"After all, the only country fitting that description is: Israel. The one country which the ABC map overlooked."
If the map showed who fitted the description , then logically it can't include Israel. So the map didn't . "Israel" is not written .
No Israel . The map is without Israel. The ABC didn't include Israel. Israel is not listed . By ABC . On the map . No Israel. None. Not. Zero. 1-1 =0 . ABC 1 . Loudmouth 0 .

Nick,

Is that a criticism of the ABC ? Hard to tell. So ..... why couldn't they have included all of the countries in the Middle East which had never had that vile law ?

i.e., Israel.

good grief

Is that a criticism of the ABC, Nick ? Since we can't get inside your head toward out what you are really saying, can we infer this ?

I'm sure that even you would agree that it wouldn't be right for a rapist to be able to marry his victim, so are you - in a round-about way - suggesting that, if the ABC was going to produce a map of the Middle East showing which countries still have that practice, and which had it but have abolished it, that it might have included countries in the region - and named them - which have NEVER had this dreadful law ?

i.e. Israel. Is that what you are saying, ever so cryptically ?

Loudmouth
No.
A map of Soviet Union doesn't include a map of Sth Aust and a comment that SA was never part of the vile empire of evil. Pictures of the Opera House don't include your house and a comment that you sing flat.

The ABC is correct . It removed "Israel" and so the map names the countries which fit the title about rape. Do you want the white marker-pen or not ?

Nick,

Israel is in the Middle East. That map was of Middle Eastern countries, of which Israel is one, almost the smallest. And it happens to be the only one which has never had those laws.

South Australia has never been part of the Soviet Union, thank Christ.

Duck and dive all you like, but remember that the truth will set you free. Can you handle the truth ? I'm not optimistic :(
