    The attack by hamas against Israel sneakily done mirrors the atrocities instigated by Nippon against the “Sleeping Bear,” the USA !!!
    Murder and rape are the “calling cards of despots“ lacking the peaceful communication talents of educated citizens of this World ‼️ 
      Fear and misery enslave their populace while  stifling freedom and creativity !!!

    They elected Hamas to rule them.  Then Hamas used most of the money ,donated to them by the US and many other countries around the world ,to build terror tunnels and buy weapons.  
    Almost nothing was used for the people they were ruling. I blame GW Bush for allowing the election without educating the Palestinians first.
