  • Really

    This clown really said Jews lived there best life under Muslims. And Lazer just accepted it and had zero rebuttal. You got to be kidding me

    Have you no pride in impartiality? Such anti Netanyahu propaganda makes everyone question your veracity.

  • Why offer commentary on America

    Why does the Times of Israel run a special episode to offer commentary on America. Taking the left stream media at face value and then repeating their propaganda is pointless. It does make me question the reliability of the Times news. When left stream media propaganda targets Israel the Times calls them out. When the left stream media targets others it appears you automatically buy in. Is the only reason you disagree with leftist propaganda is because you think Israel is always right.
