The happiest and most enviable men who are those who can go home to a wife and kids that love them. It's not the Andrew Tates of the world. A man must...

Thanks for bringing this up. True. Let's distinguish between the two according to Chabad: Emunah: Emunah, however, is an innate conviction, a percepti...

Very strange statement from the EU on Syria: The European Union strongly condemns the recent attacks, reportedly by pro-Assad elements, on interim gov...

The term is also essentially meaningless these days. Anyone living in historical Palestine is technically a Palestinian. So Benjamin Netanyahu is a Pa...

You seem like you're in a vengeful mood. Hundreds of Alawites, Kurds and Shia killed in Syria these past couple days and the world could not seem to c...

They could lose it 20x. Doesn't change the fact they are the indigenous inhabitants. Nor does it change the fact that Palestinianism is simply a front...

If you knew your history -- if history actually mattered to you -- you would know that the Palestinians are colonizers. So Israel retaking land in Gaz...

Biblical writers & ancient redactors didn't know that the Americas existed. They weren't discovered until many centuries after the Bible was written. ...

It's a word with various shades of meaning depending on the language and the context. It's the Greek ?????? (pistis) - to have trust or confidence in ...

Israel could annihilate them at any point. Yet it does not. Israel has nukes, chemical weapons, yet it restrains itself. Surely if it sought to exterm...

Yes. And it is important for a group to protect itself against others who seek its own annihilation.

Genocide is always wrong. Gaza was purged of Jews as was much of the West Bank - Judea & Samaria. What happened to the Jews of Bethlehem? Or Hebron?

Well, if Protestants murdered 1/3 of Europe's Catholics 80 years ago including members of your family that might alter your perspective both towards y...

We would need to trust our sources regarding which man is Caesar and that he was indeed crossing the rubicon and not some other body of water. I'm not...

Even if we went back in time our eyes or senses could be deceiving us. Or we could just be misunderstanding the historical event. IMO certain historic...

Which year do things start to be relevant to you?

Yes, history is irrelevant. Islam clearly no longer seeks to spread. Carry on. Is there any point at which history becomes relevant to you?

The original Islamic expansion was not caused by some "cycle of violence" type logic. From its inception, Islam has simply been a religion that seeks ...

I agree that 9/11 was unspeakably awful and deserves condemnation. We should say the same of 10/7. I'm sure you know that Arab massacres of Jews in Pa...

The victims of 10/7 didn't commit atrocities. The attempted bus bomber a few days ago did not target people who committed atrocities. What would you s...

What if it were your immediate family? Or what if your tribe/group had a history of persecution by another group and it's once again at your doorstep?...

No I meant I'm Jewish. And you're a state apologist as well given you supported the American Revolution and the creation of a new state from England a...

I've discussed this issue with many TPF users and I've only accused one of anti-semitism and it's not you. But yes, I'm situated. I was born to a cert...

The Palestinians were slaves... that's a new one. So what did their Zionist taskmasters assign them?

What are your thoughts on the decision to fight the revolutionary war and declare independence from Great Britain? Justified or no? I have not claimed...

Civilizations must win wars/be able to defend themselves to be civilizations. They must sometimes use lethal force against criminal or terrorist eleme...

You may not care whether a death was intended or not, but civilized nations do.

Until I hear an explanation for the Bucha massacre this sounds like Putin apologetics. Israel has never went into Gaza or the West Bank and hog-tied h...

Like when several Arab nations immediately attacked Israel from all sides and Israel didn't just roll over and die. What a travesty! :lol: But yes, cl...

1) Is intention morally relevant to you? 2) You do realize intention isn't purely internal, correct?

ISIS doesn't have an air force either.

You can condemn airpower as inhumane, but without it you jeopardize allied victory and ensure a much more deadly ground war. Now I wonder whether nava...

Ok, so an allied bomber who strikes a weapons factory where the debris ends up hitting a nursery in the area and killing 10 babies is equivalent (if n...

You presented an idea - a universal rule of thumb - and then rejected my historical application of that principle. :up: What other wars/time periods a...

The US did kill many more Japanese babies than Japan killed US babies. Additionally, we should note the difference between the intentional murder of b...

So whichever side kills more babies is the bad side? Is that how we see history?

So the two Bibas brothers (4 and 10 months) were brutally murdered by Palestinian civilians a month after being captured with their bare hands via str...

Let me ask you something: If a group of LGBT people did burn Paul's letters, and then a group of Christians arrived and began attempting to murder the...

Sorry about the break up. I hope the US and Europe can still be friends. Anyway, in the event that a broader scale war in the Middle East does break o...

Fair point. I'm thinking though that the EU should be able to contain Russia. It can fund Ukraine as appropriate. It might actually be beneficial if t...

Yes. It is the reason why there is a conflict. More states were suppose to become Muslim, not less.

Yes, consequences for sure. I suggested it would go away if the Arab countries choose to accept them and integrate them into their populations. And al...

Zero apologies offered. The Muslims come in and take by the sword, but then cry foul when they are defeated by the sword by that land's previous owner...

Yes, it became Arab because Arabs conquered it in the 7th century under one of their caliphates. Just as they conquered many cities and regions at tha...

I'll tell you what you don't do: You don't go on a multi-decade terror spree and deepen enmity with an enemy who is stronger than you. It would be lik...

Ancient history determines current reality. Jews have lived continuously in the land since antiquity. Jewish identity was formed in the land. I unders...

Some of them fled because Arab leaders told them to. Some of them fled for fear of the Israeli army coming to their towns. Some of them fled because a...

The original UN plan had the territory divided between Jewish and Muslim land. The Arab Muslims rejected any independent Jewish state, so the moment o...

The Philistines were likely from Crete or somewhere in the Aegean. They were not Arabs.

One hundred years ago "Palestinianism" wasn't a thing, and hopefully it won't be a thing in another hundred. Meanwhile, the Jews continue 3000+ years ...
