and stuck them on a video on the interwebs.
Asking questions like "how many schools do we have to blow up?" is obviously loaded.
As a supporter of Israel I'd just like to say every group has its nutbags, and all those showcased in the video are nutbags - I get quite worried when these people open their mouths, they're just as nutty as the people who were holding the signs saying "We're all hezbollah now" a few years ago.
Then again, go to a pro-Hamas rally and start asking those questions and they'll break the front window of your Starbucks, or something...

After years of persecution, quite aside from the holocaust, with the troubles in Poland and with the Cossacks going into ghettos and carrying out beatings and murders it is easy to see why Israel is behaving as it is, after all, it needs to protect the world from the repetition of such cruel acts.

or any Jew, for that matter, using that argument in genuine debate.
It seems to be more of a myth put about by those who dislike Israel who either believe that that's the reason Israel behaves the way it does or in an attempt to discredit past atrocities.
Israel was established despite the holocaust, not because of it. The reason Israel behaves the way it does is because having a power-hungry organisation throwing rockets at your civilians with the obvious intent to cause psychological and physical harm is sure as hell casus belli.
If you want to moan at anyone about the plight of the Palestinians look at Hamas, which built no shelters for them with their steady flow of money, but instead bought weapons and personal wealth, look at the Arab states which have only ever used them as a distraction and method of furthering their own goals.
Arabs under Egyptian rule are often far worse off than Arabs under Israeli rule - you have the right level of cynicism, you're just pointing it in the wrong direction.
The problem is that maybe only 20% of Palestinian Arabs support terrorist acts, but 100% of terrorist outrages that take place in Israel are performed by Arabs. So when a bomb goes off the Israelis see "The arabs are at it again" and go off on another little quest, as a result the 80% of Palestinians feel they're being unjustly targeted and so turn to justify the other 20%. Hamas knows and knew full well that the rocket fire on Israel will only serve to make Gazan lives worse, they'd have to be right idiots not to know that, and whatever they are they're definitely not idiots. They're using the Israeli reaction to their advantage. But were Israel not to react, what then? More rockets and an oppressive regime, much along the same ideological lines as Saudi Arabia, in power.
If Hamas gets control of a future Palestinian state then you'll just have another Saudi Arabia, but with no oil, so nothing going for it!

Going off on another quest is, essentially, pure evil.

I wasn't lazy the moment I left school and I managed to find a job the day after my last exam paying above the minimum wage for as long as I did my work and actually produced something.
This job was given to me by the GOVERNMENT!
The money they gave to me could've been given to these poor sods who obviously didn't have the luck to get off their arses and look for a job that required next to no skills!

I'd hate to be one of those poor, victimised souls who have to bring themselves to turn down jobs that don't look comfortable or have the hours they'd like to have.
It must be horrible to be in a position where you feel you have to turn down a job because minimum wage or a 10 hour day is either not enough or too much respectably.
(okay, yes, yes, I know I said I was paid above minimum wage, but I also worked over 10 hours a day 6 days a week to ensure I gots my moneys and kept my job; people who decide not to take a job because they don't like the wage or hours should be given minimum wage jobs on 8 hour days for 5 days a week enforced by law - yes, it will lead to more tax, but it may just promote the right behaviour which will bring in tax revenue in the long run, and if they don't turn up stuck in a jail - those who do work should then be rewarded above the work they do, with holidays or a nice TV or some such, rewards to ensure they keep on going with their minimum wage job or their training which they can then use to pay for such luxuries themselves. They shouldn't sit around complaining that that £10/hour job which only asks for 30 hours a week didn't get back to them, because there are a thousand other lazy bastards out there who are also edging for that job, and only one of them is going to get it. Hey, who wants to throw rotting vegetables at the degenerates?!)

she does measure 'foreign' by that method. You see, a brown person born outside Britain is more foreign than say a Polish worker born outside Britain.
There are, however, exceptions.
If the dark skinned fellow is born inside Britain then he's obviously not foreign, and if they're from the West Indies then they're also very low on the foreign scale.
The end result is that a man born in Prague is less foreign than a man born in Kandahar, but more foreign than a man born in Jamaica.

Their hive-like minds won't allow them to comprehend any behavior that deviates from what they've been indoctrinated to view as 'normal' or 'rational', and so, as is common to all clones, they respond with revulsion at things their brainwashed subconscious labels as a threat to the herd. I can see it in the glaze of their hypnotized eyes when they hear me clicking my tongue barbell against my teeth during the college marketing class I'm taking, or when I take their orders at the Outback Steakhouse where I work.

The judge sounds like a twat, admittedly.
On the other hand, from what I've heard of the story, the identification wouldn't normally sufficient for a conviction - there was no other evidence, IIRC. That being the case, the identification shouldn't have been admissible.
I suspect that the judge just put things very badly. Very badly indeed.

If 'being believable' was something that could disclude you from giving evidence then the whole trial system becomes useless; you can't have a trial without evidence, and you can't have evidence without reputable witnesses.
