Gaza is becoming a graveyard without the luxury of graves. Yousef Aljamal writes about how his heart freezes every day as he reads of the disappearances of his neighbors, friends, and family in the violence brought by Israel.

Uncle Tom (Barrack) is originally from Lebanon. Which makes sense because only a self-hating Arab could address Arabs with venomous disdain that outdoes that of his racist masters. Allah yerhamek ya Helen Thomas. She would have mopped the floor with him.

Marco Rubio’s stance aligns with the majority of Israelis. Enough of this “right wing” lie. Israeli society is comfortably supremacist against Palestinians. They can smell the smoke of Palestinians across the border burning to death for 20 months & have largely done nothing but cheer & enable it.

Zionists are screaming "You're either with us or with Hamas" while Israelis are openly saying that Palestinian babies should be murdered. m.maariv.co.il/news/politic...

משה פייגלין בערוץ 14: "כל תינוק בעזה הוא אויב"
משה פייגלין התראיין לערוץ 14 וטען שכל תינוק בעזה הוא אויב, ושעל ישראל לכבוש וליישב את עזה. אמירה זו מגיעה על רקע אמירתו של יאיר גולן, לפיה מדינה שפויה לא הורגת תינוקות כתחביב

Can you imagine Americans facing an ongoing violent disaster and having the clarity of mind to communicate calmly in a foreign language with others around the world to ask for help? I cannot. The entitlement and racism of people FUNDING AND ENABLING this horror reaches new lows every day.

I can't tell you how angry it makes me that these guys had to make this video because some assholes are on here declaring, with no evidence or even reasoning at all, that they're running some kind of scam. If you can't help the people of Gaza, then just. leave them. alone.

"Bring her leg... bring her leg..." A Palestinian man pleads with another to gather the scattered remains of a martyr ,a woman killed in the brutal Israeli airstrike on tents sheltering displaced families Khan Younis. Even in death, they deny us dignity. This is not war. This is Genocide #WarCrimes
