attacked them with flashbangs and rubber bullets while storming the camp and arresting the protesters who didn't resist.

No wonder the camp got destroyed.

        Our old friend duke fleed had been sending me footage of this for five years now. Bibi is the monster here. And that's on brand for him. - David May 2, 13:33

Right. It's victim-blaming and intentionally missing the point of what's happening. -- nm - David May 2, 12:53 5
