That's stupid economics and just pushing propaganda buttons which hurt American taxpayers. Musk gets that attention because he pushes forward what Americans on the whole want: progress in favor of working people.

Golda had to hold back her still worthy comment, but the facts are that the Catholic Church in particular cooperated with Hitler to kill the Jews, and even allowed them to take Italy's Jews to the gas chambers. The Church's Popes largely pushed AS. Even today.

When Israeli Prime Minister 'Iron Lady' Golda Meir met Pope Paul VI on 15 January 1973, he criticized the state of Israel.
In response, PM Golda said:
"Your Holiness, do you know what my earliest memory is? A pogrom in Kiev. When we were merciful and when we had no homeland and when we were weak, we were led to the gas chambers."

They are destroying state property, which goes against the 10 Commandments, and they are not defending themselves from a personal threat, so are they inculcating Jewish values, the values of Hashem, or the values of some Rabbis like "Torah Judaism?"

The place is Jerusalem.
Jews opposed to Zionism and the State of Israel removed Israeli flags from the streets.
There are tens of thousands of Jews in the Holy Land who reject Zionism, do not see the State of Israel as representing Judaism, and refuse military service under Israel's forced conscription system.
They continue to oppose both Zionism and the ongoing efforts to draft their communities into the army.

You guys completely get confused by the nature of any language, and in particular, the English language. But what you do is try to go beyond the use of speculation into innuendo. Physicists speculate without innuendo.

Alex Jones to Ben Shapiro: Look in the mirror if you want to see a traitor, you little beady-eyed rat
"You got Ben Shapiro saying Tucker is a Muslim agent, no evidence.
Saying I'm on some foreign payroll. Bull crap, buddy, you're the one on the Israeli payroll.
Salem radio, that he's on, all that stuff, literally run by the Israeli government, funded directly by it.
You are the agent of foreign groups, not me."
Alex has never been known for mincing his words 🤣

You've cut out in the video all the reps Hegseth accomplished leading up to this last clipped video showing only his last one. That's the very definition of propaganda.

The "Government of Palestine" was British run and controlled at that time. No independent Palestinian State and not one going back centuries. Before the British? It was Ottoman, and used different names denoting areas of civil administration.

Israel was never a state and never will be.

I don't hate Muslims. I don't like Sharia Law, and the attitude of conquering. The Torah is mostly defensive in a military posture, but, true, offensive in defeating the then existing tribal peoples to conquer and defend ancient Israel. That was then, this is now.
Well, how did the Jews in history treat their non-Jewish subjects? Genocide, expulsion, slavery or forced conversion. See Joshua, the Maccabees and the Zionists. The Muslims were wonders of tolerance in comparisons.

Palestinians exist, yes, but they had no government and continue to have no state. They are a new, emergent set of peoples, mostly going back to the early 1900s and forward. Mostly, they were clans much more than Palestinians. Arafat was born and raised mostly in Egypt.
Look at her venom; her poisonous hatred. This individual, @Ilhan, does not belong in the United States. She makes a mockery of what it means to be an American.

The Ukrainians did not set the record straight on what happened in Trump's call to the Ukrainian leadership, and on Biden's threats against them if not firing their own legal reps following up on Ukrainian/Biden largesse. Now, Biolabs. Still, Putin's attack?

BREAKING: UKRAINE, what is really going on?
BIOLABS, trafficking, laundering, you name it.
Ukraine is a crossroads of Europe and U.S. taxpayers are being ripped off to the tune of billions with no clear end in sight. This is another war that has to end and the U.S. needs to find a graceful exit out. Prolonging this war has the real potential to lead to a nuclear exchange.
And pouring good money after bad is never a good thing. x.com/ivan_8848/status/17784…

The subject of Mahmoud Abbas' dissertation and Ph.D was the Holocaust, of which he denied it existed. His denialist interpretation counted down the killings to several hundred thousand Jews. Your Ph.D doesn't impress me.

Jerry Seinfeld said Palestine doesn’t exist.
This was actually the subject of my PhD dissertation.
Turns out that Arab, Muslims & Christians have been calling Palestine Palestine continuously for more than a millennium.

Give me your sources as a response to this posting, then. I find a lot of it circular, meaning either all quoting the same unproven story, or quoting each other. Rashid Khalidi spent more than 30 years, yet got things wrong. It was not a historian research, but prop research. It was not a Palestine as a nation-state. It was Pan-Arabism based on clans.
Stan Stan…
The fact that you felt the need to:
1. Post this twice
2. Mention Hamas or Al Jazeera as sources
shows that you already have a strong sense of inferiority on the matter.
You clearly did not read my post as the references are within the post. If there is anything in there you don’t understand, let me know. I can also provide the detailed references and peer reviewed research. I have spent 30 years working in the area, so happy to explain the various aspects you clearly do not understand. You’ve done your research have you? Peer reviewed papers and references would be great.
My references are documented history going back millennia. You talk about made up stuff from the 70s. Have some dignity, stick to economics.

That's the Philistines, from which the name Palestine is derived. Not the so-called Palestinians of today. The Philistines are gone from history, subsumed by later peoples.
Literally CIA and israeli propaganda that the USSR made up palestinian people. Congrats.
And the region and thus people of palestine predates the codification of judaism

His primary upbringing was Egypt. I am not debating Arabs in Palestine never existed. I debate the idea that Jews in Palestine never existed. And that there was a Palestinian state there with a "Palestinian" culture. There were clans, and mostly, from other Arab areas.
No he was born in Egypt to Palestinian parents and grew up partially in Jerusalem.

What are your sources? I've done my research already. You depending on the info from Hamas? Al Jazeera? Yeah, it's good to deprogram whatever. I'm pretty confident in my knowledge.
Completely false Stan. When you publish nonsense have at least the courtesy to put references.
Have a quick read, hope it helps with deprogramming yourself from propaganda.

Ten Times Gideon Levy was Evil or a Liar:
1. December 17, 2018 — After Shira Ish-Ran, 30 weeks pregnant, was wounded in a drive-by terror shooting at an Ofra bus stop and her baby — delivered by emergency C-section — died days later, Levy wrote that he had no sympathy for the settlers, their tragedy wasn't his, and "the settlers' lust for revenge is never satisfied."
2. July 2014 — "Lowest Deeds from Loftiest Heights" attacked IDF pilots during Operation Protective Edge, writing that "Israel's 'heroic' pilots push buttons and joysticks, battling the weakest and most helpless of people."
3. August 28, 2025 — Labeled IDF West Bank commander Avi Bluth "Oberkommandant" — the German Nazi term for supreme commander — while accusing him of collective punishment. Netanyahu and ministers condemned it as antisemitic incitement.
4. March 31, 2022 — Haaretz column opening with "The way of terror is the only way open to the Palestinians to fight for their future…Israel has taught them this."
5. Recurring — Repeatedly praises Marwan Barghouti — convicted on five counts of murder, including the June 12, 2001 ambush of Greek Orthodox monk Father Georgios Tsibouktzakis on the road to Ma'ale Adumim — as "the only chance to inject new hope into the dying Palestinian cause" and "the most hopeful leader for the Palestinian people."
6. May 2008 — Claimed West Bank Palestinian children had only one swimming pool to escape summer heat. CAMERA published photos of the many pools in every major West Bank town. Levy responded by calling CAMERA "a McCarthyist group" rather than correct.
7. February 2020 — Claimed in his Kafr Qaddum column that an IDF tractor "slammed into a crowd" of Palestinian protesters. Video showed no such impact; the frontloader was clearing boulders Palestinians had placed in the road. Haaretz issued a correction, blaming a "translation error."
8. March 2020 — In "Why are some Israelis so evil?" claimed both Gazan parents of a dying 10-year-old cancer patient (Miral) were denied entry to be with her in Nablus. Correction: only the mother's request was initially denied and was eventually approved; the father never even applied.
9. March 2017 — Claimed Jews are "the least" victims of US hate crimes. CAMERA forced corrections in both English and Hebrew: Jews are the most-targeted religious group.
10. October 2012 — Wrote a Haaretz piece headlined "Survey: Most Israeli Jews support apartheid regime in Israel" based on a Dialog poll. CAMERA/Presspectiva obtained the original survey and found Levy had ignored data that didn't suit him and at times completely reversed the survey's findings.

Before 1917 it was under the Ottoman Empire and had names of a number of territories with Ottoman derived names. There was no independent country of Palestine.

1. Can you provide a pre20th century reference to a Palestinian people/ethnicity?
2. When was there ever a state, country, nation, kingdom called Palestine?
3. Why didn't the Palestinian Arabs get a state between 1949 and 1967?
