As I reported last week, the United Nations slashed the reported number of women and children killed in Gaza in half. That hasn't stopped the media and protesters from using the numbers supplied by Hamas.
I supposedly am supposed to be on a hunger strike to protest the genocide Israel is perpetrating in Gaza. I'm supposed to care. But then I look back at the footage of Palestinians celebrating in the streets on October 7 as pickup trucks arrived with Israeli hostages in them. It was nice that they had their day.
Watch this member of the press interview an old woman about the incoming IDF offensive. Keep in mind, too, that all of the journalists on the ground in Gaza are Palestinian freelancers embedded with Hamas. Anyway, she wants Israel to bring it on.
As the Israeli genocidal campaign intensifies in Rafah and other parts of the besieged Gaza Strip, an 80-year-old Palestinian woman from Jabalia camp in Gaza bravely stated, "I am not afraid. We want to protect the resistance fighters."

"As long as there is aggression, there must be a resistance movement!"
Yeah, look at all of those poor, starving Palestinians cheering her on.

What we all want to know is why she's balancing a bottle of water on her head.
Ok so they admit to being human shields

Then she is considered a combatant.

Why are you simping for people raping hostages? Do you like the hostage part of the rape part?

They look well and happy so IDF is not that bad as Hamas reports

Kind of makes everyone who tells us that the citizenry of Gaza doesn't support the terrorists into liars.

Then there should be no complaints if she is killed

Wonder how many times she voted for Hamas.

She wants to die and protect the terrorists. Joe Biden, at the same age, couldn't balance a bottle of water on his head.

What's with the bottle?

I don't know who's more excited at the idea of Israel moving in, the old lady or the "journalist."
And all those dead children? Here's a bunch of them whose spokesperson is complaining that Israel purposefully planned for its holiday to fall on Nakba.
Of course Israel planned Independence Day to obscure Nakba Day. That is why Independence Day was first celebrated in 1948, and Nakba Day in 1998. https://t.co/POG5rdkRIR pic.twitter.com/lP17fpR6f2

This did not start on Oct 7, this started on May 15, 1948… NAKBA DAY..🇵🇸💔

And this is how Palestinian children are raised since birth. I can't say I feel sorry for them either.
Correct. The anniversary of "Nakba" commemorates the day the entire Islamic world rejected a Palestinian state, began a war, attempted to massacre the ME Jewish population, and started ejecting 750000 Jews from their ancestral homes. https://t.co/g9MgjeprkQ

May 15, 1948 was the date that every Arab country tried to destroy Israel and failed.

So you started a war and the Jews won.

Sounds like a pattern...
This is why it was so important for Vice President Kamala Harris to remind us not to conflate Hamas with the Palestinian people. These are just innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of a war their heroes started.
