The phrase 'people like us' came to mind, as in the disbelief of seeing the horrors of war affecting white European people in Ukraine. If popular movements in the west don't succeed in defeating this genocide, it's only a matter of time before this kind of open, unhinged racist fanaticism becomes a matter of course for ordinary westerners. (Of course, when it comes to western attitudes towards colonised people around the world it's always been like that if you scratch the surface.)
Really sick stuff, you can see the hate written all over their faces, and the sly grin when they say 'kill them all' or indicate all Palestinians should be starved, transported away or killed, shows they know this was never about Hamas, but an all-out assault on Palestinians. Hearing it from the young girl (6.30) with such a powerful emotional charge was especially revealing because you know that's how her family have been speaking in private, only they have more of a veneer of expediency and calculation when speaking to the press.
jeers,
