This ignorant statement does not change the fact that the Israelis did not start this war.

This war did not start on October 7. It started in 1948.

Even earlier with European Ashkenazi Jews and German Nazi war criminals entering to hide.

The Israelis started the occupation and the Nakba in 1948 and these are well documented facts. History did not begin on October 7th 2023 and to pretend “Israel did not start this war” is disingenuous at best. No need to rehash the entire history of land theft, false imprisonment of Palestinians by the thousands, and now, the ethnic cleansing and war crimes of the past year. I want a complete ceasefire that will save the lives not just of the Palestinian and Lebanese children but also the Israeli. Because if this destruction continues that’s where it’s headed - it’s unavoidable.

Pretty much the same intolerant attitude of the Spanish Inquisition Priests - "fuck any philosophy that wasn't theirs" - today's religion among the so-called intellectuals (and many them know jack shit about metaphysical questions) is reductive materialism. Which by the way, is a philosophy that remains unproven scientifically or philosophically.

Your shallow intolerant statement reminds me of something Joseph Campbell said in his book Myth and Meaning:

"There are two attitudes toward religious and mythic images today. One is that they are references to facts, and the other is that they are lies. But they are neither facts nor lies; rather, they are metaphors. Mythology is a compendium of metaphors."

ps: By the way, just because extremists Jews are carrying out a genocide does not mean all religions are evil. That would be pretty much the same as claiming all Secularists are evil because the last Two World Wars that killed 100s of millions of people including carrying out a holocaust against Jews - all Secularists are evil because they were responsible for the two world wars. It's shallow as fuck reasoning and intolerant bigotry worthy of no intellectual respect.

I was expecting an enlightening explanation of how the formation of Israel in 1948 wasn't an assault on all the Arabs inhabating the land on which that nation was formed, and you give this? Can you try again?

How can you use an old book like that to justify what is supposed to be done today? Did they have robots? Algorithms? Instant information exchange? Planes? Television? It's preposterous to use an antiquated book, a 2-dimensional thing, to explain human complexity.

Well if the Bible is true then that means Jews are the bad guys right? Wasn’t there a reason they were persecuted so much through early history?

By that logic, the Hebrews stole Palestine from the Philistines.

Take yer fucking Bible and thump yerself upside the head with it; it might knock some sense into ya.

Your “Bible” ain’t nuthin but a big book of horror stories. The Brothers Grimm did it better.

Oh, and your “Jesus” is gonna arrive atop a big mushroom cloud 😁

Israel is nothing more than a criminal and terrorist enterprise led by sick minds and sociopaths. Your false colony is crumbling and collapsing under the weight of our collective solidarity with Palestine.

It is well known that the zionazis project their crimes onto the Palestinians. Israel has a very long history of deceit.

So that logic must apply to other countries too right? Therefore if you live in America your home can be confiscated.

Oh, very well, then, if you insist...

"Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.

And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity."

Okay. So, any property owned by zionists in the U.S., the local Native American tribes can go knocking on their doors and they will politely hand it back? Because it is stolen land?

Oh yes they did. It was called the Nakba and it occurred in 1948, the year of my birth.

It’s amazing that when people have access to the internet and they can search for the truth they stay willfully ignorant.

Bob, what was Israel doing to Palestinians on October 6 and since 1948? Maybe you can look up the answer.

Actually, it's more likely our cerebral cortex that is in charge of these twisted, fictions, we lived our lives in accordance with. A major characteristic of which is narcissism and hubris. We need to find a way to get that under control.

Of course he would. He is a cheer leader on the sidelines. He's a racist with a false sense of entitlement who would happily actively participate in the genocide.
