‘Hang their heads in shame’: Greens senator slammed for 'disgraceful' social media post

IMMEDIATELY, they were attacked by racist Muslims who believe that they are to usher in "the last hour" by slaughtering Jews. This very "prophecy" is recorded in the Hamas Charter and is believed by ALL Muslims: "The last hour won't come before the Muslims would fight the Jews and the Muslims will kill them so Jews would hide behind rocks and trees. Then the rocks and tree would call: oh Muslim, oh servant of God! There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." Clearly, we in the West cope with immigration, but not so the Muslims.
