    I wouldn’t include Nice, but I agree with that.

    Israel came in and started an act of war. If it was flipped, news would be screaming about Iran being a warmonger.

      Because Iran IS a war mongering nation. Just because they are the enemy of the people you’re Xenophobic about doesn’t mean they’re the good guys

        Nothing xenophobic about it, unless Ehud Olmert is xenophobic.

        “What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: the indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians. We are doing this not because of an accidental loss of control in a particular sector, not because of a disproportionate outburst of fighters in some unit — but as a result of a policy dictated by the government, knowingly, intentionally, viciously, maliciously, recklessly. Yes, we are committing war crimes.”

        Can the former prime minister of Israel be xenophobic towards Israel?

        What’s xenophobic about not agreeing with how a government is running a country, its people and its wars?

          I guess my biggest issue is watching Americans moralize and try to lead the charge, while me and my people are still waiting for so much as an apology for all the genocide and cultural destruction you guys committed against us

            I’m not American. Not everything is about America ffs.

            Also if you’re a native you’d belong in Gaza or getting bombed in beyruth. What they do to arab is exactly what they did to native american and you know it
