You just can't get your silly little head around it!

It is illegal to target civilians or fire indiscriminately.
Hamas guilty.
It is illegal to fire from civilian area.
Hamas guilty.

If you are fired on by war criminals like that, you may fire back even if civilian casualties are inevitable, but you must give warnings as IDF do, and it must be proportionate to the military importance of the target.

Criminal missile systems and tunnels targeting civilians would be the EXTREMELY important targets.

"We just tried to explain the legal position to you Jim."
No you haven't - you've given us the invented situation of Human Shields and hidden caches of arms in hospitals as an excuse of wholesale slaughter of non-combatants (you actually had a hissy-fit once once I suggested you supported the killing of hostages - now you are openly advocating it)
From day one Israel saw fit to slaughter everyone within range - after the first few atrocities they came up with 'Human Shield' as an excuse, and went on doing it.
Around ten hospitals and refugee centres, 100+ schools and medical centres and over 1,000 non-combatants later - surprise, surprise - their propaganda machine has coughed up weapons hidden in the walls of the last one and their extremist Zionist press has pumped out these 'findings' as an excuse for continuing to slaughter civilians.
There are no actual figures, but it is estimated that 7 out of 10 of those slaughtered in Gaza are civilians.
The actual armed opposition dead (automatically described as "terrorist" by terrorist Israel, of course) is unknown, but the percentages indicate that it is the result of random rather than planned attack - you have supported both - why not - you have your nose wedged so far up the Israeli arse that you wouldn't know if they had used a nuclear weapon.
The U.N. has dithered as to whether the Israeli behaviour breaches war rules - (a sick concept in itself).
Humanitarian organisations have unequivocally sated they are committing war crimes and human rights abuses- I'll go with them - no doubt which side you choose.
Would I like you to explain it to me again?
No, thanks all the same Keith - the idea that you, of all people, are in a position to explain anything to anybody is entertainment enough for one day - a girl can only take so much, after all!!

"Thatcher evinced any support for Pinochet or his regime pre-1980 and that even post 1980 "
Thatcher turned the good offices of the Conservative Party over to a murderous South American right-wing dictator, held a rally in his support in Kensington while he was under house-arrest a couple of miles down the road, awaiting a decision as to whether he would have to face trial for mass murder
She had the hall draped with crossed British and Chilean flags and she and one of her cohorts stood up on the platform and declared him a friend of Britain and his behaviour in Chile as a shining example of democracy as she saw it.
She accused the then government of the day, who were considering his extradition to face trial of "operating a police state".
Im over the moon that you should compare him with a seventeenth century demagogic butcher and describe them both as "good" - sorry - son't understand good/bad - they were both despotic, murderous thugs - making you, in supporting them - what exactly - a good/bad right wing extremist, maybe?

Ah Christmas, so you have no evidence whatsoever that Margaret Thatcher evinced any support for Pinochet or his regime pre-1980 and that even post 1980 what "support" she did voice was restricted to the fact that Pinochet and Chile gave invaluable covert assistance to the British during the Falklands crisis and that he and his Government laid the foundations for Chile's return to democratic Government - in British history Pinochet's direct parallel would be Oliver Cromwell (A good bad man - who actually saved Parliament - from itself, and laid the foundations for the "Constitutional Monarchy").

Now let me see Christmas:

Evidence of Margaret Thatcher's support for General Augusto Pinochet prior to 1980?

I select 1980 as that was the date that Margaret Thatcher made a commercial decision in favour of British industry - not in favour of Chile or its Government. That decision was to reap benefits for Great Britain only two years later when British territory was invaded and occupied.

Allende's Government ignored the Chilean Constitution, one of the reasons it was overthrown. Pinochet was instrumental in ensuring that a new Constitution was drawn up in consultation with the people of Chile through referenda. He limited the term of office of the President and stood down when he had completed his own term of office.

Thatcher's take on democracy
Was Thatcher's Friendship with Augusto Pinochet Indefensible?
APR 28, 2013
The very public eulogies given by Margaret Thatcher's ideological descendants in the wake of her death were seen by many to be a cynical attempt to push a neoliberal narrative of modern British history in a time economic strife. It was obvious, claimed her detractors, that several subjects would not be covered in any depth in the broadcast media, no more so than her policy of legislating state sanctioned homophobia and her support for authoritarian dictatorships across the globe.
In the name of freedom, Thatcher cultivated close relationships with some of the worst regimes on Earth, including Saddam Hussein's Iraq (pre-Kuwait invasion), Suharto's Indonesia and Pol Pot's Cambodia. But even her relationship with Suharto, a perpetrator of genocide whom she described as "one of our very best and most valued friends," cannot be compared to the closeness expressed in her friendship with Augusto Pinochet.
If we were to accept Thatcher's rhetoric of the defence of civilisation, democracy and freedom, Pinochet would seem an unlikely ally, let alone a close friend and confidant. Following the United States directed destabilisation of the Chilean economy, Pinochet came to power in a bloody CIA-backed coup in 1973, overthrowing the legitimate democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. He immediately suspended all political activity and the constitution.
Following the coup, a Chilean army death squad named Caravana de la Muerte, the "Caravan of Death," flew aeroplanes which dropped the mutilated corpses of political opponents into the sea.[1] Despite minimal military opposition to the coup, Pinochet's government waged a war of savage repression against the Chilean people, and thousands of Chileans were murdered because of their political affiliation.[2]
Many more trade unionists, leftists and their families were not murdered but faced tortures so unimaginably gruesome that death would have been preferable for them. In an estimate widely considered to be overly conservative, the Valech Commission concluded that over 40,000 Chileans were subject to torture by the Chilean secret police.[3]
It is worth examining the personal testimony of those who were held captive by Pinochet's secret police to get an idea of how this systematic repression was experienced. Political activist Nieves Ayres and her family were snatched from her home by the Chilean secret police. As American historian Temma Kaplan recounts:
"Once at the prison camp, agents questioned Ayress for hours to gain information about liberal intelligence. She refused to answer and suffered immense torture. Ayress's torture began with nude beatings. Agents yelled insults at her while they beat her. They screamed, "Speak, red dog, or we will shoot your father and brother in front of you!" Each day her torture worsened. Agents sliced her skin and burnt her with cigarettes. Then they hung her from the ceiling and crammed tree limbs and coke bottles into her vagina and anus. As the days passed Ayress endured more gruesome treatment. Tortures stripped her naked and placed her on metal bedsprings where they shocked her tongue and vagina. Guards employed animals to conduct torture on Ayress and forced her to endure rape by Dobermans. They also shoved starved rats into her vagina. She screamed as the rats ripped and tore their way out. Guards raped Ayress over 40 times and consequently she became pregnant. She feared that if her tortures learned of her pregnancy she would face maniacal experimentation on her foetus. She kept quiet about her pregnancy but as a result of endless torture miscarried."[4]
This use of systematic sexual violence as a form of political punishment was routine. An account recalls from the Valech Report states that:
"For women, it was an especially violent experience. The commission reports that nearly every female prisoner was the victim of repeated rape. The perpetration of this crime took many forms, from military men raping women themselves to the use of foreign objects on victims. Numerous women (and men) report spiders or live rats being implanted into their orifices. One woman wrote, "I was raped and sexually assaulted with trained dogs and with live rats. They forced me to have sex with my father and brother who were also detained. I also had to listen to my father and brother being tortured."[5]
These desperately alarming testimonies should provoke untold disgust in anyone with a conscience, but Thatcher chose to dismiss any such sentimentalism. In 1999, she dismissed opposition to the man responsible for the systematic rape of tens of thousands of women as latent pinko "poisonous prejudices".[6] These words would have been utterly contemptible if they were expressed during her time in office.
Thatcher apologists have attempted to justify her support for Pinochet by citing the dictator's support for Britain during the Falklands conflict, arguing that the Falklands left Britain with "a debt of honour".[7] Yet such statements ignore her pre Falklands admiration of Pinochet. As staunch admirers of Hayek and fanatical anti-Communists, she and Pinochet were natural allies. In 1980, the year after Thatcher became Prime Minister and two years prior to the Falklands War, Thatcher lifted Britain's arms embargo on Pinochet's Chile.[8]
After Pinochet's covert support for Britain during the Falklands War, the personal relationship between Thatcher and the dictator went far beyond that of two heads of state, with the Pinochet family visiting the Thatchers in London annually. This continued long after Thatcher's time in office. In retirement, the pair regularly had tea parties together.
Much to the consternation of both, reality eventually interrupted their cups of tea and lady fingers when Pinochet was indicted for human rights violations by Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón.[9] Thatcher did everything in her power to ensure that he would not face justice for his crimes.[10] During the legal battle to avoid extradition to Spain, she regularly visited Pinochet, and lobbied Tony Blair's government in public to ensure that he would not be extradited. In a gross perversion of reality, she compared the Blair government's treatment of Pinochet to that of a police state.[11]
In the full knowledge that Thatcher was not on their side, the peoples of Latin America mostly contemptuously ignored her death. Unsurprisingly, the tiny minority of Chileans who recall fond memories of Pinochet chose to mourn the passing of their dictator's backer.[12]
Supporters must remember that part of her legacy was her support for a man responsible for thousands of murders and the systematic use of torture and rape. A total lack of empathy for the victims of Augusto Pinochet is part of that legacy too, and demonstrates that Thatcher failed to meet even the most minimal standards of human decency.

The role of women in society, and the acceptance of ANY sort of sexual orientation are completely different and should not be lumped together as if they were the same.

Many form of sexual orientation are not accepted and some and are even criminalised here in the UK.

It was in April and the title was "Islamic Radicalism."

But, SRS, people have their hobbies, you know; which, notoriously, can sometimes become obsessive...

You had dozens of threads about it. The only thing demonstrated there is that Mudcat has a core group of participants who keep arguing about the same disputes over and over and expect a different outcome.

Sounds familiar . . .

Oh, yeah, that's one illustration of insanity.

The UN Middle East envoy also stated his belief that militant Islamism was the greatest threat to world peace.
We had a thread about it.

Thats you fucked then.

Bugger off and start your own like minded militia eh? Darwin had a bit to say about survival and the bigot gene seems to be dying out as the species evolves. You see that kind of talk when reporters and journalists interview far right thugs at marches so we can all laugh at their lack of intellect.

Just when you think he can't sink any lower, he proves you wrong...

The action being taken by Israel certainly looks disproportionate, but the West sometime in the not to distant future may have to take similar action against Islamist extremists.

Sometimes, everything boils down to survival.

So start a thread about the role of the Anglican church in Ugandan law?

One interesting aspect of such threads is that they can be about current affairs. If Israel wasn't punishing the Palestinian people for democratically voting for their leaders, murdering well over a thousand people in the last couple of weeks...

You use of "far worse" is subective to say the least....
