  • The green Sahara was gone 5 000 years ago when Egypt barely started being Egypt and long before Assyria, the Bronze Age Collapse happened 3 200 years ago, and the Old Testament started getting written a bit before 600 BCE over a few hundred years. The Egyptians and Assyrians already had their breadbasket, it was the fertile crescent from the Nile to the Tigris and Euphrates, it was not a desert there.

    The israelite texts survived because they were written right when some big empires (Babylon and the Achaemenids) came around and then carried them over until the Greeks and Romans came by.






  • What you’re pretending to miss is that those in powers are making sure that those people remain “illegal” , on purpose. In the first place, you’re the one creating the situation of them being “in the country illegally”.

    The correct solution is to give them papers, not to deport them and treat them like criminals for a situation you put them in. Remember that the “you’re on the table” argument that you claim is reasonable is putting them in prison where you can exploit them harder as slaves, it’s only one step after what’s happening to them already.

    Everyone can be illegal if you don’t make anyone legal and then claim they’re only getting punished because they broke the law. There’s nothing reasonable there.



  • We also know from that other study this summer that two groups of Neanderthals stayed in their respective cave system 10 days away from each other, for 50 000 years, and never interbred. People from the end of that 50 000 year period had the same gene pool as those from the beginning, and none from the neighbour group. 50 000 years of no one walking 10 days to clap cheeks. Until the extravert Sapiens jocks walked in and adopted an introvert Neanderthal to pull out of their cave and fuck for, apparently, some 5 000+ years, shortly before Neanderthal extinction (or assimilation of the hot ones into Sapiens I should say).

    That article pondered the difference in world views between the two, but yeah, autism works too.



  • the people of Europe showing that unlike their governments, they do not tolerate genocidal apartheid supporters

    I don’t know the details for each country, but as a Western European, it seems to me that apart from Germany, European governments are generally trying to distance themselves from Israel more and more, so there’s that. I can’t tell what each country does in details and in facts, but it’s the impression I’m getting. I know France has taken a couple punishing actions like banning them from an important military sales show and calling for a ban on weapon sales. Anyone knows if other countries have done similar things or the opposite?
