    or believe conspiracy theories. However this is starting to look like a planned genocide of Palestinians. If the story that Israel knew a year ago of the plans of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. I have come to think Netanyahu wanted something like this to happen. It gives him cover to get rid of Gaza once and for all. I think he sees the murdered Israelis as acceptable collateral damage.

    The attack by Hamas was despicable. What Netanyahu is doing is just as despicable. Telling Palestinians to go south, then shelling and shooting those following those instructions is murder.

    all-in with the weaponization of the Holocaust to justify the killing of thousands of civilians, is stomach turning.

    know the number? Because Hamas has been the one saying 10K or more civilians have been killed. And I don't believe Hamas.

    derangement embraced and promoted by Netanyahu's Settler allies is exemplified by this quote from Rabbi Yaacov Perrin:

    "One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail."

    Spoken like a true man of God.

    cannot google any info at all about Perrin except that quote of his from 30 years ago. Who is he? What is his background? Is he still alive?
