  1. ” Israel ” says, Palestinians are getting better at resistance…
    better?? DUH! they’ve outdone the Israeli Nazis at every turn, literally, the whole time.
    ” Israel ” cannot ever win, they know that. Of course my shady, scummy US government still sends weapons to the baby-killers. I say f#ck ’em. Let them try to survive on their own. They would collapse and never be able to regain what little ground they’ve been able to gain. They suck at everything they do: except murdering children, and being scumbags. They excel at those things.
    To hell with Wasrael.
