Quote from: K-Dog on Mar 29, 2026, 06:07 PMI thought you could read.  Maybe a few more articles will help.  One of them might have a more appropriate vocabulary for you.

Anybody can read. I tend to stick to thinking about what I read, watching out for biased opinions against facts. For example, anyone pretending May 15 signifies ethnic cleansing of a people that attempted to exterminate their neighbor  with the help of 5 entire naitons helping out is trying to set a narrative. Thinking reveals this easily. Rather than taking the narrative hook, line and sinker. Certainly their was ethnic cleansing involved. And those with that idea in mind had the tables turned on them, I certainly agree.

Punished for the sins of their fathers and grand fathers. As far as more articles, hey, this is the internet. Any perspective, particularly those on social topics or suspect humans, ain't science. And guess what? Science doesn't work either, as I have demonstrated again and again through the years. People find the information they want, and reference it.

The internet has been a disaster for the truth, but wonderous for finding any opinion that agrees with one self, and presto! Proof!

Just look at folks like Gail, Ugo, Charlie and everyone else who dared venture forth without at least ASKING what might torpedo their internet musings.

Ok then, rather than appeal again to the voluminous mountain of facts which like Trump you will dismiss. I'll tell you why going in this direction any further will get you in the cooler.

My father's father was a minister of a church.  As you might guess I was raised in a slightly religious atmosphere.  The church I attended as a child often had guest speakers.  Ministers of churches from the heart of Africa with thick accents I could hardly understand.  Skin as black as ink.  There were also guest speakers from Israel.  European and friendly, hardly different from Americans it seemed.  I forgot what international conflict exposed the Zionist speakers as the racist bigots they are.  But it happened, and after that it was only the black ministers from Africa with their thick accents that were invited to the church.

Jews are not in charge of Israel, Zionists are in charge, and while most Zionists are Jews, not all Jews are rabid racist Zionists.  Most are not.  And I have known that for more than fifty years.  The passing decades have only confirmed the facts, in particular the last three years have.  So don't push your luck.  You won't have any.

Quote from: TDoS on Mar 29, 2026, 06:29 PMToo bad the Americans didn't express that intent during the War of 1948 very much. It certainly showed up through time though, and worked well, Israel now not the underdog but the military super power in the region,, with some help from its friends.

Israel didn't become a military juggernaut in a vacuum, the investment capital to do that came entirely from Amerikan, Brit, Swiss & (yes) German multinational banks, primarily the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, Lloyds, the BoE and the SNB.  This money began flowing in shortly after the Brits handed over Palestine to the  new Israeli goobermint, which had its roots in the Irgun and the political parties that grew out of it. https://www.lycoming.edu/schemata/pdfs/sellers.pdf 

Why were these banks so keen on lending gobs of money to a violent bunch of terrorists who right from the beginning were blowing up hotels and killing as many Arabs as they could?  It's not like they had a whole lot of collateral or high paying jobs.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, despite the fact we're not privy to the minutes of the meetings prior to 1948.  Generally speaking, such things only become apparent in retrospect.

If you're going to misread history and draw faulty conclusions, it would be helpful if you actually knew the history a little better.  You might at least watch Exodus for the sanitized propaganda version anyhow.
