If you had provided an analytical statistical source instead of "three well-known individuals" we wouldn't be having this discussion.

China loves to bend poorer nations to its will through massive loans, with exorbitant interest, most recently through its One Belt One Road initiative (https://archive.ph/wHYlP).

Increased trade with France would simply give window-dressing to China's loansharking.

So 3 out of 341,352,598 Americans then, according to you. And you feel that's a fair representation.

Seems to me you forgot to put on your critical thinking cap today.

girlfreddy OP , to World News in West Bank: Israel Defense Forces accused of possible war crime
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Because the BBC did the investigation, not an governmental or international police service. Therefore they can't (and shouldn't) find guilt or innocence. They can only show the facts as they have found them, which then allows the gov/international services to decide whether or not to investigate.

It's not a perfect system, but then which one is these days?

There's many reasons ... maybe the news source doesn't have publishing rights to the video, sometimes it's out of respect for the dead (that they not be used as "death porn" for clicks), and sometimes it's for the living who don't need to see their son - yet again - lying slaughtered in the street.

True, but the following paragraphs from the article are telling ...

But several former Israeli soldiers who viewed the BBC's evidence said they believed Israel’s legal system would protect soldiers who used lethal force, regardless of whether it was justified.

One former sergeant who served in the West Bank from 2018-2020, said it would take "an Israeli soldier murdering a Palestinian at zero range for it to be taken as murder in Israel" and "there is basically a 0% chance of criminal proceedings" against a soldier in cases such as Adam's.

Because the investigation was concluded and the findings released. Same way cops would do it in most Western nations.

As a Canadian it's hard to watch the American judicial system be towed under by their radical, secessionist minority to the point they're at now.

I'm glad Trudeau opened up the Canadian Constitution in '82 to be updated with our rights and freedoms.
