Yep. "Palestine" is just a butchered up version of "Philistine."

The word "Palestine" is not even Arabic.  It comes from the Romans who gave the region occupied by Bedouins and nomads that name. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. The culture is borrowed.  

They were offered a sovereign state in that region at least 3 times but declined each time so fuck em.

Going back to that meme...."Christianity is who the sticker is directed against but poses no threat to the others". Truth.

no more reactions.... but this post needed to be copied. and, as a relevant aside, I wish lefties would learn that the "palestinians" own hatred of the Jews, historically, and culturally, caused their demise in not having a country to call their own, not getting along with Jews in Jerusalem in the beginning, said hatred of the Jews getting a country of their own led to wars being declared against them to drive them out "into the sea".... etc etc etc.

    "poor palestinians" = haters who made their own poverty and displacement out of intolerance and hatred of the existence of Jewish people.

I gave this an upvote not because I agree but because you finally posted a meme that evokes rational debate. Good job.

True that people have suffered in the name of religion but it can be argued that more have suffered under anti religious secular regimes.

The godless 20th century proved to be the most murderous period in history. Every genocide...except  of Hindus in Bangladesh and the Turkish mass murder of Armenians was committed by a secular anti-Jewish and anti-Christian regime.

Good point as usual. Surprised you haven't yet received a fierce reaction from Cleve or MLDWoody.

oh I got one, I suppose it's the best the wood man can muster. ?  apparently he thinks that the distinction between male and female in mammals and other species is merely religious Dogma.

One thing though...they are not insane. What they suffer from is dysphoria.

Here's something for you background check and psychological evaluation proponents, transgenders who believe they are women even though they've got a dick or vice versa are obviously insane so I wouldn't I think it would be a good idea to sell any of them a weapon.

You said transitioning.  

Correct.  In order for the punchline to have effect .

We all know that it is biologically impossible to transition from one gender to another.

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. – A woman claiming to be a parent of a STEM School student warned school district administrators in December about what she described as rampant bullying, drug use and her fears of a “a repeat of Columbine” at the semi-autonomous charter school.

The anonymous complaints alarmed authorities enough that they requested an investigation by police and school officials.

It’s not yet clear whether there’s any connection between the woman’s complaints and the Tuesday attack at the school that killed one student and injured eight others. Two students accused in the attack remain jailed and are expected to be formally charged Friday.

As a charter school, the STEM School is largely exempt from the rules and policies governing neighboring public schools, although it is still accountable to the district via a legal agreement.

STEM School officials in January adamantly rejected the woman’s concerns and sued her for defamation, according to court records and a letter sent by district officials to the school and obtained by USA TODAY. Because the woman’s call was made anonymously, STEM School officials asked a judge to subpoena phone records to find her.

You can't 'transition to a male' by taking hormones and having a fake penis put on.  You're still a female/

Yes I understand that DH. Not sure if you're trying to convince me or just making a comment!

@gorka said:

It's only boys that have shot up schools.  This shooter was a biological female transitioning to a male.

What an extreme fucked up way of trying to prove you're really a male.

Does "bullied transgender" rank above "school shooting victim" in the victim heirarchy?

Well they are a protected species. I think that's another facet of the black rage defense.
