        Veto on the letter. Too strong, and I don’t like the font.

        - the US, every time

            The US has sent around 14 billion dollars to Israel on top of the 3.8 we send every year. With Israel claiming 15,899 killed and Palestine claiming 22,835, we recieve a dollar to kill ratio of 1.1 million to 779k per palestinian. The US had a 10 million per Iraqi ratio after the conclusion of the Iraq war. Ukraine has recieve 46.3 billion dollars in military aid. With around 100k dead russians we are getting a kill every 463k per Russian ratio.

          They’ve already gotten one from the South African government. Though they did say they disagree with the letter, so, they should be good

    The video just looks like a guy getting arrested. Is there another angle showing the soldiers using him as a shield?

      Arrested without some sort of cuffs and being walked around with a rifle resting on his shoulder? I don’t know, doesn’t look like an arrest for me.

      The video shows them pointing the gun over his shoulder. He also was interviewed after, so if he was arrested, he was let go immediately after.

    Oh the irony, if only innocent people weren’t at the end of this .

    Every accusation by Israelis is a confession

    Removed under rule 1, this is not an article, it’s a video link. The bare paragraph below the video is a caption, not an article.
