If anyone wants to know what life is like under #Hamas rule ... just two months ago they ruled that women need a male guardian’s approval to simply travel:
What happened to all those apologists saying “antisemitism only happens with white nationalists” … pretty damn silent now. Can’t even get a tweet of condemnation. Can you give us even an Instagram story?
