Anti-American Israeli demonstrator: “At some point, Israel will survive and America will fall”

Yitzhak Rabin’s killers target Obama

In October 1995, Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu appeared before thousands of right-wing demonstrators in Jerusalem’s Zion Square to deliver a stinging denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the Oslo Accords he had signed two years earlier. “Death to Rabin!

    I these Haredi in Brooklyn. No one should consider these larcenous inbred freaks in the video above as representative of the very genetically diverse world Jewery. These Haredi DO NOT recognize the legitimacy of Israel. Most Jews that do demand that Israel abide by Obama’s policy. Netanyahu exploits these creatures at his own peril as they never do something for nothing. Since Israel gave them the Arab land, Israel should take it back, for Israel’s sake.
