If you beat a dead camel long enough it will still spout lies that are believed to be truth!
Came from drinking beer and eating pork rinds while no one was looking.
Actually I’m surprised that rats aren’t fed “Arafat Poison”.
Extreme Self Delusion plus (alleged) epidemic inbreeding in sectors of the muslim culture make for a lousy loser of a Middle Eastern neighbor.
Also that Jewish doctors are injecting black babies with HIV. Both are equally ludicrous.
