So Craig, accepting at face-value the worthless words of a coward; agreeing that ten year-old Matilda is an acceptable stand-in for the architects of Gaza's destruction, makes you every bit as evil as the shooter.
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

Anglophone states have the superpower of being colonial dumping grounds for all sorts of people and that fact alone makes for a more durable society. There cannot be a hegemonic ethnic or religious group. Why would you want to throw that away?

Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.

my negotiation strategy with russia is kill more russians
What are you even talking about! I am saying it is a delusional fantasy to suggest Russia is going to invade European countries like Poland, Germany or indeed the UK, which is the insane drivel currently being promoted in support of a disastrous arms race.
