    Shall I continue?

    I shall!

    Dear Israel and your Zionist supporters,

    You are the only nuclear power in the Middle East.

    You have the most advanced Air Force in the Middle East.

    You have Israel-firsters dominating the Pentagon.

    You dominate and censor American media.

    You own members of Congress.

    You are seated at the head of the IMF and the World Bank.

    You are surrounded by nations that not once, I repeat, NOT ONCE, attacked you since 1973.

    Your Palestinians are starved, poor, underdeveloped. They throw stones and coffee-can rockets which can barely break windows. That is your "grave enemy."

    You provide illegal settlements where grown men throw rocks at Palestinian schoolchildren.

    You bulldoze homes against international law.

    And yet you wonder why you are hated. You wonder why people strap bombs to themselves in order to kill you. You wonder why anti-Semitism just doesn't seem to go away.

    You are the biggest fucking pussies, the loudest fucking whiners, the most spoiled, coddled, ungrateful, selfish fucking assholes on this planet.
