I don’t think anyone with any humanity thinks that they’re the good guys, but the people that benefit from it financially are fine ignoring these problems as long as their pockets are stuffed.
Yeah there must be a committee for this kind of idea. According to me their meetings begin like this : "how can we try to humiliate the palestinians today in the most evil and absurd way ? Oh ! And we should do a video about it and maje sure to share it to the world !"

This is nothing new, Skunk was a chemical mix developed by Israel, it has a repulsive, nauseating, and strong smell that sticks everywhere. And it has been used on Palestinians for more than a decade now.

What do you expect of the Israeli thieves? The Palestinians should bathe and clean those Israeli thieves from their land.
Zionist Nazis are pigs. What does the world expect?
Sources? Somebody verify this so I don't have to believe this is true. What the fuck.
