Why would an agreement even have to me written if it were an actual and universal truth (that moslem shouldny kill moslem)

They know their time is up…

they only exist to hate israel..

no “greivance” = no power

"Masterful politics" this time around? - there must be a few people who study history. The second time around shows limited imagination and should arouse some suspicions. Not so the first time.
