A photographer who claimed to have been assaulted by Jews celebrating Lag Ba’Omer in Hevron has responded to allegations that the incident was fabricated, insisting that he was indeed attacked as he tried to film the event.

Coreless, hollowed out caricatures of what God created man to be.
I am amazed each day when I awake that God has yet again foregone cleansing the planet.
The heathen satan worshippers that bedevil Israel daily will meet God. They won’t like it very much.
When you see stuff like that, it’s a sign that it will certainly come to a halt suddenly.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
