hot enough Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Quote PIK: Funny how people were upset that muslims being picked on, but the universities ''Israeli apartheid week'' and ''punch a zionist'' hardly received any media attention. Does this mean that you are in favor of Israel's apartheid policies? ================================= "Apartheid" isn't just a term of insult; it's a word with a very specific legal meaning, as defined by the International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid, adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in 1973 and ratified by most United Nations member states (Israel and the United States are exceptions, to their shame). According to Article II of that convention, the term applies to acts "committed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining domination by one racial group of persons over any other racial group of persons and systematically oppressing them." Denying those others the right to life and liberty, subjecting them to arbitrary arrest, expropriating their property, depriving them of the right to leave and return to their country or the right to freedom of movement and of residence, creating separate reserves and ghettos for the members of different racial groups, preventing mixed marriages — these are all examples of the crime of apartheid specifically mentioned in the convention. http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-makdisi-israel-apartheid-20140518-story.html Edited March 2, 2017 by hot enough clearer explanation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me your proof? Where is your evidence for this accusation other than what you read from the Huff Puff Post. It is an alleged rape. If there was a case against Trump for rape, and it did happen, the dumbocrats would be all over it along with the phony liberal media. Keep hoping and dreaming. Try not to lose any sleep over the bull. You mean like how there is a lawsuit where Trump already showed up in court for? You sound like a rape denier.

But anyway I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are telling me the truth, and so I would like you to show me as to when and where was his court appearance? This would have been front page news if this really happened, and you and I know it would because the lying fake media would have reporters all over the court. I await for your show and tell.

Did you see that recent commercial that is airing with one of the lady snakes plugging a piece of plastic for $50? It probably costs about 87 cents to bend a piece of plastic, and she wants $50 for it as it is some supposed exercise machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
