The whole hide and seek about #Trump and #Epstein seems enough proof that they have a skeleton in the closet. Just open the closet. Should be no problem if there is no skeleton inside.

Generations of Israelis will suffer for many decades until they may eventually get over these crimes. Thank for the courage for this video.

It is not only a disgrace for the medical community not to speak out loudly against these crimes committed by the Israeli government, but also for all Jews around the world who remain silent in the face of these crimes.

This is long needed. Israel needs to be excluded from all European competitions and stages - overall it is not even an European country nor does it behave like one.

Unfortunately, this is so typical for Israel. They are trying so hard to kill any critique often before it is even published. A common pattern is also to call all critics "antisemitic". You Israelis should all be ashamed for not speaking up.

Why worry, I better fly.

I worry about my US friends. 🇺🇸 has become a complacent, unreliable partner, but you elected him.

MAGA the hope - dictatorship, loss of freedom of speech, and tariffs in exchange. Makes me truly sad, but..

Why worry, I can still fly here

When are our political leaders ready to stop and punish Israel? Israel must be banned from all European competitions and from all trade until they build an independent state of Palestine and pay war reparations.

The next generations of Jewsh will have to live with this guilt as did the Germans after World War 2. The majority of Jewsh is still silent and mutually supports the genocide. Shame on you. At least there is some light also in Israel.

I love the beeping.

Accoustic signals play an important role in my life.

Beeping in the ICU = my patient has a heartbeat = alive

Beeping in the air while flying = I am climbing

Beeping IS GOOD

What are your favorite beeps?

Thanky you for this opinion.

„Showing images of Palestinian children ripped apart by U.S.-made bombs launched by Israeli pilots is, in this view, an antisemitic act“
