Final truth about Netanyahu.
Still.
Forever.
We will not forget Rabin.
Will will not forgive Netanyahu (for his part in inciting the radicals against Rabin, who was assassinated).

Israel has completely wiped out Rafah, turning a fifth of Gaza’s territory into a giant buffer zone. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently remain in Gaza and ethnically cleanse its people.

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits.
Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?
