@RememberUsAlways @palestine @israel @lebanon @syria @iran @yemen I don't know that you need to be that philosophical about it. You lay down with terrorists, you're a terrorist. Just because you run a state doesn't mean you're not a terrorist when you sleep with terrorists. If the collapse of the terrorist organization "hiding" in your state collapses your state, then you were either fucking or getting fucked by the terrorists all along.

If you don't want a lower class person to murder you with a gun in public, then consider passing some strict gun laws.

Or maybe just don't be subhuman shit, playing with the lives of millions for laughs and profit. Dunno, I'm just spitballing here.
