Not that you care what I think, but for a once-renowned Pittsburgh brand, I'm ashamed to have ever spent a dime in your stores. Never again. Your business should sleep with the fishes.
The Israelis are not only engaging Hamas ('Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades) and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (al-Quds Brigades), but also the PFLP's Martyr Abu 'Ali Mustafa Brigades (top) and the DFLP's National Resistance Brigades' Martyr al-Qasam Forces.
