EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO ISRAEL BY IRAN IS A SIN PUNISHABLE BY TERMINATION OF IRAN AND ITS OCCUPATION BY ISRAEL. IRAN IS EVIL, CRUEL AND WICKED. ISRAEL MUST FINISH IRAN.

The next Israeli PM will be more brutal than Netanyahu.
Before Netanyahu, there was Ariel Sharon who was thought to be too hard and brutal. Now, people are talking about Netanyahu
No Israeli PM would sit down and allow their enemies to destroy Israel. The only language the enemies understand is superior brute force.

Bibi was at war with who? Saudi Arabia? Qatar? UAE? Pakistan? Egypt?

A ⁠United Nations resolution, proposed by Ghana, to recognise transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity” and calling for reparations, has been adopted despite pushback from Europe and the United States.
At a UN General Assembly (UNGA) vote on Wednesday, 123 countries supported the resolution, which ⁠is not legally binding but carries political weight, while three opposed it, including the US and Israel, and 52 abstained, including the United Kingdom and European Union countries.
Ghana said the resolution ⁠was needed because the consequences of slavery, which saw at least 12.5 million Africans abducted and sold between the 15th and 19th centuries, persist today, including racial disparities.
Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama, a key architect of the resolution, said the resolution’s passing was “a route to healing and reparative justice”.
“The adoption of this resolution serves as a safeguard against forgetting … Let it be recorded that when history beckoned, we did what was right for the memory of the millions who suffered the indignity of slavery.”

Pope Leo XIV, the world's first American-born pope, strongly denounced [ the ] war in Iran on Sundy.

Speaking from the Vatican, the pope said the death and suffering has created a 'scandal to the whole human family,' while renewing
his plea for an immediate ceasefire.
'We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many people, the defenseless victims of these conflicts.
What hurts them hurts the whole of humanity,' Leo said at his weekly Angelus prayer in St. Peter's Square.

'The death and pain caused by these wars are a scandal for the entire human family and a cry that rises to God,' he continued.

Jakarta:
In several serious mental disorders (like psychosis):

A person believes their thoughts are normal.
They may think others are the problem, not them,

This lack of awareness is called “poor insight”
So to them, nothing feels “mad” everything is normal

@op you are clearly displaying these traits so far.

Oracleee:
There’s real history in what you’ve written, but you’re still turning a complex situation into a one-sided narrative.
Yes, the Nakba in 1948 led to mass Palestinian displacement. That’s a documented and painful part of history.
Yes, the Sabra and Shatila massacre happened, and Israel’s own Kahan Commission found leadership especially Ariel Sharon indirectly responsible for failing to prevent it.
Those are serious facts, and they shouldn’t be minimized.

But acknowledging that doesn’t mean everything else becomes simple.
Iran’s role in the region isn’t just “amplifying grievances.” It has actively funded and armed groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, which have carried out attacks on civilians. That’s part of the cycle of violence too.
Israel, on the other hand, has carried out military operations that have caused civilian harm and drawn global criticism. That also can’t be ignored or excused.
The problem is this: once you frame one side as the sole aggressor and the other as purely reactive, you stop describing reality, you start defending a position.

History here isn’t clean. Power imbalances exist, yes but so do multiple actors making decisions that escalate conflict.
Saying “both sides have responsibility” isn’t always a cop-out. Sometimes it’s an attempt to avoid replacing one oversimplification with another.
If we actually care about truth, then we have to be consistent: call out wrongdoing wherever it happens, not just where it fits a narrative.

Oracleee:
We can’t rewrite history just to fit a narrative.
Groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda didn’t just appear because of one country. They came out of a mix of war, power struggles, extremist ideology, and failed states. Reducing it to “Israel created ISIS” or “the U.S. created Al-Qaeda” is an oversimplification at best.
Yes, the United States supported Afghan fighters during the Soviet war but that’s not the same as directly creating Al-Qaeda. The situation evolved far beyond that.
Same with Israel. You can criticize its actions in Syria or Lebanon, but claiming it “birthed ISIS” without solid evidence is a serious accusation, not a fact.
And saying Iran had ZERO role in regional instability ignores its involvement in proxy conflicts across the Middle East.
If we’re going to talk about truth, then let’s actually respect how complex these issues are. No one is completely clean here but also, no one should be blamed with claims that aren’t backed by clear evidence.
Strong opinions are fine. But accuracy matters more.

Forbes’ annual World’s Billionaires list is full of Jeffrey Epstein’s cronies — here’s who’s in the files
Story by Gabrielle Fahmy •

Forbes released its 40th annual World’s Billionaires List, and it’s a who’s who of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Since the Department of Justice began releasing records related to the late pedophile on Dec. 19, the rich and famous linked to Epstein have been resigning and publicly apologizing in droves.

Dozens of names on the new 3,428-person Forbes list also came up in the Epstein files, some more than others.

Bill Gates – ranked the 19th richest person in the world with $108 billion — is chief among them.

In emails released by the feds, Epstein claimed the Microsoft co-founder, a frequent visitor to his Upper East Side townhouse, asked for medicine to treat a sexually transmitted disease he caught from “sex with Russian girls.”

Gates, 70, later admitted to flying on Epstein’s private plane and to two affairs with Russian women – and called his friendship with the disgraced financier a “huge mistake.”

He said he did not do or see anything illicit.

Steve Tisch, chairman of the New York Giants band ranked 1,193rd richest in the world with a $2.2 billion fortune, exchanged several eyebrow-raising emails with the sex predator.

They showed Epstein tried to set up the 77-year-old businessman with women, including a “Tahitian” girl named “Emily in 2013, years after Epstein’s first conviction in Florida.

“Working girl?” Tisch replied in one missive. Others referenced “girls” from Ukraine and Russia.

Tisch later claimed they were talking about adult women, and that he regrets associating with Epstein.

Last week, he announced he’s transferring his ownership stake in the NFL franchise to his children.

Virgin founder Richard Branson — 1,504th on the Forbes list with $2.8 billion — lives on a private island in the British Virgin Islands a short 20-minute helicopter ride from Epstein’s “pedo island,” and gushed in emails about Russian girls Epstein brought him.

The pair hung out twice on the 75-year-old English entrepreneur’s Necker Island in 2013, with Epstein bringing girls each time.

Branson was so pleased, he emailed Epstein after the second visit to say, “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you! As long as you bring your harem!”

For years, whenever the truth about chattel slavery is discussed, some people try to deflect the conversation by repeating the phrase: “Africans sold Africans.”
But here is the question they rarely want to answer.
Who created the global market that demanded millions of enslaved human beings in the first place?
Before European colonial powers arrived, Africa did not operate a transatlantic racial slave industry that treated people as permanent property for life, stripped them of identity, and bred their children into bondage.

That system was engineered, financed, and expanded by European empires and colonial economies that built plantations in the Americas and demanded a constant supply of enslaved labor.
Ships were built in Europe.
Insurance policies were written in Europe.
Banks financed the voyages.
Colonies demanded the labor.
And millions of Africans were transported across the Atlantic to fuel that system.

History becomes clearer when we stop repeating slogans and start asking who created
the system and who profited from it.
Truth does not fear questions.
