  1.  @ln6593  Sorry, was thinking of Queen Noor of Jordan, she was born in Washington DC.

  2. Teachers unable to raise grades, lower standards. Same done with crime statistics, unable to end crime, decriminalize it and stats look good.

  6. 28:56 Japanese military were on hand when Billy Mitchell demonstrated that air power could sink Battleships. Japan started working on air power then. The US did not have B-29s until late in the war, it was the small, ironically named, B-25 Mitchell bomber which was first used to bomb Tokyo in 1942. I don't understand this guy's spin, or point of view?

  7. No, Balfour and Sykes Picot were before WW2 and creation of a post-Colonial world as chartered by the United Nations. Israel was created in the spirit of post-colonialism, as was Jordan in 1946, and dozens of other nations in the first 10 years after WW2. I'd always thought the clock should have been reset, and 1946 should have been year ONE.

  8.  @kavisattva  Yes, and some of those Bosnian Muslims SS folks made their way into the 1948 conflict, too. PA leader Abbas considers Husseini a Hero and there's even a recent movie out of Egypt praising him.

  14.  @universalsoldier2293  Yeah, the Cherokee owned slaves, so did Jews, and one native American was even a General in the Civil War, but CRT is not about history or slavery, those are only tactics in the framework of a larger strategy.

  18. For Britain especially, being at the forefront of the industrial revolution, slavery had become economically untenable, it was actually cheaper to have wage slaves than body slaves. Slavery would have collapsed in America in the same way if not for the insurrectionists.

  19. Are you saying Tel-Aviv is "occupied", or that Egypt and Jordan did not annex those areas, or that Jordan is an Apartheid by law, restricting the number of Christians in government and academia, and there are now Jews.

  20.  @Absolute42  "Imperialists". What "Imperial" powers are there in the world today? "Our Civilians"?

  21. Dawkins is excruciatingly inarticulate on this matter. Not only are the stars far away now, the are getting further away every moment, which means the likelihood decreases with time/space expansion. Unless the speed of light is not constant, something being again seriously considered, especially during the first epoch after the big bang, chances are tit is irrelevant if we are alone or not.

  22. Three of my closest childhood friends died on LSD between 1969 and 1974 in Los Angeles. The "chemical" did not kill them they way fentanyl or alcohol does, but no question LSD was the cause. I also lived within sight of the Spahn Ranch where Manson manipulated his cult with sex and LSD. I did not "die", nor was I injured by the chemicals I used, but this was luck, not because the chemicals were not dangerous. There's a billion dollar investment in psychedelic pharma right now in Canada, the USA, and the UK. Careful what you wish for, AND MAY THE FORD BE WITH YOU - Aldus Huxley, "Brave New World".

  25. False premise, the land is not "occupied", that is Soviet era propaganda. Answer this: IS TEL-AVIV OCCUPIED? By your logic Jordan is occupied, made a nation/state by Britain. Should the land go back to the Ottoman?

  26.  @GlobalAtlantis101  I wasn't sure that's where you were going, and agreed. There's schoalrshiop on how the Soviets instructed Arafat and others on creating the oppressed identity so they could ally were other groups around the world, like the IRA and the ANC. Even current PA President Abbas earned his PhD equivalent at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. The "resistance" did not start in 1947/48, but in earnest after WW1. You may be interested in reading this Arab promise to the British if they allowed for a Jewish homeland. It's online in its original form as a PDF.

  28.  @hellothere3097  Yes, the author of the 1st draft of the Israeli Declaration of Independence was by a man born in Safed, his family had been in that city for centuries, the population reduced significantly by ethnic and religious cleansing.

  29. What you call the "Wokerati" do not care about the content of your story, it is not "history" they teach, but a framework for thinking about all things, even math. The values of the past. whether "good" or "bad" does not matter, both are believed to be beyond their time and irrelevant to the future. You and your history are irrelevant to the future.

  30. I'm 67, this reminds me of the moral and righteous indignation of those who sought to censor rock and roll in the 1960s, how ironic, or maybe not.

  31. I've worked in the Jazz business since the late 1970s, to say "bigotry" does not exist between fellow musicians is nonsense. Art Pepper, in his book, "Straight Life" referred to the early 1960s as a time of "Crow Jim", reverse bigotry, and I've had many musicians confirm that story. No question the base impulses of endemic bigotry is often moderated by talent and professional self-interest, but it often dissipates and breaks down after a performance. I've seen it happen many times.

  32. 1930s Pan Am built a series of airports into the Pacific to reach the Philippines and then Hong Kong. Japanese understood this route could easily be turned into military bases.

  34. Google searches increasingly return lists of rhetorical answers rather than fact based data.You have to click into page 5 or 6 to get the specific data points you are looking for. Perhaps we need to incentivise data more than feelings and anecdote.

  35. My great grandparents left "The Russian Pale of Settlement" in the 1880s, very grateful they did, otherwise they would have been on this list, too, and for very good reason.

  44. "Actual History"? The post-WW1 history is well documented, available in many languages, and easily accessible online. Here's some "actual history", primary source from the Arabs themselves in 1921. Read it online: "Report on the State of Palestine presented to the Right Honourable Mr. Winston Churchill P.C., M.P. by the Executive Committee of the Third Arab Palestine Congress. Jerusalem, March 28, 1921." - Library of Congress

  46. Niall, good researcher, but a poor analysis makes for lousy conclusions. California imported workers from China but restricted immigration. What would California be like today if a population of almost a half a billion Chinese moved against the USA which at the time had less than 80 million, and California had less than 1.5 million. Walls, like fences, make for good neighbors.

  48.  @mortagon1451  Lindsay has done the scholarship, and clearly talks about his "agnostic" religious views while coming from the previous position as an atheist. He came to the conclusion about "gnosticism" and its Woke parallels before finding out this was a common scholarly position by many, including Jordan Peterson. Lindsay went into the mouth of hell to fight the dragon, he returned, but has scars from the fight. I thank him for his service.

  49.  @davidswanson5669  Greenwald hates America more than he hates Israel, and why he has lived outside the country for some many years. He is disingenuous about "proportionality" in war: "Moreover, as these clear numbers from the Economist demonstrate, the violence and carnage so disproportionately harm the Palestinians that to suggest some form of equivalence between the two sides borders on the obscene."- Greenwald "The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) According to the ICTY, the principle of proportionality means that the incidental and involuntary harm caused to the civilian population during a military attack must not be excessive in relation to the direct military advantage gained" When HAMAS imbeds in civilian structures and civilian groups like UNRWA and the Islamic Ambulance Corps, even among media outlets and hospitals, careful how you count that "disproportion".
