Ugh, I used to highly defend Israel like a decade ago. And I thiiink back then the IDF was much less hostile in their actions plus "Pallywood" was much more prominent. Now it seems that many Israelis have become radicalised and the stuff that was faked by Hamas and other terror organisations has just become actual truth.
