Israel embraces corruption and yet the world embraces Israel

So Israel is racist and corrupt, that’s quite a combination. Must make so many Zionists very proud: Israel ranks among the most corrupt countries in the Western world, according to a study released by the International Transparency Organization on Tuesday. Out of 178 countries – 1 being least corrupt – Israel was listed at number…

Let’s not starve them in Gaza but getting close would be fun

What kind of democratic state would do this? That’s right, Israel isn’t a democracy for Arabs, so this kind of blatant racism is just another day at the office: In the three years since Hamas took control of Gaza, Israeli officials have employed mathematical formulas to monitor foodstuffs and other basic goods entering the Strip…
