Screaming it from the rooftop

There are people doing that though. Seattletimes, oxfam, wfp as saying thay aid is being turn away. They just let an aid truck in and started shooting into the crowd.

Not Hym "I don't believe Israel isn't letting aid in because if they weren't people would be screaming it from the rooftops... But I've read the reports of people screaming it from the rooftops and fails to meet a certain level of scrutiny, therefore... War... It's just war."

Hym " Pfft 🤣 WAR!? BECAUSE WAR!? THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!? WOOOOOOOW. No. Get the fuck out of here with that. Israel is preventing aid from coming in deliberately. Is the aid being sent? Yes. Is it being received by the people to whom it is being sent? Most of the time no and when it does the Israeli snipers shoot into the crowd. Who is the only obstacle to the aid being received? Israel. It's is Israel's fault. They're doing it deliberately."

Scream & Toss

A game I made up with my friends lol. You bunch up in a circle and give the ball to one another. Every time it goes around you back up a step. The person who doesn’t catch the ball when it goes around get screamed at, and the game starts over :)

“Hey you guys! Wanna play Scream & Toss?”
“Sure make sure not to drop the ball!”
