Not to be confused with ham-ass, a charcuterie specialty, unfortunately frowned upon by both Hamas and Hamaas
ETA: but highly praised by David Cameron
Is it etymologically related, in the way that “salaam” and “shalom” are, or is this just a particularly spicy coincidence?
The terror org Hamas’s name is an acronym, but was afterwards glossed to mean strength or zeal. That vaguely fits, so maybe? But I’m no expert on Proto-Semitic etymology.
Terror org? The fuck? I didn’t realize that fighting for your freedom from a brutal oppressor made you a terror org.
Do you call native Americans terrorists too?
This the first time you’ve heard the classic phrase “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”?
Because yes, oppressors always see oppressed freedom fighters as terrorists, because the only way to get your freedom from an oppressor is to take it, usually by force.
