I keep hearing Hamas or Militants. I prefer the Israeli General's constant label of TERRORIST this morning! It's fitting and appropriate.

And Iran being ostensibly the nation state nurturing this butchery.

Well
thats different isnt it.

(2,708 posts)If we believe that people are naturally more inclined to put forward rational and humane governments, then we must also believe that they have been bullied, cajoled and fooled by extremists when they do the opposite.

(14,146 posts)According to which man you are, determines which one you are. Terrorist or freedom fighter.
I'm old enough to remember when Israel was the terrorist and freedom fighter after WW2.

(14,146 posts)What Does "You're a Peach" Mean?
The phrase carries the notion of someone being extremely nice, considerate, or doing something favorable. It paints a picture of a person whose actions or demeanor bring warmth, positivity, and pleasure to those around them. For example, you might call a person a peach if they help you out of a difficult situation, do a favor without expecting anything in return, or generally exhibit a kind and caring disposition.

(18,055 posts)Kind of counter productive in a rather vile sort of way. Maybe Peter O'Toole was right.
