The denial of Palestinian history and tradition by ignorants was the goal of negating Palestinian historical right is a Zionist myth to usurp Palestine
The claim that“there are no Palestinians and there never was a Palestine” is misleading conclusion with a much broader denial that does not hold up

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law.
Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars.

Um, Israel and its zionist supporters have already been influencing our elections and bribing our politicians for decades and we hate it.

I was once team Raygun. After her heavy-handed legal threats, no more
The Australian breakdancer’s demand that a venue pay her $10,000 in legal fees over a tribute show she forced them to cancel is beyond a joke.

But you should be worried about what it’s doing for the federal government.
