Are they going to free the bodies of dead Americans or will they still be held hostage?

 

[gldnone913]

Hostage families pissed because the American hostage is getting released but the others without a foreign passport won’t. As the Israeli government wants the war to continue forever.





Biden sucked so much on this.

It always felt like there was never an effort to tell Israel to chill. Turns out, cutting off communication and circumventing them to negotiate was a palatable solution

I don’t know about you but I can’t tell the difference between a Palestinian and an Israeli. Their conflict is similar to Indians and Pakistanis, cousins of each other killing each other for retarded perceived differences.

Black Americans were expected by online leftist to put their plight above ours

I'm knowledgeable so I can tell the difference. Your knowledge begins and ends with the 2024 election unfortunately

Claiming you're dumb in Higher Learning is not a flex.

I’m talking phenotypically, they could pass as each other

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

The Biden Administration is looking more and more stupid and/or genocidal all the time -

"We are destroying more and more homes, they have nowhere to return to. The only inevitable outcome will be the desire of Gazans to emigrate outside of the Gaza Strip," Netanyahu stated.

Main thing stopping Gaza emigration is host countries, Netanyahu says

[Nkrumah Was Right]

“[My organization] has not used the term genocide before. We do now,” says Matt Duss, the executive vice president at the Center for International Policy think tank.

Since the start of the war, the US has done too little to change the dynamic on the ground. The Trump administration has demonstrated no interest in helping Palestinians and has (per Axios’ Barak Ravid) “effectively given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a green light to do as he sees fit.” Trump himself has suggested removing the Palestinian population from Gaza and sending them to nearby Arab states.https://www.vox.com/world-politics/412513/israel-gaza-offensive-gideons-chariots-trump

Americans have tuned out Gaza at the worst possible moment

Are the small cap boys going to turn on Trump?

Is the Jewish lobby stronger than MAGA?

Doubtful. Nothing material has changed.

Slavery in Qatar - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

For most of its history, Qatar practiced slavery until its abolition in 1952. Many members of the Afro-Arabian minority are descendants of the former slaves.

Omani route​

[edit]
See also: Indian Ocean slave trade
During the Omani Empire (1692–1856), Oman was a center of the Zanzibar slave trade. Slaves were trafficked from the Swahili coast of East Africa via Zanzibar to Oman. From Oman, the slaves were exported to the rest of the Arabian Peninsula and Persia, including the Trucial States, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait. Oman's optimal location between the Arabian Sea and the Gulf region positioned it as a key player in the Zanzibar slave trade. Serving as a pivotal navigation point, Oman gained significant importance in the history of the Arabian Gulf region. The economic impact of the slave trade persisted, becoming a substantial factor in shaping Oman's economy in the post-slave trade era.[3]

The Omani slave trade from Africa started to shrink in the late 19th century.

Hajj route​

[edit]
See also: Red Sea slave trade
A second route of slave trade existed, with people from both Africa and East Asia, who were smuggled to Jeddah in the Arabian Peninsula in connection to the Muslim pilgrimage, Hajj, to Mecca and Medina. Victims were tricked to perform the journey willingly in the belief that they were going on the Hajj pilgrimage, or employed as servants, and then sold upon arrival. These slaves were then exported from the Hejaz to Oman, the Trucial States, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.

Baluchi route​

[edit]
In the 1940s, a third slave trade route was noted, in which Balochis from Balochistan were shipped across the Persian Gulf, many of whom had sold themselves or their children to escape poverty.[4] In 1943, it was reported that Baloch girls were shipped via Oman and the Trucial States to Mecca, where they were popular as concubines (sex slaves), since Caucasian girls were no longer available, and were sold for $350–450.[5]
