We already know you refuse to even acknowledge the atrocities that Israel have committed against Palestinians & even the British. So why bother?

No point educating a zionist who believes in genocide an entire people. You've got about 2 braincells so there is no point trying to humanise an issue when you've already decided all Palestinians should die.

26.02.2025 17:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

& you're an uneducated zionist who will have it remembered forever, digitally, that you supported a genocide.

Gaza is palestine, West bank is palestine.

There is a reason that Israel don't let their citizens do DNA tests sweetheart ๐Ÿ˜˜

Israel do all those. Israel is currently breaking the ceasefire right now. & they are & have admitted to wanting to wipe out Palestinians & to get rid of gaza, specifically. That is, by legal and moral definition, ethnic cleansing & genocide. But again, thick as pig shit

Palestinians in the west bank are waking up every day having their homes stolen & being replaced by an American zionist family.

We are not talking about a country once being named judea before Christianity even existed. We are talking about a country, where current generations are being ethnically cleansed due to a CURRENT settler colonisation effort & forced explosion of their own homes & land.
