Comments by "Julian Petkov" (@julianpetkov8320) on "Merkava: The perfect Tank?" video.
The Merkava is my favorite tank. I think it is a brilliant idea to combine an armored transport vehicle with a tank. It's one of those - "Why didn't I think of that" wonders.

@TheEvertw IDF contractors have proper government oversight too, unlike the Pentagon under the table deals.

@TremereTT Urban combat is what counts. Nobody fights retro style anymore. That, and the fact that tanks have been obsolete dead-weight for almost a century.

@asafgl4281 LOL US "Foreign" Aid is a Money Embezzlement Scheme for the Congress. That's why the Congressmen "love" Israel, because Israel turns a blind eye for the sake of good relations.

@adude8424 When the Anatolians invented "Hebrew", Arabic was one of the languages they threw in the mix. Hebrew was mostly a cryptographic tool for secure communications with their trade colonies. The Anatolians who were stationed at the trade colonies became known as the Diaspora (Greek was probably the true language of the Anatolians).

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 It's not Arabic. This is what it has to do with the topic.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 The Diaspora happened before the Punic wars. There were already Anatolian trade colonies in South Europe and North Africa (aka "Phoenicia"). Hebrew or its early version "Phoenician" was in use at the time.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 I think the official narrative is wrong. Anatolia is full of archeology all the way up to Syria. Lebanon is just a colony not a starting point. The Romans creating the Diaspora is a myth even the official narrative is contradicting. The official narrative admits that it was the "Phoenicians" who transported the "Jews" to the Diaspora. But they left some uncomfortable explaining to do - why would the Phoenicians waste valuable cargo space, to transport refugees. Nope! They were transported for a profitable purpose and the activities they engaged in explain it. They were trade representatives. So they were the same ethnicity as the Phoenicians. In another words - Greeks from Anatolia. As I said before, "Hebrew" is not Arabic and it is an artificial language created for secure commercial mail.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 It's the official narrative on how the Jews got to North Africa and South Europe. Do you think they had ships of their own? How are you going to argue against it? "The Romans transported them there." - how, why? I am telling you that the Romans had nothing to do with the Diaspora, it is a myth.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 Yet the evidence points that they were not slaves but merchant communities. If they were slaves, they would have melted away into nothing. There is land connection if you want to travel for months, for some obscure reason. I told you before that the official narrative contradicts itself and there is a reference from ancient text that the Phoenicians brought them there.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 Mordechai Nisan - Identity and Peoples in History Speculating on Ancient Mediterranean Mysteries The Levantine Review Volume 4 Number 2 (Winter2015) ISSN: 2164-‐6678134 The author explains it well, though he still doesn't realize that the "Phoenicians" the "Greeks" and the Anatolians are the same people. For this to happen, he has to add 2 and 2 together: The Minoan Origin of Tyrian Purple Author(s): Robert R. Stieglitz The Biblical Archaeologist, Vol. 57, No. 1 (Mar., 1994), pp. 46-54Published by: The American Schools of Oriental Research There is a lot more evidence!

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 "the land connection to north africa doesn't take months to cross, not even close. you can cross the sinai peninsula in a few days" How long do you think from Beirut to Carthage? ...or Beirut to Malaga? Crossing unknown and hostile territories! "the jews already survived exile and occupation by foreign powers many centuries before that. also, not all of them were slaves, some of them simply fled the country" Nobody "flees the country" to the other side of the world. Just admit it, you have no explanation why the Diaspora conveniently overlaps the Phoenician and the Greek colonies.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 Nothing. What is wrong with clarifying that Hebrew is not Arabic. You are overreacting a little bit.
1
@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 This is based on the fact that there is an incredible shortage of (any) Phoenician documents (for a huge empire), and an overabundance of documents in Greek. What was Phoenician/Hebrew really used for. I gave you a very good and rational explanation. "Most people..." - most people who get their world view from the Discovery Chanel. Most people believe that the Romans erased Carthage from the earth. Yet the Councils of Carthage are held only a few centuries later. The official narrative is silent about its many embarrassing contradictions. You are free to believe whatever suits you, I am going to stick with what the evidence is pointing too.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 I think you are arguing just for the sake of arguing. Arabic became a thing much later and it inherited the cryptographic features of Phoenician/Hebrew.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 The vocabulary, not the script. The Greeks took words from all their trading colonies to create Phoenician/Hebrew. Now ask yourself - who would need to write right to left using ink, and how easy do you think it is, without smudging the paper and your hand! The script tells you that it is designed to confuse the person who has captured the letter and trying to decipher it. Arabic script did not become a thing until much later and it inherited the cryptographic features of Phoenician/Hebrew. You are just not using your brains. In fact, you don't even care for the issue you are arguing. You are trying to pick some semantic faults for the sake of argument.

@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 PS, Phoenician/Hebrew is not the only artificial language in existence. We also have Esperanto and Klingon, amongst others. Developing an open mind is the first step to knowledge.
