@podbaydoor Looks like Nelson Mandela Lost it too.

The temptation in our situation is to speak in muffled tones about an issue such as the right of the people of Palestine to a state of their own. We can easily be enticed to read reconciliation and fairness as meaning parity between justice and injustice. Having achieved our own freedom, we can fall into the trap of washing our hands of difficulties that others faces.

Yet we would be less than human if we did so. -NELSON MANDELA 1997

Wow, this lady totally lost it. She's totally brainwashed. Sad. I guess it's her only way to get attention.

President Mubarak did welcome you and your group. I regret you misunderstood his Middle-Eastern way of showing his affection.

I hope they'll do well.
