8. A final push before tsf takes orifice and gets to claim "peace"
Tue Nov 26, 2024, 08:38 AM
Nov 26

Of course it wont be peace. It just wont be 2000 pound bombs. Artillery will still pound. Tanks will still fire. Snipers will still kill.

It will just be a dull backround level of killing.

But the media will eat it up. Peace at last. Of course no palestinians will be allowed to return or remain, but hey, its the lesser of two evils.

And the hero will be louded.
