Oh, true, true. I think that’s one we can put forward to the panel of aliens willing to share their tech if they ever appear.

“See? Some times we’re not complete savages.”

Can’t think of the last time this world saw a ceasefire cease fire.

That’s a very ignorant take on history, attempting to disconnect modern day Israel from the Israelites of which also comes Judaism from Israel’s son, Judah and that tribe. Though, this has nothing to do with the religion specifically beyond its ideological influence of history.

You never thought as to why the modern state of Israel came to exist as it does? Restoration of 900 BC Israel? It was only later Israel would fall to the Assyrians. Then Judah to the Babylonians. The Canaanites at this point were way gone, Amon, Moab, etc., so the Israelites, as the tribes of Israel, were without homeland. No Israel, no Judah, nothing.

Then the Romans, then the English, blah, blah, blah. Suddenly it’s the 1940s…

The British administrative mandate of Palestine—as the British empire just did with little regions all over the world—is coming to an end so they put the proposal to the UN. II’s no Kingdom of Judah as well, where Jerusalem formerly was, but most of the landmass is central to the former Kingdom of Israel which was historically more prosperous and “the big one” anyway. Apart from this, it had nothing to do with America. The proposal itself had already been cooking for 30 years prior and the British were happy to execute it with UN agreeance. At times it was looking to go forward before WW2 was even a thing.

Your last statement is just entirely wrong, but it sounds catchy to anyone that’s never looked at the history.

I mean, they invented a religion that places them as God’s chosen people, with a history of genocides and claiming regions backed up by that god. They wrote their stories as the victors and somehow still manage to sound like the bad guys.

Psychopathy was probably rife in the 12’tribes and I wouldn’t be surprised if it started with their dad, Jacob the maid fucker. Actually, probably his granddad, Abraham, the guy willing to kill his son to please god.

Either way, it’s been like this for centuries and don’t expect the country to suddenly change any time soon. The divine claim to the “land of milk and honey” has been their long-time casus belli for annihilating entire cities and civilisations + now with US protection!

lol. As a business that still hasn’t filed a request yet, would you:

a) Like to be remembered by Trump?
b) Get back your slice of the $160B pie?

The average English person isn’t that much more well-travelled than the average American. He too is relying on snippets of typecast discourse to form an opinion on world culture which, of course, is way off.

With social behaviour under control, it’s a superpower in my line of work.

I have this in my area, which was weird coming from actual big cities with way more dense traffic.

It’s like the courtesy from the shared misery of, “We’re all in this shit together” never got a chance. Instead people here seemingly never evolved beyond the “If I tailgate this one car, the 100 in front will disappear” phase.

When you’re overtaking someone going slow, but they speed up next to you, so you’re stuck now and will miss the exit. Just pretend they were probably lonely and just needed someone next to them for a while.

If they were people of action, they wouldn’t have Lemmy accounts.
