Comments like this show how incredibly ignorant the hardcore right is. Not only did Israel already exist in 1949, having existed since 1948, it was always from the very beginning anti-Soviet and anti-communist (mainly because Stalin was a dick to Jews). The literal same US Republicans who wanted to flatten the whole commie bloc were allies of Israel. Look up Buckley's views on the region. Goldwater literally was half-Jewish and he got the 1964 nomination.

As always, the situation was more complex. The Zionists during the 30s began to grow impatient with Britain's timetable for Israel's independence, and many Arab leaders were pro-British. Stalin wanted to piss off the British and had some uneasy support for Zionis. He even used puppet states to send weapons to Israel. The fact that enough Yanks and Soviets wanted Israel to become their puppet state is probably why Israel was granted membership as early as it did, without as much recognition from other countries as it had, without fulfilling as many requirements of UN membership as it was given.

gets invaded by multiple superpowers who flood in all their resources and wealth from being parasites around the globe for thousands of years.

The Arabs invaded the Levant in 634. However, there was no "palestinian" identity beyond military districts declared by ruling Arabs in distant centers of power, while the people there just fought in tribal feuds with each other.
It was ruled by Arabs until 1516 when it was conquered by Ottoman Turks.
It wasn't under Arab rule again until a totally-grassroots uprising in WWI led by Heshmites with French gold and British weaponry outlasted the Turk occupation, ending around 1920.

The Palestinians had 28 years as an independent state, then fucking lost it on back-to-back repeating military failures against Israel, the first three with broad coalitions of Arab state actors supporting them, the rest random derka-derka chimpouts with even Jordan and Egypt not bothering to back up their dumb asses (including one time where they chimped out and tried to take over Jordan, so the Heshmites too had to kill a bunch of palestinian tards)

Palestine is just under three decades older than Israel and equally as made-up, the only difference is Israel can actually fucking win a damn war.
Palestine is easily one of, if not the, dumbest and lamest fucking nations on the planet.

Palestine was a British mandate between WW1 and WW2. It has literally never existed as an independent unified country, with Israel declaring independence from the British mandate in 1948 since Britain promised Israel to the Jews under the Balfour declaration. If Palestine had actually got independence it would probably be like neighbouring Egypt/Jordan/Syria.

Technically the Palestinians "recieved" independence along Israel (getting some of the best areas), but they did not "accept" it and preferred to chimp out to try get everything. The rest is history.

Hence why I said unified. The UN proposal for dividing the land failed at once and the disorganised Arab coalition fell apart, partly because Israel was able to secure an ironic shipment of ex-Nazi weapons from Czechoslovakia and partly because the Arabic forces were very poorly coordinated. Having people like King "Ban All Red Cars" Farouk in charge didn't help.
 
Ok, this made me laugh.

Apocalypse how?
Demons reading stories to children in libraries might be better sign of the end times than balmy weather.
They too will frequently revise the projected date of doomsday...


edit: not a bad one per se but I didn't laugh or even smile at this one. Its a trite observation done a thousand times before.

The problem with the comic is that it's a pretty tired meme by now that's usually done more aptly with smug/calart wojack.
It's also not a great comparison, maybe people thought climate change was a real threat a decade ago, but by now it's just a method of justifying removing civil liberties and convincing people to buy new shit for asspats.
