Pointless But It Makes Me Chuckle to Myself

Only in that they could stop it if they wanted to but choose not to

The implication here is that Israel literally cannot stop because massively excessive brutality aimed mainly at civilians is the only way they know how to behave.

Who's the antisemite now, eh?

These nativist tropes are classic Conservatism.

In a game of chicken between a tank and a tuk-tuk one would expect the tuk-tuk driver to veer off course but Hamas clearly think their tuk-tuk is unusually well made.

I don't have a personal problem with the lakes being so full of crayfish that you can just leave a net out with a light in it and they just jump in and then practically cook themselves.... I guess some of the native species are not happy though.

Special because native. Yeah, I get it.

This clip of the defendant attacking the judge was on telly loads last week, however none of the clips I saw included all the stuff he said before he did that about how he was in a good place and on the right path now what with being a person who never stops trying to do the right thing etc etc




Also, without knowing exactly what happened here regarding the rights and wrongs of the case, I surely can't be the only one who feels that - however well deserved - sometimes there is something rather unpleasant and bullying about the way judges tend to sit there a few metres away from someone delivering an often brutal character assassination before callously dismissing their plea and sending them to jail smugly secure in the knowledge that the whole power of the state insulates them totally from any possible reprisal...

Your takeaway is that judges should have less protection, not more?

Is it? I hadn't realised that but thanks for telling me what I was thinking.

Bit mean of you to pick on @HMGovt’s Glorious Return! like that, Rich.
