Thanks to the first amendment for allowing me to say that. So Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and d-bag extraordinaire, has said that Hamas can be trusted in a Middle East peace deal. First off, in Islam lying to Israelis is perfectly acceptable. I found a scholarly work [...]

Israel has offered a 1,000 to 1 prisoner exchange and open Gaza border crossings to get captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit back home. Through indirect talking between Israel and Hamas, Egyptian officials relayed the message to Hamas and Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram. This is quite an offer for one soldier. I have said many times [...]

Six million Jews died under the Nazis in the Holocaust. It was a planned, organized, systematic genocide of the Jewish people. Roughly half of all Jews in the world were killed in the shoa.
