Bibi lies again…Trump and Bibi…oh shit…the Anti-Christ, and the Destroyer of the Mosque and Builder the Temple on the ruins of the Mosque…Zion, is a self fulfilling prophecy, based on the End Days scripture…so, peace with Palestine was never an option…WWIII…this will be on Trump’s head…watch closely as the Trump/Putin/Iran unholy alliance who will stab Bibi in the back, while smiling to his face…Bibi is desperate and looking for a sympathetic friend and he was counting on the USofA, just like always…

The resolution passed unanimously. Trump’s BFF Putin supported the measure. So what’s the big deal?

“Secretary of State John Kerry warned that the two-state solution is in serious jeopardy.”
I would also much prefer Kerry telling Bibi that his 50 billion dollar
allowance was in jeopardy as well…

I heard rump taught the “how to properly bribe 101” class and bibi was his best student.

How much more money than the biggest $38B foreign aid the US has recently granted Israel for it to show a modicum of gratitude?
Nothankyou is definitely the president of the racist, war loving GOP Israel branch.
He’ll be the happiest when the first black US President is out of the White House that he and the GOP think is for Whites only.
