    LOL, wow. I don’t even know where to begin with this crap.

    Yes, I am an Israel supporter. That makes me biased towards Israel. Just like your hatred for Israel makes you biased against Israel. See how that works?

    And you’re right, it didn’t start on Oct 7, 2023. It didn’t even start in 1948. It started decades before that, when Arabs began violently resisting Jewish immigration spurred on by the violently antisemitic and Nazi-sympathizer Amin Al-Husseini. But I suspect that you actually know every little about the history, like most Israel haters.

    What did you do to generate that ridiculous list of links, Google “Bad things Israel has done”?

    I like your list of “massacres” too. Notice how the vast majority of them occurred in 1947 and 1948, during war started by the Arabs. Most of them are just battles in which civilians died, but the Palestinian propaganda machine attaches the word “massacre” to every single one for dramatic effect. I can play that game with actual massacres, going back centuries before your list.

      Since you cannot stay polite, didn’t give the particular source about your claim of Gaza Civilians and do not give sources about your new claims. Our debate ends here. You can keep commenting but I refuse to after this one.
