Such logic!We can now say goodbye forever to all those icons and religious relics which the Turks have sold off after pilferaging the occupied Churches.
- Your continuing undying support of the ways and means of fascist Imperialist invaders is most 'commendable'.
Look bonny lass and read all of what I said about the current complete illegitamacy of the illegal occuption regime. I have consistently condemned the continuing illegal occuptaion by Turkey, the illegal transfer of property lawfully owned by refugees to Settlers and carpetb*ggers, the desecration of churches, etc, so wind your neck in, bonny lass. With a comment like that you risk becoming a troll!
