Wed Nov 1, 2023, 12:07 PM

Nov 2023

a terrorist organization that is determined to massacre/annihilate every Jewish man, woman, and child... international law only applies to Israel when Hamas beheads Jewish babies, dismembers Jewish children, rapes Jewish women, sets fire to Jewish elderly, slaughters Jewish music festival attendees, kidnaps and tortures children...how dare Israel retaliate when attacked!...but OMG think of the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza...the same poor Palestinians that allowed Hamas to oust the Palestinian Authority and line their pockets with stolen humanitarian aid while they live in poverty..and think of the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza who look the other way as Hamas stockpiles weapons in tunnels under their homes/schools/hospitals/mosques...

fuck "international law"!!!
