    The idea that there are two sides to this is ridiculous.
  • Imagine what Israel did to the Palestinians when we couldn't see their crimes on our phones.
  • @renewoods
    Myriam François just gave a mini Master Class.
  • I think Uriel underestimates how much detail knowledge about Israel and Palestine is existing among the general public nowadays.
  • @Mohika881
    This guys is lying about the Hamas charter. Also, they are not the only party representing the Palestinian people. Fatah also represent the Palestinian people. This is a liberation struggle plain and simple.

  • Hamas updated their covenant in 2017 they now recognize Israel according to 1967 border but Israel does not recognize Palestine at all
