Somehow, we forget the honest truth because when lies are repeated often enough, they turn into facts...

> In the flotilla, your well-trained commandos got the situation in hand

> You say Israel is a Jewish country. And then you say you are willing

> You say the Temple Mount is yours. But you let the Arabs destroy
