I've visited Israel a number of times since the 1900s and can confidently say that this is not new. Israeli parents have always taught their kids to shit on Palestinians.
@thefartographer so you are over 100 years old?
I believe my first trip was in '97, when I was in elementary school. Nearly 30 years ago, but still in the 1900s, which means I get to embrace the ambiguity.
I considered saying "since the turn of the century," but that seems to have real meaning to most readers, regardless of the context.
@thefartographer
That is the weirdest thing I've ever read.
Referring to 97 as in 1900s? Who are you? On years old?
Idk... Kinda an odd stance to debate whether 1997 was in the 1900s.
It’s not like my joke was even all that original...
