Guys, think from the perspective of an Egyptian diplomat, not a defender of ethnic cleansing for one second, and tell me, from that perspective, who was โ€œmassacredโ€ by the Mongols and the Crusaders?
The Zionist interpretation of Azzamโ€™s quote is hugely contested, mostly because, as Israeli historian Benny Morris states, it is an outlier - no other quotes like this exist from Arab leadership. In fact, Morris himself doubts that it is even authentic Image
Image
This is because of several reasons. Firstly, bc Zionists sources have purposely re-dated it to 15 May 1948 ie on the eve of invasion - likely to fabricate a gotcha scenario. Even Morris gets the date wrong as he contests the quoteโ€™s reliability Image

Zionism is the belief that Jews have a right to a Jewish state *to the exclusion of anyone else*, namely, Palestinians, in Palestine. There is no Multicultural or Plurinational Zionism. Its a belief rooted in ethnic cleansing which is exactly what was done to Palestinians in 1948
Now yes as with all identitarian ideologies, there are many levels of buy-in among self-described Zionists. For the vast majority of Zionists, Zionism does indeed only mean โ€œI think there should be a Jewish stateโ€ with absolutely no concern about practicality or history
This is common. The vast majority of Catholics do not believe they canโ€™t divorce, even when the Church is very clear that they canโ€™t. Many donโ€™t go to mass every Sunday, etc. But it would be absurd to say this defines Catholicism and not the Catechism of the Church

โ€œUngrateful little assholeโ€? Boy I really need to add โ€œrattled Matt Walshโ€ to my bio. And no Matt I donโ€™t mean the Aztec bc 1492+10=1502 and Cortez arrived in Mexico in 1519. Your cliche answers are not good enough here. But thereโ€™s a lot more you get wrong so let me start a ๐Ÿงต
First, you have moved the goalposts from โ€œAtlantic Explorationโ€ to โ€œtravelling around the Earthโ€. Donโ€™t get me wrong, you are wrong about the former too, as the Malians launched an Atlantic expedition in the 1300s, as told by Mansa Musa, but youโ€™re very wrong about the latter
Thereโ€™s evidence of Polynesian and Chinese voyages in the Pacific and Indian oceans respectively and hell even tales of Inca exploration of Polynesia. And of course the creation of the Maritime was filled with nameless explorers through the centuries.

โ€œGenes determine skin colourโ€
Yes they also determine height, moles, and hair colour. But we dont build social hierarchies around that. That doesnโ€™t mean races are genetic. It means you ring fenced some genes and attributed moral/social value to them. We call this โ€œracismโ€
Like imagine saying stuff like โ€œheight is determined by genes, this is why tall people face a higher risk of thyroid problems! [apparently true] You canโ€™t deny there is a physical difference between Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenneger!!โ€
Or like โ€œthere are studies that have found that short people tend to commit more crimes than tall people! [apparently this is true too!] Obviously this is a result of the different genes in tall and short people!โ€

Hero of Bondi Beach 14/12/25 Ahmed El Ahmed, Muslim

Hero of Huntingdon 15/11/25 Samir Zitouni, Muslim

Hero of Paris 26/05/18 Mamoudou Gassama, Muslim

Hero of Hypercacher 9/1/15 Lassana Bathily, Muslim

How many lives must Muslims save before we stop calling them terrorists?
Mamoudou Gassama saved a child who was hanging from a window

Samir Zitouni saved people in a non-terror related stabbing attack

If you assumed these were all heroes because of Muslims committing terror attacksโ€ฆ well maybe you are racist
The list continues

The nominal debate about sexual organs is a rather dumb one. You either think gender is assigned or innate and frankly that is of little consequence. The consequential discussion is why you think that: itโ€™s either fragile masculinity or concern over safety in private spaces /1
IMO the latter is the only valid reason. I donโ€™t care if a dude is scared that he will โ€œaccidentallyโ€ be attracted to a trans woman and hit on her. Deal with your own insecurities without trampling on other peopleโ€™s rights. But safety in private spaces or fairness in sports? Sure
Hereโ€™s the thing though: safety and fairness are not โ€œtrans issuesโ€. A fully cis male bathroom can be unsafe for a little boy (hi Catholic Church). Privacy concerns can be addressed with lockable personal booths. Transness is not the reason why private spaces can be unsafe
