I also don't use Twitter, Instagram or TikTok because they're terrible.
I also don't quite understand why a 20-year-old dating a 23-year-old is contentious. There's no age gap at all. Who exactly is having a problem with this?
He sounds like a perfectly normal person who just doesn't read the news.
Somewhat well adjusted, untouched by the corrupt hands of those unfamiliar with the prickly sting of fresh grass.
Well imagine if they have been dating for 4 years
16 to 19 isn't really a big gap either imo
It's not but one is an adult and shouldn't be in a relationship with the kid
Maybe not in the republic of Mormon land but fuck you retard. I had the best time in my life at that age, guess what I was the 16 y.o. part.
hundreds
Either he didn't actually play mw3 a lot or he was terrible at it.
Or, he really got into bed with all the mothers he insulted.
What DOES from the river to the sea mean?
Edit: thank you all for helping me/us understand more about this.
Borders of Palestine. Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Israeli colonialism? It's not a difficult concept ig you stop trying to deflect any criticism of Israel by calling it antisemitism.
You'd have a great point if they said: Gaza and Westbank will be free, but they're not saying that. They're saying "from the river to the sea". A quick glance at the map will teach you that this includes the entire internationally recognized territory of Israel where about 7 million jews live, who are not colonists.
So what people actually mean when they say that they want that area to be free is that they want it to be free of jews. And that my friend, is a call to genocide, also not a difficult concept.
who are not colonists.
Okay so you're either a troll or just an idiot. Given you keep trying to make me out to be an antisemite because that's the standard, and frankly only, zionist shill tactic I'm going to with the former.
But just in case you are just an idiot: all of Israel is stolen land, its a country founded by Jewish colonists that unilaterally declared independence. Every single Israeli is a coloniser and Palestinians calling for their stolen land to be given or taken back are no worse than Indians who wanted their freedom from the British.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_land_purchase_in_Palestine?wprov=sfla1
It's really no use for anyone to view this conflict as black and white as you seem to do.
What is your point? It being a purchase makes them not settlers or not colonial?
So the Americans weren't settlers because they purchased louisiana and Alaska?
Or to continue my India comparison, the British East India Company weren't colonialists because they purchased land in India?
Is that really the implication you want to make here?
Since you want to draw comparisons: would you support a terrorist organization that tries to dissolve the USA and kill or drive away all people with European or African heritage? Surely all those killed deserve that, don't they? Their ancestors made mistakes you see.
There's a pretty good Wikipedia article on it
As mentioned, it's the Jordan River to the Mediterranean. It's been used by Palestians since at least the mid 60s in a number of different chants, e.g. "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free/Arab/Islamic" (technically, the latter two are "from the water to the water" because otherwise the Arabic doesn't rhyme).
Hamas's charter says
Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea
While Netanyahu's far-right Likud party's 1977 manifesto says
between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty
It's historically been somewhat controversial, with Zionists typically saying that it calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and/or the expulsion of Jews from the area. CNN fired a political commentator for saying it ~5 years back, and it's regulated as hate speech in some places in Europe. Most pro Palestinian activists think that's ridiculous, but it's worth being aware of.
I mean the original charter for Hamas also mentioned 'killing the Jews' but I'm sure it was a side point 🤔😅
The current charter specifically makes a point of saying that that's not what they want though. Makes a point out of dragging a distinction between Jewish people (they don't have a problem with) and the Zionist project (which they do have a problem with
I'm pretty sure they took out the genocide part just because it is a bit derivative. They're committed to peaceful protests I agree.
Sometimes, it's better to be ignorant.
It's bliss
Literally 1984
How is a 3 year gap a problem if she's 20, wtf.
It's not some people are just stupid.
He said "you already know that bothers a subsection of the population", not that it actually did, it just did in his imagination.
I've literally never even once heard someone raise a fuss about an age gap that small. Dude sounds like an ass.
