93. If there is no genocide,
Sat Jan 18, 2025, 09:25 PM
Jan 2025

Then why did they cut of the things like water. You can go how many days without food, but how long can a body go without it? About 3 days depending on the condition of your body. How about electricity. How do you cook, how do you tell your 3 year sorry, you won't eat today. And how do feel when you have no heat and you wake up and your newborn is dead because it froze to death because there are 8 newborns that died that way. How do you live in tents made of cloth because rain get thru cloth so everything is soaked. But what really irks me is when you destroy and everything in it is hospitals. Don't anyone tell me that we're terrorists hiding there. Why didn't you go after them and let the patients alone and not send them out half naked walk to another. If your not committed to genocide, why not protect the innocent if your goal to get rid of hamas? Now you may say that hamas stole it and that may be true to extent, but not completely. Do you know that a commander told his unit to destroy all the humanitarian aid in trucks that they find. Why would you do that to hungry children.

And why has Israel set up a luxurious spa for their soldiers because they need help recovering from the war. A lot of their soldiers have PTSD. Why, because they have seen and have been thur. Just like our soldiers when they came home from Vietnam, and Iraq.

Why do you think Netanyaho doesn't want journalts in Gaza, especially if they are Palestinians. Why do think the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz has been telling the truth about what is going on in Gaza and that's why Netanyaho has not liked the paper because of Haaretz
