The terrible Hamas lie that ‘the Jews did this’ spreads around the world

In an episode of the medical drama “House,” the patient at the center of the mystery is a brilliant physicist who has intentionally made himself dumber.

He takes a careful mix of the drug dextromethorphan and alcohol every day, which lowers his IQ — but only while under the influence of the cocktail.He does this because he finds it less stressful and less lonely to live in ignorant bliss.

The ubiquitous image of the boy’s skeletal frame in his mother’s arms is indeed heartbreaking. Terribly sad as well is the fact that the boy is now fatherless.
