some people still tell me that you are anti-semitic, and jews want to
make peace with arabs.

This son of pigs and monkeys doesnt say 400+, he say 300+..
The Palestinian deportees who among them doctors, engineers, and
muslim ulamah are called garabage or "animals" as Rabin put it.

There is no question that these sons of pigs and monkeys are
experiencing a major hysteria.
