Day 1,573: untenable

Will Israel’s agony and retribution end in chaos or stability?

Quote of the day
“Fanatics can justify practically any atrocity to themselves. The more untenable their position becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the worse the things they are willing to do to support it.”
