They just want to kill as many people as possible, especially when they just use the word Hamas. They just want to remind the Gaza/Palestine Health Service that they are probably not collecting enough body parts so their number of killed is probably just more than 30 000. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just continues to smile as he knows that the United States will just continue to send him thousands more bombs, shells and bullets just to rain down on the innocent. The Israeli Defence Force commanders and soldiers just smile as they open fire on hapless, hungry and defenseless Palestinians scrambling to just get a few food items from the one food truck which just made it through in days of travel. The Biden administration just continues to be complicit in what the rest of the world may justly identify as genocide in Palestine. Just keep praying, especially for the children. After all, they are just collateral damage – without any justification to be so identified. Michael Rudder
