    For many it’s the sunk cost fallacy.

    They’ve rhetorically, unreservedly supported Israel for half a century, and they will not be reexamining those intransigent beliefs today, thank you very much.

    "The Doctor: How much blood will spill until everybody does what they’re always going to have to do from the very beginning – sit down and talk! Listen to me, listen. I just – I just want you to think. Do you know what thinking is? It’s just a fancy word for changing your mind.

    Bonnie: I will not change my mind.

    The Doctor: Then you will die stupid."

    -Steven Moffat, excerpt from Doctor Who
