People who dare doing this are either wrongfully labeled as       'antisemitic' or 'pro Hamas'. Usually even both in the same sentence.       This is only to distract of is really going on: a genocide and the       creation of a 'Greater Israel', something that Netanyahu, wanted by the       ICC for war crimes, supports.              --       s|b              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
