Jenin has endured plenty of rough days lately, but May 21 outdid them all. In the course of one hour in the morning, snipers killed seven of the city’s residents, all of them innocent passersby, even though the streets were quiet and the soldiers had no cause to open fire.

They shot from high up in two buildings, called Rabia and A-Rein, just outside the camp, and the dead included two teenagers and the director of the surgical ward at the Jenin Governmental Hospital, who was just getting out of his car in the hospital’s parking lot.

    What’s America’s stance on terrorism again? This is full-blown terrorism, but extra cold and intentional with each trigger pull. It’s certainly not running into an area with a bomb hoping for the best, that’s for sure.

      I have been told by liberals that everyone in America supports Genocide and terrorism. Apparently there is no chance for any party to win the elections if they do not support Genocide because Americans will only vote for Genocide.

        And those liberals are right, even if indirectly. Do you pay taxes in America? Then yes, you do support genocide and terrorism. And so long as the capitalist uniparties go unchallenged, these things will not change. Just look at your options this election season. Genocidal capitalist racist vs. Genocidal capitalist who used to be/still is racist.

          Biden IS racist, let’s not pretend that geriatric old fuck isn’t any less racist just because he doesn’t openly call for killing minorities. He only bombs them

          “Akshually Bin Laden was right and every American is willingly complicit in Genocide there are no innocent American civilians”

          Insane comments with zero thought. All to keep the mental gymnastics flowing to justify Genocide.

        Yeah, but American “liberals” aren’t actually liberals in any way. They’re just conservative narcissists inappropriately using that label to get away with very non-liberalism shit that ironically oppresses people’s freedoms for the sake getting/maintaining what they want.
