But for the record. This is two very important parts of the GC 1949 that are ignored by those all upset by Israelis actions:

* “Those in control of territory must endeavor to remove the civilian
population, individual civilians and civilian objects under their control from
the vicinity of military objects; Avoid locating military objectives within or
near densely populated areas; Take the other necessary precautions to protect
civilian population, individual civilians and civilian objects under their
control against the dangers resulting from military operations.” (Article 58
of the Protocal Relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed
Conflicts, Geneva Convention on Warfare 1949)

* The Fourth Geneva Convention convicts Hezbollah in one
sentence. That sentence makes up the entirety of Part 3, Article 1, Section
28. It reads: “The presence of a protected person may not be used to render
certain points or areas immune from military operations.”

Hezbollah has been blocking civilians from leaving their villages and drive up the civilian body count to make Israel look bad. You have quoted international law that condems Hezbollah but those who condem Israel can’t seem to quote the law that Israel is breaking. :rolleyes:

I think quoting democracy and recognising another states right to exist, are two entirely different issues, but we get used to the truth being twisted here.

Therefore the current chest puffing, the bombing and shelling of the Palestinian people is simply for political gain, and that under international law IS TERRORISM. state run terrorism, and backed and fully supported by the US.

As we know when faced with terryists, you have the right to defend yourself, and maybe by talking a hostage or two, the militant factions of Hamas thought they could halt the daily shelling of Palestinian families on a beach picnic

Talk about truth twisting, since when was Israel bombing Palestinians everyday before Hamas and Hezbollah grabbed those Israeli soldiers, and can you quote me the exact law that states what Israel is doing is terrorism under international law :rolleyes: . Someone is drinking the Kool Aid.

Afafat was offered Jerusalem and walked away back when Clinton was in office selling out Israel to get his Nobel Peace Prize. That shows me how much the Arabs want peace with Israel.

Hey Gollevainen, what flamebait are you talking about? I asked you some questions and stated some facts and you accuse me of flaming.

Since in your mind genocide doesn’t have a body count then Finland is guilty of genocide for sending those three Jewish people to the death camps. However I’m sure those people and their families feel better because it was an accident. Some would debate what is worse committing genocide or watch it happen and doing nothing to stop it. The UN has let genocide happen on its watch all over the world and done nothing, but that’s ok with you because the UN didn’t pull the trigger, right?

The truth hurts, Europe has a history of mistreating the Jewish people. That’s probably why the Jewish people didn’t want their new state in Europe.

When one considers the fundamentalist and extreme chrsitian views and mind sets that are running the US administration and funding most of the Republican party,

How many more jumps in evolution will it take for humans to realise their fate in the future does not come from a book written way back in the past.

What extreme Chrisitian views do you have a problem with? What book are you refering to the Bible or Koran? You condem Christian views in your very first sentence are you also condeming extreme Muslim views? How about those extreme Muslims that have hijacked Islam and keep their people locked in the past? How do you expect to reason with them? Since you don’t seem to be a fan of religion would you convert to Islam if that would make them happy and leave you and your nation alone. Will you have a problem treating women like properity, drink no booze at all and do away with any porn? Are you ready to do that so you can have peace?

I knew that the swastika pre-dates the Nazi Party. I stand corrected about Finland’s use of it. However thanks to what the Nazi’s did the swastika is now persona non grada.

– In 1962 and 1963, several German scientists working on missile project in Egypt were targets of assassination attempts by Mossad.
– In March 1990 Gerald Bull, a Canadian scientist who worked on a weapons project for Iraq was killed by the Mossad at his Brussels apartment
– In 1974 Mossad agents mistakenly killed an Algerian waiter, Ahmad Boushiki in Lillehammer, Norway.
– In 1982, the Mossad assassinated Egyptian nuclear scientist Yahya al-Mashad in Paris

Where’s your proof? Did Mossad leave their “death card” on the bodies. If the 1974 attack came from the aftermath of the Munich Oylimpics I’ll give you that but the others? When was Gerald Bull’s death solved. Last I heard the case was never solved? Saddam may have had him killed so no one else would get the supergun he was working on.

So are all americans obligated to believe blindly to what Israel tryes to hastly covers of their genoside of Lebanese as some sort of collective national duty?? Gee thank god Im not american…

When the death toll reaches the millions then you can call it genocide. Like the millions that have died in Africa from famine and warfare and the UN just watches or the millions that died under Pol Pot or the millions that died in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany (Jew, Gypises, Slavs, Homosexuals other that didn’t fit in with the master race.) You remember Nazi Germany, Finland was their ally and used the Swastka on their tanks and planes.
