23. Just enough to scare the others away...

But not enough to awaken the willfully-blind and propagandized conscience of our so-called Western "leaders".

But as the killings become more and more normalized, watch for the numbers to creep up... What will our brave leaders do then? Sanction one more West Bank settler? Issue vague threats of unspecified "consequences" that never materialize? Join Israel's destruction of Iran? All of the above? Feckless in the face of genocide!
