"Neither Palestine nor Israel will ever truly be free until their societies are liberated from megalomaniacal men who perpetrate demonic acts in their name." Truth

The people I have seen whose big words crumpled the minute they are asked to do anything that demands that they stretch in any way is astonishing.
