Shame on Germany! Free PALESTINE!

Shame on you for being ignorant “Palestina” was an invented name by the antisemitic Roman emperor Hadrian as he wanted to wipe out the remembrance of the Jews in the region historically known as JUDEA. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭122‬:‭6‬ ‭ “Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121‬:‭4‬ “Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭72‬:‭18‬ ‭ 1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, NOT a Palestine State. 2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 3. Before The Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic State of Mamluks of Egypt, NOT a Palestine State. 4. Before the Islamic State Of Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish empire, NOT a Palestine State. 5. Before the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, NOT a Palestine State. 6. Before the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was Umyyad and Fatimid Empires, NOT a Palestine State. 7. Before the Umyyad and Fatimid Empires, there was the Byzantine Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 8. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Sassanids Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 9. Before the Sassanids Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 10. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 11. Before the Roman Empire, there was the Hasmonean State, NOT a Palestine State. 12. Before the Hasmonean State, there was the Seleucid Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 13. Before the Seleucid Empire, there was the Empire Of Alexander The Great, NOT a Palestine State. 14. Before the Empire Of Alexander The Great, there was the Persian Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, NOT a Palestine State. 16. Before the Babylonian Empire, there was the Kingdoms of Isreal and Judah, NOT a Palestine State. 17. Before the Kingdoms of Isreal and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Isreal, NOT a Palestine State. 18. Before the Kingdom Of Isreal, there was the Therocracy of the Twelve Tribes of Isreal, NOT a Palestine State. 19. Before the Therocracy of the Twelve Tribes Of Isreal, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite City Kingdoms, NOT a Palestine State. In all its history THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PALESTINE STATE but this piece of land has been under the rule of and been occupied by various rulers and kingdoms.

[@bayzidahammed8614]

Anyone who dares to raise their voice against Israel's relentless oppression and violence towards Palestinians is unfairly branded as antisemitic or a terrorist sympathizer. Such accusations are nothing but empty rhetoric aimed at stifling voices. Criticizing Israel is not about hating Jews; it's about holding Israel accountable for its atrocities. The forefront of these protests often includes both Jews and Arabs, making it clear that this isn't about ethnicity but about justice. The tired tactic of playing the antisemitism card has lost its power. Zionism poses a grave threat to US relations, democratic values, human rights, and our reputation on the global stage. It's no wonder we face threats from all corners. The world sees us as accomplices in Israel's genocidal actions, tarnishing our image. Zionism's days are numbered, thanks to the tireless efforts of freedom fighters, especially on university campuses..
