Asma and Bashar Assad - Jewishnews
Syrian President Bashar Assad said that people currently in charge of Israel paled in comparison with older generation leaders and behaved like children, messing with the country, the New Yorker has reported.
“You need a special dictionary for their terms….

They [Al Qaeda] only want to die in the field.” continue reading…
