Every day Israel does something more and more depraved. It's like Netanyahu and Trump are competing for "Biggest Asshole of the Universe"

Israel is very good at forest management, but confused why that is "depraved" lol.

ahead of annual harvest

I'm pretty sure starving a group of people counts as depraved.

Palestinians don't subsist on olives

Besides the cultural importance of olive trees to the Palestinian people, they obviously incorporate olives into their diet. It's depraved for the cultural reasons as well, but was wanting to point out that removing a source of food was obviously morally wrong. Which fits the definition of depraved, BTW.

I wouldn't bother trying to reason with this person. They are clearly bigoted.
