Everyone that read project 2025, pretty much.
But we still have to wait for the IDF to finish the investigation into which unit was told exactly where Hind was and that paramedics were on their way and still ended up shooting both her and a clearly marked ambulance. Those things are just hard to figure out, you know.
Guess it was more important to make sure children kept getting massacred than winning the Muslim vote in Michigan.
