@50tv70 Muslims make up 18.1% of the country we call "Israel". That doesn't include Gaza, which is 100% Muslim. That means that Palestinians DO live in Israel and they have the SAME rights as Israeli Jews. They can vote, run for office, own their own homes and businesses, join the military and police forces, just like Jews can. In fact, it was a Muslim judge who sentenced Ehud Ohmert, who was once the PM of Israel and a Jew, to prison in an Israeli court, for 16 months for corruption. The UN can say what it wants but that doesn't make it true.

@50tv70 I never said that what the UN says is unimportant. I said that this resolution is based on a false premise. That's a HUGE difference. Even if it was approved by every member of the UN, which it wasn't, it still doesn't make it correct. The truth isn't accepted through a popular votes. Truth, or right/wrong, is reflected and accepted through facts and facts only. What you're doing is appealing to authority, which is known an illogical fallacy. Human history is filled with instances of the majority oppressing the minority. Majority is tempered with a thing called a "Constitution" to make sure that the majority doesn't oppress the minority. Majority rule doesn't necessarily mean correct.

On the farm, when the well ran dry, we went digging new wells, in hopes of striking water. In town, we call the city and complain until THEY do something. In the country, there is no "they". Ultimately, it's going to be up to you to fix the problem. You can ask for help from your neighbour but you're still the one responsible.

I asked a friend what he'd do if he turned on the kitchen tap and no water came out. The same with all his other taps. He said he'd call the town to let them know and then he'd expect the town to fix the problem. I told him that this happened a lot on the farm. However, we didn't call the town. We checked the well. If empty, we went looking for another likely spot to dig a well. Until that was dug, we'd buy water and a truck would come and fill our cistern or well. In other words, we'd handle it ourselves. That demonstrates the independence of those who live in rural areas and the dependence that urban dwellers have on the governments who supply such things.

I'd say it's because there multiple reasons why people are leaving. This video would have lasted hours if he was to cover everything. So, I'll do it for him. "Crime is another reason why people are leaving". Is that better.....except now I'm the one that's ignoring all the other reasons and there are LOTS of them.

@Roman49837 I consider myself a Liberal. I will listen to new ideas, respect the freedom that allows others to have ideas different than my own and most importantly, the ability to accept or reject ideas based on the merits of those ideas. For some reason, Liberals, these days, think that I must accept and respect all ideas that are presented to me or I'm a bigot, a hateful person. Anyone who would force me to do that is NO Liberal. They're narcissistic authoritarians, using bullying tactics to either censor or, as in many places, literally erase me from the planet. I've listened to those lefties in NYC and I reject their ideas based on their merit. Their ideas lack in logic, based on misplaced sympathy, are unworkable and the evidence is how their ideas are destroying that city. It's quite obvious but those, who support those ideas, aren't Liberal enough to reconsider their stance or to listen to anyone who might offer new ideas. To me, that's not liberal. It's bullheaded, narcissistic and they're using their ideas as proof of their virtue and it doesn't matter to them how their ideas are hurting everyone, especially the ones that they claim to care about. They're NOT Liberal. They're bullies, forcing their beliefs on others through threats of violence, which they'll use, quite gleefully in rampages, destroying the neighbourhoods of those they they claim they're helping. Nothing liberal about that.

@kevinallies1014 That's weird. The US has around 7.6 million Jews living there. It's been a functioning society since WW2 although things are getting bad recently. Israel has a 73% Jewish population and it's an extremely well functioning society while Gaza, which is almost 100% Muslim, is a mess, spending all their money on arms and military infrastructure. Where did you get the idea that God told Hitler do rid Europe of all Jews? Did he also tell Hitler to invade my country, steal food and household goods off my family and imprison my uncle for 2 years? Did God tell Hitler to execute people, in town squares, to demonstrate Hitler's power? You better read your Bible again. "Love thine enemies" doesn't include starving, beatings and assembly line executions of the innocents, and instigating a war that led to the deaths of close to 50 million people in the most brutal conflict in human history. Your's is a most twisted view of God and morality that I've ever heard.

@50tv70 No....we accept them if we believe that they're correct and fight them if we think they're wrong. No one is infallible and accepting things because some higher power says that we must, is the very definition of tyranny. It's what every authoritarian government has strived for throughout history. They want blind acceptance and obedience and it's been proven, throughout history, to be extremely deadly. It was people that followed blindly, who were at the heart of the cause of WW2 and dozens of other horrors in my lifetime.

@tsb7911 Then why are people leaving those states? You're not responding to what this video is about, either. For the first time, in California history, it's population went down in 2021. Could it be that those states were doing great because they weren't as radically socialist in the past. It WAS a great place to do business and the Fortune 500 companies thrived. However, the radical left has taken over the politics of those states. They hate capitalism and want a state run economy. That's bad for business. It's bad for the Fortune 500 companies. It explains why Elon Musk left California and why Oracle, another tech giant, has just announced that they're leaving California for Tennessee. This is the Roman Empire. They were the richest, most powerful force of their time. Yet, the western Empire collapsed. You're no different than the Roman who, as the collapse is beginning, is maintaining that the Empire is the greatest nation on earth and that the rest of the world would be lost without them.....but it isn't is it. There's your response. Your infinity lasted one day.

@REL602 Yet, it's the sophisticated educated urban populations that come up with some of the weirdest ideas imaginable and other suburbanites take them seriously. As Thomas Sowell once said, university professors suffer no consequences for their intellectual musings. They start some of the most damaging political ideas in history and then, when it goes south, move on to some other idea that doesn't work either. Education does not indicate intelligence or common sense.
