Not everyone who participated in Al Aqsa Flood was Hamas and those who took the Bibas family were confirmed not part of Hamas. But the way you keep confidently speaking to defend Israel when you have no idea what you're talking about tells me you're not under the "ANC government" so I'll end it here.

Not defending Israel, just this was about Hamas and the mayor saying he does not support them. I give you my reasoning why I agree with his view. I like how you attack me, the messenger, as if you know anything about me. But this isn't about me, probably my mistake to try and find comparisons from my own life, but I know better now.

I really do hope the Palestinian people get to have peace and prosper, really hope they can have like what we in SA did and live in harmony together. Thank fuck we had Mandela and de Klerk that was able to negotiate peace and lead us to a constitutional democracy.

But I will not support Hamas personally, nor Netenyau's government, hopefully both sides(Palestine and Israel) can get leaders such as ours that can work together. I really hope for everyone there they find a way to live together.

Otherwise this is my last comment on this thread, not gonna waste more of my time, I do not want to change your opinion nor would I want you to change your opinion, we both can have our own valid opinions. So cheers and my not a drop of blood be further spilled on either side

"Not defending Israel, just spreading Israeli blood libel against Palestinians and denouncing the people who fight for their own survival"

Cool story bro good showing on how you didn't read the article on South Africa you got linked earlier.
