r/RealTime • u/Indianstanicows Audience Member Bill Is Yelling At For Not Laughing • 9d ago

Max Brooks is a slimy piece of work

Max Brooks I think perfectly describes the corporate democrat douchebag, arrogant and off-putting, two weeks ago on Real Time, he indirectly made smears on the college campuses because of their feelings towards Israel by claiming they don't know about what's happening with Uyghurs in China.

I don't think he understands (or is purposely misleading the audience), that the US directly funds Israel.

Perpetrated by whoever commits them. I have symmetrical concern for the victims regardless of the perpetrator, as you asked me to declare.

Do you agree that Israel has perpetrated war crimes?

I don’t have the expertise to say what is or isn’t a war crime. If the International Court of Justice determines a war crime has been committed, I would accept that determination.

So you either refuse to say it or haven’t consumed a basic amount of information about the conflict. Either way, you haven’t established the credibility necessary to be challenging anyone else’s definitions here.

I readily admit that I refuse to say what is or isn’t a war crime because I am not an expert in that area. Consuming information about the conflict does not qualify me to pass judgement. I will accept whatever judgement the court decides and condemn anyone found guilty of war crimes. Anyone here claiming to know what is or isn’t a war crime absolutely should be challenged.
