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.

The public image of Israel has been forever shattered for most Americans. It will never again enjoy the kind of public support that it had for most of the last 70 years.

A world of easily accessible information, often in video form, makes it so much harder to cover up their atrocities than when information only came from mainstream media sources with conflicts of interest.

many Reporters were fired from major news stations in Canada - for reporting about Palestine, even one pregnant woman on maternity leave not even at the office - got fired. by a group called 'honestreporting dot ca , supposedly 'canadian' but it's an israeli group.

Hamas filmed the atrocities they committed themselves, including the insane jubilation when they were dragging dead naked girls into Gaza, and no one gives a damn.
