Two options: 1. Eliminate all public philosophy forever 2. Kill one shrimp Which do you choose?
חיילים, סדיר ומילואים, הורים של חיילים, סבים של חיילים, כבר אין דרך אחרת: סרבו לשרת בעזה. סרבו, סרבו, סרבו. החטופים ומשפחותיהם האומללות נבגדו בידי ממשלת ישראל. הרעב ההמוני בעזה הוא עובדה מחרידה ונחרצת. ההרג היומי במרכזי חלוקת המזון איננו הגנה עצמית אלא פשע מלחמה מזעזע. החוק…

I wonder what the Jubilee dating app that they plan to launch will look like
This strange person has done entire segments ranting about the Obamas' marriage lol.
