I can see the anti semitic protesters who disguise themselves as left wing "peace" warriors burning israeli flags around the world, calling israels actions in gaza war crimes, and crimes against poor innocent defencless civillians, it makes me sick, its horrific how these scum will turn out in droves to protest against israel defend itself, yet Not one protest from these scum regarding syrian war crimes 5500+ dead at the hands of terrorist bashir al assad.
its double standards at its most worst.
