"Mr. President, the terrorists have taken hostages. What should we do?" "Bomb the building." -A psychopath

grte ,

You are literally justifying their actions. Justifying the murder of well over 30 thousand.

You are putting the responsibility for those murders entirely on Hamas rather than the government currently perpetrating them, thus justifying that government's actions. You could have just as easily made your opening comment, "Man, if only Israel cared about international law." Please stop insulting my intelligence.

Strange take. Presumably if Israel was replaced with a non-ethnostate, Jewish citizens of that state would get the same rights and treatment as every other citizen.

As are most Americans.

That strain of nationalism predates 9/11. Sometimes even out of those same outlaw country artists. Johnny Cash did Man in Black, but also Ragged Old Flag.

Considering that 'opportunity' they gave to long term reddit users it seems like this fleecing was planned from the get go.

According to a news release, the SIU says the incident began at around 1:30 p.m. when police made a traffic stop in the area of Churchill Avenue and Avondale Avenue. A 25-year-old woman got out of the car and ran away, the SIU said. An officer followed.

"At some point, the officer discharged his firearm and the woman was struck. She was transported to hospital for treatment. The woman is in critical condition," the SIU said.

Doesn't sound like she presented a threat to anyone. I don't think stopping a suspect from running away is a reasonable excuse to shoot them.

Pearson Vue GED Testing Service, the company behind the test, is ending service in Canada after this month.

When the end of the program was announced last year, provinces were left to find their own solutions.

Isn't privatization grand?

For all the emotion she was trying to convey it sure never touched her eyes.

Great post. It seems like a lot of people aren't used to using the product of community efforts over commercial efforts and their expectations and feeling of entitlement match that experience. Like they've bought a product and want to complain to the manager when they experience a problem.
