It began with lots of military hero stories. After that, was very standard rhetoric that you will have seen before on twitter or even here. "People who say from the river to the sea can't name the river or the sea", "Gays for Palestine is like chickens for KFC". The weakest rhetoric was when Bibi said "practically no civilians" had been killed, then admitted that actually 24 people were killed accidentally by a bomb, then reiterated that "practically zero civilians had been killed".

I guess this is the stuff of political speeches, because this is the stuff that works best. Nobody is interested in hearing intelligent things, or not enough people are interested. Just ra ra rhetoric.

Now, tell me again how prosecution and sentencing has not been selective.

Out of 3200 arrested? Less than 10%. That’s better than I would have thought.

Or any of us would have thought.

Are you suggesting that the other 2800 are going to trial?

That would never happen under any conceivable scenario in any jurisdiction except police states that do mass show trials. Most cases are pled. Nowhere do we have resources to take every arrest to trial.
