11. no its hyperbole...
i have a pretty damn good idea of what us israelis do to the Palestinians.....and a pretty damn good idea what we dont do:

committing genocide is not one of them
putting aid in candies in not one of them
massacring Palestinians is not one of them
targeting journalists
targeting children

we dont cook humus as some kind of "symbol" of taking Palestinian land (is humas an exclusive Palestinian dish?...cant jewish israelis eat it? enjoy it?)
Longest occupation?....whats the problem? Barghouti cant do math?
worst apartheid?...really i must have missed the separate roads, building entrances, bathrooms, etc during my last visit to the westbank or in israel itself

___

hyperbole is cheap, it encourages dehumanization and it encourages continued violence as a result....a nice first step would be sticking to the facts....feel free to interpret them as is ones preference...but there is little need to make up stuff.

it just one more stupid strategy being used......
