And this ugly **** (rhymes with 'hunt') has media.cnn.com"media.cnn.com/a">a look that'll perfectly fit in at the woman's prison she'll wind up in. Fat, greasy hair ...

She was arrested after a hearing in D.C. to answer for leaking internal emails belonging to Dominion Voting Systems.

www.newsweek.com - My Fellow Palestinians: It's Time to Get Rid of Our Leaders and Accept Israel's Offers for Peace - Bassem Eid, PALESTINIAN HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST - Jan 28, 2024

|------- There's been a lot of criticism of Israel recently for purportedly rejecting a two-state solution... The truth is more complex. As a Palestinian who genuinely yearns for a two-state solution and an improvement in living conditions in the West Bank and Gaza, I believe this truth must be told: It is Israel - and the Zionist Jewish community preceding independence - that consistently offered compromise, dialogue, and a two-state solution. And it is Palestinian demagogues valuing personal power over the good of their people who have rejected these openhanded offers - in favor of endless strife and the desire that the Jewish community be completely destroyed.

It is the Palestinian Arab nationalist movement that has betrayed the Palestinian people and consistently opposed peace. ... -------|

*** Bill Clinton tried "peace process" with Arafat who was only stringing everyone along while skimming billions of USDs for himself and associates, just before starting Second Intifada:

www.newsweek.com - Clinton To Arafat: It's All Your Fault - Jun 26, 2001
|------- ... Bill Clinton gave vent to his frustrations this week over the collapse of peace in the Mideast. And Clinton directed his ire at one man: Yasir Arafat. ... Clinton said he told Arafat that by turning down the best peace deal he was ever going to get - the one proffered by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and brokered by Clinton last July... . But Arafat didn't listen. ...

He described Arafat as an aging leader who relishes his own sense of victimhood and seems incapable of making a final peace deal....

Clinton said he bluntly contradicted Arafat when... the Palestinian leader expressed doubts that the ancient Jewish temple actually lay beneath the Islamic-run compound in Jerusalem containing the holy Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock. -------|

www.theguardian.com - Arafat didn't negotiate - he just kept saying no - The Guardian, May 22, 2002

|------- ... Clinton said: "... The true story of Camp David was that for the first time in the history of the conflict the American president put on the table a proposal, based on UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338, very close to the Palestinian demands, and Arafat refused even to accept it as a basis for negotiations, walked out of the room, and deliberately turned to terrorism."

Clinton was speaking of the two-week-long Camp David conference in July 2000... and its failure, and the eruption at the end of September of the Palestinian intifada which has continued since.

Arafat said no. -------|

honestreporting.com - In Depth: Arafat Rejected Peace in 2000 - July 11, 2021

|------- Recent peace agreements between Israel and UAE, Bahrain and Sudan have changed the face of the Arab-Israeli conflict and revealed a pent-up frustration among Arab nations with the long-standing Palestinian veto on their ability to normalize relations with Israel.

... Bandar... focusing on Palestinian leadership mistakes over the decades, capped off in the final part recounting the colossal error committed by Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat in rejecting a peace agreement with Israel in 2000-2001. -------|

Thomas Friedman: Israel today is in grave danger. With enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran, Israel should be enjoying the sympathy of much of the world.

Friedman, as usual, looks in a political rear view mirror and sees the "future" - Israel had "enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iran..." for decades - first through all the Soviet Union-supported Arabic states' genocidal wars since Day 1 of Israel's existence... and after decades of supporting Islamist terrorist organizations like PLO, PFLP and PIJ, and spreading disinformation by Soviet Union's KGB and GRU, using "Palestinians" as an issue... so it never was "enjoying the sympathy of much of the world"... because "Jooos."

Our resident Russian troll Effeteposer is just one tiny cog in that old war machine, while former KGB/FSB Colonel Vladimir Putin is trying to reconstruct the "glorious" Federation of former Soviet Republics, and his partner Ayatollah of Iran is doing what he can to help.

|------- Chapter 2: Palestinian spies
Palestinians in service of Mother Russia

Secret KGB documents reveal just how deeply involved the Soviet Union was... The Russian spy agency provided Palestinian terror organizations with funds, training and arms, running agents like 'Krotov'/'Mole' Mahmoud Abbas, 'Aref' Yasser Arafat and 'Nationalist,' who was behind several plane hijackings long before 9/11. ...

Egypt and Jordan have since been "living side by side" and trading with Israel, several Arab states just signed peace and trade treaties, and the big fish, Saudis were about to do the same. So Iran (not Arab country) pulled the trigger on one of "their" Palestinian terrorist groups to prevent the "peace process" from completion.

One of many serious articles from Arab and Palestinian authors: **
www.gatestoneinstitute.org - Why Arabs Are Fed up With the Palestinians - by Khaled Abu Toameh, July 12, 2022 (well before October 7, 2023)

|------- The Palestinians can only blame themselves for antagonizing their Arab brothers... The Palestinians have been spitting in the face of the Arab countries, while at the same time expecting these countries to continue funding them.

The Arabs are clearly not as nave as the Americans and Europeans, who are continuing to pour millions of dollars annually on the Palestinians...

Had the Palestinians welcomed the many peace accords between Israel and the Arab states instead of condemning them*** and bad-mouthing the Arab leaders, they would have been in a much better situation today...

The Palestinian leadership, by contrast, is happy to fail its people by indoctrinating generation after generation with bloodlust for Jews. ...

The truth is that most of the Arab countries long ago turned their backs on the Palestinians. ... It is ironic that while the European Union recently announced its decision to resume unconditional financial aid to the Palestinians, the Arab countries continue to completely ignore the Palestinians. It is also ironic that while the Biden administration continues to talk about providing financial aid to the Palestinians, the Arab countries do not seem to care at all about their Palestinian brothers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. ...

... prominent Kuwaiti journalist Ahmed Al-Jarallah explained why he and many others are fed up with the Palestinians. "We are the only ones who rescued them [Palestinians] in 1970 when they launched their war on Jordan. The late Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah evacuated their leader Yasser Arafat from Amman..." -------|

Of course they are. You basically just called anyone who doesn't agree with the proposition that the assault victim brought it on himself "righties". It's not the first time you've politicized either, as I recall.

No, I called blueballs stupid, you idiot. Blueballs is a righty.

God damn you're f*&^ing stupid.

Here's a hint: especially when it comes women and minors, arguing that an assault victim is entirely to blame for his or her own assault requires very compelling evidence to sway a jury. No matter how much you want to believe otherwise, the evidence didn't come anywhere close to meeting that bar, even if you include the stuff you alluded to that was excluded.

Oh look, an idiot trying to condescendingly give advice on a topic they're abjectly ignorant about.

Hey idiot, if you're in a crowd and suddenly you see a dumbass with a gun shoot an unarmed guy four times, it's a reasonable assumption that most would make that the person with the gun is a problem. That's the premise that Kyle was attacked under.

It's not the "well why'd he dress like that in a dark alley" you're trying to equate it with.

Just STFU you f*&^ing idiot. You haven't said a single useful thing this entire thread.

You just acknowledged that your views on this case are based "entirely" on emotion.

Except we were talking about them being partisan. In case this hasn't sunk in yet, you. Are. Stupid.

Your views are clearly not based on logic and facts.

Because you have the same level of understanding of the concept of facts and lies as STD.

but that does not make him responsible for Rosenbaum's violent actions against him nor the circumstances such as the shot Josh Ziminski fired, which for all he knew at the time could have been coming from his attacker.

I've never defended Rosenbaum's actions.

The second line is irrelevant. You are responsible for every round you send down range. Period.

It does seem like you really sympathize with Rosenbaum and were all for the violence he perpetuated against Kyle Rittenhouse.

Nope, but that's a cool intellectually lazy false dichotomy you've got there.

"My reasons aren't political, moron."

Of course they are. You basically just called anyone who doesn't agree with the proposition that the assault victim brought it on himself "righties". It's not the first time you've politicized either, as I recall.

Here's a hint: especially when it comes women and minors, arguing that an assault victim is entirely to blame for his or her own assault requires very compelling evidence to sway a jury. No matter how much you want to believe otherwise, the evidence didn't come anywhere close to meeting that bar, even if you include the stuff you alluded to that was excluded.

"[I know you are but what am I?]
Mine are based entirely in my disgust for Rittenhouse and how wrong his actions were from a gun ownership and self defense standpoint."

You understand that disgust is an emotion like hatred, right? You just acknowledged that your views on this case are based "entirely" on emotion. I called both you and the prosecutors out on numerous lies, and you haven't even bothered to backtrack on them. Your views are clearly not based on logic and facts.

It's really sad, because you could make valid arguments about Rittenhouse being a punk, and even irresponsible gun owner, but that does not make him responsible for Rosenbaum's violent actions against him nor the circumstances such as the shot Josh Ziminski fired, which for all he knew at the time could have been coming from his attacker.

It does seem like you really sympathize with Rosenbaum and were all for the violence he perpetuated against Kyle Rittenhouse.
