This is for the critical thinkers from the left on this thread-
This is a question for those leftists here that claim to be Christian. What part of this planet was/is owned by anyone? Which part of the planet was originally inhabited by a specific people? Did they not all spread out from Mesopotamia after the flood? How many replaced others after that, over and over again? Do you know?
For all of the leftist grifters and manipulators, and those deceptively posing as moderates-
Which piece of land hasn't been conquered and occupied by another tribe or people than first settled it?
Assyria?
Conquered by the Babylonians.
Babylon?
Conquered by the Medes and Persians.
Persia?
Conquered various times by different people, including the Greeks.
In turn the Romans conquered the Greeks.
Israel even. Israel has been conquered and resettled many times over. NO ONE in the land of Israel is an ORIGINAL inhabitant. One of the original SETTLERS of Jerusalem were the Jebusites and they were wiped out by the Israelites, who themselves were sent packing twice. Once by the Babylonians and once by the Romans. That entire land has been documented to have been conquered and resettled over at least 9 but probably over a dozen times.
Egypt- conquered by the Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans as well as other tribes of Africa.
Europe- the many peoples of Europe have been beaten, shaken, and sifted like wheat over thousands of years.
America- this entire hemisphere has seen the same shifting of tribes and people during that same time. Tribes conquering and displacing other tribes. Invaders seizing land and having it seized from them, enslaving people and then being enslaved themselves, happened here just like it did everywhere.
We have people working for us for pennies in Asia and South America, and all of you leftist idiots and rage-mongers buy into and feed the "athletes are slaves" bullsht without a second thought. GROW THE FK UP. Stop lying to yourselves and others.
That's the world we live in.
No one deserves a damn thing. No one owes you food or housing because you breathe oxygen. No one owes anyone a place to live.
The "Palestinians" are a fiction. Jews, Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Turks, Egyptians, Arabs, Idumeans, Babylonia, Assyrians, Philistines, Jebusites, Persians, English, French, etc, etc, etc, have lived there and been "displaced" over 5k years. No one owns it. No one has a right to it by blood or birth.
The only reason given (by the Israelites themselves) why Israelites were brought into the land by God's hand was that they agreed to keep His commandments. When they ceased to do so, they too were dispossessed of it. Twice.
Those currently controlling it were given land by England, who then had control of it. The surrounding countries and the Arabs within it who aligned themselves to the task decided to go to war to kick them out of it and failed. It's no longer up to anyone else what is done with the land, until someone conquers the Israeli government/military.
There is no apartheid. There is no Palestine. There are only people who lost their war and refuse to take care of themselves afterward, biting all hands that have fed them for the past 70+ years.
They could have made Gaza and the West Bank autonomous and thriving centers of trade and agriculture. They could have lured industry and manufacturers to the area. Banking and finance, shipping and trade. They REFUSE to do any of that. Their brethren by blood and religion in neighboring countries won't even accept them as refugees for that reason.
I'd be willing to guess that Africa, Asia, England, and mainland Europe wouldn't accept Americans with ancestry there if they behaved similarly. In fact, a lot of people whose ancestry is confirmed to not be slaves but slave owners haven't returned to their home countries, just like those who claim to have been "taken" (when in fact they were conquered and sold mostly by other African tribes) from the African continent refuse to return there permanently.
It's all bullsht. It's all a big pity party to grift more from others based on ignorance of history and the guilt that is easily manufactured in the absence of knowledge of it. It's all a convenient lie to keep them from being accountable to themselves and others, and honest with the same.
Edit- long because I know the trolls won't read it. Long so I can just refer them back to it rather than answer these inane idiots ever again on the subject. Pieced together from some editorial writing I'd done over the years. I'd do a condensed one on shots, but it would be deleted by mods again like they were back in 2020 and 2021 along with the links to dozens of studies and published, peer reviewed papers. Have a great day yall
