No one is bombing Israel into oblivion. It's not true just because you keep saying it. Palestinians need to defend themselves otherwise Israel will genocide them. How is that wrong?

I fail to understand your reasoning. There is no free movement or freedom at all in Gaza thanks to Israeli siege and daily bombardments. There can be no sovereignty under these conditions. The antecedent of a previous election doesn't

So I mention the Christian groups committing the atrocities and my post gets flagged because "religious flamewar" but here we see someone freely attributing Muslim to a group and it's all good. You people are vile bigoted hyp

Sad to see the Middle Eastern developed techniques for forging raw materials dug up in Pakistan into Damascus steel be lost to history.

The problem with the battle of Zama is that it was a head on pitched battle where both Scipio and Hannibal had very little input in how it actually played out. Hannibal was pressured by politics to not abandon any ground. Alexander philes l

Yes its a shame he didn't simply walk up to Rome's walls after Cannae and simply breath in its direction. In the end Hannibal defeated himself through his reluctance to claim his prize. Nothing small scale about crossing the alps,

Yeah totally inflated It's not like he accomplished a double envelopment of a superior force, a feat yet to be matched. Not like his victories were victories of annihilation. Not like he pierced the Roman heartland through the Alps wit

This is absolutely the stupidest statistical ‘proof’ I’ve seen yet. Not even going to mention how asinine it is to attribute army victories to generals without looking at specific contributions those generals made. What did Napoleon contrib

Ancient Greeks were not Europeans. Ancient Greeks were a combination of Levantine and Anatolian peoples. Modern Turks and Lebanese have more in common genetically to ancient Greeks than today's Europeans. The romanticizing of Greeks as

No entity exists neutrally; that is fucking niave. Courts can favor accused police and political officials. The laws must then be designed not to act to grant power to an assumed neural party, but set the stage where all parties have equal

Beyond a reasonable doubt does not mean "hurr guilty cause i tink u lying cause i don like ur face". Observers cannot be relied on to make correct judgements and the observers of the observers cannot be relied on to assess if they
