wow
you’d think israel was the center of the universe
i can assure you it is not and never will be
that certain people called ‘dibs’ on this place and
changed the name and occupied the original inhabitants
and continues to do injury to them and all of us
while we sit back and wait for what ? to happen
there needs to be a reverse emancipation
every single palestinian should leave that place
the whole world will receive you with open arms
and then we will see what those ‘settlers’ got [get]
