  1. Wonderful news! That’s because fewer children are being kidnapped, some killed for organs, thanks to closed borders. Also because criminal doctors killing patients were coronavirused.

    • On the contrary, it’s bad news for Matzav’s writers of foolish comments like the one above (May 12, 2020 a 3:41 am). They are badly in need of brain transplant and the corona virus epidemics stands in the way.
