How come all the tents are identical. It looks kinda orchestrated to me.

[@FrankSmith-kg3dh]

walmart is making some money selling tents

[@joshbates9015]

I see 5 or so that are identical, which I assume were purchased by the protest organizers, both to identify yourselves as a group, as well as make for easy purchase by going to one store and purchasing 5 of the same tent rather than shop around 5 different stores. Beyond those ones, it looks like a hodge podge of different tents, presumably brought by those who are simply taking part in the protest and didn't take part in the planning. Does that assuage your concerns? Or am I now in on the conspiracy in your mind?

[@fearsomefawkes6724]

What do you think protests are? Of course it's orchestrated. Regardless, not all of the tents are identical, and while there are some that look identical from the glimpse we get it not that uncommon. Go to a festival, campground, or even the camping aisle at a box store. Two-pole dome tents are far and away the most common.

Premier Christian News 4/29/24 "The Archbishop of Canterbury has said he is "deeply concerned" over the arrest of a young Palestinian Christian woman in the West Bank. 24-year-old Layan Nasir was taken from her home by soldiers earlier this month and is now facing detention for four months without charge. Most Rev Justin Welby told Sky News her plight is a breach of assurances made by Israel about the treatment of Christians in the region. "[I am] deeply concerned to learn that she is now facing administrative detention for four months, without charge and with no due process for her, her family or lawyers to challenge this. ... Under administrative detention, people can be held for four months and which can be renewed every four months for up to two years. Fr Fadi believes it is a sad indictment: "I think the British need to repent for that and pressure the Israelis, because administrative detention in particular is against international law. ..."

Edited in: geniuses below who learned from fifth grade dropouts apparently never read that Herodotus called the land Palestine in the fifth century BC, as did Greeks before him, and before it was called 🇮🇱 it was called Canaan by Egypt, per stele discoveries. C. 1200 BC, the land was called Palestine by the Greeks and others. Historically, before it was called 🇮🇱 it was called Canaan by Egypt. There were no modern nations states then when those names were applied, so people now can use any or all of the three to apply to the land. C. 500 BC Herodotus called it Palestine. Before him, the Greeks called the land filista and linked it with the Philistines. Caught up in this mess are Palestinian ✝️ and Messianic ✡️ in the region and both have been treated badly by 🇮🇱 and by some ☪️ govt's, as has been shown by Tucker Carlson, ✡️ academics, and MSM both L & R. Many Palestinians trace back to 3100 BC (determined by a Megiddo DNA study). About 40% of them are ✝️, so it's obvious God preserved them along with everyone else. Around 1k in Gaza are ☦️ Christians and are also caught up in this mess. In the end, palestine ✝️, be they Catholic or Greek Orthodox messianic ✡️, ☪️, and ✡️ have to learn to live side by side in a two state solution and the majority of world opinion and governments supports this.
