@dumdum666 @Stamau123 At least he's one of the few world leaders speaking against Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of the Palestinians. More should, then there wouldn't even be a Hamas

Yeah, I think more world leaders should talk about the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds and how PKK are just freedom fighters. If it wasn’t for Erdogan, there wouldn’t even be a PKK.

@dumdum666 @Stamau123 I don't know, but considering America gives Israel $3 billion a year to slaughter Palestinians pretty sure that rates pretty high

That much money? Just from the US? Wow.

If they spend money from just one year, for the Palestinians they have killed up until now, they paid 215,000 USD per dead Palestinian (I am calculating with 14k dead).

I mean if they really wanted to kill all Palestinians they surely would have come up with a more cost effective solution. They are Jews after all. Don’t you agree?
