Israel’s male flagbearer at Friday’s opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is believed to have signed bombs prior to them being fired against the Palestinians in Gaza, Anadolu has reported. Peter Paltchik, 32, used social media to show him writing “From me to you with pleasure” on munitions destined for Gaza.

      And what exactly happened over the last few decades prior to October last year?

          Have you been paying attention to what has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank for the last 70 years?

              Releasing hostages was NOT something Israel said would end the conflict. They pulled that little line out of their agreed deal. Temporary ceasefire if they release all hostages…so…long enough to look pretty for the camera and then start it all over again.

              You’ve said before that the only actions taken in the last 70 years in that region were from Palestinians attacking Israel, ignoring every single event that Israel took the lion’s share in. Are you being willfully ignorant as to avoid finding out details you don’t like?

              Not a single person in this thread is praising Hamas, no one is advocating for the death of civilians, or celebrating it. But they are calling out dehumanizing behavior, like personally signing (with a cute message no less) bombs that may or may not be dropped on civilians. Historically speaking, like, within the last week even, we can assume some of those bombs were dropped on designated safe zones.

          Why don’t they attack Jews outside of israel then.

          And why do they attack atheists inside of israel?

      If Hamas had been hiding under Israeli hospitals, do you think the same level of force would be used?
