Sadly unsurprising. Israel doesn't interact with international institutions in good faith.

I took over the community because it was unmoderated but already active, but I'm not a fan of the 'x-porn' name. In any case, this is just a place for historical photographs of interest.

Explanation: As the Roman Empire was an absolute juggernaut who reshaped the face of history, and especially European history, the number of countries who have claimed to be the TRUE successor of the Empire of old is... extensive.

WE MUST CONSULT THE SACRED CHICKENS in c/HistoryMemes@kbin.social
[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Explanation: The Romans were quite fond of omens of various kinds - one of the more popular variants being whether chickens (or other poultry) would eat before an important decision was made. If the chickens would eat - it was a positive omen - if they would not, or ate only reluctantly, it was an ill omen.
