Summary: ironic
Review: it is very ironic, the way jerusalem is claimed the land of these ... no it is not them who are beign humiliated murdered and oppressed ... it is the palestinians, the christians of them and the muslims , who woke up suddenly and found that their land was taken over by people who have no heart ,... like an infectious virus
it is not them who need the sympathy it is those palestinian fathers mothers sons daughters and siblings who are living a holocaust right now! women are raped, men are tortured , abbaies are killed
why allow another holocaust to take place??? we have to stop it now]
give people what they deserve ... give them back their land
