Same fellow who said this.

If I see one more Zionist activist/politician parade some archaeological finding so that the whole world accepts that we have a historic claim to this land, I'm going to convert to Islam. It's the stupidest thing I have ever seen. ...

He goes on to make the point that such things as archaeological finds verifying the Jewish history of Israel will not convince antisemites. But that means he thinks the entire world is antisemitic.

Interesting point. His points about the Alawites have floated through my thinking since the Syrian meltdown began. I hope the next president has the stones to clean out the nest of vipers hiding out at the State Department.
