Your attempt to make Arab-hating racists look good are almost humorous. Little Tich Oct 2016 #6

Huh? oberliner Oct 2016 #12

Most of those quotes are about terrorists who murder Jews, right? shira Oct 2016 #8

Nope - let's take a closer look at these nice statements in context: Little Tich Oct 2016 #13
