WHAT IF THE MURDERERS, THE PALES, START TO BUY ALL “Toys R Us” ISRAELI MADE CARS WITH WHEELS AND CHASIS' AND ALL THE OTHER WONDER-COMPONENTS UPON AND BELOW THIS MIRACELOUS TRUCKS? WILL THEY, THE INHUMANELY SQUIZED MUSLIM BY THEIR MASTER DEVIL ALLAH, SUDDENLY BE ABLE TO FLY AWAY SITTING ON THIS MIRACELOUS ISRAELI-MADE BABY CARS AND DISSAPPEAR UNPUNISHET JUST LIKE THAT? HOWEVER, BRAVO TO JEWISH THINKING AND SOLUTIONS, MAINLY THAT IRON DOME ROCKETS SEEMS TO BE FAR, FAR CHEAPER THAN IRAN-MADE FLYING DEATH THE PALES USE…
By the time the Muslims figure out what's going on with Toys R Us cars, the world will be advanced in five more generations of technology lifting mountains with anti gravitational devices.
