This isn't Gaza. This is the West Bank which is run by the PA not Hamas. It is being decimated, homes destroyed, over 40,000 Palestinians displaced so far with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

A scholar of fascism and authoritarianism on Tulsi Gabbard -- She's perfect for Trump's anti-democratic vision.
Notable are the several mentions of Hindu nationalism in this piece. Gabbard is supported by this far-right movement in America. It's dangerous for us all
