Iran! Not on your life time. If you want an Arab state, open a city in Iran. Not in Israel.
Aliza Circle
Do you think that Hamas are going to listen to you? You are delusional.
Aliza Circle
Egypt! Where were you when Hamas dug tunnels which goes from Gaza to Egypt? What have you done to stop them from killing 1,200 citizens and soldiers, and kidnapped 250 others?
Aliza Circle
Good! I hope that Jack Smith will spend couple of years in prison.
Aliza Circle

Aliza Circle
The citizens of Shomron should shoot the Arabs riots who attack the Agricultural region. Why no one wants to understand that Arabs would never change.

Aliza Circle
MK. Know that right now the Arabs are rioting, and would do anything to harm Jewish ✡️ people in Israel 🇮🇱 and the 🇮🇱 IDF. Kick them out before they hurt any Jew ✡️.
Aliza Circle
One day something will happen to them, and then they will feel the pain that our hostages feel.
Aliza Circle
