It would be a hung jury.
Forever.

So what's that look like in the long-term? Looks like murderers (e.g. Hamas) get away with kidnapping, rape and murder, forever and ever. Because we jurors can't come to an agreement.

This is why it's beyond reasonable doubt, and not beyond all doubt whatsoever.

Ever heard of the doctrine of clean hands?

If a murderer is guilty of murder they can't prosecute another murderer. The hypocrisy of it is so bad it's even a legal concept. It's the pot calling the kettle black.
From today's Wikipedia:

"
Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Confirmation bias is insuperable for most people, but they can manage it, for example, by education and training in critical thinking skills.

Biased search for information, biased interpretation of this information, and biased memory recall, have been invoked to explain four specific effects:

1. attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence)
2. belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false)
3. the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series)
4. illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations). ... .

So? Is it true that there is a legal doctrine of clean hands?What does that have to do with confirmation bias?

Explain how it applies with Israel " doing "whatever it takes to prevent another 1200 innocent civilian people from getting butchered by Hamas."" "

They are killing in excess of 363 civilians a day with their bombing campaign, That's in excess of 132.000 civilians a year. Why that period of rime? Israel figures it will take them a year to defeat Hamas. I don't think Hamas has killed anywhere near that number of Israelis in their entire existence. Plus Israel created Hamas to fight Yassar Arafat and the PLO decades ago.

Here isa video of young Israeli kids who joined the Israeli army.

Here is a video of former President Obama where he sounds like Gary K (to nobody's surprise).


"Nobody's hands are clean" (about 2:00 in) ---- false. Hamas (Israel's neighbors) murdered 1200 innocent mostly Israelis (there were some American victims but we don't even talk about that). Israel rightly is trying to prevent that from ever happening again. Their hands are clean here, and everybody (even Obama) knows that the conflict would end, and all the Palestinians would be safe, if Hamas either turns themselves in, or if Palestinians bring Hamas to justice. It'd be over that day.

I don't think people who can't see this correctly are liars. But your vision's distorted. This isn't how the World works, it's not how human nature works, humans especially in society and culture, are only going to improve if they're evil, if they're occupied and forced to change. That's the only way you change hearts and minds on the ground. It's painstaking and long. You've got to commit like 50 years to it, longer than a full generation, if you want to exterminate something like anti-Semitism from a culture. That's how long it took us to clean up Germany.

We gave it a shot after the Civil War to eradicate white supremacy from the South, but we only gave it 12 years ---- not long enough. Those are our two pretty good data points. 12 years is not long enough and something like 50 years seems to work. It's a gigantic project.

Obama, Democrats and apparently Gary don't understand this.

Yeah, you know from my previous posting history that I'm a big fan of Obama. Just in case you didn't know, I'm the poster previously known as ffreeloader.
