Good question. Chuuku Davis Oct 2023 #49

Fair point, but the UN has put their stamp on the claim al bupp Oct 2023 #4

Hamas caused Hamas to attack on October 7th? AntivaxHunters Oct 2023 #59

Nope. No justification for something almost 10 years ago. jimfields33 Oct 2023 #62

Of course there's not justification AntivaxHunters Oct 2023 #63
