You claim to be an emeritus professor, which only goes to prove that the Western-style of reductionist training , can deliver a working brain of sorts. Only such a intensely limited intellect can be morally bankrupt enough to make such a despicable comment about a people who have been suffering continuously under the Zionist/fascist boot and are right now, being bombed, and starved. Shame on you, Ira Rampil. Yours is the grossest comment I have read from otherwise quite decent, civilised discourse on Medium.
