When you can’t make any friends because you’re fucking obnoxious, so then you take away everybody’s money because they didn’t want to be your friend. They must be anti-semites. You’ll have to punish them for not likening you by taking away their money.

“If you won’t be my friend, then I’ll rape your kids and take your money.”

It’s obvious now that stealing money and torturing children are the only values that Israel defends.

That is definitely something the “good guys” would do, right?

I know Russia has infiltrated EU political circles, and both Russia and Israel have infiltrated the US. How much sway does Israel have in the EU? Is it just lobbying, hacking, or possibly extortion (like in the States)?
