In 1945, Churchill gave a lunch in Egypt for King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia. Having been told that there could be no smoking or consumption alcohol in the presence of the king, Churchill informed his majesty that his own religion required “as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinnking of alcohol before, after, and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them. The King graciously accepted the position.”

This is a variation of "My God can beat up your God."

I took it as Churchill’s way of reminding the Saudi King that he was the guest and that he, Churchill, was the host in his capacity as Prime Minister of the Government of the United Kingdom and representative of the British Crown and Empire.
But I see what you’re saying.

1.3% of Gazans have died in Israel's war on Hamas. They call it genocide. I call it restraint.

I am no fan of Bibi Netanyahu and think too that he has to go sooner rather than later; but what I think is neither here or there.
However, what Schumer said in his capacity as Senate Majority Leader is way out of line. In that role what he says and does is of US foreign policy consequence. My opinion on Netanyahu’s suitability is of zero worth to anyone or anything.
What Schumer said is interference in Israeli internal matters. He should be called upon to resign.

These pro Hamas types need the Alex treatment in Clockwork Orange. Mechanically force them to watch video footage of Hamas in action on 7 October and its immediate aftermath.
Let them see for themselves what a little taste of and bit of the old ultra violence really looks like.

I never considered that. What a fantastic idea, and perhaps they'll get a whiff of circumspection.

Still, it I don’t think it can hurt in this case…..

I would recommend changing the soundtrack though. They do not deserve anything resembling art or even 5 and dime value.

He grew out of it all the same, though. Just the natural process of going from malchick to moodge.
