Israel vs Palestinians

You said the Gauls, which were not Germanic but Celts, and occupied the land of what is France long before the Franks got there. The Celts also inhabited the British Isles, Spain, northern Italy (until they were pushed out/assimilated), and even parts of Asia Minor. You have Gaelic (Ireland), Galatia (in Asia Minor), and Galicia (Spain). Not that it matters to the point you were trying to make, I just find things like that fascinating.

Control has been all over the place. It’s hard to keep up with who can do what. Plus recently archeologists have found evidence that the western wall was actually for the temple of Jupiter constructed by the Romans and not the actual temple. The temple itself was in a different location. If modern thought proves to be true, there is currently nothing in the way of the constitution of a new temple.
Excepting, of course, 16 meters of rubble.

(I assume you were referring to the theory from Tuvia Sagiv that the temple site is under debris from Roman destruction, and that the original site is between the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque?)

That city was an amazing place to experience.
 
I wonder what some thoughts are on WW2 bombings of cities..you go to war, you punish civilians for gov actions till goverment capitulates. Brutal, ugly, but the truth of war.

In few years, we will be back to same old.
 
Not trying to argue, but the Franks were considered a Germanic tribe, along with the Saxons, Goths, Alemanni, etc.

They are NOT German. A great example is that the Nazis never claimed the French as Germans for example.

Rome called anyone West of the Rhine Germanic.
 
Germanic peoples. Not “Germans” as in native to Germany.

England was west of the Rhine. They didn’t call them Germanic.

The entire discussion was basically saying that German and French people were the same.

I would argue Gaza and Egyptians are both Arabic today (now Ancient Egypt is another story) and that they have enough historical connections that Gaza can be added to Egypt.

No where are France and Germany connected and should be merged. Maybe Austria or Luxembourg can be considered German and added to Germany but not France.

Alsace Lorraine fits your Franco-German comparison.

Originally Germanic, the territory was signed over to the French in 1871, continued to be fought over (even part of the conflict leading to WWI), and ultimately became part of France as part of the Treaty of Versailles in 1918.
 
RIP. Vocavitque Deus mihi domum ad caelum.

Salwan Momika protested Islam, stating the religion was violent and intolerant. Last night they proved him right.





Guy was standing outside mosques burning the Qur'an and jeopardizing entire countries' relationship with the Muslim world and the resident conspiracy theorist thinks he's a hero
 
Taking something no one said and reacting "wow" to it probably sounds smart if you're stupid
By making your comment youre defending it. There’s literally no excuse for murder no matter who is doing it. Burning the Israeli flag and harassing Jews on college campus is hurting the relationship Jews have with elite colleges that allow it. Would you have the same response?
