[@bsahmed1]

Brief history of the Levant or Palestine/Israel: The natives of the land of the Levant were pagans before Abraham started his mission in the 18th century BCE. Then they became Jewish majority before the Roman invasion of Palestine. They converted to Christianity over the next few centuries, which became the dominant religion by the 4th or 5th centuries AD. Muslims arrived in the 7th century AD and by the 10th century Islam became the dominant religion in Palestine. None of those conversions were forced. The adoption of each of these faiths was gradual and over centuries. The Romans didn't force the Jews out of Palestine. They suppressed their revolt by force. Jews lived all over the Roman world. Christian Byzantium did didn't force the Jews out of Palestine. Jews lived freely in Byzantium. Muslims neither forced Jews nor Christians out of Palestine. Those communities lived freely inside the Muslim world since the 7th century. This is a brief history of the Semitic Jews. To demonstrate this more clearly, we know that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, grew up in Nazareth, and left this world from Jerusalem, all Palestinian towns. He was a Palestinian Jew. Modern day Palestinians are the direct descendants of his people. The east European Caucasian Jews are not brown Semitic people. They adopted Judaism in East Europe over several centuries because they didn't accept Jesus as god. They faced persecution in Europe because of their belief. Then, they saw their opportunity after world war one when the Ottoman Empire which controlled Muslim Palestine collapsed. This accelerated after the Holocaust. They used their influence to colonize disposes, evict and destroy the local population. They created a European style imperial colony in an inhospitable land. To sustain this enterprise, they had to adopt a racist ideology which later morphed into a full blown apartheid state.

[@DharmYogi]

Conversions are never peaceful. Islam and Christmas have a real bloody history destroying so many cultures.

[@georgemioch8981]

@@bsahmed1clueless. Muslims spread their religion and way of life in blood and death. Especially since 14th century and Ottoman Empire. Muslims committed atrocities and genocide over local non-Muslim population since 7th century. Why are Muslims so predominant in Middle East and Northern Africa,‘territories where Judaism and Christianity were born? Because Muslims killed, took into slavery, converted everyone who was not a Muslim. Muslims gained the territory where Western civilization and culture were born, turned it into a shithole where they only multiply and fight their wars. My wife is from Balkans: 2 of her Great-great aunts were kidnapped and taken into slavery by Ottomans as recently as 1899. One managed to escape, but not before they cut her fingers on her right hand, so that she couldn’t cross as a Christian, poked her right eye, broke her ribs from beating. Those of us who know history know that Muslims and Islamists have always been on a mission to destroy Judeo Christian civilization and culture in blood and they are continuing to this day. Israel is sacrificing itself to protect the ultimate achievement of humanity: civilization and culture from evil that is Islam. Shame on you and your lies about peaceful coexistence. Where are all those Christians and Jews that lived peacefully, where are they today? You can tell your fairy tales but numbers tell different story. I really don’t understand how you people have no shame and dignity, but lie scrupulously…

[@georgemioch8981]

Also there’s no such thing as a group of ppl that’s been around for thousandths of years outside of the Americas and the islands. Everyone is mixed, especially Black, Brown, and White ppl from ancient times. North Africa, South Europe, West Asia. All the major civilizations were mixed. What’s happening now is nothing new except the balance of power has changed lol. Except the concept of race, that is a new and recent invention. Thousandths of years ago the human landscape looked a lot different than it does now that’s for sure. Most of the ppl that identify as “Jewish” are descendants of Turkish Khazars. The Israeli Historian Shlomo Sand proved this in his book “The invention of the Jewish People.” It was also a bestseller in Israel. There’s no so such thing as a homogenous Jewish ppl I recommend looking up Norman Finkelstein. He woke me up to the Palestinian struggle he’s an expert in the field for over 40 yrs.

It is not what you know, it is what you could have known if you wanted to find out. Please search for the truth. It is very easy to find it and once you do, you will be liberated from all biases and prejudice. There was peace and security in Palestine until the Zionist European invaders stole the land from the natives. Advice them to go back to their countries and leave the poor people alone. The last paradox is that the tale of Palestine from the beginning until today is a simple story of colonialism and dispossession, yet the world treats it as a multifaceted and complex story hard to understand and even harder to solve.

@@bsahmed1 Modern Muslims can live in Western Europe, North America, Australia, and enjoy equal rights. Why can't Jews live in Israel? And Israel’s initial land was purchased legally, and then you were punished for losing the land after you failed to launch a war. This is history that cannot be changed. The Druze and Arabs living in Israel have accepted the status quo and enjoy the only democracy and freedom in the Middle East.

The only reason the last resolution passed was because the US abstained. First, there has to be a pressure to change existing systems that aren't working.

What we all know is arms were created to take away the lives the creators created and yet they say the reason that these actions ( HAVE TOO HAPPEN ) is for PEACE FOR THE WORLD question how can death across the globe bring peace to anything this can't even bring us a piece of mind can it ? ❤

Silence is complicity

[@christopherbettridge5983]

We have a collective mandate to conscience; one that feels all too often denied by those who wish to justify why their boot is on another's neck by derogating the one upon whose neck they crush.....thank you to everyone who continue to speak out, especially those who put themselves at risk by doing so. Though words can be so hard to find for the atrocity that is unfolding in Palestine. "From a place of deep knowing......that we belong to each other"

God's promise is that justice will be served. It's a matter of time only.🎉🎉🎉❤

$450Billion oil and gas resources under Gaza it should be long to the Palestinians. Keep your eye on what happens with that. Ty

Hamas, The Taliban, The Muslim Brotherhood , ISIS, Al Queada, people that kill French cartoonists, Sunnis who kill Shites and vis a versa,all have something in common with Islam’s founding warlord. We all know his name.

Get out of the Zionist cocoon. Listen to Jews like Ilan Pappe, Gideon Levy, Norman Finklestein, etc. to educate yourself.

End the occupation

Replace it with what?

[@PaulHallelujahMaranatha]

@@benjaminfranklin8412 original peoples. In Palestine and N and S America and Australia

[@benjaminfranklin8412]

@PaulHallelujahMaranatha The original people were Jewish or were you referring to Canaanites? How are you defining original?

[@PaulHallelujahMaranatha]

@@benjaminfranklin8412 well it's true they were Canaanites. Hebrews genocided these and they are genociding those who have lived there for 1500 years before 1948... any way you look at it Hebrews are terrorists. So are the Europeans who genocided N and S America and Australia and enslaved Africa and India for centuries

[@anotherhurayra2024]
