Re: Kicking off in Israel
It's interesting that the BBC have admitting fluffing their figures for deaths during the conflict. The figures supplied by Hamas included their soldiers, the true civilian death toll is around 20,000 - 24,000. Whilst a lot of innocent people have lost their lives at the hands of puppets in Iran, L...
