So the nuclear winter will happen because some people couldn’t agree on a plot of sand in the desert. Good to know. It was a good ride, folks.
The only people who don’t agree are a binch of zionists.

Yepp, that’s it. Sand. What an absolutely moronic and simpleminded thing to say.
Way to show you understand nothing about what is happening over there. Good job, little dog.
I’ve lived there for several years. I’m being facetious obviously. You guys are the perfect example of virtuous indignation.
You can lie all you want. It’s the internet, after all.
What a banal thing to lie about.
