I'm sorry Foxx, but I'll have to disagree with neutrality on this one. Call me a dumb believer all you want, but the entire country of Israel was delivered by God. Palestine has NO rights over it anymore, JUST LIVE WITH IT. Pictures of Jesus

This is ALWAYS a touchy subject, always will be. Which likely the reason why NO ONE has commented yet, but has kept quite neutral by pushing that Like button. So I'll just keep my comment neutral too! Xbox 720
