42. Look what you made us do" is the mentality of abusers & psychopaths.

Thursday

The claim that Hamas is responsible not only for its own atrocities but also every atrocity committed by Israel has to be the most disingenuous and morally bankrupt talking points of this whole horrific episode.

Israel is the occupying force. A brutal settler, colonial, apartheid regime on course of becoming a pariah state for genocide, collective punishment and the butchering of thousands of children.
Cope.
