"this is a positive at least for Jews, there finally came the creation of Israel."
"Other than that, how was the play, Ms. Lincoln?"
If you think any of us think this is a positive, if you think none of us would be willing to trade Israel for the lives of the victims and what they had before Hitler, you have your head so far up your ass you should cut a hole in your belly button and use it for a window.
