#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

Absolutely. Absolutely. I think if there was no occupation, there would be no violence. It's quite obvious. And again, people understand this. I mean, like we saw on Twitter in the recent month, all of these Israeli propagandists who had tweeted pictures of like little girls with guns in Ukraine and like
