How do you get there?

The murders and rapes perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 are in many ways horrific even to those who remember the Holocaust, and the question is "how do you find people willing to do this?"  One apparent answer may be potent amphetamines.

And that raises the question of whether one can test for use of these, say for those who might have perpetrated such atrocities.  Answer; maybe.  You can test for amphetamines in hair up to 90 days.  Word is still out about whether one can differentiate the drug alleged here from other amphetamines in hair samples, and how strongly its use correlates with the October 7 and other attacks.

But that said, I do think hair samples from people in Gaza, especially young males, would be appropriate.
