Thursday. "It is important that the (Palestinian) people remain steadfast and present on their land." https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/arab-states-say-palestinians-must-stay-their-land-war-escalates-2023-10-13/
  2. This is an interesting interview. A few other notable statements from Marwan Muasher: - What Israel is doing goes far beyond neutralising Hamas. They are trying to affect a mass transfer. - If Palestinians are let out, they will not be allowed to return as was the case in 1948. - It will continue to escalate if the US keeps sending arms to Israel. 10:11: “It has clearly become mass killing. Israel says it is defending itself, but there is no international law that defends mass killing of civilians”. - There needs to be a political horizon, and he refers to the IRA in Northern Ireland which transitioned from terrorism to politics.
  3. Prominent Zionist Daniella Weiss lays it out clearly. "No Arab will remain in Gaza." From the Euphrates to the Nile, as was always the plan. "All of Gaza belongs to the Land of Israel."
  4. Definitely true, although I would use "supporters" rather than "fans".
  5. The American Dream - destroyed by violent illegal immigrants. New York City Mayor Eric Adams challenges sanctuary city laws, calls for more cooperation with ICE In a harsh rebuke of New York's sanctuary city status, Adams on Tuesday called for more cooperation between federal immigration officials and local police, supporting the idea of them working together to deport migrants who are suspected of serious crimes. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/new-york-city-mayor-eric-adams-challenges-sanctuary-city-laws-calls-for-more-cooperation-with-ice/#:~:text="I don't believe people,our city%2C" Adams said.
  6. More colloquially referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome.
  7. He is referring to the illegal murderous immigrants such as the one who murdered Laken Riley, or the ultraviolent cartel members such as the Tren de Aragua gang who roam the streets, or the hordes of savages who have made New York a hellhole to the point where Mayor Eric Adams is begging for help. Yes, Trump is right by saying these scumbags are not even worthy of being called people.
  8. Another viewpoint is that he is a protectionist and cares for his people by protecting their borders and preventing the entry of criminals nobody wants to encounter. Then comes the second step, which is to cease the various types of exploitation and nefarious interventions in other countries so that people there can also be sovereign and happy instead of being forced to flee and live the horrendous life of a refugee.
  9. Yes indeed, with regards to what we were talking about the other day, about the German guy killing a kid on a scooter, in this report they clearly say "two farangs", not "two foreigners". Then the news anchor goes on to say "Phuket, again! But this time New-Zealanders". The exasperation is palpable.
  10. While this is partly true, Palestine had long been under various mandates and none of the Western powers were actually in favour of the Zionist plan. In fact, it was widely thought that it would greatly jeopardize Western interests in the region. The Western establishment was forced to comply with it through ruthless means of subversion and coercion. The Balfour Declaration was imposed in exchange for US entry into WWI (without which Germany would have won), UN delegates were pressured with threats such as suspension of economic aid to approve the 1948 partition. Even the Exodus episode, which was heavily covered by the media to gain public sympathy by showcasing a boat of Jewish refugees being refused entry in multiple countries, was orchestrated by Ben-Gurion and entirely fake. If you are interested in this issue, I recommend reading Alison Weir's book Against our Better Judgment, the Hidden History of how the US was Used to Create Israel, which is very well documented and sourced.
  11. To make it clear that the region and people of Palestine existed long before the 1948 Partition Plan and were recognised and referred to as such. Zionists (or pro-Zionists) systematically use this angle to further the sophism that there was really no Palestinian people before 1948, and therefore imply there isn't really anything significant going on there in terms of ethnic cleansing.
  12. Balfour Declaration of November 2 1917, addressed to Lord Rothschild by Arthur James Balfour: "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation." https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/text-of-the-balfour-declaration
  13. I did not say Hamas would not exist without Netanyahu, I said it would not exist without the Israeli establishment. Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s, told the New York Times that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”).
  14. The Zionists created Hamas as part of their plan, which was always to take over the entire land. Bolstering this terrorist group quells any chances of a Palestinian State and justifies retaliation and land grab. A friendly reminder: ISRAEL’S OCCUPATION: 50 YEARS OF DISPOSSESSION Israel’s military rule disrupts every aspect of daily life in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. It continues to affect whether, when and how Palestinians can travel to work or school, go abroad, visit their relatives, earn a living, attend a protest, access their farmland, or even access electricity or a clean water supply. It means daily humiliation, fear and oppression. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/
  15. But given (as I demonstrated earlier in this thread and as is also well explained in the below article) that this attack would not have happened if Hamas had not been purposefully engineered by the Israeli establishment, a rational and objective observer can only be wary of the unilateral portrayal of Hamas as an independent threat, inherently embedded into the Palestinian civilisation, with the subsequent implied justification/tolerance of indistinct annihilation (cf. Jordan Peterson's infamous tweet "give 'em hell Netanyahu" which is quite representative of this trend). Nothing is farther from the truth: without the Likud's active and Messianic-driven interference, a two-state solution would have happened a long time ago and Hamas would not exist. Why Netanyahu Bolstered Hamas The Israeli prime minister followed a decades-old divide-and-rule strategy that fuels endless war. [...] For years, the Qatari government had been sending millions of dollars a month into the Gaza Strip—money that helped prop up the Hamas government there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel not only tolerated those payments, he had encouraged them. https://www.thenation.com/article/world/why-netanyahu-bolstered-hamas/
  16. I can't remember seeing any babies celebrating.
  17. There are quite a few "oddballs" in the Israeli political apparatus. On Sky news ex Israeli PM Naftali Bennett was asked- "What about the babies in incubators in Gaza who's life support has been turned off because the Israelis have cut off the power" His answer - Are you serious asking about Palestinian civilians? What's wrong with you?
  18. A common sense statement indeed.
  19. ISRAELI MINISTER: OUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL CELEBRATE THE RUINS OF GAZA May Golan: "I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, and that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did."
  20. Indeed I can. Pretty good stuff on Tik Tok, in terms of truth. It probably won't last, it never does.
  21. From Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300, Dr. John Coleman.
  22. As a seasoned conspiracy theorist, I can assure you that TikTok is one of the very few large platforms where you can still speak the truth (or "misinformation" as they say in the media). That's why they want to ban it, the Chinese threat is just the justification they have come up with.
