yes the attack was wrong. But I also wonder how long palestinians can live in an open air prison without lashing out. The authorities are terrorists and the people just tryin to get through the day suffer and die. Bibi is a.... It must stop. DAMMIT. JUST FUCKING STOP.

When I used to awaken on Sunday mornings and see live coverage of post-Shabbat cafe bombings and the killing and grotesque life-changing mutilation of civilians having a drink or a coffee, I wondered how long it would take for the population to become intolerant of these circumstances such that the country would do what Israel has now done and the nature of the government which they elected.

Now those in Gaza are going to find out what occurs when a sleeping giant is awakened.

have been for the Zionists to have started to treat their Christian and Muslim neighbors as they, themselves, wish to be treated? Isn't it better to remove the conditions for war than to wage war?

But will Biden respond to this civil war by sending weapons to Israel?

Humanitarian aid to both sides through an impartial medium would be better.
