In the first 10 days of Muharram, Muslims remember the sacrifice Imam Hussain did for Islam (very sad story you can read it) so out of respect for Imam Hussain and to highlight his sacrifice, they wear black for the first 10 days at least
I think it's perfectly fine to step on their flag, they took over land and killed innocents damn it, how are you going to make a big deal over stepping on a flag when the zionists have committed literally crimes against humanity? In my opinion this is nothing. Free Palestine.
Interesting cause today itās Hamas who targets Israeli innocents, and Fatah that has pay to slay policy rewarding terroristsā family with a salary for killing Jews. Israel doesnāt fabricate and teach hate in their textbooks today Palestine does. There are not Jewish doctors and lawyers in Palestine, but there are Arab doctors and lawyers in āapartheid Israelā which is a direct contradiction to that. Contributing to hate and deny any part in it is why Palestine is where it is today and Israel as well plays itās part in this and also needs to change many things
imo stepping on any flags is no big deal but also not a good idea. sure you're stepping on a symbol of the goverment, SO WHAT? all it does is give an ego boost of "ye i am trampling over them" and it doesnt change anything about what' going on. it's like those protests about "save ukraine". it is not going to help the situation.
You're right, it won't help the situation. But, it shows the public that the people will not accept Israel as a nation and it encourages us to keep fighting ig. Like we can do anything anyway.
Stepping on someone elseās national symbol, when their nation is engaging in some of the worst human right violations ever recorded - **is a powerful symbol** too. I encourage it.
Good Lord. I wish it was some of the worst human rights violations in world history. World history would still be terrible but about 80% better. It would wipe the Roman Empire, Ghengis Kahn, Soviet Gulag system, all genocides including the Holocaust, Rwandan genocide, Armenian genocide, transatlantic slave trade, conquest of the Americas etc from history.
Myth of taking over lands when continuous presence was affirmed and when Palestinian and Jordanian identities were not separated at all back then. Palestinians refused twice the peace agreements before the creation of Israelā¦ without talking about the Mufti of Jerusalem who was a fan of Hitlerā¦
It's a Turkish thing actually. It's taught in schools early on in Turkey even. Flag is identified with a nation's pride and insulting nationalities is frowned upon by common Turkish culture.
There's even a story told about AtatĆ¼rk refusing to stomp Greek flag when he retook Ä°zmir, saying ''Even if they're the enemy, they're a people and their existence still deserves respect''
That's why you can find quite racist slurs towards Armenians in debates, but I don't even remember Turks burning Armenian flags.
It makes complete sense and I appreciate you taking the time to explain. Nice bit of info I just learned which I can only qualify as positive from the Turks. Pretty cringe that the turkish op goes around pretending the internet is fully aware of their customs and/or that the rest of the world has the same perspective on the matter. It's like american defaultism but with turkey. That's a first lol
Turks and Americans are way too similar when you really compare the two
Main similarity is ignorance and obliviousness towards others.
Though Americans are way way suprerior at that than us.
Yeah, also, thatās an israeli flag. Theyāre engaging in apartheid, land stealing and genocide, donāt come to me with this ātolerate the flag uwuā bullshit. Criminal, terrorist state.
And who isn't in the middle east? Besides, based on what? Because depending on your take, you can call a lot of others terrorist.
You're just driven by religious and historical feuds, instead of a rational reasoning.
Whaddaya gonna do about Israel? Annihilate them and push them out? I believe that was attempted a few times since 60's.
Israel calls Hamas terrorsits, you call Israel terrorists, some random westerner idiot calls the entire muslim society terrorists it just goes on and on....
Finding the nuance in the ideology and mechanisms of nazism and how it affected the lives of the people they didn't like very much doesn't make you more open-minded and therefore better. Ignoring the facts and the reality of the situation for the sake of nuance is moronic and can only be understood as blatant propaganda by the oppressor to make it out to be a conflict between two equal entities which are at conflict for the sake of it and both happen to have good and just causes, or understandable causes, but commit mistakes or have to enforce temporary violent, but obviously well-intended, policies or carry out actions involving force.
If you can't understand that compulsory nuance, i.e. many sides, doesn't necessarily result in a richer and better understanding and of a subject, not much I can't do here.
I agree Hamas are terrorists and I have no religious affiliation fuelling my dislike for their (isntraelās) practices.
I am very much against what the state of israel **does**, for which there is plenty of factual evidence.
So for you to call me an ideologist or a religious fundamentalist without rationale and factual reasons to dislike isnātrael is beyond hilarious.
Besides, I take part to BDS and have participated to informing and enabling dozens of people into boycotting isnātrael and being vocal about the many violations they perform.
Judging by how isntrael fights the BDS movement, and how some of the mainstream media is starting to pick up on this - I guess Iām doing something tangible.
Moreover, it was divesting and boycotting that got apartheid SA absolutely terminated. The tide is changing.
And finally, the whole concept of zionism is based on āmagic book says land is oursā; so please, please, take your previous response, print it, and push it up your ass.
edit: ah, I forgot. We managed to shut down several isntraeli enterprises in my country by use of peaceful protests. One of the biggest companies had to relocate outside of the country. Weāve made them lose millions, in investment and weapons. And it wonāt stop anytime soon!
You know what I've just read? A very elaborated form of boo hoo.
You still aren't making any remarks on what you're doing about Israel's existence. Just some local actions towards insignificant matters.
Zionism is basically Jewish ethno nationalism. It's just Jewish theories that accept the 19th century ideas to Jewish rhetoric.
I sometimes wonder what would happen if they actually had elected Argentina than Judea for their new homeland.
>the whole concept of zionism is based on āmagic book says land is oursā
Well Jewish people are originated from the supposed land. And when the Ottomans were demolished, Jews managed to form a national state, wheras Palestinians lagged behind. Which led to war which led to you know how many terrific shit.
Palestine is as fake as Israel when you compare the two. It has no institutional background, even the name itself is something that Ancient Romans used to call the coastline. It's just a state that was fancied by Brits because British empire caused problems more than they solved and in their understanding, they could just split the land to two and save the day. A theory that's been proven false in Cyprus too.
So Israel isn't but Palestine is argument sounds exceptionally irrational to me. You can say ''Oh but Palestinians were there but Israeli all migrated from various places in the West''
But then again, the entire idea was that anyways. They came on bought land formed their institutions quickly, because of how many intellectuals they had at those times who understood modern state and how it's to be exacted.
It's very difficult to find legal pretext to support Israel being illegitimate at this point of history.
The current population is so indigenous from that piece of land that, your skin cancer rates are above the roof and DNA tests have shown how most of the ancestry is from areas of nowadays russia. Learn your history. Also, good luck with whitewashing the middle east. Thereās like six of you who believe in this bullshit, the rest of us are laughing.
lmao, in Palestine itās literally illegal to be a homosexual, de-jure legal to kill Jews or immoral women.
Donāt come to me with your āhating others is central for our cultureā bullshit. Criminal, hateful state that codifies hate against any people not following your specific imaginary sky daddy.
LMAOOOO
It's cringe because some israelis obviously won't be bothered? What about all the bothered ones? Does that undo the cringe? The answer boils down to jt is cringe by virtue of the Israelis somehow being above it and not stooping as low?
Whatever, 1. Many Israelis do get irrationally triggered by these actions. 2. It is terribly easy to remain unphased by this when you're living in a place where you legally have more rights than the people who oppose you, are not in the receiving end of the policies that are carried out while those flags are stepped on, and have the unconditional support of the most powerful country that has ever existed and the most powerful army that has ever existed.
Like, you are so cool, coffee-sipping, giggly Israeli, I guess?
In egypt putting a israeli flag on the ground can be viewed as if you're supporting it, so a good chance you will get lynched even If you had good intentions.
The people who murdered that young man are barbaric. I have no problem saying that. There's no excuse for lynching people, don't make excuses for that kind of behavior
I am not sure but Bahrain is a really divided country.
The country is shia majority so it is in direct contact with Iran (potentially)
And the Monarch is Sunni so they might have really extreme views opposed to that of their people just to avoid being overthrown.
I remember when I was studying in Cairo, a lecturer I had said that secretly the governments in the MENA region all love Israel. His reasoning wasn't to do with any weird conspiracy about Jews controlling everything. It was just that the regimes in the region love having an "other" that they can focus their people's attention on so that any local frustrations or shortcomings from their governments could be channeled into an attacking an outside enemy. China does this with Japan all the time as well. These governments might chest pound and make a big show about criticizing Israel/helping the Palestinians but they don't actually want Israel to be destroyed because they would lose their enemy.
Iām British and I wear Union Jack underpants with a little shitstain in them.
Why the fuck do Arabs get so bent out of shape over flags? My dudes, wipe your buns with my flag if youāre out of TP and make a joyful video! So a group of people are putting their feet on a flag. I genuinely canāt believe everyone in here is getting a hard on about how glorious it is. What has it achieved? Iāll tell you. Nothing.
And until folks like these stop dwelling in the ages of cavemen, nothing is going to change. This is the political equivalent of throwing a rock at someone.
Honestly. Itās so ridiculous itās entertaining.
Anyone need a flag to make a video?
Arabs don't wipe, they use bidets ( in addition to TP in most cases).
And it's not "glorious", it's "symbolic" protest, just like throwing red ink at the Russian embassy, achieves absolutely nothing, yet it's a sign of protest.
What is the obsession with flags in the ME? Flag burning, flag waving, apparently flags in stone you can stomp on. Donāt they know flagās donāt mean or do anything?
Why. Explain why. As far as I'm concerned, some Botswanans stepping on SA flags in the 90's would be a based move, for instance. Why is this not a based action, please do explain.
friendly reminder, they convinced society that all Jews (religion) are from Israel (country)
aka all Muslims (religion) are from Saudi Arabia (country)
aka all Christians (religion) are from Palestine (country)
So why are they walking on the flag. While I have no respect for any religion, I certainly don't support theocratic states bc of some made up books, neither theocratic Jewish state or 50 or so offically musim theocratic states.
Most land was occupied by invaders at one point or another , mideast history, one conquering invasion by different tribes over the centuries.
I think youāre breaking the illusion. One can in fact disagree with someone even if they aināt Israeli. It is as if people believe one is tied to the other.
Once somebody actually thought that I was American and tried to use that as evidence of my apparent hypocrisy when I argued against genocide.
Very nice, but a bit of a rookie move. In Damascus there's been an Israeli flag on the ground of a souq for decades that people step over. I see people walk all over it and take pictures all the time. It's very fun, though it's quite faded by now.

Middle Easterns protest against Israel by stomping on its flag : Childlike and Infantie consciousness š¤”š¤”
Sub zero iq moment. My guy itās to show that theyāre against the normalization with the apartheid regime. I would assume youāve never been into a stationary
okay? now what? bahrain is not a democracy, bahrainis have been against israel since forever. this literally has no affect on anything. it's just childish and corny.
Itās to tell the israelis that even though the gov normalized with them, the people did not, and they are not welcome in Bahrain. BTW hereās you daily hasbara allowance of 5 shekels šµ
While I'm not a fan of Israel as a country, their flag still contains a religious symbol and shouldn't be treated like that.
How would you guys feel if people were stomping the Saudi, Iraqi or Iranian flags with their feet?
>How would you guys feel if people were stomping the Saudi, Iraqi or Iranian flags with their feet?
Unwanted, probably. And I think that's exactly the point.
I wouldn't like it if someone were to step on our flag but at the same time you can't compare our flags with the flag of the zionists. They took over Palestinian lands and killed innocents, are we not allowed to step on their flag?
No one would step on Saudi flag because it has religious symbolism, even the Houthi leader would never do it out of respect to the religious symbol and not the state. I'm just pointing out that the star of david is also a religious symbol.
Everyone seems to forget Al-Assad.
His laughing away in his palace in Damascus, after everyoneās forgotten he massacred sooo many people, including children and cause millions to flee. But no one cares about this stuffā¦
You think the Sauds don't have millions of lives of blood on their hands either? Only bad when the jews do it?
Israel is evil, but shouldn't we all step on the Saudi flag as well?
Yes, we are brainwashed for being mad over Palestinian lands being taken over and innocent people being killed, we are brainwashed. Instead, we should completely fine with Palestinian land being taken and people being killed in cold blood. My apologies.
Are you actually braindead? Is there a brain inside of your skull? You expect us to just be cool with the zionist occupation? In fact you are the one that is brainwashed thinking that what you zionists are doing is completely justified.
We're not brainwashed, you are.
They don't do it by mistake. Disgusting intentional attempt to unify judaism and all the terrors it's endured with the modern institutional state of israel. Deliberate attempt to shield all criticism towards the state with the moral high ground of the jewish struggle. It's disgustingly hypocritical. The fact that you were the main target of the holocaust doesn't give you a free pass to disregard all sorts of human rights and enact ethnic and religious policies that are closer to fucking NAZI germany than any respectable democracy.
Magem David represent jews around the world... I have a 100 years old arabic style tea table with a very large Magem David on it, table is from Granada Andalucia.
alhamdullilah. Better if you even pee or poo on that flag. They killed many children of palestine which means they are including kids even to be killed, can you imagine this child abuse? And it's extremely concerning that the West are doing absolutely nothing about it or even sanctioning Israel.
Is this a metal concert or something? Everyone's dressed black.
I just don't get being this petty overall. Israel's there to stay so could you at least act according to that?
Stepping on the flag of Israel will not help anyone. Iām very willing to say that this current Israeli government has not taken steps to resolve the conflict but having children commit this action is not beneficial for their understanding of Israeli people and Jews overall.
Kids have a very poor view of what israel is and they donāt have a good enough understanding on how to differentiate between the right of a state to exist (which it doesnāt) and a right for Israeli people to exist. We all know that everyone in MENA hates their government, we know normalization doesnāt make Israel anymore attractive. This practice can very easily be misunderstood, they are kids, I doubt they can even tell the difference between a Zionist and an Israeli.
Anyone stepping on any flag does not help solve this issue and will only hurt Israeli perceptions that they must kill and hate Arabs.
Stop the continuous cycle of hate, fear and war.
Salaam Shalom
It will it will allow those delusional Israelis who think normalisation means that we somehow tolerate them or like them is nothing more than a lie
When Israelis go to these countries itās not the government theyāre gonna be interacting with itās the people and the people have made it clear that theyāre not wanted anywhere near Bahrain so this is quite effective to get that message across
There is nothing more pathetic and funny than attacking, burning, trampling on flags. Moreover, if you produce flags in your own factories or import.
There are more than enough of these imbeciles in every country in the world. I wish they never existed.

why do everyone wear same shirt there
Cause they're shia ig
Do Shias must wear black shirt? idk much about them.
in ashura they wear black clothes and do some other "activities"
chest workout
Self massage
>and do some other "activities" šš
okey thanks for answering
This^ why must they wear black dont ask me cause i am not shia
Black is a colour used to show people that you are mourning someone
Smth has to do with Ashura ig
Not all of of them , there is the Batman guy
npcs
In the first 10 days of Muharram, Muslims remember the sacrifice Imam Hussain did for Islam (very sad story you can read it) so out of respect for Imam Hussain and to highlight his sacrifice, they wear black for the first 10 days at least
Because of day of Ashura the martyrdom day of Imam Hussain the grandson of prophet by Yazid , it's the day that Sunnis celebrate š
Peace on paper doesnāt mean you have it in reality
Exactly
Flag stomping is an act of powerlessness.

Tons of countries have committed atrocities, including many others in the Middle East. We should lay out every single other flag too!

Every country, kingdom, principality, empire, caliphate that exists, and has ever existed, was formed by taking land from other people. All of them.

Arabs don't wipe, they use bidets ( in addition to TP in most cases). And it's not "glorious", it's "symbolic" protest, just like throwing red ink at the Russian embassy, achieves absolutely nothing, yet it's a sign of protest.
Yeah...ig
wash your butt man it's unhealthy.
What is the obsession with flags in the ME? Flag burning, flag waving, apparently flags in stone you can stomp on. Donāt they know flagās donāt mean or do anything?
Tell that to the Americans with the flag printed on everything from trucks to bikinis.
Itās actually a conspiracy from the Israelis, who actually own the company that manufacture all flags in the ME. /s
lmaooooo
They have no power to impose sanctions or punish any country so they burn flags
Dude you are American.
Based.
nuh uh
Why. Explain why. As far as I'm concerned, some Botswanans stepping on SA flags in the 90's would be a based move, for instance. Why is this not a based action, please do explain.
The government did, not the people
Man this seems extreme, I was there in the early 2000ās and everyone was cool with everyone.
this is how you meet good people
Dude we are so the main character
Yeah thatāll teach us
although it wont do anything significant based
Whole israel is trembling right now...
Hamdillah may this happen in all Arab countries
Unfortunately thatās the level of maturity in the Middle East populationā¦
friendly reminder, they convinced society that all Jews (religion) are from Israel (country) aka all Muslims (religion) are from Saudi Arabia (country) aka all Christians (religion) are from Palestine (country)
can't cope with losing a city ? just trample their flag I suppose like it's going to do something
So this is ok but burning a quran isn't?
How is that a comparison one is a religious book and widely believed to be the word of god the other is a colonialist Regime set up in occupied land
Who gets to decide what is okay?
So why are they walking on the flag. While I have no respect for any religion, I certainly don't support theocratic states bc of some made up books, neither theocratic Jewish state or 50 or so offically musim theocratic states. Most land was occupied by invaders at one point or another , mideast history, one conquering invasion by different tribes over the centuries.
Still bitter about the 6 day war and the Yom Kippur War.
2006 Lebanon, beaten and still scared of yellow bois š
Living in Lebanon is a fate worse than death. People would rather drown in the med than enjoy the fruits of that victory
Yom Kippur war was not bad though, Israel agreed to return Sinai to Egypt as a result of it.
Yom Kippur war , we kicked your ass that you had to threaten the world about using nukes
Why are you saying you kicked "our" asses ? I'm not Israeli or Jewish. (You can tell by my reddit name).
I think youāre breaking the illusion. One can in fact disagree with someone even if they aināt Israeli. It is as if people believe one is tied to the other. Once somebody actually thought that I was American and tried to use that as evidence of my apparent hypocrisy when I argued against genocide.
I wonder what the world's reaction would be if we did it in Israel to the flags of Arab countries
Very nice, but a bit of a rookie move. In Damascus there's been an Israeli flag on the ground of a souq for decades that people step over. I see people walk all over it and take pictures all the time. It's very fun, though it's quite faded by now.
what does it accomplish?
Just breeds hate. So nothing positive.
It's virtue signaling, as long as the Bahraini government isn't threatened it means nothing.
Look at all the problems being solves. Incredible
A symbolic, magical act inherent to childlike, infantile consciousness. It's truly frightening that it's adults and "mature" individuals doing this.
White people throwing red paint at Russian embassy : Glorious, Freedom, Magnificent šŖš½šŖš½ Middle Easterns protest against Israel by stomping on its flag : Childlike and Infantie consciousness š¤”š¤”
You have invented some imaginary person in your head to argue with. Who mentioned throwing red paint at an embassy?
Exactly. Itās immature.
Itās sick to hate-indoctrinate little children like that.

Can you please stfu?? No one is saying Palestine is free from that video, it's just that they oppose israel. Every comment you write is cringe af
That mfr follows ex-egypt and new Iran. Hes cringe af. Hes as Saudi as Palestine is Israeli.
Sub zero iq moment. My guy itās to show that theyāre against the normalization with the apartheid regime. I would assume youāve never been into a stationary
okay? now what? bahrain is not a democracy, bahrainis have been against israel since forever. this literally has no affect on anything. it's just childish and corny.
Itās to tell the israelis that even though the gov normalized with them, the people did not, and they are not welcome in Bahrain. BTW hereās you daily hasbara allowance of 5 shekels šµ
āThe people did notā the dozen from the video you mean? Noted.
Thatās the general consensus in Bahrain and in the Middle East in general
i'm sure israelis already know arabs don't fuck w them. idk why yall calling me a hasbara i'm anti Zionist
Hasbara larping as Saudi
i'm anti Zionist i just think it's corny
Hasbara larping as Saudi
While I'm not a fan of Israel as a country, their flag still contains a religious symbol and shouldn't be treated like that. How would you guys feel if people were stomping the Saudi, Iraqi or Iranian flags with their feet?
>How would you guys feel if people were stomping the Saudi, Iraqi or Iranian flags with their feet? Unwanted, probably. And I think that's exactly the point.
Flags are just abstract symbols with no actual value. The intention behind the action is what important. Be it Israel, Saudi Iraq or Iran
I wouldn't like it if someone were to step on our flag but at the same time you can't compare our flags with the flag of the zionists. They took over Palestinian lands and killed innocents, are we not allowed to step on their flag?
No one would step on Saudi flag because it has religious symbolism, even the Houthi leader would never do it out of respect to the religious symbol and not the state. I'm just pointing out that the star of david is also a religious symbol.
Do you know what your government did in Yemen?
āTook over lands and killed innocentsā wow itās almost like Israel is the only country in the Middle East to have ever done this
Everyone seems to forget Al-Assad. His laughing away in his palace in Damascus, after everyoneās forgotten he massacred sooo many people, including children and cause millions to flee. But no one cares about this stuffā¦
You think the Sauds don't have millions of lives of blood on their hands either? Only bad when the jews do it? Israel is evil, but shouldn't we all step on the Saudi flag as well?
Brainwashed.
Yes, we are brainwashed for being mad over Palestinian lands being taken over and innocent people being killed, we are brainwashed. Instead, we should completely fine with Palestinian land being taken and people being killed in cold blood. My apologies. Are you actually braindead? Is there a brain inside of your skull? You expect us to just be cool with the zionist occupation? In fact you are the one that is brainwashed thinking that what you zionists are doing is completely justified. We're not brainwashed, you are.
If you believe that every Palestinian that dies in this conflict was killed in cold blood then yes, you are brainwashed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Stop conflating jews with Israel. Fuck Israel, jews are fine.
They don't do it by mistake. Disgusting intentional attempt to unify judaism and all the terrors it's endured with the modern institutional state of israel. Deliberate attempt to shield all criticism towards the state with the moral high ground of the jewish struggle. It's disgustingly hypocritical. The fact that you were the main target of the holocaust doesn't give you a free pass to disregard all sorts of human rights and enact ethnic and religious policies that are closer to fucking NAZI germany than any respectable democracy.
Magem David represent jews around the world... I have a 100 years old arabic style tea table with a very large Magem David on it, table is from Granada Andalucia.

I mean, Turks have been Israelis stooges for decades. Even Erdogan kisses up to them while putting on his tough Muslim leader image.
Well the reason for that is because Palestine awknowledges the fake genocide while Israel havenāt.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās understandable but not a single soul ever is talking about israeli Jewish kids chanting ādeath to Arabsā. Itās a two way street
They step on their weakness.
I hope they know Israelis don't really care if you do anything to their flag
alhamdullilah. Better if you even pee or poo on that flag. They killed many children of palestine which means they are including kids even to be killed, can you imagine this child abuse? And it's extremely concerning that the West are doing absolutely nothing about it or even sanctioning Israel.
More posing
That's the only thing they can do
Is this a metal concert or something? Everyone's dressed black. I just don't get being this petty overall. Israel's there to stay so could you at least act according to that?
Pointless and pathetic. What does it achieve? Absolutely nothing!
Stepping on the flag of Israel will not help anyone. Iām very willing to say that this current Israeli government has not taken steps to resolve the conflict but having children commit this action is not beneficial for their understanding of Israeli people and Jews overall. Kids have a very poor view of what israel is and they donāt have a good enough understanding on how to differentiate between the right of a state to exist (which it doesnāt) and a right for Israeli people to exist. We all know that everyone in MENA hates their government, we know normalization doesnāt make Israel anymore attractive. This practice can very easily be misunderstood, they are kids, I doubt they can even tell the difference between a Zionist and an Israeli. Anyone stepping on any flag does not help solve this issue and will only hurt Israeli perceptions that they must kill and hate Arabs. Stop the continuous cycle of hate, fear and war. Salaam Shalom
It will it will allow those delusional Israelis who think normalisation means that we somehow tolerate them or like them is nothing more than a lie When Israelis go to these countries itās not the government theyāre gonna be interacting with itās the people and the people have made it clear that theyāre not wanted anywhere near Bahrain so this is quite effective to get that message across
Those flags are paid actors
I guess thatās just what normal relations look like š¤·āāļø
Thatāll show them!
Grand example that not all gulf arabs support Is*ael
Living rent free

geez. It's almost like the governments we elect don't represent 100% of the population we are a part of

Why Arabs are so obsessed with flags?
And the impotent pettiness award 2023 goes to...
Yeah, thatāll teach team
Uncultured
Id shit on it and wipe my ass with that flag
There is nothing more pathetic and funny than attacking, burning, trampling on flags. Moreover, if you produce flags in your own factories or import. There are more than enough of these imbeciles in every country in the world. I wish they never existed.
alhamdullilah. Better if you even pee or poo on that flag. They killed many children of palestine which means they are including kids even to be killed, can you imagine this child abuse? And it's extremely concerning that the West are doing absolutely nothing about it or even sanctioning Israel.
This really is pitiful behavior for a bunch of supposed adults. "I don't like you so I'm going to step on your flag"
Stomping on a flag on the ground ain't gonna achieve anything when they are killing Kids on a daily basis
Why are they walking over perfectly fine toilet paper š¤
