I think we are seeing the same thing with Ukraine war. In 10, 15 years people will see the war for what it is- a progressive destabilization of Eastern Europe and intentional proxy war.

I was wondering what you meant by this but now I think I get it. We created a puppet state in Iraq to get a “buffer” against Iran. The same way Putin wants Ukraine to be its buffer against the rest of Europe. Did I get that right?

I agree with the rest of what you said.

That makes sense. I also hear that the laws of the Old Testament take considerable amount of inspiration from the Laws of Hammurabi; which was developed earlier in the Bronze Age.

probably running as early as 1200BCE

I could agree there was something “related” by 1200BCE at the EARLIEST. After all, Judahites, Edomites, and Qederites do not even show up till 900 BC; a few hundred years after the Amorite civilization begins its downward spiral (where some of their last traces are seen in the mixed ethnic group of Palmyra which has elements of Amorites, Arameans, and Arabs mixed together – even though they are virtually identical cultures).

I understand that Saddam Hussein was a terrible man. But it sucks that support from his opposition is what helped push this. They’re not bad because they are Shia; they are simply the worst of the people that opposed Hussein. This is what happens when you prop up puppet governments. The rights of the people aren’t important to the puppeteer.

Tl:dr: Even with Saddam Hussein’s death, Iraq never got its freedom.

Do you have a source for that? I would think the oldest passages of the old testament go back to the 900s at best. That’s why the oldest historical figure the bible has is Pharaoh Shoshank. I’d be surprised to see if anything from before the Bronze Age Collapse made it in (besides being vaguely Semetic).

I remember getting a device that came with Vista. I reinstalled Vista on it and it still sucked. I then installed a pirated version of Windows 7 on it; the performance difference was night and day. It’s not @[email protected]’s fault that Microsoft is certifying incompatible hardware.

Better summary: The IDF is making efforts to get civilian out of a combat area. Hamas is trying to keep them there as human shields.

I don’t even think Alex Jones could misinterpret the news this badly. At some point isn’t misinterpreting the same as spreading misinformation?

Who are you referring to here? A specific person or Americans in general?

Reread the thread and stop adding your own nonsense to support more mass murdering.

It seems I am wrong. I thought certain settler groups weren’t Israeli citizens to begin with.

I’s never the fucking time for male abuse victims to speak up and tell their stories

It’s never time to break the status quo, even if it means liberation for those considered in minority groups (in this case people assaulted by women vs people assaulted by men). I’m paraphrasing a MLK article passed around a few weeks ago.

In his letter sent from jail, King went on to criticize white moderates. He said that a white moderate is someone “who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom.” Such a person is, according to King, someone “who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’”

My point was that settlers are technically not considered Israeli.

settler group Uri Tzafon is not directly associated with the Israeli governmen

Isn’t that way we call them settlers?

People didn’t know better decades ago. Same as in US.

He already mentioned the houses Israelis built on bulldozed Palestinians houses.

I see what you mean. The original used 25 episodes to cover the part of the manga Brotherhood did in like 12. Still, season 1 of Brotherhood is my least favorite so I don’t recommend the original myself.

Because the ending to the original is so unsatisfactory?

Whole world is looking quite pathetic right now.

50 codefendants in a case against one woman? How horrific.

Thank you to the French women doing this. However, since this is France, my biggest worry is this will be shot down with a big red flag/note saying:

How can we fix this when the government keeps protecting the real rapists: minorities

• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
• Death Note
• The Apothecary Diaries
• Ranking of Kings

All of these animes have a fantastic story that even people who don’t regularly watch anime’s will love.
