Fuck this man. I hope he is going someplace very hot for all his actions that have caused such pain and suffering, for both Israel and the people he is claiming to defend. He has loads of blood on his hands, from the Munich Olmpics in 1972 to for his complete inability to help the peace process. Terrorist turned statemen my ass. As Dennis Miller once said "This man used to blow up AIRPLANES! Why are we celebrating him?"
