Unfortunately, we can’t really do much to sway the outcome, and there’s some scary people ready to take control.

When we start seeing new FN FAL rifles showing up in the hands of Syrian "rebels" we will know NATO has "landed..."
Not exactly about Israel, but certainly has a bearing on Israel’s interests.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
