Israel’s male flagbearer at Friday’s opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is believed to have signed bombs prior to them being fired against the Palestinians in Gaza, Anadolu has reported. Peter Paltchik, 32, used social media to show him writing “From me to you with pleasure” on munitions destined for Gaza.

    I’m staying on topic? If the accusation is true, did Peter Paltchick who is being scrutinized here, knowingly sign bombs that were dropped on innocents or not?

        No I don’t. But at the same time you have to realize it’s a war. And war is ugly no matter what. Innocents get killed and it’s awful. But Israel has a right to defend itself and eradicate those who constantly attack them. Otherwise the war will go on forever.

          Where does that right come from? Being on the land that they brutally colonized? Maybe if they hadn’t spent the last few decades trying to eradicate an entire population, no one would be accusing them of genocide. As it stands, the accusations are historically accurate.

      He knowingly signed bombs, doesn’t really matter to me who’s children it killed, he’s a psychopath.
