In reply to the discussion: Russell Tribunal conclusion: U.S. facilitates Israeli immunity and impunity [View all]azurnoir
(45,850 posts)35. um demolishing the credibility of jurors?
I suspect that the only people for whom credibility is being demolished are the ones who felt these people had no credibility in the first place
Ronnie Kasrils -dismissed as self hating
John Dugard- antisemitic works for the UN
Roger Waters- probably antisemitic and/or 'Hollyweird' latte librul-even though he's British
not that I agree with these summations but there you have it unless your going for the crowd that knows nothing about these people or the conflict itself
now that said there was a problem with Russell Tribunal as was outlined in +972 and it was the lack of Palestinians as either speakers or jurors
