G-d Bless Israel!

Genesis 12:3

[FiREFLYSerenity408]

I believe that the sick extremist ideology of Islam wants to destroy Israel...this is not about land, this is about ideology. That is why I support Israel. India is also supporting Israel as well, including an overwhelming majority Americans, like me.

@cgdoherty

I haven't laughed so hard since that red haired girl tried to stop the bulldozer with her FACE!!!

[unit731gamer]

You guys the pro israel and pro usa can bark like dogs all like you want , you seem to forgot who participated in this video, it's teachers in political sciences and all the world now who are the murderers in all country there are strikes against israeli usa and the sionist. The truth is being known, and your end is soon. And the fact is the majority of ppl here are racist against the black and arabs, that's a fact, just read the comments dogs.

@pondman27 the Nazis in the Middle East are the Islamonazis such as al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestnian Islamic Jihad, and others that supports them, the innocent people are the Israelis and the other Muslims being used by the Islamonazis. It is odd that you don't get that, because like I said, since you are in the UK, the Islamonazis are running wild on the streets of London and Luton. The Gaza War was a war against the Islamonazis backed by Iran and Syria, two dangerous Islamonazi states.

[FiREFLYSerenity408]

@pondman27 Hey pondman27, the rest of humanity?! You think the Palestinian terrorists such as Hamas, Palestinin Islamic Jihad, and others are like the rest of humanity? Yeah, that means that the Muslim Brotherhood should be part of them as well. Since you live in the United Kingdom, you should know better. Go to the ghettos of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Luton, and elsewhere and see the Islamonazis running your country, you are blind to see that they are a threat to your country.

[pondman27]

@FiREFLYSerenity408 The Nazis (sponsored by those infamous cabalistic bankers and their sick puppets) built walls, watch towers and barbed wire, They interned innocent people and conducted experiments on them. Oddly how history follows these demonically driven entities and how they rebuild the same methods.

The events in Gaza are not a war, they are the progressive ethnic cleansing and imprisonment of the indigenous peoples of the Holy Lands whose land has been stolen and lives ruined.

@FiREFLYSerenity408

The only really brainwashed dupes I see in this place, are those that have come to regard themselves of some how different from the rest of humanity. When the veil was lifted and we could behold both what is really behind the subversion of nation after nation, we find the real terrorists. How few of you realise the stupefying extent of your own ridiculous proclamations and how they come to mark you as one of the possessed into a condition that is less than human. 

[FiREFLYSerenity408]

@1spiders1 lol. oh really, you think so??! You think they are going to search for me on Facebook to find where I live. LOL. oh please, go join Osama bin Laden and a bunch of dirty lowlife towelheads in the caves of Pakistan and Afghanistan and there..you can suck up to them all you want. it is no wonder why people like yourself bomb cars such as the one in Stockholm, Sweden, please go get a life loser.

[1spiders1]

@FiREFLYSerenity408 the Taliban are going to kick your ass, you tube kurassan Taliban, watch the interview they are coming for your sorry asses. the greatest army ever assembled by man kind nato can not over come them you bitches can not fight you know that very well.

[FiREFLYSerenity408]

@Julviano LOL. I feel sorry for you, you are one of those people who have been brainwashed by the pro-Islamists and pro-Marxist/Commmunist ideology in the United Kingdom. And by the way, I thank the United Kingdom for helping the United States fighting the Islamonazi Muslims like the ones in the UK in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I will continue my support for Israel 100%, hahahahahha, stop being a girlie man.
