Your dark humor is just wonderful. But you see, this happened to Jews before. Remember blood libel? Where did the blood libel come from? It comes from these rumors that Jews suck baby's blood. This is what they did to them. That's what's in the cup. Exactly. That's a very delicious baby. But this is what you do.

You tell people something and it happened with the Native Americans when they were here, when they went in and they wipe a whole tribe.

He said, the reason why the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is so chronic is one side has so much power and the other side have absolutely no power. And that's what Obama said. He said, you have Israel that basically don't listen to us. because they are supported by people who are bigger than the president, bigger than the administration.
