        the ottomans did a great job administrating the middle eastern area Palestine and Israel are in for 800 years peacefully, finally ending after ww1. Why not give the region back to them to administrate? Israel cannot and should not be allowed to run a murderous supremacist government there. We know they are just going to keep killing and expanding until they are stopped. Enough is enough.

      Who’s paying for their fuck ups? Us, the citizens, especially the opposing ones.
