From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

The Thief’s Hat Is Burning

This saying, originally from Russian, points out how someone who does wrong is quick to point a blaming finger at others, accusing them of his (or her) misdeed.

Antisemites, recently rebranding themselves as anti-Zionist (since it’s way trendier and cooler to be against Zionism, because, you know, we want to be hip, and being an antisemite sounds bad nowadays…), are quick to blame Israel as committing genocide and/or ethnic cleansing against the underdog-de-jour, the Palestinians.

Their hat, however, is burning, showing who’s really calling for genocide…

Decrying “75 years of oppression of the Palestinian people…” clearly shows what they really mean is for Israel to be destroyed…

For 7.2 million Jews living in the sole Jewish-majority homeland in the world to be ethnically cleansed, if not outright killed…
