Aren’t you going to make any ignorant crack about his Jewish heritage?
This is one of the most obscenely antisemitic and racist forums I have ever seen in my life.
I can’t believe one thread about a Jewish guy doesn’t say something ignorant.
I will fill in.
Let me channel your —— site for a second….
Enough. I am not anti-semitic. Even though I am not Jewish I love Jewish people. I am the most passionate Zionist you will find, and I find Jewish people very friendly and likable. Don’t call my website names if you can’t even make factual charges!!!
