Re: Israel, land of milk and honey

I can't think of a single antisemitic slur that, were it true, would be more shameful to the Jewish people than what "the Jewish state" is doing to the Gazans. What they do in "peacetime", when no one is watching, is much worse than what they do in war. The torture chamber is a ...

Is there a racial difference between Jews, Arabs, Beduins and Druze?  First - humans are not dogs, there are some ethnic differences between different human populations, but no serious scientist calls them "racial." There is only one human race. Of course, some people talk about races, su...
