If you call yourself anything but a human being, youre making it all up
All people's nationalities are made up.
Just like all nation state borders.
Just like all religions.
Hell, someone pulled your vaunted, family crest owning last name directly out of their asshole at some point in your ancestry. It's all just ego stroking bullshit.
The problem, as always, is that people take these made up bullshit designations seriously, to the point of mass murder.
We are all actually the same species, capable of similar highs and lows of emotion, of pain, of hunger.
Too bad most everyone refuses to start and end with that, because if we're all equally deserving of empathy and resources, how can I get mooooooaaaaar than those other people I'm clearly better than? Because my Parents, President, and Priests said I deserve more than those bad people that live in the wrong place and suck the wrong imaginary friend's imaginary dick.
I’ve already commented but sorry I got to say
“The first ever mention of an ancient land called Israel was by an Egyptian Pharaoh, Merneptah, 3429 years ago,” reads a meme that has made the rounds on Facebook. “The first ever mention of an ancient land called Palestine was by an Egyptian opportunist, Yasser Arafat, 57 years ago.”
Literally the Do you have a flag argument.
Didn't the Romans call it Palestine after crushing a Jewish uprising? So no not 57 years ago.
Anyways the Arab voters made their bed by voting for Trump and not genocide joe or whatever they called Harris.
Good luck with that now.
It's as if "first" has become a legitimate argument for existence
The entire United States has some problems if "was there thousands of years ago" indicates who should be allowed to control and oppress people now.
Doubly insane when the first mention of what's thought to be the Palestinians was by Ramesses III, 3199 years ago.
Am Canadian.
Canada didn’t exist a few hundred years ago.
Are we made up people too?
Have you seen Canadian money? Its like Monopoly bills.
And maple syrup doesn't exist. Who even believes you can get sugar from a tree?
/s
Yes?
You mean like Mormons?
Hey look, Mormon Jesus really did appear to Joseph Smith and told him to start a church and sell spots in heaven for any family that wed their daughter to him.
[My father] asked me if I would be sealed to Joseph ... [Smith] said to me, 'If you will take this step, it will ensure your eternal salvation & exaltation and that of your father's household & all of your kindred.['] This promise was so great that I willingly gave myself to purchase so glorious a reward.
- Helen mar Kimball, who was 14 at the time they married.
Sounds all very legit, daughter for heaven. Mormon Jesus is just cool like that.
thanks for not voting. that was really smart
Genuine question: To all the Democrats who chose not to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Palestinian issue, what's your thought process?
That should make things better for the Palestinians.
