I am beyond angry at the 75% of Jews who voted for BIDEN. Israel and yes we JEWS ARE under attack. Shame on you . JEWS are blind and deaf. We must fight back with vigor and not hold back . RABBIDR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG , RABBI FOR TRUMP.
WHy doesn’t Israel bomb every gas station in Gaza? Destroy their electric grid.
Yet the democrat scum in Congress are supporting the terrorists.
Brech! Growing up on Rodney street I always thought Satmar is extreme in their opposition to the Zionist state. Now I see how right they were!
