16. Hasn't he already (in all but "name") anyway? Enough of his blackmail.

He's proven he's no damned Democrat anyway. As to his dedicated support for Israel? Well, "with friends like him," I'd say those most concerned with the future of Israel better look elsewhere. He sure as hell is no friend to Israel.

Damn. Let him fucking leave and at least we won't have to listen to his whining and threats anymore.
