I hate that so many end up defaulting to Israel's lying language to describe what they are doing.

Israel doesn't "warn" people to "evacuate", it issues terroristic threats that it always follows through on.

It engages in ethnic cleansing and genocide with the veneer of humanitarianism.

Hello, I am very sad. After the war on Iran, prices here in Gaza have become very expensive. For the past four days I've been trying to raise enough money to buy a bag of flour. Today it costs $480, and I'm short $110. Please help me.

Can you help me? πŸ«‚πŸ˜­
