By the way, they also bombed a Catholic Church in Lebanon back in October. The Israel regime loves bombing Catholic churches, I guess.

(13,560 posts)Does Netanyahu and his right-wing genocidal government have a plan to occupy Syria and force all Palestinians to move there or be executed? Their current actions seem to be aimed at destabilizing a government still in its infancy.
Netanyahus goal has long been to remove every Palestinian from Palestine and take all the land for Israel.

And now... Syria, Lebanon, Iran Part II, Concentratiom Camp etc. The sky's the limit.
I hate to say it, but you ain't seen nothin' yet.
