Then there can be genuine peace and harmony.
This sh!t keeps up and the next thing we will see is Israel giving up bunches of hate filled terrorists in return for 1 normal God fearing human being or something of the like in an exchange....
Naw, even politics couldn't make for such a stupid decision.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
