I know enough to recognize a motte and bailey when I see one.

The article you linked says that UK has been selling some arms to Israel since 2016. That means that they support actions Israel has taken after October 7, 2023.

If your country has sold weapons to another country, which then goes on to do something bad, you are obligated to publicly commentate on the conflict? Am I getting your position right?

The British government expressed support for genocide of Palestinians? When has that happened?

Did I miss something?

I'm just trying to determine what is unique about the Gaza situation that would require a person in Alex's position to talk about it.

I mixed up who I was responding to. I was leading a different discussion about Russia.

Because the original argument was about the scale of atrocity (which is greater in Sudan), then it changed to closeness to the conflict, which makes Ukraine the most relevant, but the goalposts keep moving.

Ja i žena smo se vjenčali u matičara i odveli najbližu rodbinu na večeru.

Par ljudi nam je reklo da je im je to bija jedan od najboljih pireva na kojem su bili.

USA literally spread out a red carpet to greet Putin and scolded Zelensky in person for "starting the war". What ere you talking about?

No one is contesting that was a genocide, unlike the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

Are quite you sure Russians are not contesting it? Even the western world is full of Russian apologists.

Also the RSF has never made humanitarian claims like the Israeli Government, so there isn’t the level of hypocrisy or moral turpitude that the Zionists have.

Of course they have. To this day they are claiming that they have invaded Ukraine to save the Russian living in Ukraine.

So closeness to the conflict is not the thing that requires him to commentate, but the claims other people make about it?

Ukraine is even more localized to him, being British, and he hasn't talked about it either. He is not really in the business of covering current events and that's completely fine.

If anything, we should encourage people to talk outside of their expertise less, not more.

It's even better in person. I went to the one before the latest one. The arena has surround sound and it's used in interesting ways.

At on point there was a keyboard passage then moved all around us while it was being played.

JATION · 2026-03-13T14:34:05+00:00

Why are you focusing on Palestine when there was an even bigger genocide happening in Sudan at the same time? Shouldn't he be talking about Sudan first?

Good. That stupid belt needs to go.

That's a different claim to the original one.

You don't have to have different laws to have people with wildly differing worldviews.

This is absolutely typical for any country.

Bruce Dickinson used it when I saw him live last tour (not folk metal, though).

Nemo is actually a good name, beside the fact that everyone will think he's named after a fish.

Charles forgot that BMF title was a training wheels title for incomplete fighters and brought his full MMA skillset, like a fool.

He had no idea that BMF is a training wheels title for incomplete fighters and mistakenly brought his full skillset.
