| You would probably get more answers to specific questions than to a request for general advice. Regarding your general question, a Google search on "etiquette with gay friends" brought up the following: - Etiquette Around Gay People, 101: A Primer for the Straight and Well-Intentioned - Bu... |

| Think about it. Radical right wingers want their own form of Sharia Law. "Shariah" is just Arabic for "the way", and from what I understand, Arabs really need white people to stop using it as a scare word. being that their "way" is wholly NOT compatible with MY way, it... |

| Since I (22) moved in Canada, not being able to go out with my friends back there, I started to feel lonely. I hardly know how to meet new people but on top of it my brain gets bored by a huge majority of people. All of my life it has been hard for me to make friends because I was different but lat... |

| https://twitter.com/MountLebanonGov In case you didn’t get what’s in this link; this is a movement for an independent ethno-national stare called Mount Lebanon; and they want to revive the Syriac language as its official language*. The Maronites, which form the backbone majority of this area; are e... |

| @Mona; Hezbollah’s biggest terrorist sin is stealing the voice of all other Lebanese when it comes to foreign policy. I know you heard the “Israel is the only democratic country in the middle east” but that’s a Western hyperbole bullcrap; Lebanon’s system (besides Turkey and Cyprus too) *is* practi... |

| I see strong evidence here that the UN actively pursues policies aimed at the destruction of Israel. How many Jewish deaths might result from that is anyone's guess. Depends what is meant by "the destruction of Israel." Could mean anything from the expulsion of Jews (more ethnic cleansing... |

| Okay fine, it's a white- passing vs. brown anticolonialist struggle. What's your point? Arabs aren't all "brown" either. Many Arabs are just as white-passing as many Jews, and some Jews are "brown." As I said earlier in this thread, Israel is indeed a settler-colonialist state, ... |

| Hypothetically the Arab armies might have worked together and had a modicum of competence and the Jewish State of Israel would have lasted one or two days, maybe a week. Then there might of been a Palestinian state but more likely Syria, Transjorden, and Eqypt would have carved Palestine up. While ... |

| A response that kinda proved Zionism’s point, don’t you think? iIt was a wave of hysteric sectarianism/Islamist driven pogroms mostly. As I see it, they allowed themselves to be caught up in a vicious circle of ethnic cleansing, resulting in the tragic destruction of age-old historic Jewish communi... |

| Frankly, the expulsion was both sides, the Jews in Arab countries were also expelled from their homelands. Wasn't the expulsion of Jews from Arab and Muslim countries, in and around 1948, primarily a response to the expulsion of Palestinian Arabs from Israel? If so, it was a totally counterproducti... |

The genocide of Palestinians has been going on for decades, it's reached a boiling point in the last four months, and after a certain point... well... At a certain point, you have to accept that the response to genocide is gonna look just a... |

| Hamas are just schoolboys compared to Hezbollah when it comes to terrorism. It seems you are totally not aware of the internal terrorism they did to Lebanese since 2005. Indeed, I don't know much about Hezbollah's history. If there are any good online sources you can recommend on this, I would be i... |

It is not about Jews and religion in general in an alternate universe. I remember reading a book by journalist Thomas Freed... |
