The free Palestine crowd in a nutshell. 1. They donโt know that the Palestinians used to have elections too before Hamas did away with them 2 decades ago. 2. They donโt know this is like asking if Canadians got to vote in Israelโs election. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Community notes are the best
Iโm not. A lot of people died. A lot of people were killed. Brutal. But yet the Chinese largely respect Mao. Ask yourself why. Because there are many countries where they absolutely despise their strongmen or even put up museums to display the brutality of previous dictators. China is not one of those countries.

It is not permitted to publicly criticise Mao in China.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Iโll be keeping a running record of your stories and making sure every editor you ever deal with sees this post.
Saying this to another human isnโt edgy commentary. Itโs sick, twisted & evil. Itโs political intimidation.
Worth reading s. 241(1)(a) of Canadaโs Criminal Code.

They actually think colonies, slavery, genocide and war began in the 16th century.

Hey Tucker, can you explain how Israel is an ethnostate when Arabs got 17 fucking seats in the election?
You absolute fucking douchebag.
Cambridge professor here. Praising Mao. 45 million died by 1961. Lost.
Under โdictatorโ Mao, life expectancy in China increased by 30 years, literacy rates went from 20% to 70%, steel output grew from 1 million to 23 million tons, 47 million hectares of land was taken from landlords and given to peasants, and China was unified under a strong central state and got nuclear weapons.
Despite his failures, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand why Mao is revered in China.

Mao's Great Leap Forward and related policies caused an estimated 30-45 million famine deaths in 1959-1961 alone, with total excess deaths under his rule often estimated at 40 million or higher.

For those of you who thought the visit from a Bedford Borough Council official to investigate our daughter Zoeโs (age 12) pretend teddy bear cafe was too ridiculous to be real, here is the arrival of official. This is totally legit. She really did show up at our property to investigate the illegal teddy bears having their coffee๐งธ๐งธโ๏ธโ๏ธ

This is the type of mentality we need to see from more black men in this country.
Black Americans and the United States will become much better if black men start adopting this mentality in mass.

Two Palestinian terrorists opened fire on Israelis.
Meanwhile, Canada's state broadcaster.
You know it didnโt work out for him either right?
300 years ago women were accused of witchcraft and burned for it, but when a man turns water into wine, he is suddenly god.

HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.

The post inaccurately states the attack injured five people; two Israeli soldiers were killed and three others injured when Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a military checkpoint near Hebron.
