Thats just what they say when they don't get heir way mhaze.
I just saw an article then from Amnesty International portraying them as peaceful, but also admitting they were throwing molotov cocktails.

Tell me mhaze, what appropriate punishment would you support for the Palestinian protesters in Melbourne during that military conference if they were throwing molotov cocktails and firing gatlin fireworks gun at police?

And be fecking honest about it.

Don't dare say these lunatics are justified in their actions
But other protesters are not.

"The clashes left many injured, with footage capturing the brutal beatings of peaceful demonstrators and journalists."

Peaceful my ar$e, how many journalists in Gaza have been assassinated now, but that's perfectly fine because Israel has a right to defend itself, rite.

And the Georgia Dream party, legitimately voted in by citizens who don't wish to become cannon fodder in a second front war on Russia well they are all just Russian stooges.

It's all bs, a tired movie script we've seen over and over again by a West determined to impose it's will and people are either too dumb or willfully ignorant to see it.

And what, I'm the conspiracy theorist tin-foil hat wearing nutcracker for pointing it out.

What a load of bullcrap.
Get real.

"The use of force against peaceful protesters was completely disproportionate", stated Ucha Nanuashvili, FIDH Vice-President and founder of the Human Rights Center. "The violence against media representatives and interference in their journalistic activities were particularly alarming. In accordance with the unofficial data, on November 29 and 30, at least 30 journalists became victims of physical violence. Besides that, their equipment was purposefully damaged".

- Again 'peaceful' protestors. [Rolls eyes]

No Georgia Maidan.

If 500k dead and wounded [highly conservative numbers] Ukrainians because of the exact same situation isn't enough to ring alarm bells I don't know what is.

I've been telling you all for a decade.
I don't support sanctions or overthrows.
Am I in the wrong simply for having principles?

Oh and FYI, the number of assassinated journalists in Gaza is just under 200, by memory.

Quite the segue there AC.

Even if what you say about the protestor's activities is true, that doesn't alter the rationality of the reasons for those activities. Throwing missiles in order to protest a manipulated vote might be wrong. But that doesn't change the fact that the vote was manipulated or that the will of the people was subverted by the people you constantly try to defend.

Well sorry for pushing the issue mhaze, but you had me in a bind.

"Even if what you say about the protestor's activities is true, that doesn't alter the rationality of the reasons for those activities."
- I think that we need to accept that there are 2 sides of the argument here.

I could say yes, let's boot out the Georgia Dream party by recreating the Ukrainian Maidan, then when we have a new pro western government in power we can take billions in IMF loans, change the law on selling property (like in Ukraine) and let western bankers rob the country and start conscripting the Georgian people to open a second front war against Russia, then when we have half a million dead and wounded and another carbon copy of Ukraine, with idiots like Lindsay Graham saying 'We will fight to the last Georgian, because it's good for US jobs, I can say you 'Are you happy now mhaze? Is this what you were hoping for, is this what you had in mind?

"Throwing missiles in order to protest a manipulated vote might be wrong."
- Yes it is, so no Georgia Maidan.
"But that doesn't change the fact that the vote was manipulated or that the will of the people was subverted by the people you constantly try to defend."
- No it's not a fact the vote was manipulated. What is a fact is that you are listening to rhetoric coming from the EU / NATO who have an interest in pulling Georgia into their realm.

There's nothing wrong with having foreign agent laws.
We have foreign agent laws as does most nations.
The problem is that 90% of the money funding NGO's who are trying to create civil unrest is from foreigners, there's no telling if many of these protest organisers are on a foreign payroll.
