Hamas being ostensibly the governing authority in archipelago Palestine.

And Iran being ostensibly the nation state nurturing this butchery.

I thought they were just a few rag tag militants and Gaza Palestinians were innocent as driven snow. That’s what some here keep arguing. You mean they chose Hamas as their leadership in a referendum?

Well… that’s different isn’t it.

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.

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.

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.

Kind of counter productive in a rather vile sort of way. Maybe Peter O'Toole was right.
