Trump's Hush-Money Trial Unveils Mood and DA's Case So Far
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Oddly no mention of the Defendant falling asleep in court. Although I understand this is now being portrayed as Defendant Trump being ‘Anti-Woke’. -
Sorry for my delay in responding, as you know I don’t view video links posted in this discussion forum and therefore went in search of the source BBC Interview. You are correct, the statements in news reports that the ICJ ruled that Israel is plausibly committing genocide have now been corrected by the former and importantly contemporaneous chief of the ICJ. Why she’s waited months to make this correction is not explained. On the full interview she goes on to discuss the ongoing risk of irreparable damage to the right of Palestinians to protected from genocide and of course the ICJ orders all still stand: (a) Unanimously, Take all necessary and effective measures to ensure, without delay, in full co-operation with the United Nations, the unhindered provision at scale by all concerned of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance, including food, water, electricity, fuel, shelter, clothing, hygiene and sanitation requirements, as well as medical supplies and medical care to Palestinians throughout Gaza, including by increasing the capacity and number of land crossing points and maintaining them open for as long as necessary; (b) By fifteen votes to one, Ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit acts which constitute a violation of any of the rights of the Palestinians in Gaza as a protected group under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, including by preventing, through any action, the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance; https://www.icj-cij.org/node/203847

I have no idea what Hamas would have done had without the funding Netanyahu played a role in securing for them. But he’s now on both sides of the equations. Funding Hamas and waging war in Gaza. Those are facts. They are absolutely not excuses for the obscene attack of 7/10 and attack I have always roundly condemned as an obscenity and for which I have never made any excuse.

Absolutely the Israelis will create carnage when they attack the densely populated Rafah. Here’s the difference between us on the matter. I don’t support the carnage, I don’t justify the carnage, I don’t excuse the carnage, I don’t pretend there are no other options than a military attack that absolutely will result in carnage and I don’t argue, as you do, the civilians in Rafah have no reason to complain when the Israelis visit carnage upon them.

Nothing like a bit of revisionism. How’s your gleeful support for the carnage facing Rafah going. I mean really Nick, you choose the word ‘carnage’ when you refer to what the Israeli military have in store for civilians in Rafah, and tell us that these on innocent civilians have no reason to complain about that ‘carnage’. When you chose that word ‘carnage’ in reference to civilians, did you at all pause to think?
