  • The Palestinians who have never had a state, and most of whome only arrivesd in that land following the fall of the Ottoman empire at the end of WW1.

    Land that was controlled by various Empires through history and is no ones homeland. And if you argue it's Palestine's homeland, then you have to acknowledge they stole it form others, including the original Jews.

    The 1948 Arab Israeli war started by the Arab nations when they immediately invaded Israel following the end of the British mandate.

    And 1967 was also started by Arabic military buildup.

    The Arabs went in with a policy of drive the Jews into the sea, and followed on it for 50 years.

  • Yes, I'm going to absolutely use an expensive e-bike on roads with no bike lanes and heavy traffic, to try and save a couple dollars at Costco. Great idea.

  • Ignoring 75 years of history and conflict.

  • But is entirely unnecessary for such a thing.

  • No Israel didn't, the Arab coalition invaded the day Israel was created. The Arabs started the war.

    And the Palestinian position was it's all Palestine, Israel has to go.

    And Israel took land after it was attacked by Palestine and the Arab league, Russia attacked first. So no, that's an idiotic false equivalence.

  • Ah yes, I will spend a bunch of money n a cargo bike, and then try and cycle 9 km through my cities horrible streets with very few bike lanes, in the cold of winter, just to save a few dollars at Costco.

    Great idea.

    Or better idea, I can walk 3 blocks to the massive grocery store by my condo.

  • And since 1948 the Arab Muslims of the region have had a mandate to expel the Jews from Israel. What happened in the previous thousand years does not matter.

  • Especially while carrying all the shit I buy at Costco.

  • Yes, those people are outliers. Usain Bolt especially is a genetic rarity, being as tall as he is with crazy amounts of fast twitch muscles.

  • Tell that to Loblaws with it's multi-billion dollars a year in profits since lockdowns.

  • My nearest Costco is 8 km from me, and I don't have a car.

  • After losing against Israel for nearly 50 years, even though Palestine and the Arab nations started the conflicts against them. After spending nearly 50 years breaking ceasefires after Israel granted Palestine land back. Only after that did Palestine try and negotiate for peace, and their demands were that Israel give up a ton of land, and they Palestine super pinky swore they wouldn't start attacking from it again like they did for the previous 50 years.

    Bad deal for Israel.

  • Of course it had Jews, long before it had Muslims. Doesn't change that the majority of Palestinian Arabs want to get rid of the Jews.

    And we're talking about the area since the formation of Israel.
