“They insist that ‘silence is violence’. But apparently those maxims don’t apply when Jews are being murdered.”
Why can’t anyone bring themselves to speak up for Jews?
Why Are All of You Silent?
A few years back you were a bunch of activists. Now Jews are being murdered in cold blood and you haven’t said a word, from

That’s so generous of Hamas to give back people they forcibly took from their homes after murdering their families. Hamas is so tender
Kind of a weird response to the release of hostages. It’s notable that Hamas released 4 hostages for humanitarian reasons with nothing in return. Israel, of course, did not do that.

Humans can only survive without water for about 3 days. Gaza has run dry.
