The worrying thing is, this group of sub normal moral pigmies (and I include Bruce, whos not adverse to gilding the lilly) are the people advising our pollies.
Anyone wanting to know why we seem ruled by a cabal of people who hate us should be strapped to a gurney and forced to watch the proceedings.

Then look at the quality of top media “investigators”, FFS.

All of them university graduated mongs.

Too many Cats here are exploring rational and diplomatic solutions when you’re literally fighting against the embodiment of irrationality.

There’s a chap on You Tube who asks Israelis and Palestinians (for want of a better term) questions sent to him by viewers.
One question to Palestinians was, ‘Before Islam came, were your ancestors Jewish or Christian?’
Most responders answered that they had always been Muslim.
‘What, even before Mohammed?’ ‘Yes…always Muslim.’

Only one young woman, not wearing a hijab, conceded that her ancestors would have been either Jewish or Christian.

Not a scientific poll, to be sure, but probably reflects the prevailing worldview.

Re the Great War and staying out of it:
German Pacific territories above and below the Equator would have seen Australia involved anyway, in the absence of the Royal Navy. As would the hunting of German merchant cruisers targeting our exports to the Motherland.

A German victory would have seen at least Papua, and probably parts of northern Australia with few non-Aboriginal inhabitants, become German colonies, to add to German New Guinea.

I can’t bear to watch it any longer.

Listening to someone ooze lies and part truths and being so obvious and cocky about it has really upset me.

“Why would I?”. Utter contempt for the court.

Now who else used that phrase “Why would I?” recently, also demonstrating utter contempt, in his case for the electorate.

Is David Sharaz the same Sharaz that passed out on the Q&A panel a few years ago. I think he was with GetUp at the time.

IIRC, his name was Sheikh.

Is it standard practice for journalists to rely on contacts gathered by the plaintiff or plaintiffs proxy about the defendant without question, examination or independent inquiry?

Did he learn that was an appropriate investigative method in journalism school?

Does this tip the case from “careless, but believed in the truth of the matter” to “malicious and avoided checking because it might ruin the hit job”?

By rights, Channel 10 shouldn’t exist after this.

If the major Arab nations join in with the full force of their conventional armies, the problem is more substantial, but the record of conventional Arab armies against Israel is not good. Unless their performance is much improved, there would be higher casualties, but the nation of Israel would survive

The problem here is that, unlike the early Arab-Israeli wars, which were conventional conflicts, things have changed, and Israels opponents are using an asymmetric strategy, where combat power does not decide the outcome – guerillas ”win by not losing” …. they simply aim to persist until the will of their opponents home population fails.

In this case, the Israeli ‘home population’ includes the populations of the west, (from whence their economic and military support comes), and the ‘Gazan’ fighters includes the rest of the Arab world (because bombing gaza recruits them new supporters in Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank, and even London, Berlin, Sydney etc etc, etc…)

If enough Arab nations decided to attack Israel a modern conflict will be completely different. The failure of past attacks came down to Israel having much better trained personnel, delegation to unit commanders, better strategy and tactics and equal or superior hardware. The big problem is in a modern conflict those factors won’t be as important. It doesn’t matter how good missile defense is, saturation attacks will involve enough getting through to do serious damage.

JC

The Liars going out of their way to antagonise small businesses, including tradies.

Way to lose the (non-Muslim) suburbs.

If enough Arab nations decided to attack Israel a modern conflict will be completely different.

It would be even more one-sided. Not only would they have a massive technology gap but they also have a massive competency gap, morale gap and they would be fighting in Israel.

If Israel wanted to, it could take the Suez with a few thousand US dollars worth of baksheesh. The idea that the Egyptian army could take Tel Aviv is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

Once the Slime takes a few more inner-city Liars seats, and the Wood Ducks consolidate the doctors’ wives suburbs, the Liars will be reduced to a small rump party, pining for the fjords.

One of the most bizarre exchanges in the defamation case came when Mr Lehrmann’s barrister Matthew Richardson SC, asked about the legitimacy of the allegations, telling the court there were no witnesses and no cameras in the ministerial suite when Ms Higgins alleges Mr Lehrmann raped her.

‘There were just two people behind closed doors?’ he asked, using one of the more common figures of speech in the English language.

Mr Llewellyn, appearing confused, replied: ‘Closed doors? Is that plural?’

There was an audible gasp from the public gallery as it appeared Mr Llewellyn was not aware of the saying ‘behind closed doors’.

‘Is that seriously your answer?’ Mr Richardson asked.

Angus talking back to the KC, eliciting interventions by the judge, denying obvious contradictions in Hoggins’ story.
Believes he did nothing wrong.
Didn’t give any alternative facts to Hoggins’ a chance.
Didn’t provide adequate time for responses from Brucie, Brown etc.. prior to broadcast.

Total bias, blind spot for the Hog, dismissed any other responses or criticism of the Hog’s version of events.
Richardson close to speechless at times.

Like talking to a wall, a stonewall.
Toad will have to wait.

Gilas.

The toads only strategy will have to be “I was just reading what was put in front of me/ I trusted my research team…

Perhaps she could plead the belly?

Judge said they’re staying today for as long as it takes to finish with this moron.
Then they have tomorrow & Friday for Saint Lisa.
Judge rearranged his Friday for a clear run.

If Lee gives BH & BL a serve in his judgement, I can only imagine what he’s going to say about this chump.

Wish me luck Cats, for tomorrow. I must gird, and perhaps unleash my lions for Dad’s funeral. They are non-blubbing lions of course.

I have been whirling like a dervish getting the house ready for the morning tea afterwards (Presbyterian-speak for wake). And the food. Much…much food.

And then…bother. I’m doing a little gaggle of photos for the table and there’s Dad, a rosy cheeked four year old in a tiny bow tie. Must have been his “Sunday school” clothes. The photo would have cost my grandparents money they could ill-afford, but they had it done nonetheless.

This death caper stinks. So glad there’s hope at the end of it.

Perhaps she could plead the belly?

Same thing but more general – “plead the gender”.

Sentence commuted for a lifetime of victimhood and stalking the elite for invites a la GraceT & others.

Paul Joseph Watson

At one level, you can feel a little sorry for the SINKset, but on another, you can also laugh and repeat:
“Decisions have consequences.”
What sort of thinking process goes on in these womens minds? A bloke, not quite so much – a 45 year old bloke can still start a family, but a 45 year old woman? Unless they go down the adoption route – and if they’re white Christian, and het, they’ll be refused.

‘There were just two people behind closed doors?’ he asked, using one of the more common figures of speech in the English language.

Mr Llewellyn, appearing confused, replied: ‘Closed doors? Is that plural?’

There was an audible gasp from the public gallery as it appeared Mr Llewellyn was not aware of the saying ‘behind closed doors’.

Dumb as a bag of hammers, I wonder if that was a criterion on the job description a feature of his resume, or both?

I wish I hadn’t been stirred to read that SMH article about Mizzzz Rose. It’s doing my head in. Makes me depressed to see politicians being corrupted by gooey green activists in plain sight like that. I feel like I’ve had to wade through a room ankle deep in sewage. Yet another reason why the Liberal Party must be obliterated politically. Don’t they realize who they’ve invited into their parlour?

Johnny Rotten:

This is of course all BS according to the Buddhists, Hindus, Incas, Aztecs and many others.

Of course it is. But if their Good Book states it as a definite fact, then they all believe it. And they all enforce it.
And that’s why Christians etc are such terrible people – they have rejected Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful. And so must pay the price of head/body separation.

I think the most hospitable Islamic ME country to foreigners is Oman. We found Omanis charming and helpful. I am not sure if this is due to the long reign of the late Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who was educated in England and thoroughly modernised Oman, or to Oman’s long history as a trading nation

True, this. All the Omanis I’ve worked with or met in ME were informed, curious and open to discussion – in fact they seem to like nothing more than having a good chat over coffee about the world, islam in all its forms and politics. Despite the recent terrible examples, there are muslims who make the world a better place but they don’t get in the news much.

Israel has Nukes. The Arabs don’t. Iran may get them. I wonder what Israel will do then. Guesses anyone?

Apparently Iran is just weeks away from having enough fissile material for one.
The issue is one of “Will they get enough for one and use it, or will they get enough for 10 or so and blackmail the West with destruction of the cities of New York, Washington, Berlin, London and Paris?”

As you state, you do not have a “winning strategy” to offer. Neither do you offer a strategy for a withdrawal to a safe haven. All that you offer is a counsel of despair. That is not helpful

Dr Duk covers BJs eyes, directs him past the ‘painful truths’ door and points him to the ‘comforting lies’ room … you will be safe in there.. until you aren’t.

I can see why you were an anaesthetist, now try rooly rooly hard to come up with a positive strategy, even if is as simple as re-house Israel elsewhere.

OK, seeing as you asked: the problem here is *irreconcilable differences* between Judaism and Islam. To ‘win’ here, Israel would need to eliminate *every muslim* in Gaza, and every muslim elsewhere in the world, and every copy of the koran, and all other knowledge of islam, and every ‘useful idiot’ in the west, all without getting eliminated itself by Iranian nukes, or human waves across the border, and to retain a functioning economy, in the desert, after being ostracised by every country in the world .. off you go.

Sydney Cats get another chance to wash quilts tomorrow.
Maybe wash overnight.
Hang it out when you wake up.
39 degrees throughout the day will make it nice and crisp by sundown.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your good wishes and kindness. This is a tougher gig than I expected. I remember dear Splatacrobat (the one with the Terry Thomas gravatar) on SincCat, and his beautiful post about his Dad.

It has always stayed with me, and now I know the reason.

There are so many old Cats that I miss. But they’re still around the traps. I spotted Tiny Dancer over at C.L.’s the other day. Now all we need is Pickles so we can live-blog Ben Hur’s chariot race.

Rest in peace, you soldiers of Israel.

May the Almighty gather them to their fathers.

They all have names, and they will all be missed.

Now that made me laugh, Zulu. You sod.

Don’t do it Sam. If I recall, the one LNP member of Qld Parliament who had a solid increase in his majority in the last state election.

You have expanded on your thesis, but still have NOT come up with even the hint of a positive future strategy for the survival of the population of Israel in the future you envision. If it’s too hard, just say so and I can ignore your future comments on the subject.

Is it safe ?
