    Bombing fucking Bethlehem on Christmas is just such over the top cartoonishly evil shit and pro-Zionist (fascist) liberals still fucking defend this shit.

      Hey! Just for fact’s sake - not trying to minimize Israel attacking Bethlehem on Christmas - the article doesn’t mention any bombing of Bethlehem, it was a harassing raid by ground forces that arrested a few people as part of an intimidation campaign against the west bank.

      Regions in and near Nablus, Jericho, Ramallah and Bethlehem – which Christians believe is the birthplace of Jesus Christ – were also raided overnight by Israeli forces, Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut reported.

      Obviously that’s still vile and again shows how close the army and illegal settlers are. But a raid rather than bombing.

        You are right. Within the past few months, Israel has bombed some areas in the West Bank, but Bethlehem is currently not one of them.

      Liberals support this do they? I doubt anyone getting arrested at the protests for ‘hate crimes’ has come down from Chipping Norton.

      Considering some humans to be “not humans” is a primary tool of fascism.

      Probably best to avoid de-humanizing anyone if you truly want to end fascism rather than re-create it under a different name.

      Humans can do terrible, abhorrent things. It’s good for us to remember that, as we are also human; And capable of the same atrocities if we aren’t careful and vigilant.
