I wonder why people hate Zionists? This isn't fucked up in the least bit.

'Palestine is not for sale': Israeli event near Toronto promoting West Bank property draws critics https://share.google/dQpXzW4PZ7l18A7JI


Separate from above link.

"The Great Israeli Real Estate Event" was a series of real estate exhibitions that promoted property sales in Israel, with recent events in Canada and the U.S. sparking controversy and protests due to the inclusion of properties in the West Bank, which the UN and Canada consider illegal settlements. Protesters stated their opposition to the sale of what they call "stolen Palestinian land," while event organizers aimed to connect the global Jewish community with real estate opportunities in Israel.

Event purpose: The annual event aims to help potential buyers, particularly from North America, answer questions about purchasing property in Israel and to showcase available properties.

Controversy: The events drew protests because they promoted properties in the West Bank, which is considered occupied territory by the UN and Canada.

Protests: Pro-Palestine activists protested, citing concerns about international law and the displacement of Palestinians, with slogans like "Palestine is not for sale".

Counter-protests: Some counter-protesters gathered to show support for Israel and the Jewish community.

Impact: The protests brought media attention to the events, and one planned event in New York was canceled.

Legal context: Some legal experts argue that selling property in Israeli settlements is illegal under international law and may violate domestic laws, such as the U.S. Fair Housing Act.

Event organizers: The event is produced by Gideon Katz, who markets Israeli real estate to the global Jewish community.


You'd think Palestinians would get pissed off and do something if they could.

Why is it that Arab/Muslim nationalism is good, but Israeli/Jewish nationalism is bad?
Are any Arab nations illegally taking territory, apartheid and committing genocide? Why is that confusing?

Israel isn't a Jew. Its a nation. Arabia isn't a Muslim. Its a nation. China isn't a Chinaman its a nation...

1763227570437.jpegUgh… do you need to put in some kind of a timeframe for a qualifier here? What happened to the Jews in what Jordan renamed as the West Bank after 1948 to about mid-1967? Were they sorta cleansed from that land and is there a term for that happening?

Iran isn’t a Muslim, it’s a nation that’s 99.4% Muslim, etc…Israel isn’t a Jew, it’s a nation that isn’t 99.4% Muslim in that neighbourhood. I’m one of the non-religious guys here, so is that hypocritical of me to point that out? It’s estimated that 99% of the Gaza Strip’s population is Muslim, but it’s not a nation or something, and what’s now called the West Bank is only 85% Muslim if the Jewy “settlers, or re-settlers” are factored in, but Israel is only about 20% Muslim and it’s a nation or something, etc…

If all the Jewish residents (Israeli settlers or re-settlers or whatever) were removed from the West Bank again, approximately 97% to 99% of the remaining population would be Muslim, but that’s probably just a coincidence.

Ugh.

Secular (\(hilonim\)): Around 45% of Israeli Jews self-identify as secular or not religious.

How many secular Catholics live in Rome? Zero. There is no such thing as a secular Catholic.

PS, its 2025

An American visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland, was sitting in a bar having a beer when he was approached by a rather belligerent local who demanded "Are ye a Protestant or a Catholic?"

The American replied "Actually, I'm a Jew."

Undeterred, the Ulsterman pressed on "Well, are ye a Protestant Jew or a Catholic Jew?"

Anyway, to this day, I can’t say I ever actually met anyone who’s Jewish or identified as Jewish.
Israel was a bad idea.
That’s from October 9th, 2023, as is this below:

You're a "secular Catholic" if you haven't been to Mass since your balls dropped, or even have never been to Mass, but the Prod terrorists in Northern Ireland kill you anyway because you live in the wrong neighbourhood.

(If I had to be labelled in a religious sense, the closest I could get would probably be a secular Anglican, as that’s the church we went to until I was about six years old, & that church isn’t even a church anymore either)

I actually thought we’d talked this thread through on page 1, and that Israel wouldn’t have shown the restraint that it has, & would have ended this thing before 2024, but here we are.

sec·u·lar
/ˈsekyələr/
adjective
1.
denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis.

A Catholic is a member of the Roman Catholic Church, the largest branch of Christianity. Catholics are Christians who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and follow the teachings of the Catholic Church, including its doctrines, sacraments, and the authority of the Pope as the successor of Saint Peter. The word "catholic" itself means "universal" or "all-embracing" and the adjective form can also describe someone who is open and universal in their interests and sympathies.


There is no Jew gene or Catholic gene or Muslim gene.

Grow up.

You are onto tangents today. Are there belief systems that are Catholic or Jew or Muslim? If there wasn’t, there might be less wars, or less justification for them, but here we are.

Pretty sure there isn’t a Socialist Gene, but socialism is a thing that exists predominantly in some nations or populations. Weird that eh?

I don't know of any Catholics or Muslims or Socialists who claim to be genetically better than you.
