Zionist lobby’s achievements are seen in the maddest colonies

Asked whether they would favor using U.S.…
Settlements must be excluded night and day
A noble attempt by a nation that actually realises indulging illegal colonies does nothing for peace: The Netherlands on Sunday cancelled a tour of the country by a forum of… Israeli mayors because their group included representatives of West Bank settlements.

I ask several questions about this hideous man:…
