Actual headline from the Wall Street Journal:
"The Israeli military said it is looking into the incident"
i feel like the whole world has just turned into the I think you should leave skit of the hot dog guy.
Although Palestine is majority Muslim, I don’t there’s really been too much conflict with Christians right? Israel has discriminated against and killed Arab Christians in the past including one of the journalists a few months ago
No, I understand that the Palestinian Christians have very good relations with their Muslim siblings. They have a solidarity that extends beyond religion as you might imagine.
People acting like the middle east was locked in a vicious, kill on sight style religious war for thousands of years must also take deep pride in nobody in their family tree having ever left their home town in Ohio.
And of course their paid daily editorial column in the NYT / WSJ
Just gonna leave this "bullshit religious pretexts being used as a cause of armed conflict vs 50 gallon barrels of petrichemical products exported in the last year" dot correlation chart here
No, no reason in particular
We can see the solidarity on full display in the flag used during the 1936 Arab Revolt in Palestine

I mean with Palestinian Muslims. The omission in OP’s headlines makes me think they want the audience to believe that Muslims are targeting Christians but I don’t think that’s plausible when both groups are being oppressed by Israel, so the answer is likely the other way around
It was probably better to be a Palestinian Christian under the PLO than it is under Hamas but yeah Israel also discriminate against Palestinian Christians and deny them access to holy sites

I'm sure there is some antisemitic conspiracy theory floating around out there about all of these blasts somehow being connected and intentional.
That'll play well in Russia
genocidal fascists stop alienating the whole world challenge any% (impossible)
It’ll play well with Ukraine because they’ll throw their own people under a bus for a piece of Israeli pie
They're going to be less thrilled about the US diverting already packed Ukraine-bound weapon shipments to Israel though, lol
Shit, this might actually result in a monkey's paw version of the quick end to the Ukranian war we all want
It doesn't feel good
On the bright side, nobody is going to want to be an American proxy in the future. Dying empire stay flaky
Did the person who made the meme mix up the Saudi Arabia and Palestine flags?
It is a common symbol for all Muslim. It is the testimony:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّٰه مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّٰه
And green is the color of the paradise garden.
Saudi version have a sword under.
it says "There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"
Almost as if there's one country that's a common factor in all of these conflicts
still pretty high, really. China has time on its side and continues to pursue integration via economic and infrastructure agreements
b-b-but we spend the MOST on military expenditures worldwide! that means ours is the best, just like our education system (our children is learning)
Look at this f35. The reason we don't have healthcare!
Oh that plane that can't fly in rain. Awesome way to spend money.
The US has the highest private and the highest public per capita healthcare expenditure in the world.
The healthcare, however, is shit. For much of the same reasons the F-35 is shit.
Unification? Almost impossible. Integration? Almost definitely. The DPP can't change the fact that economic integration is going to happen whether they like it or not. Taiwan is, by geography, always going to be economically tied to China.
China's goal is simply to avoid a Cuban Missile Crisis in Taiwan. That's it. They're happy to cooperate with the KMT on integration without unification. They were perfectly happy with the status quo of the Taiwan Strait being Chinese territorial waters (with two interpretations...).
also the KMT have consistently made efforts to avoid an escalation like that with China. They don't want to be in the middle of a proxy war because they don't want their home to become a battlefield
