Now that you mention this it seems really obvious.

It’s October 10th for me right now. The October 7th attacks were two years ago. He starts it with “two years of suffering for [some] Israeli families and the entirety of Gaza.”

Who has been suffering?

Families of the Oct. 7 attacks — Israelis as a whole haven’t been suffering. All people from Gaza have.

Went all the way to “uncle tom” for this one, huh OP?

Fun fact, every time you say Uncle Tom like this you perpetuate Jim Crow propaganda
