I’m glad it looks good because the Christmas special made me Cringe and my kids decided they aren’t really interested in watching the new series if it’s like that. For context, they’ve rewatched everything from Ecclestone onwards several times.
It bugs me when people say “the thing is is that” (if you listen for it, you’ll start hearing it… or maybe that’s something that people only do in my area.) (“What the thing is is that…” is fine. But “the thing is is that…” bugs me.)...
It’s something I’ve seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There’s accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame...
I await to see how you justify the apparently indiscriminate massacres of 1,139 people - 695 Israeli civilians (including 36 children), and 71 foreign nationals. Let’s set aside the possibility of rapes and sexual assault as they can’t be absolutely verified.
In what way do you believe they were proportional?
Yes. My claim wasn’t that Israel isn’t committing war crimes. It clearly is. Possibly genocide too. However, I’m of the opinion that the Hamas attack was a war crime too - hence parties
You’re projecting here, I think. I’ve been pretty clear on my position. You haven’t said why you think the Oct 7 attack doesn’t constrain war crime by Hamas.
If you read back through this thread, you'll see that in no way shape of form have I defended the atrocities carried out by Israel. That doesn't mean that Hamas' actions on Oct 7 weren't also an atrocity. "Yeh, but that was 5 months ago" doesn't feel like suitable rebuttle. No you don't use genocide as a response to attrocity, but that doesn't mean the original massacre wasn't a atrocity.
I think you should should avoid using "lol" in these kinds of discussions.
