British PM visits Turkey: Iran, Gaza on agenda
Dear Editor, Frankly we don’t mind some European Prime Minister slandering Israel to get a warm reception from another anti-Semite. This has been a Gentile pastime by politicians for centuries and a proven way to cement friendship between the nations. … Continue reading
