The escalation of events came amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, originating from Hamas and other terrorists infiltrating southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking an additional 250 hostages back on October 7. As of now, Palestinian militants still have approximately 100 captives, while the ongoing Israeli bombardments and ground operations in Gaza have allegedly resulted in more than 36,000 Palestinian deaths, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians.

Take these nut jobs and parachute them in to palestine(wherever that is) set um up to send live stream back and these idiots will pack up and go away across this nation.
They do not help the real issue of the Yahoo’s genocidal agenda. They are Woketards who don’t get much, except waving flags, shouting empty slogans and causing trouble.
However, I am VERY happy they are throwing the current tyrannous government(s) a sh*t party, especially in CA under the fascist, Newsome. GO WOKETARDS!!! Hooray!
