The Palestinian Nazi gang committed the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Defending against this is not genocide.

I do not know how much more evidence American voters need that their president is a Russian puppet and intent on being part of the “dictator” club! Which means his real goal is to turn America into a credible dictatorship. A lot of voters there will never wake up until they have lost everything.
