Re: Joe the Journalmalist on the Gaza War (none / 1)

Peloponnese, ca. 5th-2nd century B.C.

Palestine, 1st century A.D.

Our erudite friend Joe is merely pointing out that the Crypteia must be conducted with stealth and secrecy, lest the Helots be able to gain some protection, or mercy.

B'Tselem Earns Dutch Honour (4.00 / 3)

.
Earned the prestigious Dutch Geuzen Penning 2009, named after renowned Dutch freedom fighters in the 80 years of Spanish occupation during the Middle Ages.

Geuzen Penning 2009 for Al-Haq en B'Tselem

Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq and the Israeli B'Tselem Information Centre for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories have jointly won this year's Geuzenpenning award. A Dutch foundation commemorating the resistance movement of the Second World War has been giving this award since 1987 to acknowledge outstanding work for democracy and against dictatorship, racism and discrimination.

Al-Haq is an independent Palestinian group which attempts to document the stories of victims and eyewitnesses of human rights abuses. The Ramallah-based organisation was founded in 1979 by a group of Palestinian lawyers.

I take this opportunity to correct a typo: should be 21 century, obviously.

Good luck with your comprehension process.

Re: Joe the Journalmalist on the Gaza War (none / 0)

It was a joke, and signaled as such by the ellipsis (a convention that has always struck me as stupid but sometimes necessary, and now appears insufficient).

No call to get nasty and insulting.

Re: Joe the Journalmalist on the Gaza War (none / 0)

I don't see what your problem is.

Your response to what I've written is comparable to somebody's responding to your original post here by saying, "You consider him erudite? Your friend? OUR friend? He's not my friend, even if he's yours!"

It's unclear whether you're trying to pick a fight or just trying to convince yourself you're not to blame for having missed irony that was as obvious and as clumsy as your own. Either way, I don't see the point.
