Jews made every country of their residence prosperous – and prospered there. Jewish socialists achieved the opposite, they bankrupted both the communist Russia and ... http://samsonblinded.org/blog/make-the-economy-jewish.htm The peace treaty with the Palestinians doesn’t seem close, unless the Bush-Rice duo orchestrates a major political assault on Israeli government. Even so, Palestinian state exists de facto: with president, parliament, and even many countries’ embassies. Does anyone protest the media calling Abbas Palestinian president? Olmert negotiates the borders of Israel ... http://samsonblinded.org/blog/peace-luckily-is-not-forever.htm The Final Solution wasn’t a German invention, but a collaborative effort by the Christian world.
