#Israeli Spokesman: Here's video of #Hamas firing rockets at Israel!
#Biden: Israel has right to defend itself.
Uh, about that video 👇 it's from 2018, and the rockets were fired at Daara, Syria, not Israel. Israel lied. Our gov't is complicit in those lies to manipulate us
Just to be clear, the protests by Palestinians arose because the #IDF helped Israeli settlers evict Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem:

Israel has used Rubber Bullets, tear gas, flash grenades against Palestinian Civilians to maim hundreds of them, including an attack on the Al-Aqsa mosque during Ramadan.
Since Monday the crisis intensified. In response to ineffective Hamas rocket attacks on Monday, Israeli air strikes have killed 67 Palestinians in Gaza, and wounded hundreds more, most of them civilians & children. Seven Israelis have died.
Israel has blockaded Gaza ever since 2007, after Hamas won an electoral victory, a result Israeli officials were delighted about, as it would give to treat Gaza as a "hostile state", which would allow them to attack Gaza in what their military strategists call "mowing the lawn."
Now #Israel has set the stage for another war on the Palestinians living in #Gaza, through it's deliberate provocation of evicting Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, & it's subsequent military-style attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
#PresidentBiden merely responds that Israel has the "right to defend itself." We all know this is rank hypocrisy. Israel is committing #WarCrimes, & will commit more as it ethnically cleanses Palestinians from #GreaterIsrael. What will this chart like at end of 2021?
