Battling th me Jew Haters here is getting hard enough.
The final blow to these morons was today. Israel DOES NOT tell the US what to do. If anything, it is the other way around.

Very true, so it’s wise to remember that the British Mandate in Palestine, established in the wake of WWI and the exploits of Lawrence of Arabia, was punitively in favor of the arriving Jews populating the region.
Once Britain and Germany became warring enemies, everybody had to pick sides. Since the Mandate Jews had British protection, you can’t really blame the Arab-Palistinians from seeking allies where they found them — such as Germany and Italy.
History has lots of lessons if you read ALL of it.
There is no such thing as Palestine. It was called such by the Romans. God gave the land to the Jews and it was always Israel.
I’m antiantisemetic. No one gives a d@mn if you’re a decendant of Sham.
