Judaism, Christianity, Islam and a few other religions (Rastafarianism for example) are part of the same family of religions, called “Abrahamic Religions”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abrahamic_religions In Islam, “Allah” literally means “God”. It’s the same God that Jews and Christians believe in. Arab Christians call God “Allah”.

When it comes to the bible itself, “the Quran mentions the Torah, Psalms, and Gospel as being revealed by God in the same way the Quran was revealed to Muhammad” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_view_of_the_Bible

Bro, the Book of Isaiah is not a «Christian text». It is part of the Torah, the Old Testament. In fact, it’s canon for Muslims too.

You are writing shit that is racist as fuck.

Netanyahu is taking Israel down a very very dangerous path. This will not end well.

Ah, we went from right to self defence to right to retaliate? What’s next?

Enjoy your forever war then.

You’re right. There should be a cease fire so neutral international observers can go investigate.

Excellent point. I propose a cease fire so international observers can enter Gaza to verify these claims.

The government of France bans protests… I’ve heard that one before I think. What did the French do after?

You don’t know anything about history.

They will not leave. They will hunker down and survive. Hope for better days. Conquered people have done this for all of history. Hell, Jews have done this exact thing over millenia, for them survival itself is success, it’s the bedrock of so many of their celebrations. Ironically, this it seems is a lesson they might end up passing to the Palestinians.

That is patently false. Of course Palestinians have been using non violent civil society tactics for a very long time. What do you think the vilified BDS movement was/is about? Looking for a Mandela figure? Look up Marwan Barghouti. The problem is that every time moderate Palestinians become even a tiny bit successful at making their voice heard internally or externally, either Israel in an official capacity or the dominant nationalist Israeli political powers and their allies within and without move in to completely stifle them. This in turn allows only the most extreme Palestinian voices to survive, since in the absence of a public opinion with a Conscience and a Decency to listen to NV movements, extreme violent movements are the only ones that can thrive on persecution.

One day, the Afghani people will rise up and throw these reactionaries in the dust bin of history.

Ukraine is tiny. It’s roughly the same size as Texas.

TIL that Texas is tiny.

Listen buddy, you seem to think that if we say that Ukraine is not a small country, that somehow gives Russia glory or something. That’s silly.

PS. I’m Canadian, if that means anything in this context.

Use Ctl-F. Got your answer? Now go away.

Maxim Katz has explained that these kinds of deranged declarations are not directed at us. They are a kind of symbolic self-humiliation of Medvedev to prove to Putin that he is still loyal. It’s “look I am willing to appear so wretched and ridiculous to the foreigners, I could not possibly be a threat to you, I am not some kind of alternative that could replace you, I am such a silly man, please don’t throw me out of a window”.

I deeply despise the nationalist gangsters that make up the Russian elite, but this blaming of “Russian citizens” is either incredibly stupid or downright fascist. What do you propose to do to 116 million people (80% of 146 million) as punishment for …approving Putin? What kind of court are you envisioning? What kind of procedure for establishing what kind of guilt? And even if we do accept the utterly moronic idea that there is guilt in a population like that, how do you separate the guilty from the remaining 30 million “innocent” people? Or is the arbitrary “punishment” of 30 million innocents an inconvenient side-effect of your spite?

Ukraine is no small country, either in terms of area or population.
