But, sorry to be cliche, force is the only language the terrorists understand. They aren't going to stop being anti-Semitic if Israel starts being nice. The only solution is to somehow find a moderate Palestinian faction and start negotiating with them.

They had their direct and clear orders from the Israeli Defence Ministry not to interfere and give free hands and assistance to the Lebanese Christian Militia.



With the outbreak of news of massacre in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila, Israeli public was outraged and went on demonstration, and demanded the resignation of Ariel Sharon and an inquiry to the matter. Israeli Knesset took action and sat up a parliamentary committee to investigate Ariel Sharon’s involvement in this inhumane act of atrocity. As result of that inquiry, Ariel Sharon was found responsible for the actions of Lebanese Christian Militia, and consequently forced him to resign from his post as Defence Minister. But of course, as he is an Israeli and these crimes were not committed against Israeli nationals, he was never charged and never appeared in any court of justice in Israel.

Regarding the use of the word genocide Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Francis A Boyle, professor in International Law and Legal Adviser to the Palestinian Delegation to the Middle East peace Negotiations from 1991 to 1993. writes this on Media Monitors:

quote:
The precursor to genocide

In fairness, you will note that the U.N. Human Rights Commission did not go so far as to condemn Israel for committing genocide against the Palestinian People. But it has condemned Israel for committing crimes against humanity, which is the direct precursor to genocide. And I submit that if something is not done quite soon by the American People and the International Community to stop Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinian People, it could very well degenerate into genocide, if Israel is not there already. And in this regard, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is what international lawyers call a genocidaire--one who has already committed genocide in the past.

Read the UN definition of genocide. Basically, it is trying to destroy a national culture. You could, theoretically, commit genocide without killing a single person.

Oh, and btw, Milosevic did treat Albanians not half as badly as Israel is treating Palestinians. And the US did kill more civilians in Afghanistan than Milosevic in his lifetime -if he did kill any, which is, in fact, doubtful. Most of the Milosevic stories were made up by US propaganda. You have yet to find those alleged mass graves.

Guys if Israel was committing Genocide, you wouldnt see this.

You all are a bunch of whiney bleedin hearts They arent committing Genocide, they are merely RESPONDING to palestinian attacks.


If arafat cared he would take the European Tax money the EU gives him every year and start doing something with it, (besides arms shipments and Kassam/Hamas funding). And then he complains to israel for the poverty of his people... Its not Israel's responsibility to give palestinians jobs and build there houses. Its his....

That´s anarchist propaganda, if the anarchists had gotten their way in Russia the whites would won the civil war and the worlds first workers state would have died in its infancy. The bolsheviks made a lot of mistakes but the anarchists wasn´t a viable alternative in Russia 1917.

Maybe, maybe not. It's speculation either way. But if the anarchists had gotten their way, Stalin certainly wouldn't have gained control of Russia.

And if the Bolsheviks did regain authority in the Ukraine earlier, they probably would've lost the war. Whether or not you like them, the Machknoists were integral to beating the Whites.

Hmm...

Opening non-selective fire on everyone around , consisting majorly of civilians is not freedom fighting.

The fact that the second terrorist went for a school that was near by, and was luckaly killed before he enetered it, does not suggest "freedom fighting".

But that's just what real communism is. A fantasy allowing thugs and thieves to get power over trusting minions.

The fact is, that's how "communist" regimes all around the world work.

The problem with communism, is that it is against human nature, which is to exploit. You create leaders who are supposed to be benevolent, but aren't really. You create a system which is supposed to be democratic, but isn't really.

That's why, meanwhile democracy is better. And capitalism is better since it's open and sincere about it's goal - to win. Communism, while very noble, is against the natural human tendency to take advantage of others.

Your nice site, doesn't tell you how in the 50s and 60s arab terrorists infiltrated Israel, and massacared villages and kibutzes, raiding children's houses at nights (during the 50s and 60s, children in a kibutz lived in thier own 'dorm' apart from parents).

Amnesty are great in monitoring Israeli measures to try and fight terror, such as closures and targeted eliminations, but they don't and can't monitor Palestinian terrorists. They say it's not their field.

I say, if Israeli sometimes killing civilians on mistake, is in thier field, then Palestinians targeting to kill as much civilians as possible, should be in their field.

We've already set defintions for terrorists as opposed to freedom fighters / partisans.

Just because you're willing to call any person who intentionally targets Israeli civilians, esp. children, a fighter for "freedom" doesn't change his terrorist status.

I already told people here. I don't have a problem with armies or wars. The Hezbulla Guerilla war was acceptable. Their targeting civilian residents and kidnapping and executing soldiers and thier killing of civilians was not.

Probably so, though if it proved very risky possibly not.

I know that when we caught live terrorists last week we certainly did remove them from their suit before detonating it.

1) Israel does supply water to the palestinians.

2) Israeli trade barriers are a means of pressuring Arafat, since he gains from the taxes and puts money into more terror. Israel tries to find solutions for palestinians to suffer less. I know for instance that Israel made several exceptions including allowing a palestinian group to export flowers to the international flowers market.

3) Movement restrictions, while nasty, are the heart of Israeli security measures. While they do serve an effect of suppressing people, their first and foremost effect is making it extremely difficult to infiltrate Israel, let alone unchecked.

Let me remind you, that there are movement restrictions where there are terrorists.

When it is known terrorists have infiltrated Israel and target specific towns, closures are put on them.

Haifa had it's closures, and more recently Jerusalem, Hadera and today Beer Sheva had severe movement restrictions.

As result of that inquiry, Ariel Sharon was found responsible for the actions of Lebanese Christian Militia, and consequently forced him to resign from his post as Defence Minister. But of course, as he is an Israeli and these crimes were not committed against Israeli nationals, he was never charged and never appeared in any court of justice in Israel.

Actually, he was found INDIRECTLY responsible, meaning that it was his job to make sure that this wouldn't happen and he didn't make sure enough. But this commission also ruled that he had not known the massacre would happen.

There is very few un-biased sources (Amnesty is a possible exception), just more or less biased.

I guess I'll just start reffering you to the Israeli foriegn ministry webpage.

It only counts "new" lines. ie, when you hit enter to start a new line it that counts a line for every time, but if you keep runing on the same paragraph it won't keep adding them up the "lines".

It's not really longer.

It's just 3 lines.
One very long line.
(empty line)
One very long line.

I know, it's annoying.

Now there's a leader I find more frightening than Bush.

Let me suggest you to read an impartial historical review of the following men:

terrorist Yassir Arafat
tyrant Saddam Hussein
tyrant Nasser
tyrant Mubarak
tyrant Hafez el-Assad

and thier friends in Iran, Saudi Arabia and so on.
