What kind of father would call one of his sons, his best son?

I know it is the policy of the Israeli Government to do this to the families of monsters like him, and I think it is a good policy. The only thing they do wrong is vacate the houses before bulldozing them. It would be better to keep the families in as they flatten them.

Or dying, along their families, in "gas explosions."
Or otherwise being disposed of.
