Israel is NOT a ‘colonial’ Construct Said 27 Oct 2026
‘Palestine’ is a name the Greeks and Romans imposed on the land of the Kingdom of Israel.
Because the fact is “Palestine” is a completely fabricated place defined by the Greeks based on when they invaded the Kingdom of Israel and then it was appropriated and enforced by the Romans on the area.

The claim that Jews were imposed on the area in 1948 is wholly wrong.
The Free Palestine brigade talk as if Jews had somehow been imposed on the area in 1948 because it suits their anti-colonialist narrative. It is of course wholly wrong.

An early general election would give Burnham a majority of around 50 seats, with Reform UK gaining many seats.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
