I know that you do not know this, because these pro-Hamas media are REALLY REALLY good at controlling what we see and hear, but 1) it is HAMAS who has been DEMANDING a genocide against ALL Jews for YEARS. (Don't believe me? Here, listen to a Hamas leader yourself : kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6uomHWpipuAn5o [ did you notice that its recorded on an Israeli website? Tell me, WHY is this Hamas leader's video NOT being shown on other media? Hamas has called for the death of ALL Jews for YEARS. Why have you NOT heard of this? Because these pro-Hamas media are LYING TO US]) 2) Hamas leaders have RECODED THEMSELVES demanding a war with Israel year after year after year. Hamas has been firing rockets at Israeli women and children for DECADES now (why are you NOT mad about that? ) 3) you also do NOT know that 20% of Israel's population are PALESTINIANS who can own land, own businesses and live throughout the country. Israel has PALESTINIAN police and military personnel. What kind of "genocide" is that?! 4) You do NOT know that Israel forcibly removed JEWISH landowners in Gaza in 2005 in order to allow the Palestinians to govern themselves WITHOUT a need for Israeli soldiers to enter. But Hamas fought a war with other Palestinians groups and they killed hundreds of Palestinians in that year. They IMMEDIATELY began using international aid money to dig tunnels and buy weapons to fire against Israel. Again, you did NOT know any of this because of these pro-Hamas media who are controlling what we see and hear. Just like you did NOT know that the Muslim Haddith books call on Muslims to kill all Jews in the end times. (Don't believe me? Here you go : Hadith narrated by Abi Hurira: "The last hour won't come before the Muslims would fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them so Jews would hide behind rocks and trees. Then the rocks and tree would call: oh Muslim, oh servant of God! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only "Gharkad" tree, it is of Jews' trees."
