Oh, fuck you, you posturing GOP crybabies. Also, do you clowns realize that by using a trip to Gaza as punishment, you’re acknowledging that the conditions are unfit for the citizens who live there, many of whom are innocent?
Although I’d prefer it if religion was kept out of the equation entirely, I will admit that taking absurdity to its logical conclusion is very satisfying to read about. These judges kick ass.

I’m sure this will be endlessly delayed by every kind of legal maneuver possible, and I personally don’t expect the sentence to include prison time, but I don’t care. The motherfucker has been found GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS. That’s good enough for me.
