3:15 am
started shooting rockets and israel they decided when this round would start israel will decide when it ends no civilian death is acceptable and that's why we have war the fact that hamas uses civilians as human shields it means that to some us is murdering its own people by hiding cowardly behind this civilians by hiding its command centers within buildings that belong to. you know hospitals or schools this is a cynical 'd way of operating and they hold they wrecked responsibility to all the deaths the days that were going to sit back and allow murderers terror groups shoot and 'd kill jews those days are over and if numbers seem slanted all it means is that israel cares more about its own people than hamas

3:18 am
about what's going on in ghosts or and how that the next thing you'll be telling me is that rockets rained down on jerusalem or some such equally nonsensical. story which they've been saying they've been saying the same thing over and over again a single state from the rivets of the say a proper democracy with equal rights all rights equal equal human rights for every rich single citizen all people citizens all the jews all the arabs all citizens of a single state from the rivets of the sea that would. that would have a chance a real real chance of working you know why because it speaks to the collective management of our human affairs that we're all going to have to adopt if we're going to save this fragile planet from this from what we're seeing on our screens here. tragic events shook the russian republic of tatarstan on tuesday
