He also said that he saw every day people who would happily been guards at Auschwitz.

In fact they're inclined to put Israel's interests ahead of Europe's. That's why, unfortunately, they can't be trusted.<br /><br />But antisemitism is like fascist or nationalist.

They did a great deal to wreck European civilisation.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.com
