Israel is destroying every single building, ethnically cleansing the whole place so they can steal it for themselves.
Not only is Europe silent on this, it is still sending weapons to make it happen.

But Tommy Robinson marches that ALWAYS lead to riots don't.
They don't care about you, they don't care about safety.
It's their politics that they are defending.
