You do realize that the chief opressor is Hamas.

As I've said several times on this forum, I like Türkiye. In fact, I just had a smoked Türkiye and provolone sandwich for lunch today.

Google 'gaza hamas' too many to link to, along with the usual crap about the poor downtrodden palestinians.

Hamas is trying to impose sharia law in Gaza. They are putting women back into the stone age. They are executing people after military tribunals, in short justice is in damn short supply.

If Mexicans or Canadians were lobbing rockets across our borders, or sending in tourists wearing explosive vests and blowing themselves up in the malls, what do you suppose our reaction would be?
