The Shogun Pack -- a collaboration between Team Fortress 2, the TF community, and Total War: Shogun 2 -- descends upon you like a rising sun!

It's obvious: all nations that are controlled by Jews boycott all criticism of Jews.

No dominant culture or nation ever criticizes itself: period..

No Empire has ever criticized itself.

All powers that deserve criticism cannot endure criticism for the simple reason that the criticism is right. T

If they did: their power and authority would be eroded.

The only time criticism is censored is when the criticism is correct and deserved.

Lets also not forget why there are checkpoints in the west bank. They were only put up after hundreds of maniac suicide bombers on innocent civilians.

Arabs have an interesting double standard. They use their own children as suicide bombers and send them as often as they can through the west bank then cry that israel builds a wall to stop them and calls it "apartheid" They fire 10 000 rockets on to innocent targets in israel and then claim nazism when israel boards ships to check for missiles

i love how the arab speaker says israel is worse then apartheid south africa. Yes israel the country that allows 1.5 muslims within its broders to lvie with equal rights, to own land. To be members of parliment. To teach, go to the same schools and parks and hospitals and virtually are the same as anyone else. Yet forgets saudi arabia that doesnt even allow jews in to its borders and beheads gays as well as women who are misbehaving not to mention appostates.

what genocide? under 10 000 palestinains in 60 years is not genocide. The population of gazans has more then quadrupled in the past 60 years. Genocide is more like Sudan, Somalia, Darfur, Iran, Iraq, Saudi arabia, And almost all islamic majority states that practice either genocide or apartheid upon millions on a daily basis. Nice try though

it's funny how the converence against racism is the perfect example of racism... equallying zionism (the desire of jews to return to their homeland) to racism (to exclude somebody, like they are doing with israel) is just absurd.

[IBeatUpThugs]

@lail111 I can not talk to you if you need to knowingly lie to make your points. Genocide? I already questioned you how their is possibly a genocide when Palestinians have such a high growth rate? And again the Hamas government calls for genocide on Jews, yet there is no Israeli call for genocide of Palestinians or Muslims. Please stick to facts if you want to talk, I will not waste time with yet another person who feels ok intentionally lying about Israel to spread antisemitism.

@lail111 "Muslims across the globe condem their actions!muslim countries and mosques work closely with governbments to bring them to justice."

Pure comedy. Where are all these Muslims condemning the suicide bombers? I have never seen any. I just see the racist Muslims like yourself excusing suicide bombers, then protesting about the Israeli security measures.Only thing you protest is Israel protecting themselves from suicide bombers, because like most Muslims you support murder of Jews.
