    I’ve already commented but sorry I got to say

    “The first ever mention of an ancient land called Israel was by an Egyptian Pharaoh, Merneptah, 3429 years ago,” reads a meme that has made the rounds on Facebook. “The first ever mention of an ancient land called Palestine was by an Egyptian opportunist, Yasser Arafat, 57 years ago.”

    Literally the Do you have a flag argument.

      Didn’t the Romans call it Palestine after crushing a Jewish uprising? So no not 57 years ago.

      Anyways the Arab voters made their bed by voting for Trump and not genocide joe or whatever they called Harris.

      Good luck with that now.

      Doubly insane when the first mention of what’s thought to be the Palestinians was by Ramesses III, 3199 years ago.

        The entire United States has some problems if “was there thousands of years ago” indicates who should be allowed to control and oppress people now.
