1. The War of Independence as it is called in Israel. Others know it as the Arab-Israeli War. After the Partition Plan to split Palestine into part-Arab and part-Jewish, as many of you probably know, every Arab country around Israel waged a war of annihilation to basically prevent the state from being formed.

Now, there's different ranges of people, you know, who say, like, they were gonna kill all the Jews. I doubt they were gonna kill everybody but I think they probably would've made them refugees. But whatever it doesn't matter. They waged a war of extermination on Israel in 1948. Now here's the ironic part about this all. At that time there was 1 million Jews living in the Arab and Muslim world. 1 million. These Jews were living in those countries for 2,000+ years, okay?

When the war started then antisemitism spiked greatly in the Arab and the Muslim world. And because of that, pretty much 99.9% of all the Jews in the Middle East were forced to leave their country under threat of violence to go to Israel. So, in trying to prevent the State of Israel, they all became antisemitic, kicked all the Jews out, a million Jews, there was a million of them, and then they forced them to move to the only fucking place that they could in the entire world, which was Israel.

    Bro is worse than the democrats at this shit. He spent years cultivating an audience that only wants brainless content and specifically people always said they don't wnna hear his politics. He made Leftovers with Hasan in part because of that. A place to get all his shitty opinions out. Now he's just imploding his channel, dying on the most moronic of moronic hills.

    No one needs some American Zionist's version of Israel's formation (without watching it, let me guess: He, Ethan multimillionaire Klein, is somehow the victim in the narrative?) We've heard that shit a million times, no one but the most pathetically ignorant or evil believes it, Ethan go laze in your mansion pool until you die but do so quietly... god damn dumb people are annoying as hell. Literally so desperate to justify a genocide after 12 months... what the fuck is wrong with him

        Why is Destiny like that?

        While compiling his sources, he must have stumbled on information about the Nakba. Is he a self-aware bigot on a mission, or deeply in denial?

          He’s anti-Hasan to a borderline obsessive degree. Hes also very very very reactive against anything leftist in a right wing liberal kind of way
