May 14, 1948, 5 PM Eastern time (in the US). The British Mandate in
#Palestine
expires and, as world leaders proclaim and recognize the new nation of
#Israel
, five Arab states attack.

Palestine and terrorism. They go way back. Even Haaretz, a notorious anti-Zionist publication, reported on their hand-in-glove collaboration.
@AmerZahr
The Arab world has been trying to get rid of Israel for 75 years. They have tried everything. Nothing has worked. By now, you would have thought they would have figured out the main thing:
When it comes to fighting wars, Arabs suck.

No, He was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, and died as a Jew. If you really think He was a Palestinian, then all I ask is that you be consistent. ⤵️

"There are millions of anti-Zionist ... Jews." Let's see, there are approx. 15 million Jews in the world. Conservatively speaking, 98 percent of them are Zionists. Which means approx. 300 THOUSAND are anti-Zionists. 😠 That's 300 thousand too many.
@Ruhichess
The two men really liked each other, even during the great match of 1972. I read that Spassky was stunned at the news of Fischer's death in January 2008. He spoke, "My brother has died." 😔

You couldn't be more wrong. I was an anti-Zionist Catholic until 9/11. You might have exulted at the sight of Palestinians reveling over the attack on the US ⤵️ but I didn't. It gave me cause to think twice. I studied, soul-searched, and converted. Now I'm a Zionist Jew.
@MariamBarghouti
Are you, by chance, related to Omar Barghouti, the faux intellectual who's credited with founding B(D)S? If so, then I don't know whom to feel sorry for more. 😅

So, majority rules? Majority is right all the time? The majority of Gazan voters elected Hamas people. It's just something to think about.

🕯🕯🍷Tja, ich konnte nicht das ganze Tisha B'Av nichts essen. Trank nur Wasser, Fruchtsaft, und schwarzen Kaffee. Nicht gerade aufmerksam. Ist es zu früh, sich auf die Hohen Heiligen Tage vorzubereiten? 🫤 Ich wünsche Euch ein gutes Wochenende. Prost! 🍻
Shabbat Shalom

🕯🕯🍷Es wäre schön, wenn der Krieg bis Hanukkah 🕎 vorbei wäre. 😔 Trotzdem, mir geht es gut. Ich fühle mich sicher. Ich wohne in einem judenfreundlichen Viertel. Darf nicht klagen. Ich hoffe, daß Dir alles gut geht. Euch ein gutes WE. Heja DEG! 🏒 🥅

No, it's a war. A war that Hamas started, but doesn't seem interested in winning. I mean, don't they want to create Palestine?*
*Not "free Palestine." How can you free something that never existed?
