To launch my blue sky:
یہ گمبد مینائ یہ عالم تنہائ …بھٹکا ہوا راہی تو ، بھٹکا ہوا راہی میں
منزل ہے کہاں تیری اے لالہ صحرائ
This blue sky-dome, this lonely world
you are a lost wayfarer, and so am I,
Where is your destination, oh poppy of the desert?

The age old line of the Zionists, always parroted by the liberal media in the West - Arab existence is branded an existential threat to Israel. Always used to manufacture consent for genocide.
If their existence is an existential threat, then genocide becomes “self defence”
