how about he just gets rid of the stupid fucking tariffs that have basically embargoed his own country.

If only he wasn’t putin’s bitch.

Its as if… they already thought of that… years ago!

FYI… I worked on Madden. You would probably be surprised by how big their team is. I know I was.

Hey look! A distraction!!

What this article doesn’t mention is the fact that one of largest burgeoning video game dev regions in the world right now is the middle east. There are a lot of studios that are going to be closed in the near future and moved from America to the middle east, where labor is much much cheaper. The game industry in the United States is circling the drain.

what the hell are you talking about? look at the jewish populations in nearly every single country in the middle east compared to what they were at the beginning of the 20th century.

I will block anyone who tries to be this disingenuous with their statements. You aren’t worth my time.

I don’t agree with you on your point about finishing the job.

How is Israel fascist?

I’m so glad I feel no need to actually go to concerts.

Its been flawed for a pretty long time at this point. The fact that Russia has remained a member for all these years is proof enough of that.

israel is more of a democracy at this point than the united states.

proof of your inability to read.

I love how you guys try to push this dishonest argument that everything started in 1948. It did not. Things happened before that. There was violence on both sides, with full blown pogroms breaking out in 1920, 1921, and 1929. Arabs were offered a much bigger chunk of the region, they refused it because they wanted all of the land which would have meant the eradication of the jews in the region, much as has occurred elsewhere throughout the middle east. The Jews fought back with Israel and people like you just don’t seem to like it.

I’m so tired of getting in this repeated argument about this very same thing with people like you who just refuse to acknowledge history before 1948. The history matters, no matter how much you want to try to ignore it.

where did i mention manifest destiny?

i am aware. its too bad other people here aren’t – or just, seemingly, refuse to acknowledge it.

im not using these land ties to justify genocide, only to show that your point, while i know its sarcastic, doesn’t really hold much weight. Jews were literally invited to the region by the ottomans.

I know we don’t like reddit here, but this post contains just a smidgin of my potential rebuttal.

This is a very poor comparison. I think you already know that though.

Were the jews violently attacking the germans prior to the holocaust?

I don’t know why people like you can’t seem to comprehend the idea that the Israelis have been living in the region for thousands of years. Yes a lot of Israelis returned to Israel in 20th century, but it is their ancestral homeland (Jews were expelled from the region – you are aware that they were subject to forced expulsion, aren’t you?), and the fact of the matter is european migration to the area goes back to the 1500s. Those migrants didn’t steal their land and they didn’t just come uninvited.

And both sides have acted in a genocidal manner toward the other at this point. Many people would argue that Israel has even restrained itself. If you want to sit there and act as if Gazans wouldn’t kill every single jew in Israel given the opportunity you can go ahead and delude yourself, but they have already stated that they would and the rest of the middle east serves as extremely good evidence of the violently homogenized culture of the region.

You cannot just pick and choose the parts of history which serve your purpose.

Its not that difficult. In fact that state already exists.
