Website title:

..certified by Ashurbanipal on an Akkadian tablet from Nineveh in 700 B.C.

"The army saw you and donned their weapons.
The governor, who had treated Babylon well, became enraged,
Directed his troops to loot like enemy looters,
Incited the leader of the army to crime,
"You are the man whom I shall send to that city!
You shall respect neither god nor man.
Put young and old alike to death.
You shall not leave any child, even if he still sucks milk.
You shall pillage the accumulated wealth of Babylon."

How's that for topping Psalm 137:8-9? Even those Babylonian infants who suck milk, Farid. Wow - what an improvement over those sheep-shit herding Hebrews, ha?

Sama goo do pomoukh.
