[Video] Democrat leader Chuck Shumer: "Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But they [Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace."
I just wrote a book that says that Chuck Schumer's house is on my ancestral homeland, because my deity says so. That makes it Chuck's fault when I drop bombs on it.
I recently did some wiki digging into the formation of Israel and it legitimately surprised me how illegitimate the country is. They were given land (not a state) and welcomed by Palestinians, then they flipped their shit over time and took everything. They were not oppressed but radicalized over imaginary oppression and used it as a tool to oppress Palestine.
The whole world is complicit or gaslit into buying this garbage. Insane that the two state solution is seen as compromise to Palestinians when it should be considered the only compromise given to Israel.
In April 1948, Lehi and the Irgun were jointly responsible for the massacre in Deir Yassin of at least 107 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children. Lehi assassinated Lord Moyne, British Minister Resident in the Middle East, and made many other attacks on the British in Palestine. On 29 May 1948, the government of Israel, having inducted its activist members into the Israel Defense Forces, formally disbanded Lehi, though some of its members carried out one more terrorist act, the assassination of Folke Bernadotte some months later, an act condemned by Bernadotte's replacement as mediator, Ralph Bunche. After the assassination, the new Israeli government declared Lehi a terrorist organization, arresting some 200 members and convicting some of the leaders. Just before the first Israeli elections in January 1949, a general amnesty to Lehi members was granted by the government. In 1980, Israel instituted a military decoration, an "award for activity in the struggle for the establishment of Israel", the Lehi ribbon. Former Lehi leader Yitzhak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel in 1983.
When I started to learn about it i thought it was the first account I had heard of documenting precisely why a country should never allow unchecked immigration... -Not that the palestinians were given much of a choice by their british colonizers.
Israel wants to be a Jewish state, so secular humanism wouldn't be a compatible policy they'd agree to.
I don't think there is a two state solution because of how intertwined the West Bank is.
I don't think there is a one state solution because of how much all the sides hate eachother.
The whole area is a festering wound on the face of our common humanity. We need to administer antibiotic and depose the leaders who spread hate in the area from within and from the outside like Schumer here. "They don't believe in the Torah", why should any book have final say?
Edit: I have no idea why you're getting downvoted. I wish what you were saying was possible. In any sane country it would be reasonable.
Same logic evangelical Christians use to oppress LGBTQ folks here at home, Chuck. But you knew that, which is why you don't care about that either, beyond your performative outrage to get votes.
These crusty old dirt worshipers need to go. Every last one of them.
I wish I could say yes, and maybe between shit like this and Elon threatening Social Security there will be enough angry people to make a third party viable, but I'm not holding my breath on that. This country has been in love with binary choice since the beginning. Everything is black or white, good or evil, win or lose, right or wrong, us or them... You introduce any kind of nuance and people lose their fucking minds.
Start building one. Use the annuals and the biannual elections as proofs of concept. Right now I'm more open to voting 3rd party than ever before but I'm not wasting my vote
And if I say your book is blasphemy? Jesus, no pun intended, these religious weirdos just can't take the hint that maybe their religious texts are total BS. They truly don't believe in religious freedom.
The worst part, there’s no speaking sense to them. Their views are unimpugnable, as god himself wrought them. No earthly authority can alter their course
If this chucklefuck showed up to your door and said that your home is now part of the Jewish state because the Torah said so, I think we know how most people would respond.
Jews are very divided on Israel in general and heartbreakingly on whether or not it's cool to genocide. Chuck is in the genocide is cool as long as it's not against Jewish people camp, many of us stand firm on our no genocide no matter what. He's also a senator so represents all living in NY state, so short answer is no.
The term is "fucking traitor that needs to be censured and primaries". Get this MAGAt wannabe out of office, but first get him out of any democratic positions/appointments.
But my book says it's our land. So we should put our book and their book in a ring to fight it out. The winner takes the land. This is the only logical solution to this problem.
