  1. In America the Cherokee did have a "Nation", and created a written language. When President Jackson wanted to move them out of Georgia, the Cherokee Nation took their case to the Supreme Court and won. Jackson moved them out anyway.

  2. There's a TV series in Turkey which had an episode showing the Blood Libel, an actual scene where a 12 year old Turkish boy is kidnapped and held in a basement and killed for his blood to make Matzah. Primetime Turkish TV.

  3.  @McSkore08  The new left in America dates to the late 1970s and I've experienced here exactly what she described in college back in the 1980s at San Francisco State where Angela Davis taught.

  4.  @musopaul5407  "Not consulted", ah, check again. I was with you till you said that. She was correct about the Grand Mufti, who made the mistake of befriending Hitler.

  5.  @rapidloving  Original poster made a succinct statement about history, you did not.

  6. There's an academy award winning movie showing the "terrorism" of Haganah, not a secret. Also a book by Mark Twain describing the holy land in the late 19th Century.

  7. No, the "claims" were never made in this fashion, and Israel is a secular state with Arab citizens, not a "Jewish Kingdom", only a safe harbour homeland. Hamas claims the religious right to exterminate all Jews. Very different.

  8. What "bias"?

  9. indigenous people in America say no one "owns" the land, so you can't have it both ways.

  10. Are you saying the term "Palestinians" was not created in the 1960s as a political designation?

  11. I've been to the Arch of Titus and seen the carved Menorah first hand, the next day was in the old Jewish Ghetto. its been there since before Christ crucified, my camera was taken away by police because it appeared I was taking pictures of an elementary school there. They checked my passport and saw the name "Cohen", and both laughed out loud, but still asked me to erase the photos, which I faked doing. Time is funny, also needs perspective.

  12. No debate necessary. Hamas claims the religious right to exterminate all Jews. Let's deal with that, then a civil debate is possible.

  13. Really, almost every State House in America, every Courthouse, had Moses and the 10 Commandments on the walls, inside and out. We have one State, Utah, which is modeled as the New Zion, its churches are all in the form of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. You are grossly incorrect. Read George Washington's letter to the Jews.

  14. "Cause", don't think she has one, as she described, the "cause" was imposed on her by the racist left. listen again.

  15. "faith" she is in no way a religious Jew, in fact, she made it clear the "Jew" has been projected on her by the left, and apparently people like you. I experience the same intersectional labeling here in America.

  16. Here's unbiased: HAMAS has a charter which calls for genocide, that the Jews are the enemy of G_d and it is their duty to kill them all. Hezbollah has the same, and Iran calls for same. No bias, just fact. The grand mufti of Jerusalem befriended Hitler, well documented, even photos.

  17.  @cliffdixon6422  Maybe Gideon Levy.

  18. Native Americans believe no one owns the land. Can't have it both ways.

  19. Israel is a secular State whose foundation is a homeland for Jews. There are Arabs on the Knesset, no comparable diversity in Gaza or the West Bank.

  20. The 2nd Temple in Jerusalem has been there for over 2,000 years, nothing "nomadic" about it.

  21.  @Sphere723  Gaza has not been "occupied for over a decade, so not "perpetual"? But population is an issue, no doubt.

  22. Hamas claims the religious right to kill all Jews. What do you think of that?

  23. Starting in the middle-ages, about the time of the crusades, it was not just said in prayer, but as a toast: "Next year in Jerusalem", spoken at holiday gatherings for 1,000 years.

  24. British colonial guilt being expressed as anti-semitism by the Left. Yes, de-colonialization's has its greatest symbol in the State of Israel.

  25. Political Zionism had over 100,000 members at the end of the 19th Century, 45 years before the end of WW2.

  26. how so?

  27. How so?

  28. Hamas claims an "unalienable" right to kill Jews as they are the enemy of G_d. Very different.

  29. how so? she made an argument, you have not.

  30.  @mcp1981  What bias is that?
    1
  31.  @musopaul5407  A "few" political Zionists? The membership at the end of the 19th century was over 100,000. Hardly a "few"? Members of my own family walked from Imperial Russia to their homeland in 1904.

  32.  @12235117657598502586  Not true, especially today with photographs and video. The Japanese have successfully written the history of Hiroshima. Recorded History is now very different.

  33. 114mm homemade rockets that only temporarily came through, not anymore.

  34. Fine, try to defend the genocidal charter of Hamas, which calls for the extermination of Jews as the enemy of G_d, a belief shared by billions of muslims. There are less than 20 million Jews on the planet. That should give you a good dismount from your gymnastics.

  35. Why? For over 200 years every courthouse in America has Moses and the Ten Commandments on it. The Supreme Court in DC has a sculpture of Moses on its outside pediment holding the two tablets. The early settlers gave themselves names taken from the Old Testament and the entire state of UTAH is known as THE NEW ZION. She spoke the truth.
