    USA Policy positions of Donald Trump; let's see how many he achieves

    The desperation from Trump and Vance in that meeting, coupled with the relative 'take no shit' coolness of Zelensky, leads me to believe that he has actually read 'The Art of the Deal'. Zelensky 'aimed high', 'knows his market' (ie. most US citizens are on his side), 'fought back' and 'used...

    Current WAR CRIMES Israel Hamas Conflict Pt 2 - * ICC issues warrants for Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant & for Hamas's Mohammed Deif

    They have engaged in declared warfare trying to get their kidnapped people back and it sucks balls, but it's not as morally wrong as what Hamas did. It must also be recognised that a significant majority of Gazans and Palestinians supported the October 7 attacks according to polls closer to...

    Current WAR CRIMES Israel Hamas Conflict Pt 2 - * ICC issues warrants for Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant & for Hamas's Mohammed Deif

    With respect, Hamas are literally parading civilian hostages in a demeaning manor almost as we speak, so their war crimes are effectively admitted. Your bid to create equivalency between Hamas and Israel is as limp as a well-cooked piece of asparagus.

    Reminder: The International Criminal Court (ICC) presumes that all people are innocent until proven guilty. This is stated in Article 66 of the Rome Statute of the ICC.

    I ****en hate Dutton, but at least he can stand up for what is right with conviction, which is supporting Israel's right to respond to a host of war crimes / terrorism and Ukraine's right to fight back against an invasion without merit. Our current PM, who I personally wish was better than he...

    Don't know why that guy is so negative about the future reporting of this incident. It's all over various Israeli media outlets and I'm sure its suitably of public interest to know why the **** these two Jewish Israelis did what they did (and why right now?!). It's not the Russian state-owned...

    Get your hand off it! My post was not trying to justify war crimes, but rather highlight the simple fact that it is an urban war zone and that destruction and civilian casualties are sadly typical. As for "war crimes", Israel and their army can respond to claims therein at a later date, as...

    Hundreds! But why does firepower for that time matter if the city was literally flattened? The residents were not holding German hostages or killing civilians. The citizens were not given warning as to where to be at various times. I’d like to know how many Aid Trucks were let in by the...

    Updated George Pell * Dead at 81yo

    That's my take on that specific issue too and ripping into the High Court for overturning the jury decision doesn’t help the system. Pell is at best a pedophile enabler /apologist. Pretty good chance he was one himself. But that story was highly improbable IMHO.

    To some degree. What else is there? Have I not in the past? You’re assuming that I agree with Israel’s response, when I said at the start of this extended thread that the best thing that Israel could have done was this; nothing! Use the gaze of the world to shame the Iran-proxy ****wits into...

    Even if the Hannibal Directive / Code Red "You can't handle the truth!" order is currently live, what the **** does that say about the dogs that they are dealing with? Either way, the current count of deaths from the IDF as adjudged by the UN smacks of a handful of friendly fire deaths, rather...

    When Hamas did what they did with the full knowledge of what they did was troll Israel into a conflict, I doubt they, or anyone in the region, thought that the Yanks were stoopid enough to vote Trump back into power again. It's a disgrace and I've now, without the two state solution, switched...

    If this is the sentiment that you are reading into my post, then what are you reading into everyone else's commentary on the tragic chain of events? Nope! You brought up 'plausible deniability' and I was just highlighting the convenience of narrative in the scheme of the greater issues that...

    It was (and still is!) a terrible chain of events. It must be said though, there is a sort of 'plausible deniability' from accountability in Gaza. Hamas are 'terrorists' and are separate from Gazans / Palestinians when being held responsible for the war crimes October 7 and holding hostages...

    Agreed with that. Only Israel allowed aid in. Probably because they had a war to run, disagreed with the warrants and were demonstrably allowing aid in. Compare this with actual genocide and starvation examples like Darfur, Cambodia and Nazi Concentration Camps.

    I'm deluding myself into thinking 'Warfare is shit'? I'd have thought it was very clear minded myself! The ICC presumes that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. With respect to the warrants, the Israel's have significant grounds to argue against their...

    When you're in a war situation with both parties fighting each other and with one of them holding hostages (which is a bargaining tool and a war crime), the ease of movement of vehicles is naturally going to slow to a crawl, as you can't just allow your enemy to be re-upping their supplies with...

    Your gif makes some valid points, but what do you disagree with exactly? If Israel's goal was 'genocide' and 'ethnic cleansing' of the area, then the could have been much more vicious militarily and they could have even punched holes in the borders to facilitate displacement. But they didn't...
