People are far too worried about what kind of victim they are... America would be much better served if folks focused more on what kind of hero they could be, instead.

[@Jacksjarofdirt123]

No people are worried about clear antisemitic and other racist attacks. Yeah maybe what would be better is shutting up.

It’s not a binary choice.
I would argue that the biggest self-declared victims of all time are white middle aged (usually) Republican voters.
They characterise themselves as facing a holocaust. They have been gone as far as to build an entire on-line mythology to promote this spurious notion. They are so entranced by the idea of their own victimhood that they are willing destroy a 200 year old American tradition of the safe transition of power.
And yes the world would be a better place if they were being a little more productive with their time.

@@hastekulvaati9681 I think you have bought into a very fictional, fabricated narrative.

Of course there has been wrongdoing on both sides but clearly Israel are the ones most responsible, considering they are the occupying force, they are the ones to break the agreements more often than the other side and have caused considerably more civilian casualties over all.
Not to mention Israel's unnecessary political efforts, to undermine the recognition of Palestinian sovereignty and propaganda against the Palestinian people, to extend the conflicts as to cover up benjamin netanyahu's inadequate leadership.
Propaganda that also shamefully, pretends to make it look like Israel most often the aggressors, are the victims in the conflict they perpetuate.

Can you suggest a good book on the history of the Palestinian people in the 17th and 18th centuries?

[@chrisgriffin698]

@@CarsInDimension no sorry, I i'm dyslectic I do not know of any books that would help you.

@@chrisgriffin698 How does one measure the historical claims of the Palestinians if no such history exists?

[@chrisgriffin698]

@@CarsInDimensionI would not look as far back as the 16th to 17th centuries as to justify a never ending state of war, as I'm not crazy.
If you where to do so all kinds of governments from Germany the UK, USA and so on would be attacked endlessly as well.

David says his family was rich but then they died. Does this somehow change the fact that up until that point his family was rich? Maybe his words mean something different.

[@deeznutz8320]

Most Jewish families are rich

[@iainrobb2076]

@@deeznutz8320 But they blame whites for their own privilege by classifying themselves as whites, as it suits them, while also absolving themselves from discrimination under 'affirmative action', by classifying themselves as a non white minority, when it suits them: and accusing anyone of antisemitism who complains about their nepotistic monopolies on key areas of society. Almost as if 'affirmative action', which they continually lobby for and which they invented, is a competition quashing strategy.
