PRAYER FOR PALESTINE FROM A JEW:Let us help them to create something extraordinary,just as we have for ourselves-it is in our best interest to do so! Let us help them to build a home they will love with all their hearts, as we love Israel with all of ours.! Let's teach each other how to win non-zero sum games. We are both great nations-let us never forget this!Let us nurture peace with both our enemies and our friends, and recognize that they are a mirror...reflecting light unto the nations.

The continuous applause and pandering to the crowd is embarrassing.

Mona proves there is no such thing as moderate Muslim. You can be infected with HIV and not have symptoms of AIDS. All Muslims carry the virus of insanity. It is hidden until it suddenly manifests itself. Mona is not stupid. She is carrying the virus of the insanity of Islam. Her act of misdemeanor and vandalism trying to bully people into silence while being convinced that it is her right to act in such despicable fashion can only be understood if you know the effect of Islam on Muslim mind.
