Of course but that is no justification for Islamic terror. Jesus was supposed to stop all that. Mohammad then came and negated Jesus, as the "final prophet". to motivate all the invasions and terror, raping, slavery etc. All to further Islam. Do some research. It is evil incarnate, a religion of loopholes. Everything is OK to further Islam except between Muslims, and then they are warring between Sunnis and Shiites. Never ends with them. See Jihad Watch for starters.
Again, read the old testament, with its genocide, incest, rape, slavery, slaughter, then the entire bloody history of Christianity; including the inquisition, crusades, witch-hunts targeting women, etc, etc, and then get back to me with your diatribe.
And speaking of terror, you might bother to check out the actions of the U.S. government globally, and how they unleash terror on multiple countries on a daily basis, mostly out of sight of American citizens who are forced to pay for the carnage.
I was teaching when that whole thing was shut down by Ronnie the Con, because he so hated the Uprising of Students in Berkeley while he was in California. By god, no more social studies, no more civics will be taught in OUR schools. They might actually rise up to defend our principles if they know them. Can’t have that! And by the way, let the queers die. They did it to themselves. Doddering old fool.
Ronald Reagan is and by far the worst president that this country ever had. Sadly, in the last 40+ years, every president elected after him aspires to be a copy of him, at least in some ways.
Most COUNTRIES study spelling in school. Speaking of dim....
And do you actually think that schools anywhere teach the details about U.S. government black ops/other military operations happening around the world, when some of your own governments are clueless?
what a narrow perspective. Have you never heard about Ireland and how the Protestants and Catholics were at war for years and years? So do you think Christianity is also "evil incarnate"? Open that little mind of yours
I am Irish. I lived in Ireland during the troubles, about a mile from the border. To say that Protestants and Catholics were at war for years and years in Ireland is a wild exaggeration.
And it wasn't about religion - it was about national identity. In the Irish Rebellion of 1798, large numbers of Protestants sided with the United Irishmen.
Just as, in the same way, what is going on in Gaza today isn't about religion, and nobody who knows anything about the history of the area thinks that is about Islam. When the Muslims first conquered Palestine in the 7th century, they brought relief to the country's Jewish citizens, who had previously been barred by the Byzantines from praying on the Temple Mount.
I agree that this war that is happening in Gaza is not about religion. But some of the comments on this list do not seem to understand that, thus the occasional Islamophobic and anti Semitic comments. I also understand that in Ireland, most of the conflict was because of British colonial attitudes and the Irish wish to separate from those attitudes. But my reading about Ireland has also talked a great deal about Catholic/Protestant conflict. I cannot argue with your experience, but my reading tells me something different than what you are saying.
Several of the comments here are pretty dumb, and I tend to ignore them.
As for Ireland, there was a lot of sectarian bigotry, and British and Irish nationalism certainly infected the churches, and people talked about it being about Catholics and Protestants. But the IRA and the INLA had no real interest in Catholicism, and the UDA and the UVF had no real interest in Protestantism.
The amount of conflict in Ireland was also nothing like that of the Middle East. My family moved back to Ireland in 1975, having had to leave Lebanon because of the Lebanese Civil War. Some of the kids I was in school with in Ireland actually believed that what was happening in Belfast was comparable with what was happening in Lebanon. That was a huge joke. Belfast was a city of peace in the 1970s compared with Beirut. Over the centuries there were outbreaks of fighting, but after the failure of the 1798 rebellion, most of them were pretty minor. The Irish Civil War in 1922-23, which was between different varieties of Irish Nationalists, only killed about 1500 people. Even the Irish War of Independence against the UK (1919-1921) only killed about 2300 people. That does not compare with the carnage that we are witnessing in Gaza right now.

Here is the truth.
Why are they 'out of sight of American citizens?'
Americans are lazy and dim.
Most country's study politics in schools.

Certainly 'doddering' and not 'the sharpest knife in the draw!'
Must have been very difficult for you trying to teach.
Most COUNTRIES study spelling in school. Speaking of dim....

In schools here they have to learn Politics and know the French 'constitution.'
Yes you are right about my spelling mistake, well done for catching it!

When was this?
I have to assume you are joking or being sarcastic or something

ALL MYth..same as Buddah.
🤢🤮🤑. Meant for Robert the C. (Gawd, the way Substack does comments, I have to go back and attribute all the time!!! )
Who brought Jesus to Pontius Pilate for execution?
Ohhhhh. Can this be proved?
How many years ago was this supposed to happen?
You can start a rumour anywhere in the World (myth) it gets passed down through generations and the story gets distorted.
It is also true that if you watch Politicians they too distort story's (MYTH).
Beautiful. Succinct and irrefutable.
