Securing a nation state for Jewish people at the expense of the Palestinians who have been living in the area for millennia.

This Jewish nation state was secured by colonial settler Jews not native to the region migrating to the region and taking land for themselves around a century ago after the collapse of the Ottoman empire. They are still to this day expanding their state by stealing the Palestinian land.

The hatred of Israel by its neighbors is not for no reason and it is not because they are Jews. The Irish were also not fans of the British colonising them, neither were the native people of the Americas when their land was stolen by European settlers. Israel is just another case of European settlers stealing land and causing trouble where they don't belong.

Are we believing in polls again after they have been consistently wrong for the last decade? Almost as stupid as believing polls a year and a half out from a general election means something, like reading tea leaves at this stage. The incumbent is never popular at this point, extreme views at this point tend to temper at the polling booth, especially since the Spanish economy is doing well.

The Spanish public are still massively anti Israel due to all of their genocide and everything.

If these are "Gods chosen people" their god must be a sick cunt.

You have been called out several times for your lies about this picture, do you have anything to say to explain your position? You are accusing the Iranian regime for doctoring photos and then blatantly misrepresenting photos from an article without the context from the article? Hasbara is really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days....

This soldier died in Saudi Arabia. Unlike the gulf war, Iran can strike back with greater accuracy than they were given credit for. This is nothing like the gulf war in terms of the capabilities of the opponent. The USA will also not be able to win this war with air strikes alone, boots on the ground will be needed.

The war criminals will keep committing war crimes as long as they are allowed to without punishment. Russia was kicked out of international sporting events and the Eurovision for less crimes against humanity than Russia.

Russia are obviously also scumbags but we should at least be evenhanded in our condemnation of Israel lest we look like the hypocrites our governments clearly are.

No thanks, I'll stick to my 1000 monkeys writing on 1000 typewriters. "It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times." You stupid monkey!

Used to be cool.....you might want to look a little bit further into IBMs past, specifically what they were doing during WW2...

We prepared for that, we lined up a type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat

I found this review paper interesting and I don't doubt that nicotine can have therapeutic effects but the funding source worried me.

It was the CIA who put the "Shah" into power in the 1953 coup. Before this Iran had a democratically elected prime minister who nationalised the country's oil, his name was Mohammad Mosaddegh. The USA have never been big fans of middle Eastern countries controlling their own oil.

The US cannot just cut off trade with one EU country. If he tries to do this then EU policy is to act as one, the mechanisms for this are already in place. This is just more pointless bluster from the orange pedi.
