This is how Germans see it: poor Israel army must shoot Palestinians in #Gaza because bad Hamas uses them as shields.

No snipers murdering women and children, no planes dropping 1,000 kg bombs on tents, no destruction of infrastructure by IDF, no nothing on genocide.

Look at the photo and you understand @Bundesregierung and @APoD , this is their world, 100,000 dead and insured or international law or human rights don't happen there. Only Israeli propaganda.
