      Ah but you see they’re antisemites, because as we know facts and the truth is antisemitism.

    Displacement, starving, denying humanitary aid, firing indiscriminate into self designated safe zones.

    Yup no evidence here.

    Blocking food from entering Gaza to starve its inhabitants and turning the entire territory into rubble isn’t genocide? As much as I am for destroying Hamas, the civilian populace shouldn’t have to suffer for it.

      While this headline is absolutely despicable, let’s not forget there’s plenty of lawyers who’ve given up many comforts to fight for good instead. They will be tearing this up.

      Judging lawyers just for being lawyers does not help our case. Judge lawyers for being evil, cheer on those who choose to make the world a better place.

    But that’s such a ridiculus argument; is truth denying a new lawyer tactic?

      Always has been. And in the case of criminal defense, fine whatever, everyone has the right to a defense and it is the duty of the defender to try everything legal that could help his client.

      But in the case of arms exports it is just pure evil to argue like this.

    No evidence? Yeah, good luck defending that one, guys. Like, not enough you could definitely argue for, but none is laughable.

    At this point Israel is leading the genocide … and the majority of the world’s governments are complicit
