“Suicide.”

      this is the way of police saying “we approve of this”. they don’t believe it same therefore know that not even a cop would be dumb enough to believe it, so how would the general public believe it at all? they know no one would. but they say this because they want to signal that they don’t give a shit, is not outright encourage it, without saying it explicitly.

        I know. It’s sad and sick. I think they also do it to discourage anyone from protesting. We could pull ourselves together and surprise police, politicians, corporations with massive protests – if we could be bothered.

      Like clan criminality or something. If a foreigner dies it has to have been another foreigner

        Not actually sure if Palestinians still do clan structure.

        Palestine has historically been an incredibly urban region and Palestinian dialect is significantly different from dialects spoken by arabs in regions where clan structure is more entrenched.
