LoL. Ya, one of those certainly isn't known for forcibly converting people at the threat of death or for force converting part of an entire continent and not a single one of those raped choir boys was born into that environment.
This is the best comment I've seen online today and I'm not complementing you.
LoL, was going to comment this is the first time I've seen this happen on Lemmy and it's refreshing af. Nice to see this person learned something today, hopefully they share this knowledge with others.
No one expects perfection from a politician, I'm just not going to back someone who so obviously lies and obfuscates. It's like voting for Doug Ford. Doesn't help anyone.
I'm taking it more as a stain on her due to how she's handled it rather than the issue itself. If she can't be honest about something so evidently obvious, how do you trust her to be honest about the issues that face the country?
I don't think she came across as honest and forthright with how she handled the COVID situation also. She made Trudeau look good and at this point that's really hard to do.
I'm not excusing anything, seems like they fired a few people involved, hopefully they charge them with the crimes they commited too. I didn't see that follow up with the us situation though so why is one country accountable but not another is what I'm getting at? The US has had additional civilian and involved drone issues since then, as well as very well documented ones under Obama so it's clear nothing is changing on the home front wrt to how the policy's are enacted.
Everyone who fucks up like this should end up in jail. It's inexcusable..... except when Americans do it it seems. The same people/politicians calling for Israel to stop are the same ones who support and funded the actions over the past twenty years that led to far greater civilian death in the region so claiming otherwise is pretty insane.
She retired from being leader, is she not still the representative? Her wikipedia page seems to indicate she's active, the article indicates the same. Are you sure she's retired LoL? Like from being a politician....not just from being leader.
Having a sordid family history certainly isn't disqualifying. Not being honest and transparent about it raises more Red flags than I'm willing to accept from someone angling to run a country.
Only an indictment against you if you lie about it and cover for your family's past. Everyone's got a history of course, it's about how you acknowledge that and live your life. Her behaviour on this is shameful, therein lies the problem.
One was a farmer, the other an electrician. The ladies were home makers . All served for the allied forces in the war. Certainly not Saints, certainly not Nazis or sympathizers.
Ya, Lemmy is speed running the worst things about Reddit but struggling to build the niche communities that would make people want to hang around.
