| Zionism began its life in the same places as communism, in the coffee shops of Vienna, Berlin and Paris. It was borne out a different struggle though, the ethno-nationalist aspirations of middle class Jewish intelligentsia The origins of zionism go back centuries to Jews who yearned to return to Isr... |

| But don't whitewash it by saying they were never a threat to us when they had atomic missles pointed right at us. That's total BS and you know it! Granted, the Soviet's did plant spies and the threat of nuclear codes landing in the wrong hands mean't security around nuclear facilities However this ... |

| Communism is more terrible even than capitalism. A balance of restrained capitalism with socialism would be most people's ideal I think, if they recognized the implications of such a system. The US government used the rise of communist Russia as an excuse to wage war on any form of civil dissension... |

| You understand the difference between 'this might be a good area for production' and 'this is demonstrated to be a significant producer', right? Posting a link that one can claim proves potential isn't the same as posting a link that proves it's actually happening on the scale you claimed. My point... |

| ^ Hard core fanatical Jews WANT Jews to be two things:1) descended from the Biblical Jews of Judea, and 2) racially separate from Palestinians and Arabs. No, although the Palestinians are "Arabs" in the sense of Arabic-speaking, they are to only a limited degree descended from the Arabs w... |

| [ The original real St. Nicholas was an olive skinned guy from Turkey. They changed him before. They could change him again. :D And...nobody cares. The prototypical archetype for santa is a chubby northern European with a flowing white beard. Heck! even white jesus is burned into my memory banks |

And indeed someone posted a pic of Dutch parents and their kids interacting with a Dutch Father Christmas, that later dressed in full regalia (almost like the Pope), played by a Bla... |

| :roll: In terms of production, Afghanistan would be the major producer of cannabis resin in the world . This is principally due to the high resin yields measured in Afghanistan (145 kg/ha), which are four times higher than in Morocco (36 kg/ha measured in 2005), where cannabis resin is also produced... |

| Wasn't sure the direction of knowing Palestinian DNA was going, But becomes apparent. For indigenous claims to the land, the modern Palestinians want to claim connection to the ancient Philistines (who predated the arrival of the Jews from their ancient ancestral home in Sumer).

| Given what Israel has put them through, it's not shocking in the slightest. You'd feel the same way if you were in their shoes. How about the many people subjected to slavery and colonisation all over the world? They all suffer intergenerational trauma loss of land and are subject to dehumanising d... |
