If we live in the west, it’s important to remember we live in the comfort of colonization. Don’t forget those who fought and still fight for freedom.

Guys what do you think about the Israeli elections
@Suav
To my brothers and sisters in the states, are we giving any merit to these Muslims who are suddenly winning all these important elections in droves?
From your Ilhan Omar's attending the alphabet parades to the Mamdanis who promised to arrest bibi only to walk back his statement on the basis that he doesn't have the authority, how seriously can we take them? El Sayed is speaking up on Palestinian rights while being endorsed by that pos who dropped more bombs on the middle east than trump, bush and every other president.
We keep hoping there's a change coming when these scum are simply moving into the next step and manipulating the gullible population like puppets.
You call yourself a Muslim and yell free Palestine and we all just eat it up. Is it that easy?
What do y'all think?

😂 I find the concepts of Globalism and the Ummah fascinating.
The idea that 8 billion humans, or 2 billion Muslims, are somehow “one” sounds beautiful in theory.
Bro, the world runs on *national interests, borders, power, and geopolitics, not emotional slogans. 🌍
These concepts might fulfill your emotional or spiritual needs, give you a sense of belonging, and make you feel good. Nothing wrong with that.
But let's not confuse what makes us feel united with how the world actually operates.
Unity is an ideal. National interest is the reality.* 🗺️

Zio Eisenkot is only slightly ahead of zio Netanyahu in exit polls.
First projections show the opposition bloc would win 52-53 seats, while the Netanyahu bloc would have 50 seats.

To understand why these Muslim and Hindu rulers did not convert earlier to match their populations, you have to look at how power actually worked in feudal India.
Rulers maintained power through military force, alliances, and elite tax-collecting networks—not by popular votes or religious majorities.
Part 1: Why Rulers Didn't Convert Earlier
Before modern democracy, a king did not need the "approval" of the masses to rule. They relied on specific systems that made conversion politically useless or even dangerous:
• The "Sword Law" (Military Might): Rulers kept power because they had the biggest army and fortresses. As long as the peasants paid their taxes and the army remained loyal, it did not matter what religion the king practiced.
• The Muslim Ruling Elite Network: Rulers like the Nizam of Hyderabad or the Mughals belonged to a powerful, interconnected elite class across Asia and the Middle East. If a Muslim ruler converted to Hinduism, they would instantly lose their legitimacy,
