      Research friendly fire incidents and the Hannibal directive in the IDF. No one kills Jews more efficiently than Israel.

                Thats because the tense has to agree with the subject, subject being Israel in present times, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the ‘no one’ means ‘no on in present times’. No where in grammer does verb tense indicate anything other than the subjects time.

                  This is wrong on so many levels that I hope you are joking.

                  Verbs agree in person and number with the subject. “no one” is 3. person singular. Subjects don’t have time. Only verbs have tense.

                  If subjects had tense and “no one” was present, then the sentence would still be present. In that case, you would need to use the past form of “no one” to indicate tense.

                  Rereading your comment: Israel isn’t the subject.

                    What is the past form of ‘no one’ oh right, its still ‘no one’ so OPs intent to exclude the past isn’t clear. ‘is killing’ is the conjugation to use if you want to exclude the past, literally what it’s there for.

                  Thats [sic] presently because the tense presently has to agree with the subject, subject presently being Israel in present times, it doesn’t necessarily presently mean that the ‘no one’ presently means ‘no on in present times’. No where in grammer [sic] does verb tense presently indicate anything other than the subjects [sic] time.

                  Clarified so no one would presently confuse your statement to refer presently to Old English.

        Netanyahu knew about Hamas militants moving funds from Iran and Egypt warned him about the impending attack, but he did nothing. I suppose he was preoccupied with containing protests against his judicial reforms but he may have thought letting Hamas to thrive in order to justify his fascism will do him favours. And boy he was wrong! As much as Israel have gone further right, at least they did not let themselves be hoodwinked and many ordinary Israelis have gone back to the streets to protest against Netanyahu and his failure to prevent the attack by Hamas. The opposition will have easy victory in the next election.
