Brief History of Israel with supplemental notes

Simplified history of the Jews in the land of Israel:

In the second century, the Jewish people were basically removed entirely (and forcefully) from the land by the Romans, who controlled the region. The Roman empire naturally morphed into the Catholic church. The area was taken over by the Muslims in their aggressive and brutal expansionist colonial conquest of the region. It was […]

Religion is Not a Firm Foundation for Reality or Morality

Religion corrupts our sense of REALITY and it corrupts our sense of MORALITY. These two corruptions combine to harm humanity and to cause terrible suffering.

Firstly religion corrupts our sense of reality.
It encourages us to believe in implausible and untestable assertions based on faith. By Faith i mean believing in something because you want to believe it disproportionally to the best available evidence.
Normally […]

What Motivated the Oct 7th, 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas

What motivated the October 7th, 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas was a part of a long and wide history of Islamic aggression and violence directed towards Jews (their absolute favourite scapegoat), Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, ‘infidels’, ‘apostates’ etc going back to the 7th century. What motivated Mohammad to attack the Jews and Christians of the region initially is that he was disappointed […]

Open letter to Avaaz

Recieved a letter from Avaaz this morning re the takeover of Syria by ISIS linked forces. It seems that Avaaz is optimistic that this is a positive thing for the people of Syria. Here is my response.

Sadly the Rebels appear to be Islamic fundamentalists so that’s not really the whole story is it. Don’t lie by omission, out with it. Now […]

Free Palestinians from Hamas et al!

Free Palestinians from Hamas and their hateful ideology, manipulative propaganda, and criminally insane methods. For example the practice of using the people of Gaza as human shields and cannon fodder for their sick PR campaign. Free Islam from their long history of persecuting Jews and Christians, Hindus and Buddhists for no other reason than they are not Muslim. This vile practice goes […]

Hamas Vile and Sinister Strategy for Media Manipulation & Propaganda

Hamas’s strategy is complex and sinister. By intentionally putting civilians in harm’s way, they aim to create a PR crisis for Israel, exploiting the resulting civilian casualties as a propaganda tool. This approach is rooted in their ideology, which prioritizes the destruction of Israel over the well-being of their own people.

Hamas leaders have explicitly stated their willingness to […]

Werleman rebuttal

https://youtu.be/qrBTpdUicpo

Werleman says “why do American Jews Sympathize with Hamas?”

For the most part they don’t. Those that do are mostly not too bright or disingenuous like Werleman who is a paid propagandist for Hamas et al.

What is in the process of being destroyed is the ideology of Islamism and the widespread terrorism […]
