@btrask3 LOL You should do comedy? I'd laugh at you!

This is an example of what happens when women are in charge... most do not know history, they do not believe that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations holding innocent Palestinians hostage, without regard to their future. This women should be released from prison but confined to the kitchen where she belongs.

[jamaicanification]

it is not right to condemn a whole set of people like that saying "israel is evil", i dont believe in that. At the same time i do realize the crimes that are being perpatrated in the gaza strip and equally those must be condemned. two wrongs do not make a right, and the people of israel and palestine must find a way to co-exist without resorting to violence. For in the end, whether palestinian or israeli, arab or jew, we are all children of god and must recognize that fact.

Israel is so very evil, God is not happy with them and it's hard for me to see them as people of a HOLY place. I really believe what another person had said, they said the Israelis now are really Europeans because at one time they was from some where close to Germany. The USA and Israel better back off GAZA because GOD is not laugh at all in fact he's working on a plan and I hope Im on my vacation to Jordan by then if it happen around that time. PEACE!

The only thing I ever purchased that was made in Israel was Corriander leaf. I am now growing it myself. The new shoots are just starting to emerge.
