Don't just attack the imminently attackable source. Give it a read.

They will be, as soon as they run out of usefulness.

Why? Because of the Arab canon.
“Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel.” -- Leon Uris
The only people they hate more than each other, is us... But they're always fighting each other and that will always be their way.

The whole colonization trope is funny. The biggest export from “Palestine” is rocks. It’s not exactly a resource you would occupy a country over.

True dat.
Islam went from ZERO in 623 AD to 57 states (UK, France, Germany, Minnesota are having a race for #58) in 2023.
But Europeans are “colonizers”?

Today anyone who speaks Arabic is called an Arab, but 7th-century Arabia didn't have that many people. The Arabians who settled in Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and North Africa must have been a small minority of the population. Over time Arabic came to become the dominant language because it was the language of the rulers, just as Latin came to dominate the western provinces of the Roman Empire.
Today's Palestinian Arabs probably are mostly descended from the population of Palestine in the 7th century, with a mixture of Arabians, Franks (Crusaders), and other later settlers. I think DNA studies show Palestinian Arab DNA being fairly close to Jewish DNA. It's religion which is the big difference. Along with culture.

Why Aren’t the Arabs the ‘Colonizers’?Because they aren't white europeans.
To: Uncle Miltie
All of human history is a story of never-ending layers of conquest and defeat and of migration and exile. If it were to be undone, we’d need to extirpate almost all peoples everywhere, including those who are currently portrayed as the hopelessly oppressed.
The earliest phase of the seventh-century Arab expansion was truly explosive, and then it continued at a slower but still impressive clip. Indeed, it is one of the most sweeping acts of conquest and successful exercises in colonialism in world history. This wasn’t the Mongols driving all before them and then receding to leave little in their trace, or the Normans getting absorbed into the England they conquered. No, the Arabs followed up their military conquest with a cultural imperialism still felt today.
Excellent post... thanks.

No, they are white west asians. Just like the jews. And the last group of whites on the planet to favor slavery.

"The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem sits atop the site of the Second Temple, the central place for Jewish worship before its destruction during the Roman siege of Jerusalem in
70 C.E. AD 70."

70 CE ? Is that anything like 70 AD? CE (Communist era) and BCE (before the Communist era) is used by Communists, atheists, Christophobes and the religious Left.

Agreed
So nicely put, even Woke-Libtards should understand it.

Because no one wants to get on the wrong side of the Sand Nazis. Or maybe the Nazis were blond mohammedans.
It is getting hard to tell.
But people are attached to their heads and want to keep them.
