United States Congressman calls for the deportation of all Muslims from the US.

All Jewish groups should join together to denounce this.

Tweet from Congressman Randy Fine: "Muslims calling for the destruction of Israel — after the peace deal.

It was never about Gaza.

Why did the UK allow these demons in?

We must ban Sharia in the United States and deport them ALL before this becomes us.

Religion of peace."

I think he’s clearly a prick, but that shouldn’t lead to his firing. It’s also not being truthful to suggest he’s being censured for ‘pro Palestinian’ remarks
