This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

[pictured: Ronald Reagan wearing a black suit and tie with a white shirt. His body is nearly turned sideways, chin lifted and grinning at the camera, resting his weight on his right elbow with his left hand clasped loosely over his resting right wrist. Italicized text upon this propaganda poster reads: “RONALD REAGAN speaks out against SOCIALIZED MEDICINE”]

A WWI veteran got kicked out of art school and now Israel is bombing Palestinians.

I don't think he was kicked out, he just never got in.

Nah he was in Palestine back when it was under a different foreign occupation.

You'll find it was called Judea/Judah.

Fun Fact: Palestine is derived from Philisitine. Longest turf beef ever.

(Btw, one of Israel's propaganda points is that Palestine has never been a sovereign state therefore they don't deserve to be one now, I think this handily demonstrates one of the reasons why that's a bunch of bullshit)

Technically, yeah. It went downhill when the Ottoman joined WW1 and lost.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Lol yeah. Turkey keeps their mouth shut about Israel and Palestine cuz if you ask them who should be in charge the answer is "us".
