Nasty bit of work with a distinctly racist edge to him.

er bit of a stretch there with it's obviously grossly  insulting snti semitism. Unmimsy shocking and disgusting !

The Gazans WANT to liberated by having their water and electricity cut off - everyoone knows that - it doesnt need to be said ( zapok!) - how I wish I cd fly there now !

Dutarte - was v pop and known as Dutarte Harry - it looks as tho he allowed the police to shoot on sight the drug dealers whilst taking  abcj handers frrom the high ups - ho hum ....

I was taking you seriously right up until the last sentence. If you can mention a man trying to defend his country from terrorists alongside one trying to take over another country by force then any credibility you might have had has been defenestrated me old china.

no politician has the right to kill whoever they want

putin and netanyahu and mohammed daif all have arrest warrants out for them

[ToraToraTora]

10:43 Perhaps so but the the whole "arrest warrant" system is flawed if a leader is not alllowed to carry out the first duty of any leader, defend his nation then there is something wrong.

the warrant on netanyahu is not for defending his country, it is for suspected war crimes.

10:54 lot of it about me old china.

how did your (TTT) pink chllenge - I wanna be a mod - go?

I thought it was quite funny - (" I will act witout fear or favour, or poltical bias.I will take time to read the posts before I delete them....)

[Peter Pedant]

gawd I can see why untittled ( hi unittled - cooler I hope) was getting flakey about deletions

the whole of this thread reads like the ravings of a few mad people ( so what  makes is different to the usual  threads hur hur  hur)

Ay note the confusion between  south american drug barons and war crims in the middle east

that maniac in el salvador will hopefully get the same comeuppance as duterte

i do hope this case serves to remind people why the ICC exists in the first place. without an organisation like that duterte would be sitting with his feet up having gotten away with everything

[ToraToraTora]

The ICC ,like international law, is a load of old pony. There is no such thing.

you don't think slobodan milosevic should have been put on trial?

what else should be done with people who commit acts of genocide or tyranny?
