Environmental storytelling I guess?

[-] lil_tank@hexbear.net 31 points 1 day ago

No he didn't die on the toilet that's not considered environmental storytelling then

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 44 points 1 day ago

I've been thinking a lot over the past year about how absolutely fucked archaeology and history has been because of Israel's project to prove its legitimacy. We use anachronistic terms like 'Canaan' because the narrative has to fit the zionist story. There are so many people who lived and thrived in Palestine and whether they are living there now or lived there three thousand years ago their stories are being erased for the colonial project

Canaan

Your point more broadly is well taken, yes, but Canaan/Canaanite is actually a very well attested historical name that exists outside of the Hebrew Bible. The people commonly called "Phoenicians" called themselves Canaanites, and even as late as the 2nd century AD folks from North Africa around Carthage (which was originally a Phoenician colony from the city of Tyre in what is now Lebanon) called themselves "Canaanites" because they were descended from people in that region. Canaan isn't anachronistic, they were a real people who self described as Canaanite.

Israel ~~Germany~~ deploying pseudoscientific archaeologists to prove the racial heritage of Lebanon ~~Northern Europe~~

[-] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 43 points 1 day ago

Man, they're so desperate to show they're not just another group of ruthless colonizers

"You see, there are 17 tons of Zionist ~~ordnance~~ artifacts scattered over this entire area. Proof!"

That type of mustache doesn't belong on such a ghoul

Then again, he looks like Israeli John Bolton so shrug-outta-hecks

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 53 points 1 day ago

Bolton doesn't deserve the stache either

Pretend that John Bolton's IOF brother got killed by missile, for a moment... will that satisfy you?

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 40 points 1 day ago

No. I want John Bolted to a table and an electric shaver passed over his face

to prove South Lebanon is part of Israel

jesse-wtf What the fuck could that possibly mean?

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago

The claim here is that the historical Israelite kingdom of David, which lasted around a hundred years ~1000 BC and is the historical focus of a lot of stories in the Hebrew Bible, "controlled" various parts of what is now Southern Lebanon, either formally (very unlikely) or informally through hegemonic trade domination. The latter is potentially true, but how that then "proves" that Southern Lebanon is Israel is rather suspect, given that the historical Kingdom of Israel again lasted only around 100 years, was kind of a freak accident because of the giant power vacuum that developed at the end of the Late Bronze Age into the Early Iron Age in the Levant and the fact that Assyria had basically destroyed all of Jerusalem's competitors for them. The kingdom was later destroyed by the Neo-Assyrian Empire and later the Neo-Babylonians.

The claim is very funny because really, if you want to go like back further, "Israel" and "Lebanon" were both possessions of New Kingdom Egypt around ~1300 BC, and under Hittite domination before that, and before that a kind of merchant zone that shuffled between Egyptian and Sumerian control. So really, by Israeli archeological standards, Israel is actually Egyptian and Egypt has the historical right to conquer and exert control over their historical possessions in the Levant.

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 4 points 22 hours ago

Okay then by that reasoning I'll claim ~~middle england~~ Jorvik for Norway and I'll claim most of norway for the sámi and I'll claim part of the Kola peninsula for the Rus and I'll claim part of Russia for uhhh I don't know the greeks and I'll claim Greece for the italians and Italy for uhh the carthaginians? I guess that'd be northern Africa, tunisia probably? I'll claim Tunisia for France and the angevin areas for England and Cornwall goes to Portugal because it always takes that bit in Medieval 2 Total War, and Portugal obviously goes to one of the spanish kingdoms I don't remember which, Spain goes to Islam as a concept, the middle east I guess we'll give to Iran and Iran goes to China probably. No wait india and India goes to China, yeah that makes sense.
China is obviously shared between Japan, Mongolia and the dutch

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

Egypt has the historical right to conquer

white-pharaoh don't mind if I do

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

Legitimizing the greater Israel project theough “biblical archaeology” if I had to guess. Typically includes chunks of all surrounding countries including S Lebanon

"prove South Lebanon is part of israel" is literally just the "All I want is peace!" bit

If I was going to do an archaeology, I would simply not do it as part of a military detachment.
