Anything but peaceful: Kites being used to set Israeli land and nature on fire for #Gaza border riots today read: “Oh sons of a Jewish woman, leave our land or we will slaughter you”. pic.twitter.com/I4ZfBO6AMR — Michael Dickson (@michaeldickson) June 8, 2018 This is the raw genocidal anti-Semitism that fuels…

Rule 1 of Clintonworld. “Nothing can ever be the fault of a Clinton.” Rule 2 of Clintonworld. “See Rule 1 or Rule 3” Rule 3 of Clintonworld: “We’re sorry to hear that you committed suicide in a D.C. park.” So nothing is Bill’s fault.
