  • Where do you get the 300,000 figure?

    A quick read through Wikipedia showed significantly lower number.

    Prior to the Muslim conquest of Palestine (635–640), Palaestina Prima had a population of 700,000, of which around 100,000 were Jews and 30-80,000 were Samaritans,[67] with the remainder being Chalcedonian and Miaphysite Christians.[5][68][69]

    The pace of conversion to Islam among the Christian, Jewish, and Samaritan communities in Palestine varied during the early period (638–1098),[70] and opinions vary regarding the extent of Islamization during the early Islamic period.[71] While some argue Palestine was already majority Muslim by the time of arrival of the First Crusade, others contend that Christians were still in the majority and the process of mass adoption of Islam took place only from the 13th century onwards, during the Mamluk period.[71]


  • that’s is basically Israel strategy. Don’t know on what ground you’re getting downvoted.

    Israel wants to involve the US into the conflict, to create the perceptive diversion when it moves into Rafah and continue towards their goals. However, Iran took the necessary steps, e.g. informing the US in advance their course of actions, so that the US won’t be forced into the conflict.

    That’s basically what happened. The US keep themselves out, Iran gets to retaliate while keeping a distance from the US, and Israel will be on their own should it moves forward to Rafah.









  • The problem is not the server. One of the reasons is because lemmy world is being DDoS attacked by certain party with grudges. Because lemmy is not used to this kind of attack, which is made difficult by way it is designed and open source nature where the attacker can easily uncover vulnerabilities, it took some times and learning to mitigate them. You can open new account in other instances or move if that’s too much inconvenience for you. No one is stopping you.
