  • The West’s hypocrisy towards Gaza’s breakout is stomach-turning

    The West’s hypocrisy towards Gaza’s breakout is stomach-turning

    The current outpouring of sympathy for Israel should make anyone with half a heart retch. Not because it is not awful that Israeli civilians are dying and suffering in such large numbers.

    Another Act of Terror:  How the Media do PR for Biden and Zelensky
