Does the criminal Zionist Israel’s defense of itself mean genocide, displacement, and turning the Gaza Strip into plowed land? Does this mean that America, Canada, and all European countries with their regular armies participate in all these inhumane crimes? Indeed, Hamas turned their noses at them and humiliated them!”
