>uh the very unique palestinian people had to try to occupy israel right after your started building civilization there how dare you live there give it to the jordanians its theirs because you’re jewish
Palestinians did not have a national identity until they wanted to say jews couldnt live in israel. They were just arabs from neighboring regions. There were 690,000 arabs fucking around in israel. As soon as jews came back? Millions. From egypt/lebanon/jordan.

This is the palestinian identity: “we are arabs teaming up to colonize israel before the jews get to it, because we fucking hate jews”
They are an invading force that thought dragging their families into a warzone and claiming innocence was the path to victory, and therefore arab occupation of their fake religions holy sites (that actually belong to jews). Jewish treachery is a myth - the real offenders are arabs. If you support the non entity of palestine, you just got takiyya’d. They probably told you they lost land to israeli genocide, but actually, they claimed land, attacked israeli, and got put in their place. Maybe the shouldnt have illegally moved their families onto jewish land.

You have been fed a false narrative. Palestinians are as "valid" as random mexicans attempting to claim california with terrorism and human shield tactics because once upon a time a few people from mexico lived there before its legal owner turned the land over to the US.

(1) Palestine's Palestinians were called "Palestinians" in the 1890's.
Israel was founded in 1948...

(2) The original occupants of Israel were the Canaanites who were most closely related to the modern-day Lebanese based on DNA comparisons.

(3) The kingdom of David and Solomon have no archeological evidence of existing. But, there is plenty of evidence of all the enemies of the Jews existing in that area.
The Omrides are very well represented as an example.

Neither modern Palestinians or Jews have a legitimate claim to Israel historically speaking.
The only claim Jews have is a religious one.
>>Average cat eater
Yahweh (Your imaginary sky daddy) told you to love cats and hate dogs. Every Abrahamic religion shares that feature because it was copied from Judaism.
Islam is bad because it's based on Judaism. Christianity is bad because its founders were all Jews. Judaism is like a constantly mutating pathogen.

No, cats are slaves and inferiors.

You can let any animal out to go feral and refuse to train it. That doesnt mean they’re not slaves by nature. Do you know how I got my cat? I fed someone elses outdoor cat, and one day after i baited it inside inside for more fish i shut the door. My cat now. Shelter fees can suck it.

Why are dog people like this? Cat people don’t give a fuck what their cat is.
>This is my cat, his breed is orange.

AKC fucks scream about purity in breeds and health then make the pug suffer it’s whole existence. Every person I have interacted with who doesn’t care about AKC just love their dog. So what is it about the AKC that makes people so fucking retarded?

Related, but a lot of people don’t truly understand how destructive elephants are to the environment, (not their fault though) in some countries they have built dams and caused their migratory patterns to be disrupted and land locking them, causing their populations to grow extremely large, making foraging for food scarce, they will topple trees just to eat the couple of leaves they have, leaving the land bare for miles, this is a real threat right now in many countries.

I have a friend who actually travels all over the world and works with governments to help control populations (hunting for scientific research, and giving the food to local tribes) he does this not only for elephants, but other species too.

I feel bad for bison.
Every time you go to the zoo, what does the bison exhibit ALWAYS say?
They ALWAYS mention that time they were almost hunted to extinction. This will constitute probably more than half of the text of any given article written about them. It's the only thing everyone knows about them.
Bison deserve a more positive reputation than this victim narrative. They're majestic creatures.

When it comes to non-domesticated animals, most people can only recite the last two or three facts they heard about in memes.

Eating bugs is more cruel than eating cows or pigs because you have to kill a lot more bugs to make a meal. With a cow you can feed almost 1000 people for every cow you kill, but you'd need to kill over 10 million bugs to feed the same number of people.
