  1. Yep, The civilians in NI had citizenship and the political at sympathies of the U.S. The Palestinians have neither of these things.
  2. To be fair to the Israelis. I have every expectation they would minimize civilian casualties if the murderous Hamas were holed up in a crowded Israeli neighborhood.
  3. It’s got a lot to do with the claim the Israelis created a gold standard. Clearly they did not.
  4. The British fought one of the worlds most effective terrorist organizations for decades, killing a tiny fraction of the civilians the Israelis have. Claims of ‘Israeli gold standard’ are clearly not a reality.
  5. Thanks for the laugh. I spat my cup of tea reading that. https://cpj.org/reports/2023/05/deadly-pattern-20-journalists-died-by-israeli-military-fire-in-22-years-no-one-has-been-held-accountable/amp/
  6. You posted a link Brian. Why does asking you about the reliability of the source you posted cause you so much anguish?
  7. That ignores the fact that the IDF is one of the combatant parties and therefore obviously biased and obviously has an interest in distorting the truth in their favor. But don’t worry, there is a remedy. Allow the world’s news media to send their own journalists into Gaza to report independently of both Israel and Hamas on what is happening in Gaza. Oh…. But Israel won’t permit that either.
  8. Dodging my question Brian. You’ve cited an IDF claim, I’m asking: ”Do you think the IDF is a reliable source on the matter or might they have an interest in distorting the truth?” We’ll get to the ‘the IDF evidence’ after you’ve answered the question.

  10. Having access to is one thing. Being fed propaganda and misinformation by algorithms designed to target people’s emotions and emotional engagement is something else. I do feel it important to look at the reality of how the internet and social media is being used to manipulate people, it’s not negativity to do so.

  12. And propagandists have access to everyone on social media.
  13. It looks like your question will be answered once Sunak stops hiding from the electorate. I’ll put a punt on this though. As soon as a Labour Government comes along the news media will suddenly lose its aversion to discussing the part Government failure has in the Immigration mess.
  14. Well that imagined outcome sounds troubling until we reflect on the actual arguments made by Trump’s legal team that a President would have the right to order the assassination of of a political rival and/or order the military to undertake a coup and it would all be perfectly legal.
  15. It seems the Secret Service are on he case: https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/secret-services-prepares-potential-trump-contempt-order-hush/story?id=109542824
  16. The opening lines of the ruling against Defendant Trump make interesting reading, leaving zero doubt what this case is about: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24628210-people-v-trump-contempt-ruling-april-30-2024?responsive=1&title=1
  17. He’s not ‘a self-made man’ and ‘the people’ didn’t choose him.
  18. So you’re not engaged in discussion, you’re just name calling. I read the post, I liked it.
  19. In this thread I refer to Defendant Trump’. This, in context of his criminal trial is the correct form of address. I do not engage in calling him or his supporters names. The term ‘Trump Supporter’ hits that happy coincidence of both politely correct and sufficiently derogatory to require no name calling at all.
