Pigs... They are Scum.

If anyone but Israel was doing this, it would be cause for Sanctions and War.

The "Chosen" get billions in Military Hardware and Cash.

Double Standards are " Anti-Semitic" unless they benefit the Genocidaires.

Then they are defending the "Jewish State" and it's "Right to Exist"

Disgusting.

Using human shields is, of course, illegal. Just add it to the ever-growing list of Israel's war crimes.
