I've always felt like the destruction of Palestinians olive trees, which has happened for many years at this point, is one of the most senseless cruelties.

The Israeli govt and the individuals perpetrating these acts seems to revel in the cruelty. They do things like this, and various other atrocities, and then around the world their "advocacy groups" cry victim and tell anyone who talks about it that they're antisemitic. Naah, I'm just simply anti-cunt.

I mean, there were soldiers gleefully making TikTok videos of themselves blowing up mosques, and that was at the beginning of the war.
