  1. Oh well, 3 Israeli savages in the IDF were killed. They shoot children…get over it.
    But, the ones who committed suicide? That is on Nazinyahu, Katz, Gvir, Smotrich, Gallant, Herzog…all the Israeli Nazis. And it’s on the other side of the government too, because they’ve done nothing to stop them. And they’ll blame those suicides on Hamas, and October 7th, which was definitely a false flag…
    The majority of Israelis are shady, scummy people who prefer watching Gazans; mostly women and children being killed, rather than try for peace.
    Prove me wrong…
