I guess not strictly news - but with all of the vitriol I have seen in discussions on the Israel situation, that have boiled down to arguments over wording, I feel that this take from the BBC is worthy of some discussion.

Mods, feel free to remove if this is not newsy enough.

    A man’s called a terrorist or liberator

    A rich man’s a thief or philanthropist

    Is one a crusader or ruthless invader?

    It’s all in which label is able to persist

    There are precious few at ease

    With moral ambiguities

    So we act as though they don’t exist

        That is the argument I’m making. Which label was able to persist? To many conservatives they still see him as a liberator.

            Now do all the people that were in the German army and that showed up to his rallies. Go ahead… we’ll wait…

            You know Donald Trump slept with Mein Kampf next to him, right? Trump loves Hitler.
