Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The Jewish settlers didn't live in Palestine, they lived in Europe and then moved to Palestine to steal the land. They're white.
Just because one ancestor a dozen generations ago lived somewhere doesn't mean you have a right to evict the actual people living on that land.
That thinking is like believing you have the right to expel the people that lives in the house your grandmother lived on but left when she got married. But now the house is yours because "here lived my family".
Yeah, but then add a dozen or more generations. Not your grandma, your many times removed ancestor from before the printing press or some shit.
I said grandmother to show an example that can't be used with the "but it's an historical thing".
So you created an example that doesn't match on purpose?
To show how dumb is that argument. "My ancestors from 2000 years ago lived there, therefore this land is mine" is as dumb as "my grandmother lived there, therefore this house is mine". With the same reasoning, Italy could claim all the Mediterranean coast belongs to them. And if it's from "God gave us this land", Spain and Portugal divided the Earth (except Europe) for them "because God". Does this mean Spain and Portugal can claim "their land" back?
