I live in a country with a nominally ‘labor’ government that has stood in the way of unions protesting the genocide in Gaza and is actively working to suppress union led protests.

We in the west are in for a very rude shock in the coming years. Today it’s clamping down on protests for Palestine, tomorrow its teargas and truncheons for strikers.

A lot of people don’t understand that if we don’t stand up for the Palestinians, we won’t have a snowballs chance when it comes to seriously protesting our own governments and the corporations that control them.

Executing children in the street, for the crime of being Palestinian.

This is what genocide looks like.

No, it isn’t. You can fully believe in people’s ability to rehabilitate and change, while also being aware that not everyone rehabilitates and changes.

The needs of the perpetrator of a crime need to be balanced against the needs of society at large. This is why you get your license taken away from you when you drink and drive, or why you end up on a sex offenders register.

In this case, there’s a valid argument to be made that this person represents a danger to society, and the need to protect/inform people from him outweighs his desire to not have past crimes revealed.

Hard to make the poor people richer when the rich are taking an increasingly large share of the pie.

Do you work for arpeture science or something?

Now let’s see the responses… I’ll give three to one odds we get some links from Haaretz. ADL if we’re lucky?

What’s a tankie?

Well I certainly wouldn’t call myself a neoliberal. A neoliberal is somebody that believes in free market economics. It doesn’t have anything to do with the term ‘liberal’ as used in US politics, ya stooge.

neoliberal

You keep using that word, I don’t think you know what it means.
