27. Yes,.. But aren't expressions of concern, caring, and repulsion of the murder of innocent Palestinian children..

Sun May 3, 2026, 11:17 AM

Yesterday

Just a gross and repulsive act of ANTI-SEMITISM against the State of Greater Israel.

I don't want to become unpopular or treated has low life scumbag by the Israeli lobby - because I voiced my concerns in a public setting for the murder and/or massacre, and/or genocide of children.

Isn't it much safer to just keep my mouth shut, shrug, and immediately look the other way ?

Pretending these atrocious and horrific atrocities simply are not taking place, for the sake of a Greater Israel and her expanding Mother Empire building efforts.

I am so torn, twisted and confused about my correct views here.
Should the USA condone Israel's murder of the innocents by providing copious quantities and endless amounts of guns, bullets, other munitions, bombs, missiles, and other hi tech and advanced military gear and equipment.

..... Or just say enough is FUCKING enough - and stop this
FUCKING madness.
