War crimes and humiliation in Gazastan
When Israel does this, headlines and editors around the world scream, “HUMILIATION!” When the Palestinians do it: Not so much. If Israel did this, the world would scream, “WAR CRIMES! MASSACRE!” In all, 14 fighters and civilians were killed and … Continue reading
