Fox was reporting on a boycott, not creating it. You could sooner sue Instagram or Facebook for hosting content that promoted/organized a boycott, but if you want to side with a multi billion dollar corporation trying to make boycotting illegal/financially ruinous for a consumer, that seems rather fascist. And I’m gay and not trying to justify whatever, but I don’t necessarily want to see the concept of a boycott become illegal lol, that’s not very progressive. You can’t force people to buy your product.

One was a global trade empire with colonies across the Mediterranean as far as present-day Gibraltar. The other was a desert backwater. The Temple of Solomon was built by the Tyrian king Hiram, Tyre and Sidon being the major cities of Phoenicia, or Canaan.

Me thinks you’ve watched too many armchair historian videos, actually. Carthage didn’t “cease to exist” lol what, you think the land was actually “salted”? Carthage became one of the largest cities in the Roman Empire, then became the capital of the Vandal Kingdom who later sacked Rome, famously.

More controversially, note that Phoenicia invented the alphabet, had the first maritime global trade empire, colonized Europe in the 13th century BC, and Punic dynasties eventually sat on the Roman throne despite losing the Punic wars ostensibly, with one such Severan emperor dismantling the Pantheon of Jupiter. You can also trace Byzantine dynasties back eastward and later empires too have this connection through dynasties like the Komnenos. So those conspiracy theories claiming Jewish world domination are all rather quaint when you consider that Israel was just a backwater in the classical era and antiquity and it was actually Phoenician merchants who were kingmakers in Babylon and Egypt (due to their control of the Cedars of the Gods which were crucial lumber products for shipbuilding) and would later snowball with their holdings and power as time progressed, or maybe they conveniently fell into obscurity :^)

Some scientists suggest that schizophrenia is the human equivalent of domestication syndrome. Autism is also seen as a type of anti/counter domestication syndrome.
