In ongoing, friendly, arguments with my best friend for 47 years, who leaned Left, I would complain about illegal immigration on our southern border, to which he would say, "The land belonged to them first." And I would always reply, history is replete with stories of border disputes and land grabs.

Now, thanks to this great post, I have positive proof. I will keep this post handy for the next argument.

Thank you, ETG!

I am flattered at the sudden interest in this only editorial/story I have on my substack that I wrote back in 2021. When no one looked at this one, and another one I made that I removed, I just kinda abandoned my substack. Perhaps stuff like this is of interest. I like looking at audacious claims of the modern prevailing view and poking holes and breaking narratives.

Hey thanks for subscribing. I love this post! It's so information dense.

I'm at this very moment I'm writing a blog post about the history of area that is around modern day Israel. I've already written quite a few posts about "palestinians" over the years, and the climax we're witnessing in Gaza is something I'd like to opine about. Stay tuned.

I figured no one outside of my family would ever read this. Glad you found it useful. I may start writing regularly. But by no means am I anywhere near the prose of a Sowell, Locke, or CS Lewis -- my heroes :)

Lol, those are high standards! Just be you, that's good enough. 👍

Actually, if you’re smart enough to understand the statement, you’ll readily understand its truth.

Thanks David. I wrote this three years ago as an experiment and suddenly people are linking it. It was my first attempt at anything on substack. Maybe I will find something else to write about.

Quite welcome. I’ll bet the Left just loves you!

What they don't know is that I don't hate them the way they hate me..... My goal is to win hearts and minds with facts, logic, reason, and an appeal to objective truth.
