We already know you refuse to even acknowledge the atrocities that Israel have committed against Palestinians & even the British. So why bother?
February 26, 2025 at 5:16 PM
No point educating a zionist who believes in genocide an entire people. You've got about 2 braincells so there is no point trying to humanise an issue when you've already decided all Palestinians should die.
February 26, 2025 at 5:15 PM
& you're an uneducated zionist who will have it remembered forever, digitally, that you supported a genocide.
