Take this whole fucking flotilla, load them onto buses, bring them to the Gaza border, and release them on the other side. Don’t let them back in, no matter how much they whine. After a year, pick up whatever is left. They wanted to go to Gaza? All dreams should come true. #hamassupporters

Well, of course, we had it tough
