It's interesting who we call terrorists and who we don't. If an Arab nation or organization had done this it would have been called a terrorist attack. Israel does it and people defend it.

Most of the Olympic shooters use fancy gear like special eyepieces and what not. This guy Yusef Dikec from Turkiye rolled up without all that, stuck one hand in his pocket, shot with both eyes open and took silver along with his partner Sevval Tarhan.

If something can be misused for political leverage, it will be.

My childhood home phone number is more burned into my memory than my current phone number.
