The system failed decades before that if there’s people running around stupid enough to think there’s a genocide happening.

But Americans now have what they deserve. The exceptionalism they’ve been pushing on the world is now on full display for everyone to witness.

Come on. Have you seen what’s going on on college campuses right now? I’ve heard far less serious things being said with absolute sincerity.

We’re reaching the point where victimhood is the only trait people aspire to achieve.

Amazing. Love to hear that.

Can we take a minute to appreciate the bookstore that this is happening at?

It’s called McNally Robinson. It’s based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It has previously expanded into places like New York city, but I believe now only operates out of Winnipeg .

It is a phenomenal bookstore that does wonders for local artists giving them platforms they otherwise would not get.

Great story all around.

ETA, I’d recognize that logo anywhere, been driving by it my whole life.

I do this with my daughter while waiting for her therapy appointment. We sit in the park across the street and eat a happy meal while chatting. I don’t know if it’s the therapy or the time together but she’s so much more balanced since we started this I’m good paying for the therapy even if it’s our conversations that are making that difference.

It’s one of the highlights of my week, and I’m about to leave the office to go grab her for it.

Real estate people too. If you’re not a VP in real estate, you don’t really exist. I’ve met guys with a VP title who are like 23 years old and not even done their mbas. It just makes everyone look stupid.

Back to the initiation of the culture… this isn’t hard to understand. Is there a 3 million year old culture remaining today? No.

There’s a 3000 year old one though and they’re in their homelands again.

What a stupid take. Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, it’s intractable from the Jewish people. Don’t be so ignorant. Next week Jews will celebrate the return to their homeland from exile in Egypt, they’ve been doing so for thousands of years.

Your understanding of indigeneity doesn’t come close to the established academic or real world understanding of it. If the Greeks had remained in Crimea, maintained the language and culture like the Jews have done then yes they’d absolutely be considered indigenous. There are a dozen examples of these sorts of people’s across the MENA region, they’re all indigenous, not the Arab invaders who forcibly colonised the land.

So you’re saying that violence should win out. That’s an interesting take. Those people were forced to convert under threat of death, just like happened across the MENA region. That’s an indisputable fact with reams of history in that country backing it up. Both the Arabs and Jews kept great notes.

Arab Jews don’t exist. That’s literally not a thing. Ask any Sephardic or Mizrahi Jew and you’ll get an earful. There are Jews who refused to convert, they’re not Arabs. The Arabization of the region doesn’t give them claim to the history of the region which is clearly being attacked right now, your comments make that abundantly clear.

If you believe that violence is an acceptable form of wielding power as you claim above, then you would be hypocritical to take issue with the situation in Gaza today. Violence isn’t the answer IMO, no one wins that way. Seems like people want to ignore that’s how Islam spread though, but the people who live in the sole non Arab state in the region won’t ignore it and are clearly fed up with it. If violence is the chosen path, it’s very evident the Israelis are up for the task.

Lastly, over 70% of Israelis are either Arab or from the MENA region. Your lies about them being European Jews is just yet another bigoted stereotype. You seem to be hitting all the classics here.

It’s interesting to watch people like you attempt to spread misinformation like this. Everything you’ve lied about is very clearly captured in the historical record.

Next you’re gonna claim DNA testing is illegal aren’t you? There’s only so many lies in the handbook LMFAO.

The Iranian bots have been working overtime lately. That would be logical however. Disappointing it is to see technology manipulated in this way.

I feel like there’s enough iPhones in Jerusalem that this would have been flagged much earlier. Had it not been a recent introduction…

And before before the Arab conquest Jerusalem was in the hands of the Jews. It also shouldn’t be lost that Jews have lived there even under the brutal Arab regimes for over 3,000 years…

The entire point of decolonization is giving the land back to the people who are indigenous to it. Arabs are not indigenous to Judea. They come from the Arabian Peninsula.

Whoever snuck that in, should be looking for work today. Regardless of your views on politics, injecting them into your work product is problematic at best.

There’s been like 9 variations of gender in the Hebrew biblical books for thousands of years…

This isn’t new, but the bigotry towards it is. Kinda like how being Homo was fine in Roman times but not in Confederate times. Hate is a social construct.

The hilarity of thinking people here are tech savvy because they have an app is pretty cute to me. This place is slightly less accessible than Reddit but it’s hardly difficult to navigate around.

It seems like they pushed and there was nothing there to push because everyone had left. This is a case where the worker had options and it’s nice to see them use that to their advantage and encourage changes.

Great summary.

Ya, Lemmy is speed running the worst things about Reddit but struggling to build the niche communities that would make people want to hang around.

LoL. Ya, one of those certainly isn’t known for forcibly converting people at the threat of death or for force converting part of an entire continent and not a single one of those raped choir boys was born into that environment.

This is the best comment I’ve seen online today and I’m not complementing you.

My understanding is that Christianity is dwindling in numbers but Islam and Judaism are growing.

I also think religion is on the downswing, I’m fascinated by how we’re seeing people like Trump accelerating it.
