Good afternoon president of Israel, this is President of US.. O Dot B..
I believe in this current state, our global stance in a nation looking to move forward, embrace change, and make a world wide equal living healthy environment.. I do HIGHLY recommend, you cease your ongoing fued with the Palestine people, cut your "Umbrella", get pon da replay and halt the "Disturbia"... Or my friend, I'll be forced to "Take you Down", it won't be "Nice" and I will CHRISS BROWN YOUR A** from "Wall To Wall". Peace up, A-town down.
Good day,
America - Land of the free (to do as they please)
