Now, Hebrew religious tradition is a pastoralist tradition. This is clear as crystal. It was introduced into Canaan by outsiders, because Canaan was an agriculturalist and urban society. I don't get what's so controversial about this. Read Sir James George Frazer's 'Folklore in the Old Testament'. Incidentally, I first read that book in Russian, printed by some Atheist Society they had in teh Soviet Union. So much for your stupid ad hominems about me being some religious nutcase!

And Palestinian is an aglo approximation of a Latin approximation of the greek name of Phillistines. That doesn't mean Phillistines are Palestinians.
English are the result of mix of Anglo-Saxon and Norman population after the Norman conquests.
Your equivalnce of English v Anceint Britons and Canaanites v Israelities was full retardation, especially considering the fact that Hebrews were around when Canaanites were arround. The English weren't around when Ancient Britons were.

Why does the UN opposes to mass evacuations? Its like if they are an impediment to end the conflict, they want to keep pumping food in the besieged areas but then what. They literally want to keep the sieges forever or what?
Lincoln Collins
Also your position that English of today are not the Britons of yesterday etc... as used for Israel (i.e Ashkenazis are not the Ancient Israelites) is essentially the same argument that can be used to justify recent migration into Europe.
In the previous thread you said there was a fallacy. But there isn't. And yes, like I said, leftist Jews have a multikulti agenda in Europe.

Essentially, they feel that if the rebels do not have human shields, they will get BTFO.
This is also the reason that when the government offers free passage to civilians, the rebels threaten to the civilians that they will kill anyone they see leaving.
Not surprisingly, the pro-rebel media ignores this, and calls out for Assad to be punished for harming the civilians the rebels force to remain.

Don't listen to that bullshit Basically the UN doesn't want mass evacuations because they don't trust the regime to not reallocate people of a different sect or simply different families there.
It's not about keeping the siege forever, it's about keeping the families there. Kurdish YPG fighters got the same shit from Amnesty International about evacution of Arabs.

Daniel Gonzalez
You spam up your posts with irrelevancies, so I can only deal with your most glaring idiocies, forgive me:
>>think Arabic is referred to as West Semitic >It's South Semitic. Look, wikipedia isn't the Gospels, but it can usually give a decent overview of basics, at least:
"South Semitic is a disputed branch of the Semitic languages. Semitic itself is a branch of the larger Afro-Asiatic language family found in (Northern and Eastern) Africa and Western Asia.
South Semitic is divided into two uncontroversial branches: South Arabian, on the southern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, and Ethiopian Semitic, found across the Red Sea in the Horn of Africa, mainly in modern Ethiopia and Eritrea."
In other words, you are wrong. But being wrong is no crime. Your sin is that of being arrogantly wrong.
>>Arabic is actually surprisingly close to Hebrew >That's because Hebrew was recontructed using Arabic,
You utter spastic. I gave a pair of words in which the Hebrew is NOT a modern reconstruction, given that the Jews used it in mediaeval Poland. Midrash. It's obviously the same as Madrasa. And such basics as Salaam and Shalom underline the same fact.
Hebrew was actually a pretty strong literary language before Israel was founded. THere were tons of books written in it in the eighteenth and nineteenth centures.
> a dead languaged used only for liturgy. That's untrue, sorry.
>>It was introduced into Canaan by outsider >You have no evidence of that claim.
The humour in this is brought into good relief by the next retort from you:
>>because Canaan was an agriculturalist and urban society >And the Hebrews were Canaanites themselves who rebelled. That claim about Canaanites isn't proof that Hebrews aren't Canaanites.
I can respond to this with "You have no evidence of that claim" and would be far more justified than you were above!
>Outaded. Not an argument! It's merely OLD. Not wrong!
Cameron Peterson
I'm not trying to refute anything you say, because it is my opinion that you are a pestering nuisance who isn't much into a real discussion, but rather is empowered by squabbles.

Austin Ward
For what I read the families will be returned to Daraya after its reconstructed, except for the ones that voluntarily asked to be sent to Idlib. So I don't see any problems with that, other than non trusting Assad to keep his promise.
Yes, I'm thinking something along this lines.

You have no reading comprehension. Those quotes claim South Semitic is a group that includes Arabic.
You have no evidence for the claim that West Semitic includes Arabic.
>I gave a pair of words in which the Hebrew is NOT a modern reconstruction
So Semitic languages share similar words like how Persian shares words with English : Madar/Mother.
According to your stupid, argument, Persian is now Enlgish and vice verca!
>The humour in this is brought into good relief by the next retort from you: This statement is not evidence for your claim that Israelites are outsiders of Canaan.
>You have no evidence of that claim" and would be far more justified than you were above!
The evidence is clear. You have failed to show any for your assertions.
>Not an argument! It's merely OLD. Not wrong!
In science, information is updated. Newer studies, using better archeological methods, show that Israelites are in fact Canaanites and always were.

Al Qaeda is resurgent globally, exploiting American blind spots, and building a popular local vanguard to oversee the transformation of local populations in countries where the state has collapsed. Syria is its current focus. The United States now has little choice but to reorient its strategy in Syria to focus on the threat posed by al Qaeda. >The United States risks losing the war against extremism in Syria if it continues to allow Ahrar al-Sham and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham to be seen by the Syrian people as the victors in Aleppo. Ahrar al-Sham is as much a part of al Qaeda’s long game in Syria as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham. It shares the same goal to shape Syria’s population in a way that facilitates global jihad, and its pragmatic approach advances al Qaeda’s aim to build a durable safe haven in the Levant.

I'm honestly gobsmacked! Look, let me walk you through it again:
"South Semitic is divided into two uncontroversial branches: South Arabian, on the southern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, and Ethiopian Semitic, found across the Red Sea in the Horn of Africa"
You are clearly assuming (on no good grounds!) that "South Arabian" includes Arabic. It doesn't. It includes those obscure Hadhramaut tongues I referred to in the last thread. Look at my map here.
The government has offered free passage to many, perhaps it could expand that program.
Jose Flores
Well many of them probably think they're going to get heavily punished for rebelling or being part of the area of rebellion. So they don't have much choice other than fight until the government is serious about a deal.
Of course this is good for government to stop sieging as it frees its troops to be used in another front.
Samuel Young
He does seem to love that book. it's like he hasnt read anything else but is now convinced of everything it says. How many times is it that he mentioned it including the last thread? 6 times?
Wyatt Gonzalez
Thats another possibility, the problem would be the same though. There is no way to make sure the families will be allowed to return to their homes after the pocket is cleared.
Yes, you are right about this. But the UN should be proposing some guidelines for amnesty/surrender or ask to get involved in such negotiations, not just blaming the government and proposing nothing. Well its not like UN has much power anyway.
Parker Sanders
The Arabic wiki claims South Arabian is a form of Arabic.
The evidence is clear for anyone to see. But of course your understanding of archeological patterns are non-existent, so you try to lessen the cognitive dissonance you have in face of facts.
It's relevant to the discussion and the best book written about the subject, according to many experts.
Ayden Rodriguez
>There is no way to make sure the families will be allowed to return to their homes after the pocket is cleared. Thing is, there is no reason for the government to prevent them from returning after the rebels have been cleared out and the place de-mined.
The only group(s) who have attempted religious or ethnic cleansing in Syria are the rebels and to a lesser degree, the Kurds.
Ryder Nelson
The UN is incompetent though. I agree with their assessment but they are quite useless at doing anything they set out to do.
Also as an orginization, they are deisgned to be as politically correct as possible.
Bullshit. The Assad regime tried to ethnically cleansed the Kurds by surpressing (Arabizing) their language and identies for decades now. Kurds for the most part still do not have citizenship in Syria, unlike other groups.

>The Assad regime tried to ethnically cleansed the Kurds by surpressing (Arabizing) their language and identies for decades now.

Nicholas Wood

It's no different to what Turkey is doing, and better in some respects. After all, the main reason for Kurdish repression in every nation they are in is their constant secession attempts.

Actually, I used to argue with this American conservatism and like you I was ignorant to claim that Israelis are modern migrants, etc... But since I'm not an idiot like you, I learned and changed my point of view.

Nope. Since South Arabian is seen by Arabs as the original Arabic (or closest to).
I'll admit that I had a hidden premise in my reply. Again, I did underestimate your stupidity. But also, hidden premises are not acceptable (I'll let you look up what a premise is).
What Ad Hominem did I commit? Calling you a filthy Arab or a awnnabe Arab isn't an Adhominem, since I still adressed any "argument" you apparently put forward.
Not all insults are Ad Hominem. Again, feelings do not trump facts.

Europeans invented scientific linguistics. Arabs never gave a shit about it until they saw something of USE to them in it. And their silly notions about the origins of their language are irrelevant. Anyone with eyes in his head can see that the Mehri and so on are very different from Arabic, which is far closer to Hebrew and Aramaic (which three make up the WEST Semitic branch, with Assyrian/Babylonian/Akkadian making up the East Semitic one). Look at 1-10 in the languages:
