Israel: "What are you gonna do about it?"

We have 2 of our best writers working on some very mean letters.

They'll have to come up with a new lie to get this off the news. Maybe the UN Secretary General is Hamas.

or find a way to link him to the UNRWA, which they already managed to drag down

Like it wasn't already obvious

(In effect) they were accused of trespassing while standing somewhere they shouldn't be. It's now gone through courts and legally convicted of trespassing.

You know, the whole issue with Russias invasion of Ukraine?

Palestine is not Israel.

And Ukraine is not Russia, US isn't Israel. Got a actual point?

Yeah. If it's not Israeli then we're not interfering in their domestic affairs.

Furthermore who we send our military aid to is nobody's business but our own.
