  • And this is why victims do not get be the arbiters of justice, nor should they.

    This is why we have judges and juries. But enforcing a death penalty generally causes more trauma than it serves justice.

    This is why over 70% of the world’s countries have abolished or de facto abolished capital punishment. It doesn’t work, it doesn’t serve justice, and it only continues the cycle of violence.

    Just to give you an idea of how backwards the United States is on this issue:

    Since 1990, at least 11 countries have executed offenders who were minors (under the age of 18 or 21) at the time the crime was committed, which is a breach of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, ratified by all countries but the United States. These are: China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Sudan, the United States, and Yemen.[11][12][13] In the United States, this ended in 2005 with the Supreme Court case Roper v. Simmons, in Nigeria in 2015 by a law,[14] and in Saudi Arabia in 2020 by royal decree.

    Edit: I can’t claim to understand how you feel about your experience and what happened to you, which is why I didn’t address it. I hope that you and your loved ones have access to therapy and the ability to live your lives in peace.

    This is why victims are not on the juries of their perpetrators. If we allow feelings and emotions to get in the way of a fair unbiased justice system, it’s not the way we should do things.








  • Israel has grown accustomed to unquestioning and unwavering support from western governments and media.

    This is one of the first times they have received push back on their wild , inaccurate, propaganda.

    Pretty sure Israel government was in shock. It’s why even with the slightest investigations, we have been seeing that pretty much everything the IDF says or claims is either a complete fabrication or a stretch of the truth it’s disinformation at best.

    Even Joe Biden has been caught flabbergasted which is why he is only just now noticing that folks in his party are upset Joe is basically complicit in genocide.

    It’s wild to see the curtains pulled back on Netanyahu and the Israeli terrorist state and the genocidal IDF.

    I just hope the citizens there see the truth also and vote Netahahu and his trash party out of office.

    In the past they would lie to our faces and if anyone questioned them they would call them an antisemite.

    That won’t work anymore, and it upsets them when they have to try to justify genocide.
