Why does everything require a YouTube video these days? Just show me the map.
THANK YOU for saying it out loud.
See where the NT map says “Philistines”? That word became “Palestine”. Maps from that era don’t have “Scotland” either, but I think we can agree that Scotland exists today. I don’t see Haifa or Tel-Aviv on those maps either. There also isn’t a nation-state of Israel on those maps.
Israel has a right to exist, as any modern nation has a right to exist, not because of ancient maps but because it exists today.
The UN maps usually show an area called “Palestine” which shouldn’t surprise anyone since we all know that it is a Marxist organization bent on destroying the Judeo-Christian civilization.
The UN is our greatest enemy because it disguises itself as a lamb.
Somebody remember the old joke.
Israeli
Remember the story about the Palestinian stealing Moses robe
Arab
There were no Palestinians then to steal the robe
Israeli
That’s my point
Maybe someone can tell it better
>>I think this is the map on the video.
>>But this map tells only half the story:
It’s propaganda. You have to expect an enemy to use propaganda. If Israel was half as bad as the UN claims it is, that area would be solid red. If you fired artillery rockets into my town and I had the means to obliterate you, I certainly would. Think Dresden!
The UN is the enemy of all that is good in the world.
>>That video is well worth your time.
IMO, videos are manipulative propaganda that are an emotion-laden appeal to those who won’t read. Write an article with citations and photos/maps so people can see all of your facts and not just the ones that made the cut in the editing room.
>>NO, I don’t !
>> And, neither do you.
It’s right next to the coast, near Ashod and the region of Dan.

Oops. My bad. I meant the OT map.
I think it’s pertinent to elaborate on your comment with an explanation of ‘philistine’:
It’s a Roman slur given to the Province of Iudaea after the Jewish Roman Wars. The Philistines were wiped out by Alexander and those that weren’t became Macedonian slaves. Palestinians are so far removed from Philistines it’s abjectly pathetic of them to have adopted (er, ‘stolen’) the name.
Post-Roman era, Israelites were the Palestinians. Oh, the irony. I so love to make those points in the middle of liberal conversations on Israel.
excellent. for all their supposed expertise, the Israelis have done rather unspectacularly in the public relations and communcations department.
little factual videos can make a lot of difference,... can help a lot
>>Post-Roman era, Israelites were the Palestinians. Oh, the irony. I so love to make those points in the middle of liberal conversations on Israel.
Like I said, Israel has a right to exist because it exists. Just about every nation on earth sits on the bones of an earlier nation. It’s kind of dishonest move to call me a liberal because I don’t react to some 2000 year old map as my proof that a nation should exist today. No nation should be destroyed simply because it sits on land previously occupied by someone else, even though Israel did that with the Canaanites!
I agree with you about Israel. I just don’t agree with these childish videos that try to turn it into an issue of emotion. THAT’s what liberals do to “prove” that Palestine should exist. They have videos too, you know.
>>Do you think the FACTS care about “your opinion” ?
Be honest.
This is what I made an opinion about:
“IMO, videos are manipulative propaganda that are an emotion-laden appeal to those who wont read.”
You edit like an MSNBC producer.
