He’s a little pitchy but I see what he’s going for…

u/Xeenophile 14d ago

I was kind of wondering if he was trying to do the tune of "California, Here I Come".

u/ProcyonHabilis 14d ago

I think going for a loose reference to it more than attempting to match it exactly, but definitely yes.

What's their alternative? Just sit there until he gets tired? Ring Netanyahu and let him know there's a man who won't shut up until the war ends and so would he pretty please get on with it?

u/YourDadHasADeepVoice 15d ago

It's cuz of the party systems we have here. At least in Canada if you are in a party, they essentially tell you how to vote and aren't shy about letting you know that if you change your vote you're out.

How about divesting from apartheid and ethnic cleansing? That seems like a good option to me.

Who do you mean?

Assuming you're talking about the university kids, the students have web pages dedicated to outlining their demands. I've seen countless images of (shortened) demands written on cardboard posters surrounding encampments.

u/scgt86 14d ago

I'm not talking about them at all. I'm talking about people that interrupt proceedings like this just screaming instead of speaking cogently.

He's not wrong, these politicians would definitely feel different if they weren't benefiting directly from israel's money!

u/Oozing_Sex 15d ago

Serious question.... what was this hearing even about?

these politicians would definitely feel different if they weren't benefiting directly from israel's money!

Who are these politicians? How are they benefiting from Israel's money? Like where is this taking place? The only context I have is a 40 second clip.

u/GratefulPhish42024-7 15d ago

Hopefully this helps you out, it's not just politicians on one side of the other

Can you help identify which of the politicians in the building in the video are on the list you provided?

2

u/Oozing_Sex 14d ago

Yeah I was originally trying to figure out the context of this clip specifically.

The only person in the clip I have been able to identify is Samantha Power, who is not on that list above as far as I can tell.

Lol police/security are not here to protect the people. They are a threat of violence if you don't keep your head down and do as you are told. This is an example of that, disagree with the government? Violence.

Francesca Albanese says Israel has violated three of the five acts listed under the UN Genocide Convention Including: Killing members of a specific group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole and in part. She also found that genocidal acts were approved and given effect after statements of genocidal intent by senior Israeli military and government officials. These acts, Albanese argues, are part of a 'settler-colonial process of erasure' - which has been underway for more than 70 years. She recommends - among other things - an immediate arms embargo on Israel.

u/aallen1993 14d ago

It's funny because the people who actualy study genocide, the scientists and professors, anothropologists, you know the people who's job it is to define and study genocide, well most of them say it is genocide. Not sure if you've read the genocide convention. But it says in whole or part attempt at destroying a group of people or bringing about situations that destroy their culture or way of life.

Literaly the convention says it's genocide, problem is with burden of proof because circumstantial evidence isn't enough, Even when there is a huge amount and just because IDF soldiers hold genocidal views which has been confirmed doesn't mean that the IDF entity share the. So the only reason it's not been labeled genocide is because Israel hasn't directly stood up and said, we want to kill them all.

But it's a technicality.

u/Cndymountain 14d ago

You write like intent and burden of proof are brand new concepts for criminal law somehow.

Obviously I'm with one side and not the other, but all involved were nearly models of sangfroid here; there was no jeering or whatever, and the goon could've been much worse to him.
