[albionism]

And so fucking what if they were! Doesn't justify the bombing of the building.

Read the thread. They weren't.

The film sarasara links to was made at the beginning of the operation solid lead.

The bombing of the media towers was towards the end of the operation solid lead.

Exactly my point. Hamas firing rockets from buildings used by journalists. Glad you got it at last.

Uh, actually a reaction of someone being informed of something doesn't actually prove anything, does it, merely that the idea of it happening caused a reaction.

If you're going to spin, it's best to weave whole cloth from what you spin.

You can wear blinkers over your eyes but you cant hide the truth:

"Truth" is infinitely flexible, as I'm sure you know. It's whatever you want it to be, and remains the truth right up until you're unable to sustain your claim to it's veracity.

I'd say that we've long reached that point on this thread. You say that your version is truth, others say that your version is false. The weight of evidence currently available militates against your version of truth.

I sometimes imagine that there's an 'adopt a wingnut' programme being run someplace, so that every site gets one. We've lost JC, pbman and Rachamim, but now we've been assigned a new one.
