@no1marauder saidMarx definitely addressed the slavery issue in his writings.
In the US that's true but not in most of Europe, Marx's and Engel's target audience.

Karl Marx
Capital
(Volume I)
1867
Part Ill: The Production of Absolute Surplus Value
Chapter X: The Working Day
[excerpt]
The slave-owner buys his labourer as he buys his horse. If he loses his slave, he loses capital that can only be restored by new outlay in the slave-mart. But "the rice-grounds of Georgia, or the swamps of the Mississippi may be fatally injurious to the human constitution; but the waste of human life which the cultivation of these districts necessitates, is not so great that it cannot be repaired from the teeming preserves of Virginia and Kentucky.

@athousandyoung saidThanks for that link. Didn't know that.
No they didn't. Palestine gave us Jesus.

Palestine was was controlled by Israel until the Romans took it over. The Arabs didn't inhabit the land until a few hundred years later.
When Jesus was born, present-day Palestine was technically part of Roman-occupied Israel.

@vivify saidNo, the provinces of Judah and Israel were part of Roman Palestine. Rome preferred the name Palestine because it came from Philistine which came from the Greeks. The Romans were obsessed with Greeks and indifferent to Jews so they preferred the Greek name.

It is correct that Arabs did not take over until many centuries afterwards.

So is that obsession why there are Roman versions of Greek gods? Interesting.
Your historical knowledge is killer.
@metal-brain saidIsrael has given us 2 major religions, is home to a third and 3000 years of peace, love and happiness.
Israel is not even in NATO. Why are we defending a non NATO member when we are broke?

@shavixmir saidNo they didn't. Israel did not exist when their religion evolved. You mean Jews.

@rajk999 saidNo, you have a bully mentality. You think if they cannot recover from your bullying they are losers. You would not let your children be bullied like that and you know why. You want them to be able to compete on a level playing field so to speak and you know it. You would never allow your own family be beaten down like that and nobody knows that better than you.
You have a loser mentality. Poor socialists, the capitalists did not give them a chance. Its called 'victims', 'losers'. who are failures. Nobody has to give you a chance. If you need that you have lost already. Go to the back of the class loser.
Lie to someone else.
@metal-brain saidGood God man.
No they didn't. Israel did not exist when their religion evolved. You mean Jews.
A. It was a joke.
B. You mean the Hebrews. And Judaism was evolving at the time the 12 tribes held sway over Israel; it's even in the bloody bible (which was penned during the "stay" in Babylon).

@averagejoe1 saidBut you didn’t answer the question either Joe, as per usual 🙄
Libs do not answer questions. I have said that 100 times. Why does no one listen to AvJoe? Why, that is a question as well.
The answer is quite simple
Israel has given / gives the US military a permanent foothold in one of the most strategically important areas of the world. Coupled with the attachment of some Americans to the bible they need the Jews in the ‘Holy Land’ in order to feed their delusions concerning the end times
@vivify saidYes that is exactly why the Roman and Greek myths overlap so heavily.
Okay, I appreciate you clearing that up.

@zahlanzi saidkinda like you and any man that comes by?
american evangelists have wet dreams of the apocalypse
@mott-the-hoople saidHow could a sleeping person know any man is coming by?
kinda like you and any man that comes by?
And you’re so stuck in your incel closet you’ve failed to notice that there’s nothing wrong with being gay.
@athousandyoung saidApparently there was a period where it was called Roman Judea instead of Palestine but not Israel at that time.
