Hamas could end hostilities today by returning all hostages and surrendering its leaders to an international court.
there is no reason to believe that. the wall would still be there. palestinians would still be subject to arrest and imprisonment without trial. they would still suffer under a blockade.
OK so normally when you are accused of a crime, you hire a lawyer who advises you not to talk about the charges. Why? Because then you say dumb shit like “well it was manslaughter because he robbed me” when your defense was focused on casting doubt it was you who pulled the trigger.
this felt a little condescending, but i suppose some people might need to understand this.
i have to say that this does not seem cut-and-dry. i’m not interested in defending any politician, and trump less than most, but i also think that laws are bad and would err on the side of ignoring or abolishing the law in about every case. given this proclivity, my lack of expertise, and the lack of clarity, i’m of the opinion that this whole endeavor is a big waste of time and energy.
