Has anyone else noticed? We always hear about ” Israel ” assassinating leaders of Hamas, yet we never even once have heard, Hamas assassinated Israeli leaders. They definitely could do it, they outclass the IDF at every step. The thing is, they don’t want to murder: they want peace. That scares the sh!t out of Nazinyahu.
” Israel ” has done all they can to promote hatred, terrorism, war…Hamas has consistently tried for peace. You figure it out…
When will the zionists ever realize… that murdering leaders will not stop political-religious movements? One might think the jews would have learned that truth when they murdered Jesus, or so they thought… and everyone knows how they failed to stop His truths from changing the World… This most recent Martyr they murdered today will only assist in strengthening the Undying Truth of Islam and the courage and will to be free of the great Muslim Peoples.
