Similarly, the fact that 'praising' (for lack of a better word) the likes of Hamas in the context of supporting the notion of Palestinian resistance is somehow deviant strikes me as a sinister attempt to control the narrative, seeing as when Britain was running the gaff as 'oppressors' Jewish paramilitaries used to kill our soldiers and blow hotels up with car bombs.
