"there's no such place as "Palestine"! "Palestine" was what the Romans called Israel and Judea.

Calling the Arab Muslims who live in Israel "Palestinians" and clamoring for a free, autonomous "Palestine" is like calling the Arab Muslims who live in France "Gaulians" and clamoring for a free, autonomous "Gaul"."

Before the Allied (mainly British) invasion of that land during WW1, at least for more than a thousand years it was considered part of region called Syria and officially recognized under the municipalities of Damascus, Acre, Jerusalem among others. People composed of Arab, Kurdish, Syriac, Egyptian, Turkic, and--a minority of--Jewish origins lived, farmed, traded for a looooong time there.

The same people who called it Palestine are calling it Israel Today. it was first called Palestine by the Allies shortly before their invasion, and given to secular nationalists Arabs in return for their rebellion against their Ottoman rulers.

Following their successful rebellion with the Allied support, British Petrol (BP) got what they wanted, the underdog Arab tribes got what wanted (By overthrowing the loyalist Arabic tribe who ruled as the Sheriff of Jerusalem--Ottoman legal position for the local governor) and they happily called themselves Palestinians (if only Arabs studied the bible a little bit LOL).

Later--of course--the allies decided(!) to replace the local population with Jews imported from Europe, and called it Israel. This was all a result of Zionist efforts. The whole thing was probably an artificial reanimation of biblical history which looks phony as fuck.

That's why it's called stolen land. The local population rebelling against their overlords and declaring independence is one thing (as sketchy as their claims look, since the ruling tribes were also local and refused to cooperate with foreign invaders), replacing a local population overnight with a foreign one overnight--by breaking your word as a military ally and backstabbing them is a whole other thing. Americans fought for America--stolen or not. Israel didn't fight for Israel, they asked us to do it and they never stopped asking since.

My last paragraph is my personal view, the rest are historical facts. You can run some mental gymnastics to justify a contrary view to mine, but dude idgaf about some foreigners who depend on American resources to own their home. I don't even have free healthcare here, but my taxes are paying for their housing in billions of $$$ every year. You aint justifying that shit to me.

@SeasonedRP Simple. Like any other "free" market, short supply will drive up production and a new equilibrium will be reached after an initial spike in the prices.

That's not happening with the housing market, because it's not a free market. There is a law. If 20% of the residents object to a new project in the town hall, that project is vetoed.

Guess what? There's always a 20% boomer nosy retired-military type of population who are willing to show their assess in the town hall when we're at work.

That's why new houses are not being built despite the increasing demand.

Again. Nothing to do with immigrants. In a healthy society, population will always increase, and the US ain't running out of land anytime soon. It's one of the least densely populated countries in the World. The construction business haven't stopped in those most densely populated ones yet.

I haven't written anything in my initial comment without doing my due diligence. I'm not gonna spend hours replying to you guys here.

Swallow your pride and go do your research or stop calling yourself red pilled. Or don't... I'm okay with a little irony.

Oh! about the illegal crossing thing. How the fuck are immigrants supposed to enter? Since the early 2000s, legal ways of immigrating to the US has been made so difficult, it's almost like illegal immigration has been encouraged.

It's not like how it was when your great grandparents came here dude. You can't just pack your shit and register at the harbor anymore. These hispanics ain't really doing anything your grandparents didn't. They're just not white. South Africans on the other hand (The white ones) are free to come.

It's never about race. Sureeee...

@Typo-MAGAshiv "They're the ones fighting to replace regular Americans with cheap illegal aliens, who in turn drive up prices on everything (especially housing)." The boomers in the hood who are hoarding houses to rent out and have the time in the middle of a business day to attend town hall meetings are the ones who are driving up the housing prices. This has little to nothing to do with immigrants.

Billionaires want you to blame imigrants because they don't want you to blame them.

The reality is, they dump millions into presidential campaigns and lobbying, so they can save hundreds of millions in the long run by influencing legislation. AKA whoever you vote, the elected officials won't listen to you. They are shifting more wealth from under you, to themselves. That's what's driving up the prices.

You can thank the supreme court for this, since they ruled out bribery as "freedom of speech".

There are only a few bad aspects of immigration I can see--and these are far outnumbered by the advantages: • Cartel activity • Isolated communities failing to integrate.

The administration have done nothing to fix these issues so far anyway. Not even a little bit.

Leaving an oppressive state and coming here to start a better life and enjoying the freedom has always been part of the American culture. You should give some credit to that.

The "immigration problem" is the biggest lie told to you by the party, as a privacy cover for the billionaires who fund them.
