Some viruses consist of a segment of double-stranded DNA surrounded by a protein skin. When they invade a cell, the DNA takes over the cell's genetic machinery and orders it to produce copies of the virus, which escape to infect other cells. The victim cell is often killed in the process. But the AIDS virus is a so-called retrovirus and contains single-stranded RNA. Alone, RNA lacks the ability to conquer cells, but retroviruses carry an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. When the AIDS virus invades an immune-system T cell, the enzyme enables the viral...

Those who make the slightest move to eliminate the vaunted root cause of terror -- i.e., those who genuinely seek a compromise solution to the Israeli-Palestinian problem -- get shot. The latest victim is the mayor of Nablus, whose crime was to take over responsibility for fixing potholes. That was too much accommodation with the Zionist entity, as the rejectionists like to refer to Israel...
