There can be absolutely no justification for [...]

Why do we support Jewish fashion industry, while Israel massacres Gaza civilians?

Kuwait and other countries in the GCC has always patronized high fashion, designer boutiques, and premium fashion brands. Some of these well-known brands are owned by designers of Jewish origin.

Israeli soldiers admit “Purification” agenda in Gaza

So the holocaust survivors progeny considers their mission of Gaza massacre is nothing more than “purification”. Well Nazi’s called it ethnic cleansing, so I guess Israelis are heeding to Nazi principals in Gaza now. This video was banned by the Israeli establishment, but released anyways by an Israeli channel.
