You fucking terrorist supporters suck!
Anonym mouse, the overemphasise of the terrorist meme, helped to world to see much more clearly.
So I guess, we have to thank you and your partners in spirit, you made us take a closer look and in the process we are all learning.
What brought you here? Could it be you have a google alert set on Norman Finkelstein, just as me?
"Terrorist supporters"? Um, I do believe the USA and Israel are the real terrorists in this situation!
By the way, kudos to the University of Ottowa. I guess there's not as much pressure from the zionists on Canadian universities as there is on American campuses.
