BCE is the standard for all scholarly material. It would be great to have a completely neutral term, at best we have to settle for a de-Christianized one.
You cannot be pro-Palestine and support Israel’s existence on their land.
If Zionists want to start a country in Antartica or something go for it, I’ll support that. But to steal other people’s homes for their own lebensraum is evil.
The reality is that they abuse their power and rarely suffer consequences.
I know of cases in Australia where the punishment for violently assaulting an autistic man in his front lawn was the group of officers having to verbally apologise. One cop beat a man in his cell and was allowed to carry out working as he was retiring soon and got to keep his pension. Cops broke a gay man’s arm in a raid on a building full of innocent gay artists and suffered nothing. A precinct made commemorative mugs with racial slurs about African immigrants, they had to undergo some training about why racism is bad.
Just days ago they capitulated to Trumps tariff threats with an unfair deal.
The agreement, grandly titled Toward a New Golden Age for the U.S.–Indonesia Alliance, promised tariff exemptions for key exports like palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and rubber. In exchange, Jakarta pledged to scrap barriers on more than 99% of U.S. imports and commit to some $33 billion in purchases of American energy, aircraft, and agricultural products.
