I understand and, however reluctantly, accept that time moves on, and that, today, things change at an accelerated pace but, boy, things sure have changed–

Linked below is a colorized video of the bustling Philadelphia of 1915.*

The last time I visited my old hometown of Philly was 15 or so years ago and, after that last visit, I no longer wanted to visit again.

What I observed those 15 years ago was nothing like the active (and usually well dressed) on the move Philadelphia pictured in 1915.

“…The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (29 November), established by the UN in 1977 to mark the 1947 partition resolution, continues to highlight the urgent need for peace in the Middle East.”

The Arabs at the time immediately rejected that partition resolution entirely, completely, totally.

They wanted to nip the nascent Jewish State in the bud and tried their hardest to do so.
Several times.

Alas, it didn’t exactly work out like it was supposed to…the poor, poor victims…

(And whaddaya know: a great many of them STILL ARE TRYING THEIR HARDEST… It is, after all, a moral imperative!)

But the masters of lying gotta lie; and the masters of misrepresentation gotta misrepresent; and the masters of manipulation gotta manipulate…

Meanwhile, “Palestine from the Jordan to the Sea”(TM)…is as consistent with PARTITION now as it was in 1947….

File under: “URGENT NEED”—to destroy the Zionist Entity…(NOW MORE THAN EVER…)

That was the post-Thanksgiving plan for hundreds of runners around the Washington area who gathered for a Taco Bell-themed ultramarathon on Saturday. They started at a location in Alexandria, Virginia, and hit eight other stops across the Old Dominion and the District, consuming at least one menu item at each establishment.

“Honoring 29 November: Global Solidarity with the Palestinian People

The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (29 November), established by the UN in 1977 to mark the 1947 partition resolution, continues to highlight the urgent need for peace in the Middle East.”

I can sympathize. Unfortunately we are already dealing with dozens if not hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan refugees here, many of whom are hostile assets. I do not want a war, but we have been hoping utterly hostile regimes like Cuba’s and Venezuela’s would go away or reform for decades to no avail. And for better or worse if things did go hot there is a waiting Venezuelan government in exile based on the legitimate election winners, so I imagine it would be less of a bother than the other examples. At least to some degree. But you are correct, we have hamstrung ourselves in war and apparently lack the knowledge on how to win both it and the peace.

This is the first I’ve heard of an Israel angle.
