Ooohhhh, the “Facebook is a front for the Mossad” crowd is gonna LOVE this picture!!
EH

Hey it’s the man who brought nuclear weapons to the Middle East, and offered to sell them to Apartheid South Africa! Also was responsible for shelling civilians at Qana, in Lebanon.

What a nice friendly old man!

Facebook isn’t a front for Mossad, but it is disgusting to cuddle up to war criminals.

  As for a conspiracy here you go:)
