I have been sent many photos along the “Does this ass … ” theme, but I’ve always been suspicious that they were PhotoShops floating around the internets. Would someone really put such a sign on his or her truck? Isn’t that disrespectful of the bitter little clingers? ...

anti-Israeli liar and agitator capable of? Maybe almost setting off violence by deliberately spreading false rumors regarding a pending Jewish destruction of the Al-aqsa Mosque.  He’s not in Egypt, or Saudi Arabia, or Yemen.  He’s right here, and he runs the nasty Electronic Intifada blog, and was active...
