Since 2001 Palestinian rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from Gaza have killed 28 people. You can't justify Israel invading Gaza and killing 1000+ Palestinians as defence.
ok, i appoint you the virtual head of israel
what would be your actions to stop attacks on your citizens?
"As far as the voting process was concerned, the initial conclusion of the MEPs - and the wider EU mission - was that it had generally gone well. Despite some problems, there was nothing which would indicate that the final result was not the outcome chosen by the voters."
it's probably only me but i'd say if hamas was elected in rigged elections, it would give some hope for the future
do you have fhsw installed?
I cant seem to find where to add what SSK and Tuia told me. I will post screen shots soon of what my BF looks like on a mac and maybe you guys can help me
so israel says they won't leave gaza until they destroy all the tunnels because they find them dangerous and you use them to do some 4v1 and kidnap a gun?
great idea, congrats, if it wasn't you who posted it, i might think it's israeli propaganda fake video to justify their actions
ok, i give up, there must be some communication barrier or something
Do you know what does in law "appeal" mean?
yes, those who are found guilty appeal in the hope of getting the sentence revoked/reduced
prosecutors appeal if the defendant is found innocent or if the sentence is too light
in this case prosecutor appealed against the sentence he requested
i suppose you're trying to prove that that trial had nothing to do with his "political" activities and at least for me, it still looks quite the opposite
Navanly was never imprisoned because there were not enough proofs of his guilt from the prosecutor's side.
"On 18 July 2013, Navalny was sentenced to five years in jail for embezzlement. Navalny was found guilty in misappropriating about 16 million rubles[59] (US$500,000) worth of lumber from a state-owned company."
i'm getting confused here, so he's innocent until proven guilty, there are not enough proofs and yet he's found guilty and sentenced to 5 years in prison?
It's a funny thing that you are trying to assure me that I live under dictatorship.
i'm not
i said putin didn't even have to be a "text book" dictator to keep his power
see above
Navalny? As far as I remember, he is not imprisoned.
that's what i said, i remember him being sentenced to prison and suddenly released and everyone was like wtf
i've look it up, prosecutor who got what he wanted (prison sentence for him) suddenly appealed to the sentence he originally asked
you might have more insider info than me, no idea why that happened, did they decide they got what they wanted? or did he back off and cut a secret deal?
The committee stated that he had conspired to steal timber from KirovLes, a state-owned company in Kirov Oblast in 2009, while acting as an adviser to Kirov's governor Nikita Belykh.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Navalny
In 2009, he was just a local official, he had nothing to do with opposition.
and that's why his legal problems started only when he started to be a "trouble"
P. S. Joint, could you please say something about Dzhgurda? I have no words to explain who this person is.
opa dzhigurda!

But he is not a communist.
and?
s[sk] wrote:yes, he needs to fix some problems with opposition here and there but throughout the years, he found a great way - they just get accused with some made up shit and either back off or get a vacation in some nice prison
Any facts?
i'm sure you won't believe me i have hard time remembering all those russian names i read about (i currently remember only giants like Putin, Lavrov and Dzhigurda) but let's say Navalny?
he's fine until the moment he runs starts organizing some demonstrations and suddenly he's being accused of stealing wood, robbery, frauds, you name it
funny thing was that he got sentenced to don't remember how many years in prison and then they suddenly changed their minds and released him? a convicted criminal?
How's everything ? Talking down to russians in a lofty and schoolmasterly way is very comfortable, isn't it ?
i was asked a question, i gave my opinion about the topic
Our strategy of toppling regimes -Irak, Lybia, Ukraine- is a stupidity.
i have no strategy about those regimes but i would love to hear about yours ;-)
and what could be his motivations? like comunism dictatature in the world, or revenge for cold war losing? maybe he dont care of international laws nor own people freedom and interests and he just play for the absolute power?
used to think it's only about power and his dreams about great soviet union being reborn, currently i'm leaning more to the usual stuff - power + money
you need power to be able to get a nice chunk of money
to have power, you need support
he's kinda lucky that he's the head of russia - dictators in other countries need to use military against own people to keep their posts
he just needs some propaganda to show to his people how the whole world fears their great leader and they love him
he annexes crimea and what happens? his popularity at home skyrockets
yes, he needs to fix some problems with opposition here and there but throughout the years, he found a great way - they just get accused with some made up shit and either back off or get a vacation in some nice prison - no more bloody murders or polonium poisonings
his only problem is that he needs properly balance the shit he's doing to impress russians and also not go too far to not piss his oligarchs too much (those sanctions, while still imho weak are starting to bother some so he will probably find a way to back off while still looking like a great winner at least to those watching kremlin tv - and i'm sure even US government will help him with that for tactical reasons)
so yea, just an ordinary political marketing tailored for his peasants
putin doesn't shoot, putin plays a chess game
i've just summarized the situation over there
real ukrainians shoot, ukrainians who want to be russians shoot, russians that pretend to be ukrainians shoot, russians that pretend they're not shooting from russia shoot
did i miss someone?
Omg... im on a mac and i dont know what to do. I need help!!!!

but who we are to judge? they probably like it better how it's now, being islamic republics
By the way, when I talk about using "force, weapons, etc.", I am not talking about indiscriminately firing rockets into some populated area or deliberately attacking or killing civilians, which is a crime, no matter if Israelis or Palestinians are doing it and that has nothing to do with self-defense.
so what's wrong with what i'm saying that they should stop supporting hamas?
Ideological work, education and human rights compliance are very expensive. It costs a lot of money and takes years of work.
not sure what you meant by "ideological" because imho there's ideological overflow and that's a part of the problem
i'm all for better education for palestinians
Just blah blah, Israel has broken the ceasefire hundreds of times in the past whenever it suited them. They know they have the upper hand because they are militarily stronger, so they don't have to make any concessions. Unfortunately the Palestinians always make the mistake of reacting to Israels provocations, thus always giving them the excuse to "fight against terrorism" (i.e. cripple the Palestinian infrustructure, grab more land).
so what's your solution? giving better weapons to hamas?
it has all to do with Hamas because they keep shooting their stupid rockets into Israeli territory, giving them an excuse for their actions
those rockets never hit anything, they're basically totally useless in any way other than trying to provoke the response
Israeli ministers agreed to extend a 12-hour truce with Hamas by four hours even as the Islamist group that rules Gaza rejected the pause and fired rockets and mortars at Israel’s south.
Of course, all these houses belongs to the terrorists... So, where is this fucking "international community" when the Palestinian citizens needs them?
"international community" has been bitching quite a lot about it
just didn't see anyone telling palestinians that not supporting terrorist organizations might help in the long run
try getting some migs, i don't think someone would sell falcons to hamas
It's a positive thing, it does not freeze the game, for those players who do not have it patched.

I thought this part is most questionable.
well, since separatists still claim they did not have any Buk and as such had no means to shoot down that plane, one of them claiming the opposite is a valuable information
the rest, where he basically says it's ukraine's fault because if they knew about Buk in their hands, they should have diverted all planes from that area, is just a bonus
The translation is incorrect and is not complete. He's telling about supposition, not about fact.
He said:
The question should be considered in the context that Ukraine got the forehand evidence that rebels had this vehicle in the name of Russia and did nothing to ensure the safety and provoked the use of this kind of this weapons regarding to the plane with civilians.
that part is actually not interesting (and sounds just apologetic), what about the first part? is he saying that he knew/heard about buk in separatist controlled area that was supposedly sent back (where?)
idk, anyhow but not as it is now, ppl die for nothing, how about at first cease fire and involve inrernational watchers, lawers and stuff, third side, like in a democratic europian way and to let people a bit power and rights
and what you think, antiterror operation should go on?? what would be better and correctly to do, have you some solutions?
it's a bad situation that doesn't seem to have a good solution (unless those separatists would just put down their weapons and flee to russia or face trials)
didn't it all start in the pretext that those bad children-eating fascists from kiev are coming to kill everyone?
what would happen if all those armed separatists just disappeared? would civilians live in those areas be endangered by anything/anyone?
I'd ask Russia what would they do if part of their territory got occupied by paramilitary forces led by foreign citizens. I'm not sure whether they'd call OSCE.
