Another reminder from the gaffe prone Prince William, that access to the best educational institutions and privileges life has to offer doesn't guarantee common sense, self-awareness and empathy.
#ICYMI
: Prince William said it's rather normal to see war and bloodshed in Africa and Asia but not Europe, during a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London today. "It's very alien to see this in Europe. We are all behind you," he told the volunteers there.

A vengeance seeker is not compatible with a justice seeker (deleyti fthi). Which is why it's important we distinguish opposition to Isaias from 'deleyti fthi'. All deleyti fthi are opposition, but not all opposition are deleyti fthi.
