Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

Just FYI for those that still doubt the ongoing genocide of the Palestine people.

Absolutely. It was a shit deal right from the state. There is zero guarantee that we actually get the sub we were apparently buying. We need to bin off AUKUS and look to South Korea about getting some subs.
