Israel has responded by stating it will close its embassy in Dublin (surely one of the more pleasant diplomatic duty posts), while curiously not closing its embassies in the capitals of other nations that have joined the petition to the ICJ, specifically Egypt, Spain and Mexico. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/dec/15/middle-east-israel-syria-gaza-lebanon-latest-live-news

Well done Ireland.

The official Irish Government press release is linked below: https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/1bfcd-tanaiste-announces-irelands-intervention-in-proceedings-at-the-international-court-of-justice/ This statement refers to Ireland’s view on the ‘interpretation of the convention’: "Ireland’s view of the Convention is broader and prioritises the protection of civilian life – as a committed supporter of the Convention, the government will promote that interpretation in its intervention in this case.”

I did, I even pointed out the editorial opinion in the article you linked. I’m pleased you accept it’s an opinion, there is a long history of opinions shared by others turning out to be false. Pelosi did not sympathize with the killer. In respect of Pelosi’s actual world, ‘people can only be pushed so far’, do you think she was making a factual observation? Or is there no limit to how far ‘people can be pushed’?

It’s an opinion that has been distributed by headlines such as the one you have posted. Headlines that make claims not substantiated by the article they proceed are nothing new. Pelosi did not ‘sympathize’ with the killer. And in respect of this thread, there is no evidence that the ‘woke’ are responsible for making the killer the cultural icon he clearly is.

It’s a headline, an opinion. The only bit attributed to Pelosi is the statement ‘People can only be pushed so far’. So in respect of Pelosi’s actual world, ‘people can only be pushed so far’, do you think she was making a factual observation? Or is there no limit to how far ‘people can be pushed’?

There is no proof of something that didn’t happened.

How has that worked out?

There is a whole lot of difference. The escalation and involvement of U.S. forces being the most obvious.

Iran, a sovereign state, was signatory to a treaty under which it would not produce nuclear weapons. Trump unilaterally withdrew from and therefore nullified that treaty. Now It’s as if cause and effect don’t exist in Trump’s brain. I doubt too the long term consequences of a US attack on Iran have been thought about either. Take the gloves off, the gloves come off.

Agree, Biden believes in the peaceful transfer of power through elections.

Agreed. Moreover, as others have pointed out there is definitely a wide spread positive response to this guy’s act of killing the Corporate CEO. Rather than trying to pin this popularity on any particular group a far more instructive line of inquiry would be to ask why has this killer’s actions given rise to such wide popular support?

I’m not shooting any messenger Brian, I’m pointing out editorial options are not facts. He’s a question for you. When Pelosi says ‘People can only be pushed so far” is she correct in that observation?

Another editorial opinion, it even says so right at the top of the article you linked.

On that I do not disagree. I would go as far as to say he joins a tradition that goes back at least as far as the fable of Robin Hood. The question to ask is why do so many people respond so positively to the killer of a corporate CEO?

In an example of how headlines mislead, I’m still waiting for evidence that the killer has been made a cultural icon by solely ‘woke’ people or indeed people of any particular outlook, politics or otherwise.

Your explainion hangs on the headlines editors choose to attach to articles, which are themselves expressing opinions Misleading headlines that are not supported by facts are common place, it’s how newspapers sell. Being mislead by such headlines is too often a choice, but one you are absolutely free to make, just don’t expect the rest of us to do likewise.

That’s true. You actually have to actually ‘sympathize’, it’s a verb. Pelosi did not ‘sympathize’ with the killer.

Just as well you didn’t hold your breath.

The headline is ‘an opinion’.

Oddly no actual sympathizing, just a headline with a quote of the very reasonable observation ‘people can only be pushed so far’. Let us know when you have a statement from Pelosi sympathizing with the killer.

I believe ‘hereditary succession’ might be the plan.

I’m sure talking about UK Law.

Since its the year 2024 and the law hasn’t been changed to ban first cousin marriage, those days have definitely not gone and clearly nobody saw fit to see the back of them in any of the years prior to 2024.

I don’t recall ever saying she did
