No, there isn’t. I’m aware of reality. Goodbye.
Predator 5 is fucked already and I'm heartbroken.
Whatever, fuck Israel.
Mate, you have to go back further. Much, much further. This teenie strip of land has been in contention for thousands of years. It’s Israel’s. It was simply given back to them after WW2. Revisionist history is destroying the truth. In another 50 yrs, almost no one will even know anything about the plight of the Jews throughout history, much less the 20th century.
Back to the days of moses when the egyptians enslaved hebrews?
Hey keep Allah out of this
Lol, a little further forward, but just a little. In those tribal times, what we know as Isreal now was hotly contested by more tribes than I can remember. It even changed hands a few times too. Egypt would invade etc, Isreal would expand and piss off the Hitites (I think I spelled that correctly) and some such. Then the Roman empire occupied Isreal for some time. Jump forward some more and Muslims drove the Jews from Isreal and took everything, even the Temple mount, the holiest place in Isreal. The Jews had no where to go, so they spread out all over. At this point Isreal was practically no more. Jump forward again to Germany in the 1930s and we all know what happened there. After WW2, Isreal is restored by the UN, giving the Jews back their homeland after so many years in exile. Stalin tried exterminating them again (despite him having Jewish heritage himself!). Stalin actually had more people killed than Germany did. But this time, Isreal, backed by the U.S. and the UN gave the Jews a place to run to. Ever since then, the Palestinians have wanted Isreal back entirely, as well as the extinction of the Jews. Isreal is as close to a joint-state as the world has ever seen to date. Arabs can work, own businesses, vote, drive, go to school, dress any way they choose etc. Nothing is perfect, nothing can be, but I’ll be damned before I’ll feel bad about being pro-Isreal, or listen to antisemitic propaganda.
I feel the same thing is well on its way with Native Americans. They are losing their own culture rapidly. So many of those kids can’t even speak their own languages anymore, so the old histories are getting lost to time.
A friend of mine is a real whiz with his peoples (Jews) history.
Isn’t that the nature of time and progress?
Some stuff gets left behind?
It is, sadly. But all those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And if history is erased and rewritten, then the future generations will know nothing but whatever totalitarian overlords tell them.
If you ever get the chance (and hurry! They’re really frickin old!), talk to or at least watch some documentaries from Holocaust survivors. If they’re cognizant enough, their knowledge of history is amazing.
For example, I never knew until recently that I had a family member from Ohio that fought for the Union in the American Civil War. Though I have no children, I will now always be passing that down to cousins, nieces and nephews. Same with both grandfathers who served in WW2 in the European and Pacific theaters. I only wish I’d learned more before they passed.
Lol. Thats how I feel about this thread now. It’s original purpose has been bastardized beyond recognition.
BOOM!
What is that? I see that and some other similar gifs here all the time.

Unbrief summary - Arabs in the region saw the influx of Jews as a European colonial movement, and this is ontop of an ongoing holy war. The British couldn’t control the violence, and in 1947 the United Nations voted to split the land into two countries.
The Jewish residents accepted the deal. The Palestinians, who saw the plan as an extension of a long-running attempt push them out of the land, fought it. The Arab states of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria all later declared war on Israel, as well (albeit not to defend the Palestinians).
Israeli forces defeated the Palestinian militias and Arab armies in a conflict that turned 700,000 Palestinian civilians into refugees. The UN partition promised 56 percent of British Palestine for the Jewish state; by the end of the war, Israel possessed 77 percent — everything except the West Bank and the eastern quarter of Jerusalem (controlled by Jordan), as well as the Gaza Strip (controlled by Egypt). It left Israelis with a state, but not Palestinians.
Whole process really culminated in 1948 – and it still continues today but to create the State of Israel, Zionist forces attacked major Palestinian cities and destroyed some 530 villages. Killing 13,000 something Palestinians in 1948, and more than 750,000 expelled from their homes and becoming refugees.
The truth is that there is no plan for the Palestinians because winners write history. Israel controls their supply lines entirely and are just going to try and maintain the untenable status quo for as long as they possibly can while continuing to expand settlements and their occupation & continue demolishing the surrounding territory until there is no longer a unified 70% unemployed ghetto that the Palestinians can claim as their own. That is the plan, eventually push them into the ocean. Could be reconciled if Israel stopped pursuing its manifest destiny in an occupied territory but we all know that’s not happening.
Israel believes that it, under any circumstance, cannot relinquish their surrounding holy war territory near the river jordan so they blockade it and intercept foreign aid, and any investigation into their war crimes or qualms about them shooting at kids at the wall or breaking ceasefires is anti-semitism and boo hoo if they get uppity about about it or some dude fires a rocket, cut off their water, electricity, and drone strike a village. Both sides believe god wants them to take the land and radicalized eachother to a point of ethnic cleansing. Just one side won so they’re free to establish their iron dome and use people as target practice. Really the brits knew what they were doing the way they split up gaza, eventually one side exterminates the other.
