Några fler som ser likheten i "The Holy Grail" med Gazakonflikten? De stycken som är i fetstil tycker jag träffar extra bra.

Mr Brown said: "I believe that that would constitute the next stage following the ceasefire that will make possible the resumption of talks that are necessary for a permanent peace."...
