Agreed. The psychologist had no role in this and should have shut up, even after the boy died… They aired a patients issues when they had nothing to do with the act in question. Abysmal unprofessional behavior and terrible judgement on that persons part.

Its not like it could mess up the kids life. There never was any harm to be done in this particular case.

He’s more sainty than most christian saints. St Benedicts “miracle”:

Book 2 of the Dialogues of Pope Gregory is about St. Benedict, and chapter 1 is titled “How he made a broken sieve whole and sound”:

It fell so out that his nurse borrowed of the neighbors a sieve to make clean wheat, which being left negligently on the table, by chance it was broken in two pieces, Whereupon she fell pitifully weeping, because she had borrowed it. The devout and religious youth Benedict, seeing his nurse so lamenting, moved with compassion, took away with him both the pieces of the sieve, and with tears fell to his prayers; and after he had done, rising up he found it so whole, that the place could not be seen where before it was broken.

So Benedict fixed a collander by crying on it and earned sainthood for it. Clearly none of us is worthy to behold such holiness as that. You couldnt make this flaming garbage up if you tried.

Fair enough. yes, I see in your previous comments you were thumping on @eldritch, so you are a certified good person in my book.

Makes sense, doesn’t it?

It only "makes sense if you are an israeli. And only makes sense to allow your land to be taken over if you are a jewish person. Israelis coud use the same justification to steal any land anywhere. It doesnt nake sense because Israel treats nonjews as subhuman and explicitely denies them full rights and self determination. Have you heard of Israels basic laws?

You conflate Hamas with Palestinians in general. Thats just dirty racism.

Israel was attacked almost immediately upon its foundation

It was attacked for a reason. Pretending otherwise is dishonest. The Nakba led to the attacks.

“The Nakba, Arabic for “catastrophe,” refers to the 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were driven out of what today is Israel before and during the war surrounding its creation in 1948.”

Do you see the “before” in that quote? The Nakba was the cause of the attacks.

Beyond that israel was attacking the british and muslims in the area before israel became a nation-state again. This isnt the first israeli genocide in that area in service of building a new kingdom either. Its the third or fourth, depending how you count ethnic mass murders sprees of innocents as genocides. And Zealot/Zionist (Jewish far right splinter groups) terrorism has been ongoing since early Roman times at least.

For those reasons alone, Israel should not have been granted statehood by the UN. Maybe the UN. thought giving them the state would settle the issue and the murders would stop, but the desire for ever more land shows no signs of stopping, and knows no shame or humanity.

Thats and worse. They do what they are paid to do. DNC centrists heard from their consultants that whoever had the most money tended to win elections, so they sold out in every way they could. Theyve almost abandoned the idea of having a party platform at all. Youd think that means we could just gofundme some government action, but you have to gofundme an amount that beats the corporate donaters’ preference. Good luck with that. Centrist will do anything to simply win, which leads directly to oligarchy.

The US government is violently supressing free speech where it relates to Israel, and pretending its because of a threat to all Jews. Heres whats in that bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6090/text SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS.

For purposes of this Act, the term “definition of antisemitism”—

(1) means the definition of antisemitism adopted on May 26, 2016, by the IHRA, of which the United States is a member, which definition has been adopted by the Department of State; and

(2) includes the “[c]ontemporary examples of antisemitism” identified in the IHRA definition.

Whats in the IHRA definition?
This definition for what antisemitism is:

• Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
• Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

It attached itself to the civil rights bill of 1964. So it can take action against anything related to the federal government, like schools, federal contracts, etc, but it does not apply to you and me as private citizens (yet). I can and will say all day that Israel is a genocider, is a violent theocratic racist state, should not have been granted statehodd by the UN, and is as bad as the Nazis.

I hadnt heard “murder gays”. Not sure that one is very dangerous sounding. Statistically speaking, dangerous gay people must exist, I just have never met one personally. Odd.

That would make sense if

I’ll take your comment as merely cynical rather than an attempt to deny the case against Biden and Netenyahu. Theres nothing any better out there than the Un at the moment. And genocide is genocide. The fact that its being discussed in the UN --which you say has merely manufactured legitimacy-- doesnt make Israels murders any less of a crime against humanity. And for Biden, a blatant criminal enterprise violating many US laws, that he should absolutely see prison time for. He’s going to be in the history books as a war criminal and theres not much anyone can do about that now.

The site at the end of that URL will set a cookie. How else would such a mechanism be functional at all? A call to steams naviagtionTiming api confirming the last page load and nothing else at all? Hard to imagine a product manager agreeing to such a pointless exchange. So it cant be redirected to an ip, which I assume you mean is running its own webserver on loopback:443. It also implies the mechanism to verify allows cross site scripting, at least to that one other domain.

Seems like lately whenever theres an awful event in the US, mcdonalds is somehow mentioned. Its like pure evil emenates from the place.

They still do have the best fries though, I have to admit-- although a large fries is $5.44 now. Evil.

Its pretty telling to all of us that talking about complying with the geneva conventions = terrorism to you.

While I see your point to a degree, that Netenyahu pic should really be a picture of Biden standing next to netenyahu, because thats the reality of it, right. This renders US jurisdiction irrelevant. Netenyahu, Biden, and Putin too are rogue actors who shouldnt ever be allowed to travel beyond their countries borders again. If caught they should be rendered to the hague for war crimes.

Criminals dont get to set a personally convenient standard for what justice is. the US and Israel both ratified the geneva conventions, so they are bound by it.

Single swing batman is unsatisfying.

And wheel him around tied to a hand truck. Cops cant do much of anything right.

I dont think they need an excuse, they just do whatever they want now. Thats what electing trump is all about, letting them run amuck unrestrained.
