Repost bcuz 2wrongs will never = Peace for 🇵🇸 or 🇮🇱. The USA 🇺🇸 #MSM fanning the flames on either side with such headlines w/obvious bias is fueling the continued hatred. I don’t get how one group can forget the pain of their own history & do the same nihilism to others.
@washingtonpost @DeadlineWH #MSM @AymanMSNBC #TheReidOut @CrossConnection Below is the kind of media hype line that fuels religious/cultural racism/hatred. It’s totally pro-Israel using “HAMAS” in the headline to ignore it’s Palestine ppl, kids, communities being erased 😥
So, firing more than thousands of missiles by them to Israel civilian areas doesn’t make a news for you?

Let’s please not forget that Egypt has also closed its border with Gaza. Let’s not forget Hamas is starving its people to make thousands of ineffective rockets and hundreds of tunnels into Israel, or that Hamas has vowed to destroy Israel. Your memory is incredibly spotty.
