mhaze,

In any case - I'm finding this subject too distressing
to continue. It's affecting my health.
For those reasons - I'm out.

When you want to steal the land they live on you have to dehumanise them to justify what you're doing.

They're animals!
Treat em that way and they'll act that way.

Put me in a cage and humiliate me whilst out of arms reach and I'll probably resort to crapping in my hand and throwing it at you at some point, at the expense of a beating.

Hamas.
Means 'Palestinian resistance'
If it wasn't Hamas... it would be ANY OTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE.
- Because NO-ONE would put up with being treated like that.

Starving People like barbarians...
What year does Israel think it is?
BC?

If Palestinians were occupied by any other group of people
Be it Mexicans, Albanians, Japanese or even Irish people.
They would still have every right to tell those people to FECK OFF.
- Nothing anti-semitic about it at all -

And lets face it.
If a fly were to land on a Jews arm...
That Jew would pronounce that fly an anti-semite.

I don't give a rats bum WHO the criticism applies to.
The only factor that matters is TRUTH
The only factor that matters is 'whether the argument holds merit'

It doesn't matter if it's the dirty laundry of someone you do like or someone you don't.
It's just dirty laundry.

Screams before Silence

what a load of bs.
I'll tell you something moron.

You want us to cry for the innocent dead from Oct 7.
- Tears ain't going to bring them back.

What about tears for the people Israel is going to kill tomorrow?
THEY'RE NOT EVEN DEAD YET.

But. They. Will. Be.

"you thought Cardinal Pell was innocent,"

So did the courts.

Israel should've quit while it was ahead.
They've gone and stirred up a hornets nest now.
Student protests on Western University campuses globally with students demanding 'Divest from Israel!'
- Just like that which put the US adventure in Vietnam to an end.
- Only these protests have gone global.

These students aren't going to quit the Palestinian cause with global solidarity in a hurry.
There's no stopping it now without a heavy handed approach.
The West will have to act like 'dictatorial regimes' 'lead by authoritarians' when they act against students 'exercising free speech to oppose genocide' to try and stop it - and everyone will be filming.

And you all know these student protestors are stubborn and annoying little pests.
They will go and glue themselves to the road on a bridge or something idiotic and shut the whole city down.

It's like the equivalent of the whole student climate change movement globally has something new to get together and scream about.

Israel has created a shitestorm of biblical proportions.

Not to mention the ICC story.
They have come out against US and Israeli threats against them.

'Stop Threatening Us': ICC Blasts Israel, USA Over Potential Arrest Warrant Against Netanyahu
http://youtu.be/K30ClX2DrKU

If the ICC does not issue arrest warrants, it will lose all credibility.
If the ICC does issue arrest warrants, Israel will be labelled a terrorist and genocidal state, Western countries will not be able to trade in weapons for Israel as it will go against out national laws to provide support for a nation engaged in acts of genocide.
And there will be calls from Western citizens for their countries to cut diplomatic ties with Israel.

mhaze,

No. Pell was not found innocent.

The facts are:

He got off on a legal technicality. The High Court
did not exonerate Pell. And the High Court's decision
undermined confidence in our legal system especially
in child sexual abuse persecutions.

Pell was convicted by a unanimous jury verdicts of
guilty which were further supported by a court of appeal
majority of 2 judges.

Pell may have won on a legal technicality but his
reputation was tarnished. In contrast the complainant
was believed by a jury, by a majority judgement and
by a substantial body of public opinion.

Okay, we get it.
You'll continue to make mistakes - and will keep digging.
You can't help yourself.
But STOP reminding us.
Thank you.
