He wasn’t a combatant and he hadn’t killed anyone. He was an innocent bystander and even the IDF admit it.

Not sure why you put so much energy into making up a fake scenario.

What part of “no matter who does it” did you not understand.

I’m embarassed for you.

Killing civilians doesn’t avenge anything, no matter who does it.

Californians don’t live in Death Valley.

The countries with the hottest temperatures in inhabited areas are places like Kuwait.

Witty.

I don’t think anyone is surprised. It was well known. It is surprising that the court made this ruling, though.

You may be right. It may have been an innocent attempt to turn the discussion away from this landmark decision and back onto the more well trampled ground of US politics.

I like hypotheticals myself, but not when they are used to mislead.

Chiquita was the entity calling the shots and the death squads were killing and intimidating anyone who went against their commercial interests, including politicians.

For that reason, the hypothetical above reads like an attempt to pretend Chiquita was somehow a passive participant.

Speechless that two people have come in here to defend United Fruit Company/Chiquita for its well known use of death squads.

Remind me not to post about Nestlé.

Israel have already said that they are not interested in the agreement.

She might be a TOFI.

To determine that, I will need two pieces of information:

• do you stand to profit from the killing or intimidation of Palestinians?

• are you one of the US Government’s main sources of money and weapons?

This article makes it clearer.

It’s a false analogy. Chiquita were paying the paramilitary to do its bidding.

Here is a more in-depth article.

No, it’s like if you owned a massive chain of Italian restaurants that notoriously exploited people, and you were actively paying the mafia to intimidate your workers and to bust unions.

The judge saw through Chiquita’s ridiculous fabrication, I’m disappointed to see you parroting it here.

Great analogy.

Yet that rescued hostage from yesterday did not look very pregnant.

Out of order. You can easily make the same point without resorting to perpetuating a misogynist myth about rape.

Why on earth do you mostly have pro-terrorist facebook friends? Did you not realise you can just block people like that?

When I think of genocide, it comes to mind images of some evil dictator using poison gas in a population, chemical weapons, an atomic bomb, etc.

That’s just lack of education on your part, though. Neither the Cambodian Genocide nor the Rwandan Genocide would be a genocide according to you, but in reality these were two of the worst genocides in the last 50 years.

Come to think of it, neither would the Bosnian Genocide according to you, because it mainly targeted males for execution.

then cry genocide

The people who are “crying genocide” are those of us in the international community who know what a geenocide is, including experts in international law.
