@JeremyAppel1025 That’s not even the point. The issue is that people equate the Palestinian flag as inherently symbolic of Hamas and terrorism. Hamas possesses its own flag. It is utterly ridiculous.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox When you cite Homs, rifat Assad deployed the defense companies to level the city and eradicate the brotherhood by shelling. And the heavy-handed tactics employed by the Russians in Afghan r the same tactics Putin used in Grozny. The common thread is a disregard for civilians.
