Readers’ Voice: Free Palestine from the clutches of Israel

block

Does Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister know that devils are hiding their face in shame as they have been defeated in orgy to a person who is called a human being ? Palestinians are dying like flies, every construction is destroyed, Israel is on a killing spree and laughing with glee.
Why is America supporting Israel? How could US President Joe Biden say what is happening in Gaza is not genocide?” We are asking if it is not genocide then what is it? Will President Biden clarify it?
Without America’s support Israel would not have dared to act in such a way, it is a shame that America who calls itself super power is controlled by Israel. We request countries from all over the world to become united and rescue Palestinians from the clutch of Israel, the evil force. We trust the day is not far away when Israel will have to pay dearly.
