*sips tea* it's dumb crossovers time
I guess here King Arthur was a real dude who became legend after his death (in which demons and angels might have been involved). Our heroes now have a mystery to solve, with the help of a certain sorcerer.......

This video is from 2021 but still holds true to this day.
It's of a Palestinian child telling an Israeli soilder to get off her land.
And this, this is unironically the biggest threat to Israel.
That the people of the world are not with them.
That they are exposed as the illegal occupation colonising land that does not belong to them, while they try to wipe out the indigenous Palestinian population.
A six year old child telling them this land isn't there's, that's what they are most afraid of.
50% of Gaza is made up of children like this.
This is who Israel want to wipe out.
Hamas even used a recording of 2 children speaking in Arabic and the Israeli soilders came running.
Not because they knew Hamas was there, but because they heard the sound of children and came running with their guns.
They are the terrorists.
They are the ones carpet combing civilians, killing Palestinians and Israeli civilians.
They are the monsters.
But they aren't feared.
