joao,
You got that right. That gravatar was so cool in combination with his nickname.
One could make some kind of weird horror movie of it. “Attack of the Schmerlies”
diego, LOL
Every dominant discourse on foreign relations will be hypocritical at some point. Indonesia’s, America’s, Britain’s, France’s, China’s, Thailand’s, Venezuela’s, Russia’s, etc. All will, at some point, condemn action X in place A, but not in place B.
Doesn’t mate it right in any case, but I fail to see ANY country in which such hypocrisies do not exist.
Now Palestinians, of course, are different. They now seem to rival the Jews as ‘victims extraordinaire.’
Sure they have suffered a lot, as indeed have Jews, but nobody should give either group special status in relation to the millions of other refugees etc who deserve sympathy. Charity begins at home, Indonesia.
You said it, brother!
People are people and victims are victims. If you are murdered, you aren’t any more or less dead based on the identity or motivations of the perpetrators…
