If you could erase 1 event from history, which would it be and how do you think the world would be different?

Signing the Balfour Declaration in 1917, promising the creation of a Jewish "homeland" in Palestine.

The people who lived in Palestine were never consulted or even considered.

There were close to 700,000 Muslims, Christians and Jews living there in harmony with modern cities, fishing fleets, thriving agriculture and industry. To put that in perspective, there were just over 103 million people in the U. S., which was over 400x the size of Palestine. In other words, Palestine was over 2.7x more densely populated than the U. S.

Israel was never about the "holocaust". It was a British colonial project in collaboration with the Rothschilds. And there was a racist motive, as well.

The Zionists from eastern Europe, who began arriving there in the 1930s, introduced terrorism. From the beginning, they intended to displace the population, not live in harmony as neighbors.

Up to 15,000 unarmed Palestinians were brutally murdered and over 750,000 were driven from their homes by Zionist terrorist gangs in 1948 alone.
That program continues to this very day.

If Israel had not been established by colonial barbarians, countless deaths, unspeakable suffering, and immeasurable destruction would not of occurred. History and culture would have been preserved. Muslims, Christians and Jews would have continued to live side by side as friends and neighbors. Tourism to the Holy Land would have continued to prosper. And there would be no terrorism.

[NoDecision]

Would it make you feel better knowing that 6 million Jews were murdered during WWII? I guess they are trying to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Lliam]

@NoDecision. The Balfour Declaration was signed in 1917, way before Nazis came to power. So what was the excuse?
Yiddish Colonists from Eastern Europe began arriving in Palestine as early as the 1930s but they separated themselves from the people who already lived there. They acted like colonists, not good neighbors.
Palestinians initially embraced and assisted Jewish refugees. Why did the colonists turn around, drive the Palestinian inhabitants out and steal their homes and land.
After 1945, the danger to Jews in Europe was over. Many returned to their homes. There was no more need for a "homeland".
Why do Israelis behave far worse than Nazis?

[NoDecision]

I can't excuse anyone's behavior. That land was given to the Jews by God as their "promised land" over 2,000 years ago. They were ordered by God to drive out all the tribes that occupied "Their gifted land" such as the Hittites and Amorites. I'm sure the Philistines and Goliath were also included. Jerusalem, the Jews holy city, was built a long time ago and destroyed. The Jews were then taken into captivity and passed around as slaves. They finally busted out of Egypt with Moses and wandered in the desert for 40 years. Then they get spread all over the world once again. In 1948 they reclaimed their land. And they have been there ever since. Do you think that such a small nation would be able to kick all their attackers' asses, such as Egypt and Syria, who sneak attacked them twice, without God's help?

[Lliam]

@NoDecision. Complete mythology that has been disproved even by Jewish scholars.

[NoDecision]

Well, there is one way you will ever know for sure.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

I will erase
Ribentrop - Molotov pact. Germany and USSR will forever be suspicios one on another and East Europe may had not been invaded, but remain in an insecure and alert position and baybe communism will had not spred in East Europe and Nazy Germany will had not risk the East Europe to allied with USSR in case Germany will had invade anyway. USSR eaknes remain more misterious.

[Simslover92]

The holocaust. So many poor innocent Jews died in that. I think it would have certainly made the world a better place if it hadn't happened and we would've had more Jews in the world.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Then why not the German-USSR pact?
Will had save even the life of milions of Eastern and Western Europeans.

[KimmySchmit]

6 million jews and 5 million non jews. The non jews get forgotten about

[Alexandrubaschet08]

@KimmySchmit in WW2 die around 70 millions people, witch around 6 millions in the specific event of the holocaust.
The german-USSR pact is the key.

[KimmySchmit]

@Alexandrubaschet08 there were 11 million on the death camps, 6 million were jews.
The German-USSR pact being deleted may have not changed anything. Especially in regards to the fate of those in the Holocaust. If you want to change anything, then change the French standing back in 1939 while the entire German army was in Poland instead of invading Germany.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

@KimmySchmit If you delete the pact, Germany will not invade Poland widow the safety of USSR.
WW2 started because of the Ribbentrop - Molotov Pact and it drag even East Europe in it.
You will not have Poland invasion.
No Winter War.
No Baltic states anexed.
No Romania invasion and later deathly hostility from it.
You will not need to make concentration camps and all Jews can run out of Germany.
France and UK have more time to prepare seen Germany rise. (because germany develop with the help of USSR because of that pact as well).

[FreyaRed]

I would want to kill young Lucy 3,2 million years ago. It wouldn't very likely prevent humanity for appearing but it could and the risk to try is tempting.

[Agape93]

Oooo good one

[RandomGirl42]

I see your reasoning but the Annunaki would've just figured out something else.

[AviatorTom]

I wouldn't erase anything from history, since that would change the timeline, and leave us with unexpected consequences.

If I were forced to pick one event, it would be the birth of the person forcing me to pick one. Just think about that time paradox. 😐

[exitseven]

The attack on the World Trade Center. We would not be so paranoid and airline travel would not be such a pain in the ass.

[BonzoInBitburg]

That's a good one. So many things changed after that day and not in a good way.

[strateguy632]

one not mentioned yet here is hiroshima. if i could prevent the atom bomb democrat truman used and we would use troops in china to attack the industry in manchuria province, then japan would have surrendered in 1942.

[Kelley1]

The election of President Lincoln. There would have been no war between the states. The world would be far better off without the hundred million people murdered buy the USA.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Instead of erasing an event, why not add an awareness to one that isn’t usually discussed? Like the US’s role in several hundred international bloody coups.

[KostasKouvalis]

9/11. Air travel would be fun and stress free again, and the Muslims would still be allies of Republicans and I think there would be less tension between Muslims and the West.

[RandomGirl42]

The sinking of Atlantis. I'm not exactly sure how the world be different now but I'm sure it would be.

[ilistengood]

Well for sure thered be another continent

[msg321]

It is not an event. It is a phenomenon but I would erase slavery. I still can't understand how an human can do this to another human being. by the way when you look at the Epstein files you can understand that slavery still exists.

[Drumlin2001]

I bought some raspberrys yesterday on sale, they are mostly rotten today. I'd go back and not buy them.

[captain_voidwalker]

Pearl harbor. Then america whluld have stayed out of world War 2 and Europe would be a bunch of angry Germans instead of the gaggle of pussies they are now.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

You may had also the Spanish, Italian and Romanians more stronger.
But nice to think that maybe USSR will had fall 100%

[AngryCarl3]

@captain_voidwalker Maybe Europe wouldn't be so much different than it is now. Spain ditched their dictator and developed a democracy, Germany could have done the same.

[AngryCarl3]

I'd erase the American War of Independence. America would still be a British colony paying taxes to the Crown.

[strateguy632]

you are consistent i respect that!

[Bricealan]

@MontBlanc Perhaps the Civil War, but maybe would have left us a divided country.

[Mike_Hum]

I would have the assassin miss Arch Duke Ferdinand.

[Vegasrunner]

Slavery. Then back people would have a fair opportunity to compete on a level playing field in America.

[loveslongnails]

White Europeans discovering what is now the USA.

[TonyMetal___86]

Feminism, the whole world will become a better place for everyone!

[BrittneyHl]

I don't think that's fair for everyone

[TonyMetal___86]

@BrittneyHl it's fair when a woman gets her rights without revenge, her real rights and not excessive rights...

[BrittneyHl]

Yeah I think fair rights are good

[TonyMetal___86]

@BrittneyHl men and women should of had equal rights since the beginning of the time because both are humans, men and women were created to complete each other, support each other and love each othe, not the opposite way around...

P. S: same rights doesn't mean same roles, a man is a man and a woman is a woman...

[Anonymous]

Crucifixion of Jesus. Then Christianity wouldn't be a thing

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Unfortunatly that is beyond your power.
God/Jesus will oppose it.

[Opinion Owner]

Jesus would be dead and God couldn't even stop a woman from eating an apple

[Alexandrubaschet08]

God was not guarding the tree.
God put the one and only rule and let the man be free on he decision, because God is love.

Jesus come back to like in 3 days and that one is unstopable.

[Opinion Owner]

So an all powerful, all present and all knowing being can't stop a bitch from eating a fruit? And somehow all love when he punishes humans for thousands of years, because the first two ate fruit he left in the garden for some reason?

Funny how the ONLY ones claiming he came back, are the same ones who weren't even there.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

God does not keep us on a leash like a dog!
Like a parent who cares for his child, said not to eat the apple, even though he looked at us and we at the apple, the child/we still decided to eat.
And so the parent teaches us that there are consequences.
The great unknown that neither you nor I know is, when and how it will all end?
And also why did it all happen this way.
We, like the child who bears the consequences for disobeying the parent, do not understand why it was so important not to eat from a simple magic apple, that being the only rule set.
We believe that nothing happens, that there is a truth hidden behind the rules, that even if we did a stupid thing or we cannot escape without being responsible for our actions.
God demonstrates that there is cause and effect and it remains for us to wait for the final result of this great plan.

[Opinion Owner]

Sounds an awful lot like excuses you're spewing

[Alexandrubaschet08]

I know that you and many others want a God who will glorify you, not you him.
Although everything that exists is his creation, and nothing is ours.

You want a god who will keep you on a leash and tell you exactly what you are not allowed to do, like a dog.
At that moment, we are no longer free, God is no longer benevolent because he restricts you, and leads in his name.

So from then until now it is everyone's choice whether to worship him or not.

You do or do not do what he says.
You listen to him or you look for another (who does not exist).

It is like being lost in a labyrinth, he calls you on the right path, but you want to go as you want and end up in places you did not want.

You are free and God in that way is good.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

He knows you are stubborn, that you want to prove your own action, but God does not stop you.
He tells you where to go to get to him, although he knows that you want to do it your way, although it is not always good.
It is not an excuse, it is the same as a gentle parent-child relationship.

[Anonymous]

Probably snitched on Moses to the Pharos


The rest of history would be a kinder place

[LC75LC71]

The creation of Earth. Is there any other "intelligent" life out there?

[Anonymous]

Feminists. The world would be in a much better place as far as society goes.

[NoDecision]

The birth of Adolf Hitler.

[abc3643]

The birth of Muhammad.

[Dargil]

The Vietnam war, the Holocaust.

[MrChinaski]

The Big Bang. The world would not be.

[Kelly6]

@MontBlanc Define event?

[Anonymous]

Probably something personal...

[Asker]

True, sometimes our own past feels like the biggest ‘history’ we wish we could rewrite.

But, do you think removing it would make life better, or just different?

[Opinion Owner]

I think it would be much better.

[Asker]

I can understand that feeling.

Some events really change our lives in ways we never asked for.

If you’re comfortable sharing, what kind of event was it?

[Asker]

Sometimes the moments we wish we could erase are the ones that leave the deepest scars on our hearts, the kind that quietly shape who we become and how we see the world.

And honestly, no one should have to carry that kind of weight alone.

[Opinion Owner]

Well, there were several of such events, but let's say that some of them were related to unrequited love.

[Asker]

Unrequited love can leave some of the deepest scars.

Loving someone with all your heart and realizing the feeling isn’t returned can be incredibly painful.

Experiences like that can quietly shape how we see love, trust, and even ourselves.

I’m really sorry you had to go through something like that.

[Opinion Owner]

You are right, that's exactly what it feels like. Thank you for understanding.

[Asker]

You’re welcome.. 😊

Sometimes the deepest wounds are the ones we carry quietly inside, the kind that shape how we love, how we trust, and how we see ourselves.

I’m really glad you felt understood, even if just for a moment.

I truly hope that with time, life has been a little kinder and gentler with your heart.

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks, I hope so too :)

[Asker]

I truly hope it does.

Sometimes life leads us through painful chapters before it guides us to the love and peace our hearts deserve.

Please cheer up and never lose hope. God bless you.

I’ve always believed that when 2 people are truly meant for each other, life has its own quiet way of bringing them back together sooner or later.

And when someone is not meant to stay, no matter how tightly we try to hold on, they may still slip from our hands.

So keep your faith, I believe God will one day place the right person in your life, someone who will love you in the way your heart truly deserves. 😊
