@anner442 there is really nothing else that they can do.... they feel it is the only thing that they can. On one has fully told them the right and the wrong. it happens to them so they think they can do it to others

there will be no pity from the greater powers next time.

did you see the other videos that they were starving the people? that was astounding!!!

go israel, do your thing. lol
