  • How is that a fix? You added weight to my argument.

    “The world” is not letting it happen though. The USA were the only country to veto the 2 cease-fire Security Council resolutions early in the conflict, only to later propose a washed down, toothless resolution.

    The USA remains silent over the ICJ’s ruling after South Africa’s genocide case.

    The USA are the ones slapping Netanyahu on the wrist but still supplying him with weapons, money and intelligence.

    The fact that it’s a 10 year contract has nothing to do with the issue. Surely your weapons and money being used to perpetrate a genocide would be reason enough to breach the contract, if there was political will. The problem is, there isn’t.











  • Not defending anyone here, but a paedophile is someone who’s sexually attracted to prepubescent children. I believe these days it’s extended to the early stages of puberty as well.

    Most girls are well over that phase at age 14.

    A 23 year-old having sex with a 14 year old may be morally and legally wrong depending on culture and jurisdiction, but the cases where it’s actual paedophilia are likely a small minority.

    Again, I’m not defending anyone, but calling every person who’s attracted to minors a paedophile only serves to diminish the effect of the actual ones.

  • You don’t punish them per se, but you do sanction them.

    For example, Bolsonaro can’t leave the country even though he hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet.

    Also, someone who’s been accused of murder will probably be arrested preventatively if the judge in charge has reason to believe they will reincide before the proceedings are through.

    These things happen all the time and they’re designed to protect society from further damage from criminals who haven’t yet been fully judged and processed.
