About a year ago there was a big sign in the window about the soon

a year and a half ago, maybe more. Some time last fall I was

parked in front and was draped in a Palestinian flag. Not a fan of
the cause and and did not appreciate the anti Semitic message.

Antisemitism is hostility, prejudice, or hatred directed
specifically against Jewish people.

You can support the Palestinian people without being an anti-Semite.
You can deplore the actions of the government of Israel without
being an anti-Semite.

Both jews and arabs are semites. But they have always, and will
always hate and fight each other as much as possible.

Now you know why:


"...the term was coined in 1879 by German agitator Wilhelm Marr
specifically as a pseudo-scientific, racialized term for hatred against
Jews."


Key Facts About Wilhelm Marr

"Lifespan:

Born November 16, 1819, in
Magdeburg, Germany; died July 17, 1904, in Hamburg, Germany.

Role:
German political agitator, journalist, and publicist.

Coining the Term:

In his 1879 pamphlet, The Way to Victory of Germanism
over Judaism, Marr used the German word Antisemitismus to describe
contemporary anti-Jewish political movements in central Europe.

Shift from Religion to Race:

Marr wanted to move away from traditional,
religion-based "Jew-hatred" (Judenhass). He argued that Jewish identity
was fixed by race rather than faith, framing Jews as a distinct and
threatening "Semitic" group.

League of Antisemites:

In 1879, Marr founded the Antisemiten-Liga
(League of Antisemites), which was the first German political
organization explicitly dedicated to combating the alleged dominance of
Jews.

Later Regret:

Late in life, specifically in his 1891 text Testament of
an Antisemite, Marr expressed regret and distanced himself from his
earlier extreme anti-Jewish agitation, admitting that the movement had
gone too far."

WOW - DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT TODAY???

A classic GRIEVANCE INDUSTRY redefinition.

with organic rice flour, itrCOs difficult to tell the rice noodles
themselves apart from the other wheat pastas on this list. The noodles
hold up well even after theyrCOve been nuked to oblivion (a blunder on my part). Considering this frozen lasagna itrCOs also dairy-freerCosomething I would not have guessed by flavor alone, mostly because this AmyrCOs
lasagna also lacked cheeserCoAmyrCOs Kitchen certainly gets high marks in
the sensitive tummy department. The basil-forward, slightly sweet
tomato sauce is the best part of this dish, even if the lasagna itself
comes out too soupy. Less soup, more fake cheese please! rCoAriana Losch

AI Overview

The United States imports most of its crude oil from
Canada, which supplies over 60% of total U.S. crude imports.

Top U.S. Oil Supplying Nations

Canada: Supplies roughly 4.5 million
barrels per day (b/d), making it by far the largest foreign supplier
due to integrated pipelines.

Mexico: Ranks second, providing around
500,000 barrels per day of heavy crude suited for Gulf Coast
refineries.

Saudi Arabia: Provides roughly 326,000 barrels per day,
supporting strategic reserves and refining needs.

Iraq: Delivers about
249,000 barrels per day.

Brazil and Colombia: Each supply over 220,000
barrels per day.

AI Overview

OPEC nations supplied about 12% to 16% of U.S. oil
and petroleum imports in 2024, depending on whether the measure tracks
strictly crude oil or total petroleum.


WE CAN EASILY PRODUCE OUR OWN TO COVER THAT.
