  • Author Douglas Murray has slammed an article labelling English novelist George Orwell as homophobic.
    “None of this stuff is at all unknown - George Orwell in human being, shocker!” he told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi.
    “This is just an attempt to grab headlines by the author in question.”
    Mr Murray praised George Orwell for contributing some of the most important works of the 20th century, some of the most important journalism and some of the most important fiction.
    "Perhaps as a gay man, maybe I have some privilege to say this - I don’t give a damn that George Orwell didn’t think that gay people were exactly quite the same as, say, himself.
    “I don’t need him to be in total alignment with my views in 2023.”

The police cam footage and the official autopsy show that GF had no marks on him to show choking but had excessively high fentanyl in his system which was un-survivable. He caused his own demise. Chauvin was using an authorised and trained police manoeuvre of restraint which was not pressure on the neck. He was saying he couldn’t breath from the get go as clearly shown on the police cam (who were extremely patient with him). There are now 5 cops in prison who shouldn’t be there because of a political agenda.

Let me add: if Israel should have not retained its response, there would be hundred of thousands of dead. Once I backed the Palestinian cause, now, after what happened, no longer. This massacre of civilians sleeping in their houses and the fact that no muslim/woke people condemned it, made me open my eyes. Furthermore, I think now that I was wrong when making the distinction between anti-zionist and antisemitism, actually they are the same.

      @Muljinn Před 10 měsíci +2

      @7king8debs79 you might want to actually read up on what the conventions *actually* say about proportionality. Short form, not what you think.
      Civilian casualties are expected and allowed in active conflict zones by *state* actors when and *if* the action in question will meet a defined *military* objective and the expected amount of civilian casualties are commensurate to the expected gain. Example: blowing up an entire apartment complex to kill a single Hamas shovel head wouldn’t be acceptable. Blowing up the same complex to kill Hamas’ top military commander, *might* be, especially if there were no better means of eliminating said commander available and his death would severely cripple their operations.
      Incidentally, as a non-state actor, every violent thing Hamas & Co. have done in the last ~50 years is illegal under the Geneva Conventions. That’s a bit overly convenient for state actors in my opinion, but that’s what the rules as written say.

      I’m just not clear as to why my government (US) needs to send so much of my tax money to finance the Israeli military, or to finance Ukraine for that matter.

      We always thought the danger of racism and anti-Semitism came from the right, but we should have paid more attention to the left instead. Not enough people condemn these so-called "liberals" for behaving like racist or anti-Semitic pieces of garbage. This needs to change.

      Proportional response is a geopolitical strategy to keep world war at bay, not a moral imperative. I've heard him say very intelligent things in the past, but this isn't it at all.

      He was in Canada a short while ago, arguing against trusting the mainstream media. The question is, if some Canadian academic tried to argue against him now and called him "Doug" repeatedly (as then), would they be able to cope mentally with the results?

      @@TheDarkLasombra Are you suggesting that if Israel responds exactly in equal measure, then they can be assured that Hamas will no longer attempt to murder their babies, kidnap their children, and rape their women? Or are you arguing that Israel should be limited in its response and just deal with the fact that they may sometimes be woman-raped, child-kidnapped, and baby-beheaded?
      What Murray is arguing here is that the nature and degree of Israel's response should not be measured by the barbarity of the initial attack. That Israel's military aims should be measured on their own terms. In this case, taking steps to ensure that Hamas never again has the ability to invade, rape, kidnap, and behead their citizens. It's the same military goal that any country would be entitled to.

    This is what I love about Douglas Murray, he tells it like it is. He’s right about what happen with Kevin Spacey, and they do this with a lot of people. They write away somebody makes an accusation and they’re canceled over an accusation whether it’s true or not, they don’t care, they just canceled right away. When he was found not guilty, not a single personperson sad I feel so bad I thought he was guilty. Nothing nothing. Everybody was quiet. There were many people like myself that said it didn’t happen he didn’t
    The problem is with George Floyd, he was already saying he couldn’t breathe when they were trying to put them in a cop car, which had more room than the vehicle he was in for him to breed. His drug dealer that he got the fentanyl laced methamphetamine speedboat with in the car. He could not give testimony, because then it would open him up to being charged. So they didn’t charge him, he didn’t testify. Yet he’s a drug dealer. so explain that one. And there are countless officers who do training and someone that said the knee was never across the neck and if it slipped down, it was a split second and then he moved right back up. What happened with him was him dying because of the drugs he took. Know what happened if he hadn’t been pulled over and he was driving along with the two or three other people that were in the car with him and he decided to pull through a parking lot park with children are playing in someone. With this situation ago on the way it had, absolutely not. You wouldn’t have heard a single thing about it. The worst part is his parents sued the police station and won. Same thing with Michael Brown’s family, even though he attempted to kill a cop by taking the cops own gun while the cop was sitting in his vehicle. You know that they twist and turn everything.

      Pro Palestinians are gathering in large numbers thru Australia . We are no longer innocent when people are chanting gass the Jews. Until then I thought we were safe but the plan of marches is deeply disturbing. Antisemitism is alive & well in Australia. I was devastated. But we can’t pretend this isn’t happening. We must take a stand too with peaceful rallies.
