As a U.S. citizen: fuck the U.S.

So realistically we never ended the Cold War.

Anyone who thinks Israel is still a state founded on the genocide of the Jewish race today is sadly mistaken. It is now a state built on seeking to dominate religious minorities founded on the collective unity of other states that handed over historically contested land that others had been living on.

So basically, let Russia do whatever they want and have no input from Ukraine.

The world needs to take a good hard look at Israel and realize they are repeating history.

I struggle to remember which series it was exactly (obviously prior to 2004). This is a memory I have etched in. My World History teacher in 10th grade gave an overview of the entire year’s curriculum on the first day. She had the class watch a large portion of what I believe was the last episode of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (possibly it was Victory Gundam; I only watched Fighter G Gundam). By the end she made it very clear that history repeats. That was the theme of her curriculum for the whole school year.

Right now we are seeing history repeat. This time it is the formerly oppressed committing the crimes against humanity and being aided by the rest of the globe. What did Palestine ever do to Israel except seek statehood? Why can’t we leave them alone?

On an unrelated note, that teacher was awesome. I remember the week leading into the lesson on World War I, they staged incidents where select students would pretend to misbehave and not be punished in any way by the teacher. These were elaborate scenes of shouting. The lesson you might ask? Secret alliances.

So they are Turkey 2.0.

He’s not even hiding it.

I’m sorry, but repeating the words associated with an actual murder, but not saying “I am going to kill you” is a bit of a stretch to claim terrorism.

Here is the definition of domestic terrorism from the FBI’s website: “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

What about this incident is violent?

EDIT: Just to be clear, I am in no way defending these people. I just think the terrorism charge is overdoing it. Sure, a threat, but terrorism?

People really hate the Marcos family. When he died (which was in Honolulu, where he was being treated), the government initially didn’t allow his body to be brought to Philippines. It took four years till the next administration before his body was returned.

It’s as if one major atrocity against a whole religious group gives the world free rein to ignore their actions. Just because a group is targeted for genocide does not mean they themself cannot do anything morally wrong.

No shock here. A majority of the world is on a stance of “anything/anyone against the state of Israel is antisemitism”. This is such a false equivalency. Just because something/someone is against what the government of Israel, does not mean it/they are hateful towards the Jewish people. Hell, making such an equivalency is placing actually Jewish people in an unintended hate group.
