    Just typical behavior from a totally normal democracy that is not doing genocide. /s

    I suppose anyone that has any criticism whatsoever of Israel in any form is persona non grata these days.

    The fact that Israel has put so much effort into changing US law to prevent anyone from claiming anything negative about Israel is a red flag that Israel needs negative things said.

    I fully support the state of Israel and believe that the holocaust happened, and I will STILL call an asshat an asshat. Tough shit. Guess I’ll cancel any vacation plans I ever planned in their country.

    Lula told the press on Sunday that “what is happening in the Gaza Strip is not a war, it is a genocide,” and added that it was comparable to “a war between a very prepared army and women and children” that had no precedent in history, except “when Hitler decided to kill the Jews.”

    Disgraceful comments.
