Valentine’s Day Bigger than Christmas

Valentine’s Day has no religious basis, so everyone in the Middle East can – and does – celebrate it.

Ghost of Christmas Future:

Rick, Rick, Rick,...

I am the spirit of Christmas future.

If the Arab invaders and Islamist crazies drive the Zionists out of the Middle East, then all that will be left is Islamist totalitarian tyranny, Arab corruption, and Islamic racist intolerance.

Not a pretty picture Rick, not a pretty picture at all.

Think of the children Rick, the children who will suffer. There will be no prosperity, tolerance, diversity, or economic future.

Roads paved with Jewish tombstones will be the end of any future for the Arabs in the Middle East.

Be careful what you wish for Ebeneezer... I mean Rick.

The future can be changed, but you must change now.

I am the last Spirit that will visit you this Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas, haibi.

Daoud says:

“Today the Wall chokes off the city physically, economically, and socially from Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the north of the West Bank.”

Just as the Zionist invader chokes the very life from the region. As long as the racist Zionist invaders and land thieves occupy the West Bank and Gaza there will never be peace. Oh yes, they may have withdrawn from Gaza, but they still control its borders, suppress its economy, and limit its basic resources like water, fuel and electricity.

As long as the racist Zionist war criminals continue to hog 80% of the water supply while denying the Palestinians the minimum required to maintain health, there will never be peace.

Actually, it is not just the “occupied territories” that is the problem. It is the occupation of the entire pre-1947 Palestine that is the problem. Until the racist Zionist war criminals vacate the Middle East, there will be no peace.
