Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

Reminder:
Green energy doesn't require war with oil-rich countries.
It's also sustainable and doesn't pollute our air.
It is also the future of the planet at large.
If we choose oil, we choose our own extinction.
So war for oil/oil = bad
Green energy = good
