There is no dispute of that fact either. The Jewi… Continue

The creators justify their actions with the following comment. I've highlighted the bit that gives the game away: "Muslims are known to be extremists so we poke fun at them. We just like pissing off groups who take… Continue

Political Zionism is Born

In 1897, the First Zionist Congress was held in Basle, Switzerland. At this Congress, it was decided to work toward the establishment of a Jewish state and a search for land on which to build this Jewish state began. Great Britain offered the Zionists land in Africa.
