should've been a clear sign that something was going on.

I've seen videos of masked Israeli troops siding with illegal settlers in abusing Palestinians while we have masked ICE agents illegally imprisoning or throwing immigrants out of our nation.

They built a wall separating Israel from Palestine, while closing them off to trade with other nations, we built a wall separating us from Mexico while *rump throws ridiculous tariffs around just for political reasons.

It's the same racist MO except Israelis have universal health care.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon
