Who Invented Palestinian Nationalism and Why? | Explained

Colonizing Africa is more of a Muslim thing. They colonized North Africa at the same time they overran the Holy Land, and they still are expanding in the Horn of Africa. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s own father took part in the Somali invasion of Ethiopia.

Not in any way motivated by antisemitism.

Jihad is not solely directed against the Jews. Islam has erased dozens of indigenous cultures in its march across North Africa and Southern Asia. The hajib is not native dress for Iranian, Afghan, Moroccan, or Indian women. So much cultural diversity has been wiped out by Arab colonialism … .

The Cold War Roots Of Islamist Terrorism​

The highest-ranking intelligence officer ever to defect from the Eastern Bloc says the Soviet Union orchestrated an anti-American and anti-Israeli propaganda campaign in the Middle East four decades ago -- and the effects of the effort still reverberate.

Ion Mihai Pacepa led Romania's foreign intelligence service and was an aide to dictator Nicolae Ceausescu before defecting to the United States in 1978.

In his new book, "Disinformation," he and his co-author, U.S. scholar Ronald Rychlak, claim that under the leadership of Yury Andropov, the Soviet KGB helped sow the seeds of today's anti-American and anti-Israeli hatred in the Arab and Muslim world by initiating a sophisticated and covert propaganda campaign in the early 1970s.

Not gonna happen.


As of September 2025, the State of Palestine is recognized as a sovereign state by 157 of the 193 member states of the United Nations (UN), or just over 80% of all UN members.

Genocidal Israel's pogrom against Gaza this year has had one enormous unexpected consequence: Both Democrats and MAGA have at long last begun wondering exactly what is America doing sending four billion dollars in "foreign aid" to a corrupt Israeli regime.

The classic Israeli responses of playing the victim, vilifying the opposition and sending money to decision makers in Washington DC are no longer effective, which does not bode well for Israel.

Israel will not likely last very long if/when America turns off the foreign aid spigot.

See post #61

Palestine still fails multiple criteria, most critically, no unified, effective government (Hamas vs. PA), no control over borders, airspace, or security, and no defined, uncontested territory. Recognition is political signal, not proof of sovereignty. The UN itself has never admitted Palestine as a full member state. It remains a “non-member observer entity.” If UN recognition actually created states, Kosovo would be universally sovereign (it isn’t), Taiwan would be erased (it isn’t), Western Sahara would be settled (it isn’t).

To the surprise of virtually no one who has been here more than a week, we see that Rightgoi and Wallstreetgoi continue to remain staunch supporters of the Zionist ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.

The starvation of innocent children in Gaza via government policy is a moral abomination.
