When exactly did Israelites become Jews?
When did some Arabs become Palestinians? When did man become Homo Sapien Sapien?

I don’t pretend to know more than I do and I’m figuring this out as I go along. Beyond background in movies and books, my knowledge of that neighbourhood started October 7th last year. I do know a lot more than I did then….But that’s not saying much.

Long before Zionists.

The myth/propaganda is already sorted. You chose a side. Why?

I like my view from space. It safe up here.

What was long before Zionists?
The myth/propaganda is already sorted.
What myth/propaganda is already sorted out? You’re talking in riddles again without specifics…& I’m just not up to guessing the questions that you’re answering at this point.
You chose a side. Why?
We all choose sides. It’s human nature.
I like my view from space. It safe up here.
Have you gotten into the edibles? It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…

Palestine was and is the established entity that was was invaded by a terrorist ideology based on "self identification". Zionism is far more secular than than Judaic. Are there any other secular groups who claim a religious lineage and race? Is Irish Catholic a race to an atheist? I'm a Bazantyne Rusyn (Ruthenian). Is that a race? We lived side by side with the Hasidics, shopped the same shops, grew the same crops, sold each other bread, grains, preserves, meats and fought side by side against the Czar. Am I'm not chosen?

Rusyn is an indigenous tribe. We have minority status in most our traditional territory except in Ukraine. Go figure.

Well, we’re in the day age of the, “If you don’t know the answer, then Google it!” Phase of things…so I just Googled some of these questions.
When exactly did Israelites become Jews?
I honestly don’t know, so…Googled it, & first result that popped up:

Huh…ok…so then:
When did some Arabs become Palestinians?
I honestly didn’t know the answer, so Googled it, & first result that popped up:

When did man become Homo Sapien Sapien?

This (above) I didn’t have to Google, but I threw out a couple of other questions because…curiosity:
1724803700906.jpeg
So aspirations of statehood for both “Palestinians” & “Israelis” with nationalism and cool flags and such seem to coincide with the fall of the Ottoman Empire…&…
1724803726590.jpeg
Huh…interesting & ok. Which leads to:
Palestine was and is the established entity…
Area, I can agree with. What “entity” was Palestine & who established this?
…that was was invaded by a terrorist ideology based on "self identification".
Oh-Kay. You touched on this on the weekend with those sort of answers to questions that aren’t out there…so I had to guess that what questions you were answering…
Zionism is far more secular than than Judaic.
Ok
Are there any other secular groups who claim a religious lineage and race?
I’ve no idea. Are there? Maybe 20-30 generations (or more, but as a start) of inbreeding shows up in the DNA of certain groups? That might create some secular behaviour?😁
Is Irish Catholic a race to an atheist?
I’m assuming more of a cautious curiosity.
I'm a Bazantyne Rusyn (Ruthenian). Is that a race?
No idea. How much inbreeding was there? Enough long enough for divergence? Sort a Darwinian Galapagos Island Finch thing?
We lived side by side with the Hasidics, shopped the same shops, grew the same crops, sold each other bread, grains, preserves, meats and fought side by side against the Czar.
Did your ancestors “spread their seed” with the Hasidic’s or keep that closer to home? Don’t need the nitty-gritty details, but just wondering with respect to the secular behaviour speculated upon above.
Am I'm not chosen?
You asking the wrong guy. I don’t even pretend to be religious. Isn’t that one of those judgement day questions at the Pearly gates, sort of thing?
Rusyn is an indigenous tribe. We have minority status in most our traditional territory except in Ukraine. Go figure.
Politics? Protectionism? I’m not sure I know enough about the topic to know the question to ask to get that answer…

Israeli special forces have recovered an Israeli hostage from a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip in "a complex rescue operation", the military said on Tuesday, more than 10 months after he was abducted by Hamas-led gunmen on Oct. 7.

It said 52 year-old Qaid Farhan Alkadi, a member of the Bedouin community in southern Israel, had been transferred to hospital and his condition was stable.

Alkadi was taken hostage in Kibbutz Magen, one of a string of communities around the Gaza Strip that were attacked by Hamas-led fighters on Oct. 7.

More than 250 Israelis and foreigners were taken hostage in the attack, in which some 1,200 people were killed. Alkadi's rescue leaves 108 Israeli and foreign hostages still in Gaza but around a third of these are known to have died, with the fate of the others unknown.
More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces during the campaign, which has destroyed much of the Gaza Strip and displaced most of the 2.3 million population, leaving hundreds of thousands in makeshift shelters.

Does Hamas still think it’s worth the cost?

Hahn doubles down on hurtful rants
Author of the article:postmedia News
Published Aug 27, 2024 • Last updated 13 hours ago • 2 minute read

Embattled Canadian Union of Public Employees National VP Fred Hahn has not just refused the request of his national executive to step down.


He’s doubled down on his outspoken support of Hamas. And he’s collected a gaggle of leftists in support of his intransigence.

Ontario MPP Sarah Jama was tossed out of the NDP caucus for controversial pro-Palestinian statements she made after the October 7 mass killing and hostage-taking of Israelis by Hamas that triggered the conflict.

Also supporting Hahn is Sid Ryan, a long-time union boss and oft-failed NDP candidate.

Meanwhile, many in the broader membership of CUPE have expressed their dismay at Hahn’s vocal support for Hamas. Wesley Lesosky, President of the Air Canada component of CUPE, supported the national executive’s request that he step down. He pointed out Hahn’s statements put airline workers in harm’s way.


“Being part of our union is about being part of a team, and Fred stopped being a team player a long time ago,” Lesosky said. “His reckless comments last October put our members who have to travel to the Middle East as part of their flight duties in the crosshairs and he has never apologized for his role in jeopardizing their safety.”

Hahn’s most outrageous post, since deleted, was an AI generated video, purporting to show an Israeli Olympic diver, who turns into a bomb as he enters the water, killing civilians.

This becomes more heinous when one considers the history of terror at the Olympics. In the 1972 Munich Games, Black September, a militant Palestinian group, broke into the Olympic village and murdered 11 Israeli athletes.


It beggars belief that Hahn and his coterie of supporters cannot see how his offensive post was hurtful and distasteful, not just to Jews, but to all Canadians who support decency in public discourse and who oppose the tyranny and fear that terrorism sows.

Hahn’s union represents thousands of hard-working Canadians, from paramedics to flight attendants, many of whom want no part of his disgraceful rants. At a time of heightened tensions, true leaders try to calm the divisiveness, not ignite an inferno.

The more Hahn digs in his heels, the more he shames the people who pay his salary with their dues. They deserve better.

Jews should know their place, & be able to tread water indefinitely. River/Sea-etc…or just move to that other place…wherever that is…’cuz reasons. Maybe they can set up Israel 2.0 on Baffin Island or something. Boo Zionists and Yay Nationalists of other flavours for wanting the same thing…in the same place or elsewhere.

Not Jews. Zionists. Do your home work on Zionism. It's not a religious movement as portrayed.
