Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts including campaign-finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud. It were more serious allegations.

There is no chance for him to go to jail. Such sentencing will be appealed to Supreme Court and you know what will happen next.

But not vote! One vote down.

The question was asked about what can you possibly charge.

What charges you are talking about? There is nothing unlawful in flying whatever flags at your home, including swastika. The only thing I am not sure about is the upside down flag.

In what sense? I am stating that less than two civilians are killed for every militant.

There are Hamas estimates of total death (~35,000). UN estimates are just Hamas estimates. There are Israel estimates ~30,000. Hamas estimates are for all deaths (including from natural causes and including due to Hamas rockets falling in Palestine). So the numbers are quite similar. I have seen different estimates how many Hamas militants were killed. The smallest is ~13K. If we take the largest number for total population killed (35K) then it is 22K civilians and 13K militants, with the ratio less than 2:1.

What Hamas did, was terror act, not genocide. What Israel does is war with Hamas in Urban territory where civilian to militant ratio 2:1 is considered to be much better than average urban warfare.

And her we come back to civilian vs militants kill ratio, which is much lower than average numbers for urban warfare. You statement is just not supported by statistics.

These are act of genocide. True, but the intent matters too (and I am sure it is described in the document you are linking to). And destruction of Hamas is not the intent compatible with genocide. If Israel wants to destroy citizens of Gaza as a group, then it is doing really shitty job, since somehow the civilian to military ratio is well below expectations for urban warfare.

Yes the intent matters. Israel intent is to destroy Hamas. That’s not genocide.

Actually, Putin does want to destroy the concept of Ukraine and he said it is not a real country.

It is called ethnic cleansing in this case, not genocide.

Wow, your intelligence is blinding. You should be careful with that.

… preemptively.

It is a war and an urban warfare with civilian to combatant death ratio less than 2:1, while according to civiliansinconflict.org, typical ratio is more like 10:1.

You might want to argue it is an unjustified war, but genocide it is not.

It’s the power of belief. When you train your brain to take things on faith despite of evidence, that’s what you get.

This is like early versions of LLMs hallucinating.

EDIT: I feel I need to apologize to LLMs for this comparison.

But whom Lector is going to eat then, if there are no illegal immigrants? Did you think of that Mr. Trump?

And they say dementia is not contagious…
