In reply to the discussion: Report: Israel urges West to back Egypt's military [View all]
where has the intl left just supported the people of gaza and somehow not supported the hamas govt?
i have yet to see one protest against the hamas govt...so where is your proof? one protest...one
so because there are no organized protests it equates to support, maybe for your purposes, but look around here I have not seen much support for Hamas by Leftists or actual Liberals
though we have seen photo ops with the left and hamas...thats a pretty good example of support, as well as taking the hamas storyline as factual despite evidence to the contrary....another example of support
the photo ops you've seen and one repeatedly posted one, of I believe Greta Berlin who by the way seems far more important to the Pro whatever it is your Pro about side, IMO it's not having 400,000 new neighbors or is the obvious photoshop of Lauren Booth, is a small segment of what again for your own purposes you want to represent as the entirety of what you claim is the Left
got any evidence of the opposite?
look around here you'll find, if your actually looking that is
now I asked you if you had proof that Mubarak treated Gays any better than Morsi and your answer
what i find fascinating is the way you look down upon them, ignore their beliefs and ignore what they say and believe.....the only reason that i can see is that you look down upon them and simply dont believe them....so why dont you?
On Gay rights No would have been much easier to type, but it wouldn't have suited your purposes
I understand that you dont like to accept what what the islamic theocratic regimes do...i understand you cant accept that the muslim brotherhood is a all about a theocratic govt as they have said....and basic history has shown that theorcratic govts are worse in terms of civil rights than secular ones.
and once again do you have any proof that thee military government of Egypt will really be any different, than Morsi's nand please lt's stop with pretense about civil rights and freedoms , your government spoke quite clearly about that at least where Egyptians are concerned
""Were trying to talk to key actors, key countries, and share our view that you may not like what you see, but whats the alternative? the official explained. If you insist on big principles, then you will miss the essential the essential being putting Egypt back on track at whatever cost. First, save what you can, and then deal with democracy and freedom and so on. "
same true with turkey.....women from turkey write articles about what they see happening and you disbelieve them..i guess because they turkish.....
are you speaking about the opinion piece you posted written by a woman who was born in Turkey but is living Canada with her European husband?
she like you seemed upset by women being a choice something that really confounds m if looked at logically but if looked at as a political talking point makes perfect if laughable sense but unfortunately doesn't score many points or was it the Turkey not allowing liquor sales in convenience stores after 10pm, again doesn't impress much

"How many were told?" So it's alright for the government to sterilize a few, but not too many?????
