Yes, America turned away boatloads of Jews. Yes, the world did not do enough, and turned a blind eye when it didn't affect them directly. > That wasn't the reason for the war. This is false. Hitler spoke and wrote at length abo

Except they purchased their way into many of these. Their advertising business was built on a number of acquisitions (DoubleClick, AdMob) - strategic acquisitions, surely, and they improved on them since - but it is not as if they bult the

So you are doubling down on your conpiracy-minded and anti-semitic claim that Ashkenazi Jews are not real. I am going to link a Reddit comment I found with a very quick Google search that addresses it and call it a night. I hope you are abl

Formalizing relations is certainly news. It seems they plan to establish embassies, create direct flights, etc.

There are consequences to starting wars of aggression intending to destroy a nation. One of those consequences is losing land if you lose the war.

This (to my understanding) was the purpose of the Senate originally. Appointed by the states (however they choose), for terms of 6 years. This means they represent the interest of the state as a whole, not of the individual voters.

That may very well be the case, it does appear to be selective enforcement - but the comment I was responding to made it sound as if the person arrested was merely related to the CEO, when she is in fact the CFO.

Except when it leads to endless criticism, with nobody actually getting their game together and doing something. It is very easy to criticize, and allowing people to criticize with nothing to show can very quickly discourage people from m

It has larger grains. It is called "kosher" salt because larger grain salt (typically coarser than even typical kosher salt) is used to drain the blood from meat and fowl, a necessary step in rendering it kosher by Jewish law. Ed

Another important point is that the eruv was instituted because of the rabbinic prohibition on carrying in a semi-public area. According to Jewish law there are 4 categories of domains: 1) Public (Large area, heavy traffic), 2) Semi-publi
