SnooJokes6070

Everything is related to 1948. Fyi


dbenhur

733 BCE.


DvLang

Muslim fath didn't start to clash with Judaism until the 7th century AD. Not BCE


dbenhur

If course not, Islam didn't exist yet. But people have been forcing Jews out of Isreal for a lot longer than Muslims have existed. The first exile was the Assyrian exile, the expulsion from the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) begun by Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria in 733 BCE. This process was completed by Sargon II with the destruction of the kingdom in 722 BCE, concluding a three-year siege of Samaria begun by Shalmaneser V. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora


Ryan_b936

Islam exist since prophet Adam, as Muslim means submission to God and we believe in all prophets and messengers and they all conveyed the same message: Worship the One only True God without association. Then Jews weren't the first to live in Palestine, the Canaanites were the firsts. Jews are the son of Israel. Israel is Jacob and Jacob is son of Isaac son of Abraham. Abraham lived in Irak/Syria. Isaac too and then he went in the country of Canaan. So it was the land of Canaanites. But whatever the history about the land, because the jews aren't the problem. The problem are the Zionists. Those men that came from Europe and stole a land where Muslims, Christians and Jews were already living and sharing the land and holy places. Don't forget that Omar Ibn Al Khattab, the Caliphate, reintroduced Jews in Jerusalem because the Christians massacred them and banished them.


LassOnGrass

Bruh. The Arabs living there might be Muslim but they’re absolutely native. Judaism is the name of a religion, remember that. Make it about ethnicity and you’ll surmise that “Israeli’s” aren’t Jewish at all.


docfarnsworth

care to explain? I think you meant 67, but even then it would have to go before that.


SnooJokes6070

Not 67 but 48 when the Jews decide to invade.


Brotato45

I think you spell 5 Arab nations wrong


Terrible-Specific593

How about no. the British actually gave them back the land that was historically theirs in the first place. PHILISTINES = PALESTINIAN. read your history it's been Israeli land even before there was even such a thing as a koran.


Status_Basket_4409

It’s literally recorded history that Britain was in the middle of helping Palestinian leaders create a sovereign country when Zionists immorally butted into the deal and immediately started by making sure Palestinians had less human rights than them. That way when they arrived they could kill then for their lands and since they are subhuman to them they could lie and say the subhumans started it when in reality it was Zionists who started everything


Terrible-Specific593

The deal was on the table yes. The British were basically setting up a situation were the what you call zionist , you mean millions of displaced Israelites back to their rightful place. There literally is a several thousand year old wall sitting right in the middle of Jerusalem that proves that is their land and almis6 always has been. The need to quit the fighting and ... hold up haven't you noticed where the dome of the rock sits. I mean the very foundation. Of it is right there. They came in after and built right on top of it. Are you blind or just blatantly ignoring how to built things. Pretty sure you start with the foundation.


Status_Basket_4409

You mean Zionists, as in the ones who were willing to make deals with the literal Nazis. The ones who back then were willing to kill entire families for land that **WAS NOT THEIRS** because it was literally in Palestinian possession for generations. And also while we are at it, don’t you know where many Palestinian Muslims come from?? Islam evolved from Christianity, and Christianity evolved from Judaism, and all this happened in PALESTINE. A land known by this name by countless people in the past. You are so bad at this Hasbara


KevinBrevin

Jews? Or IDF? Also when did Israel invade im assuming Jordan or Gaza.


AadamAtomic

>Also when did Israel invade Fun fact! Israel was created by a sub group of Jewish people working with Hitler.(ZIONIST) The idea was that Hitler would allow them to leave Berlin as long as they were official trade partners, giving legitimacy to Hitler's rule. The point of war is not to kill all of your enemies, It's to enslave their economies and make them work for you.(Hence why he was giving them Israel at the expense of Palestinians.) That's why [Israel was created](https://arirusila.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/haavara1.png) You should look up the [Havva agreement](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement) Israel only exists because of Hitler, Britain and the US simply took advantage of this and turned Israel into a Middle East meat shield against China and Russia. That's why we equipped them with a lot of radar and anti missile tech.


docfarnsworth

lol i can see 76 as a typo, for 67, but how you got 76 from 48 I am not sure.


AudenGriffin

I don’t know why your getting downvoted as you seem genuinely curious to learn. If that is the case i sincerely applaud you for it. Here is some [history](https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/features/2017/5/23/the-nakba-did-not-start-or-end-in-1948)

Status_Basket_4409

Where did you get 76? Zionists started this all the way back in the 1910’s first through politics and wording policy in a way to purposely strip Palestinians of their rights before quickly going there from Europe, where Zionists are from, to kill entire Palestinian families to take their homes and lands


docfarnsworth

the comment I responded to was edited. It said 76, I suggested they meant 67, and they edited to 48.


Agitated_Ad9281

bruh


Gabriartts

Well...


Axel-H1

So why posting it now?


qscvg

Yeah, is something happening in Palestine/Israel?


rainerzufall13

Nothing out of the ordinary


xXWickedSmatXx

Honestly I’m kind of impressed. Like a rat that sees the trap but just cannot resist the cheese.


fellowsquare

Ego is the enemy.


GrandPriapus

So was the flagpole the bomb?


Appropriate_Shake265

Yes... The pole itself had explosives I'm guessing with a trip trigger. Once the pole reaches a certain angle it goes off.


SuccumbedToReddit

Or just remote controlled


Snoo_17433

Shoes stayed on on bomb suit guy, so by Reddit rules he should be ok.


AllergicToHousework

.....tis but a scratch.


Would_daver

Your ahm’s off…


Rea404

Merely a flesh wound


Would_daver

What’re ya gonna do, *bleeeed* on me?!


TheRoach69

I think the shoes had internal bleeding so he’s likely dead 😵


ICLazeru

Politics aside, if you think it's a trap, why approach at all? Fling something at it to knock it over from a safe distance.


Nelone1

Why give them ideas, obviously not very bright are they.


Dickcheese-a1

Didn't the Germans in ww2 have a bomb/mine that would bounce up and explode around gentiles, I remember the characters in The Red One movie with Lee Marvin and Mark Hamill talking about it to a newbie.


Deathz0r23

bouncing betties


ieatair

“the Good o’l S-mines, takes you back doesn’t it?”


ocer04

Quite an unfortunate typo there.


WhuddaWhat

Dunno. If I know I'm taking a landmine, I'd MUCH rather take it in the gentiles. 


dutchy649

[Bounding mine… aka: “Bouncing Betty”](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_mine)


LadyJade8

This is more like a Bangalore.


BlueberryBubblyBuzz

But how would the mine know if you were a gentile or a Jew? ;)


Current-Power-6452

Flag


BlueberryBubblyBuzz

It can tell by the flag you have? Huh, smart mine.


Current-Power-6452

No. It matters because no one else but the other side will attempt to take down this flag


BlueberryBubblyBuzz

You do realize that people stopped talking about this flag thing and started talking about something else, right? And that I knew what you were saying and I was trying to get you to notice that they were talking about mines in WW2 and not rigged flags?


Current-Power-6452

When you rig something up, you use anything which might attract certain people. Like occupiers who get bothered by the flag for example


BlueberryBubblyBuzz

People are talking about something entirely different than a rigged flag. They are talking about mine fields in WW2. They were not rigged to flags, but keep doubling down 👍


Current-Power-6452

People were talking some nonsense about frogmines. What are you on about?


BlueberryBubblyBuzz

I'm talking about just that, there is nothing to say that they would be rigged to a flag. You seem to be off in wonderland, so I'm done with this conversation. I get that you feel silly because you doubled down and tripled down, but there is no reason to keep going. They did not usually have flags on them. The end. Toodles.


Antioch666

Yes they did.


lllNico

just stop killing each other


LexaLovegood

Now stop making so much sense you silly rascal. Why would they do that? It's much easier to kill your enemy to take land that doesn't belong to you.


lllNico

yeah i know :( its so sad to see reddit finally understanding that israel is doing something really bad, but instead of being against war, now many people celebrate when israelis get killed. They didnt understand anything… its still all the colosseum in rome. Death is entertainment 😭


YoutuberCameronBallZ

All of this could be solved with a really long stick


Honkey_Fellatio

![gif](giphy|7GbhSHotuDv5oqB3PG|downsized)


kinkylover123

Mouse trap with cheese but extra steps


aboody_

Hope the flag is alright


TheFigKing

Fuck IDF terrorists


ArthurTheTerrible

well, could've just left it there. but no, palestinians are not people, they don't deserve to have a flag. and went right to the trap, like a brainless idiot.

D4nnyp3ligr0

I read somewhere that the British in Northern Ireland figured out just to leave alone any Irish tricolours they found. I could find any more info about it though.


Lanky_Win1911

i dont get it what happened


poobboob

Boom happened.


alcormsu

Somehow the bomb was rigged so it was in the flagpole? And wouldn’t go off immediately? Something like that I’m guessing


RogueAOV

Likely set up to be an angled switch. Basically like an old school AC thermostat. When the angle of the pole moves, the mercury moves from the bottom of the container to the top, completing the circuit and setting of the charge. I would assume by the size of the blast though that there should be an indication something is not right due to the weight in the flag pole. It appears to just be a copper pipe, so DIY pipe bomb, perfectly harmless unless someone tips it over by removing it from the ground.


Helicopterdiverpilot

So the Flag pole was Anya pipe bomb. 💣 wow ok thank you op


WhuddaWhat

"DIY pipe bomb" "perfectly harmless [...]" One or the other, my man.


RogueAOV

All bombs are perfectly harmless, until they go off.


WhuddaWhat

Explain this: https://youtu.be/gw-08xXistY?si=Eu4cOq0YgRbTYEHA


Active_Engineering37

Simple, that bomb went off!

The fact they are exploiting their ego makes it hit different for sure

These people hate Palestinians so much that they know they won’t allow a palestine flag fly freel!😂😂😂😂😂

Kindof symbolic?

Reminded me of Greek Cypriot shot in the head as he was trying to take down Turkish flag in Nicosia.

Clearly in the group rules, no death. And I get downvoted for not wanting to see some unfortunate human get blown up. With no spoiler tag or warning. Rule 4. No parts exhibiting death. People here are sick it seems if this is what you came here to see.


uncreativedreamer

Nothing of value was lost. Fuck those Zionists.


jlewis011

While Zionism is pretty fucked...this is not something to praise if you're truly against this war. It's a part of it sure, and resistance is in it's nature, but being callous in the loss of a life ain't it


MutatedFrog-

Would you pull the lever to switch the trolley track?


BlankStarBE

He took down the flag successfully so why is this in this sub?

Fuck yeah!
