Latest iran cartoon shows anne frank in bed with hitler and hitler says--"now go and add this to your diary". Apparently the new great white leader in iran has directed their media to create andti-jewish holocaust cartoons for the muslim world. Leon has no problem with this because he hates both his american and jewish roots. Denmark is a nice place and if necessary the US will bail them out too--unfortunately some of this will go to Leon and his wife Burka.

This is not a true statement. In 1967 Israel pre-emptively struck Egypt, admittedly in response to a military build up close to its borders by Egypt, Jordan and Syria.

The following link gives a good brief history from Sykes-Picot to modern day.

You know that you took my quote out of context."
Not intentionally.

"There is not a significant muslim population in my community. I must rely upon the media and the internet to gather that information."
The media's job is to make money not necessarily present facts or understanding.

The following was vetoed by the US.

"Emphasizing the importance of the safety and well-being of all civilians in the whole Middle East region, and condemning in particular all acts of violence and terror resulting in the deaths and injuries among Palestinian and Israeli civilians,"
