A nobel peace prize for the Abraham Accords but it's probably the case it contributed to more tension between Hamas, Iran and Israel because it didn't directly address the Palestinian conflict and sidelined the Palestinians. Not only that but those that signed off were nations who were not in any conflict with Israel, like Saudi Arabia for instance already had a relationship with Israel.

I’m not sure why, but at my lowest point this song helped me.

Loooooool

The sky at dawn.

It’s sold in stores in Canada.

I’ll speak to your first point. I share in your frustration about the hypocrisy of the right. It was cringe when the right became this party that’s allegedly “the party of free speech”. This is the same group that was pleased with having people like Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, Helen Thomas, and Phil Donahue cancelled back in the pre-social media days. This is also the same party that expected people to be politically correct when it came to critiques against America, where the PC thing to do is to be “patriotic” and nationalistic. They also whine about identity politics and anti-white rhetoric but are completely unrestrained to play identity politics and engage in racism when they want to, like when Ben Shapiro infamously tweeted that Jews love to build while Arabs love to live in open sewage; and therefore the choice to back one ethnic group’s expansion of settlements at the expense of the other should be an easy one for everyone to make. So none of this is surprising to any of us. We all saw this coming the moment they started fronting as if they were standing up for principles. They don’t stand for principles, they're tribal, they stand for their team. That’s how it’s always been. It also used to be that the left was good at making the right look stupid when highlighting their hypocrisy. Nowadays it doesn’t feel like that’s the case, probably because the cultural ideals of the left has since moved further away from what a lot of people are comfortable with.

True, everyone dies and there is no wasted life. So I'm not sure why I, if I'm not mistaken, recall you writing about lack of female rights in the Middle East some time ago.

Well. That sucks to know :(.

I will also block the ignorant, and I'm starting with you. Blocked.

Israel's truth isn't always the truth. For example, Israel's propaganda was that upon nationhood, Palestinians weren't expelled but instead left on their own accord because they were scared. However this obscures the truth. The truth was that Ben Gurion himself told IDF soldiers to sabotage Arab villages in order to get them to leave. You can watch the Tantura documentary where IDF veterans testify this and they (researchers in the film) even bring up old documents buried in IDF archives more or less corroborating this. This confirms the unspoken and known implication that when Israel got nationhood, that there was no room for the Arabs. That they would have to leave and become refugees. A "transfer of population". This is just one example against your stance to firmly stand by "her truth". You talk about nuance and being part of the problem, but to be convinced that a nation's narrative (i.e. propaganda) is the truth and you'll stand by it demonstrates your bias. This is why I don't even bother replying on this topic. There is no nuance. There is just the Israeli narrative.

even if my raps is poor, and my choice of words is uncreative, i would like to dedicate my efforts to the creative side of me. if i were to bleed, in my moment of weakness, i would see, clearly, what needs to be. to go from this point to the point that i want to go to, and know it's all true, that the problem lies in my inhibitions, conditioned to be caged from saying what i want to say, or to have the conviction to believe in my beliefs. i must succeed. every try is a step closer to unclosing the steps that can form my path. to attain, perfect, and come to know a better version of my craft. every good thing produced was learned from a number of past iterations, therefore repetition is the key but meaningless attempts is a waste of time, to get with the time, every attempt must be quality to prevent wasted time. on the path to something better. hoping to find the secrets and glimpse the success of a trend-setter.

Of course they were going to let it slide, when people hold such a massive bias for their artist, their judgment is obscured. Funny thing is when MGK dropped that track, people said it was terrible on the YT comments but if you look now, many people seemingly hold the view that it was in fact, pretty good. Anyways, good on MGK for coming out of that beef and doing well for himself. Like you said, it turned out alright for him.

I liked MGK's diss against Eminem, still think he got the best of him to this day. I was definitely in the minority on this take, and still am. But I think Eminem is an easy target if you just poke at his insecurity of how he's viewed in terms of his rap skills (if you call him overrated), how he's fallen off music-wise, and how he's too old to be acting like this way. At least pivot to being an adult rapper like a Kanye or Jay-Z. Just my two cents. Candace's takes on Eminem are spot-on. His behavior is cringe given his age.

In the generations of the past and even in generations of most people’s parents in other civilizations, there wasn’t this idea of being fulfilled from ‘being in love’. There was no concept of soul-mates either. All this might complicate the expectations of marriage. And is probably unsustainable too. What you just said sounds healthier and more sustainable.

Yup. It wasn’t about having the town square be politically neutral, but having it as a vehicle for the other side.

I haven’t smoked marijuana in over a decade but it calls to me from time to time during the most unexpected times.

Nice to meet you too my kin 🤍

I was born and raised in Canada but I’m southern Iraqi.

When was the last time you visited Syria, do you have plans to, do you miss it?

When trump comes to power he could annex the Gaza Strip to Israel, just like he made Jerusalem the capital. God knows what’ll be of the refugee situation.

My whole feed is filled with anti Arab racism, demonization and vilification of Muslims, and pro Israel death campaign. I’ve blocked over 50 accounts on my timeline but when I refresh i still gotta get to blocking. It’s weird, I haven’t posted under any pro Israel tweets other than once or twice the past week.

As opposed to Israelis being granted nationhood and Ben Gurion sending the order to the IDF to “sabotage” Arab villages in order to get them to leave “Jewish land”; all the while finding ways to hush it all up, including massacres? But this is fine because we can use Palestinian Arabs aren’t civilized (tm) card to hide from the fact that we are tribal and just want the land to be Jewish majority for the simple fact that’s “it’s our land”. And you can never disprove that we would’ve otherwise kept them as part of our state and so that’s that for this discussion. Cool. You guys got your playbook down neatly. Crafty playbook. The fact of the matter is that Palestinians are kept from being majority (and hence expelled) because the land was given to Jews by the United Nations for Jews. There can never be a majority Arab nation because the land “isn’t theirs”. Don’t gaslight us on that Jewish propaganda that it’s because of a threat. As if when they partitioned the land to the Jews, if the Arabs never made any resistance they would’ve all been part of the state. Don’t insult us with that. Lastly, let’s not kid ourselves that Israel doesn’t want so called Judea and Samaria restored as their own land inhabited by its’ people. And to have the Palestinians, as a population, to be practically erased within the state. Why? Because it’s an ethnostate. It all boils down to “our land”, and not to some threat.

I thought he was coming at you for that. I don't know anymore. But I stand by what I said.

Destiny is unhinged. This isn't something new or controversial. He moves like a sociopath. There is something fundamentally wrong with how he can be so unkind, cruel, and devoid of sympathy or feelings towards others. He has laughed about the suicide of his best (?) friend before. Found the whole thing funny. Didn't care to persuade his friend away from it. To him, it was whatever. That guy is not normal in the head.

There is value in the construction of man. For sure there is. I mean most men see women as beautiful creatures because they believe most fit the archetype, which is the construction.
