Everyone thinks that Israel occupies Gaza. Well, Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Guess who has occupied Gaza since 2007? Read the poem and find out the truth...

Pro-Palestinians shout
     What about?
   "How can you support
     Gaza's occupier?"

   Those who shout
     are rather dumb louts
   Gaza's occupier since 2007
     is (surprise!) ~ Hamas!

   Israel withdrew in 2005
     eighteen years ago
   Ever since then Gaza has been
     100 percent Palestinian

Hi Gershon, the idiots don't like when facts get in the way. Brain-dead U.S. college students being pro-Hamas. I rest my case. ~

That they may now be victims of a genocide, is what they're shouting about. How can you call every innocent Palestinian girl and boy who may soon lose their lives louts? Hamas are cruel psychopathic __ 's! agreed.

I believe the media are aware of this Gershon....but why let the truth get in the way of the political "NARRATIVE"...

Absolutely great point, John. Spot-on. Bullseye.
