This is not a photo from Palestinian Nakba 1948. This is a photo from Palestinian 2025 with all the color taken out. A chilling reminder that history repeats... It was never about “self-defense”. It was always about ethnic cleansing.

This is a very ignorant statement. In 1774, the Continental Congress called Catholicism "a religion that has deluged your island [Britain] in blood, and dispersed impiety, bigotry, persecution, murder and rebellion through every part of the world".
The Founders wanted unity and peace among all of the various Christian denominations. Islam wasn’t anywhere on their radar screen. There were basically zero Muslims in America when the Bill of Rights was written. It didn’t factor into their calculations at all.
