Are you serious?? Wake up!!!
What about Hamas breaking into Israel and murdering 1400 of our people. Raping and harming women. Burning babies in the mothers ovens. If you were here and saw what we did..you would understand. Hamas are terrorists and need to be dealt with so the people of Gaza and my own people can be safe. And what about our Hostages. Get a life …this is a wicked thing to accuse us of. We are after Hamas only. So why not scream at them. Your sick

  We are only stating facts.
  1. The death toll on Israel side has been revised to 1200. (https://www.npr.org/2023/11/11/1212458974/israel-revises-death-toll-hamas-attacks-oct-7)
  2. Israeli strikes have killed more than 11,000 people in the territory since the war broke out. (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/12/world/middleeast/israel-death-toll-hamas-attack.html)
  3. A child killed on average every 10 minutes in Gaza, says WHO chief (https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/child-killed-average-every-10-minutes-gaza-says-who-chief-2023-11-10/)
  3. “Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. (https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/)
  So based on the above stated fats, humanity can clearly see who is the wicked and sick here.

  Israel is an illegal occupying force that has stolen and continues to steal Palestinian land, bombs hospitals, school skills civilian women and children and has been doing so for 75 years. As for the hostages taken on 7 Oct how many children from Gaza were forcefully and brutally taken by Israeli security from their homes? Kidnapping of kids. If the Zionist state is only after Hamas why the indiscriminate bombing and total destruction of property, cutting off of water (a basic human Right) food, electricity (so that hospitals can’t function.
  Know the indoctrination has totally taken hold where your cognitive dissonance is glaring clear.
  As for sick, set up an appointment with Gabor Mate a real Jewish psychiatrist who stayed in Israel to check out the level of your mental illness

According to the New Testament Jesus called the Jews as Serpents:
“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” (Matthew 23:33)
Even according to their own Scriptures Moses has cursed them:
“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee: cursed shalt thou be in the city and cursed shalt thou be in the field, cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out” (Deuteronomy 28:15–19)

What a hypothetical and evil of those who are saying ISRAELITES has committed human rights vilotations? What right has the Demonic hypocrites evil Russia to call Israelites has caused human rights vilotations? When you Russia invaded a souvrign Nation Ukraine. The UN secretary-general must resign immediately, after supporting Hamas Terriosts group, everything indicates he the Secretary General is Terrorist himself, because he who supports human beings, hospitals, kingdedens as a Terriosts lunching grounds and been used as human shields is totally evil ??. Now that the Whole World have seen the dangerous and the evils of the body of the United Nations? Is very very disgraceful and disheartening. What a shame. Everyone, who supported the atrocities and the inhuman of the Hamas Terriosts group to the Israelites on 7th October 2023 must resign immediately. This UN bodies is being manned by,Terriorit groups. They don’t represent the Civilized World ?. My message to the Israelites and their Military, and the Government is do whatever it takes to wipe out Hamas Terriosts group and every Terrorist group, that they deem being threatening to the Israelites. God Almighty bless Israelites Amen ? and Amenoooooh ?
