Even the outgoing UN Rights Chief is critical of the UN response to preventing conflict in area's known to be at risk. Reuters - UN rights chief rebukes Security Council for failures to act As I said at the beginning of this discussion, the UN's role in pulling out of the Egypt Israel border area in 1967, is one of reasons this problem exists in the first place. |

Violent death especially those of women & children is but a dark stain on mankind. Tit for tat - will it ever end? |

Tit for tat - will it ever end? Far worse than that are these arbitrary killings in Gaza: Hamas sources in Gaza said 18 people accused of collaborating with Israel had been executed. ... Hamas officials told Reuters news agency that the first 11 executions were carried out at an abandoned police station. Witnesses said another seven people were shot dead by men in Hamas uniforms outside the al-Umari mosque in central Gaza. After the first 11 executions, Hamas warned that "the same punishment will be imposed soon on others". What next? Another 80 missiles plus additional mortars to be lobbed over into Israel each day henceforth? Where/how has Gaza got such an incredible arsenal of such big weapons?!... Don't forget that Gaza is mainly just one city! All a very small area...

Also shows their "legal" system at work... ..."we think you're a collaborator - bang, you're dead". |

For those under 40, the reasons why, for those over, a reminder... Lunch in Tel Aviv - The start of the 2nd Hundred Year war ...only another 53 to go! "I'm a chess player. I also play politics. I did not have to go to war." Gamal Abdul Nassar The epilogue showing all 4 sides & their comments are interesting. |

Gaza version of the ice bucket challenge - The Gaza Rubble Challenge "There would be lime and other toxic substances in that rubble dust that could cause cancer and other respiratory ailments and illnesses in people. Please don't encourage children to do this and don't feel the need to copy the stupid fads we get sucked into over here. I worry about the children as they have enough to deal with already." That comment makes a valid point. |

http://news.yahoo.com/israel-says-found-hamas-training-manual-gaza-115338033.html JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli army has released what it says is a page from a seized Hamas training manual that would appear to support its case that Palestinian militants deliberately use the cover of residential areas for combat operations. Who to believe? |

Until the next time.......... However... Despite the good news of the 'breathing space' for everyone for better talking rather than bombing, note the due caution with: Hamas ... claims to have won respect among Palestinians for putting up strong resistance against Israel's military onslaught. Israeli leaders are expected to claim to have severely weakened Hamas over the past seven weeks, and restored "quiet" to areas within rocket range... ... And Hamas is estimated to still have available about a third of the amazing stockpile of rockets and mortars from before the 'conflict'... Peace until Hamas feels insignificant again?... Here's hoping for lasting change for the better, but I suspect there also needs to be a change of Hamas and their supposed Jihads and somehow a stop forced for war-by-proxy of surrounding 'political' 'interests'... A change of Putin and Assad may well be needed also...

Be very careful what is wished for.... A regime change was implemented in Iraq. "Stanley, that's another fine mess you got me into". Edit: I know the following link is best suited to another on going thread, but it has worrying issues that may re-ignite the Israel/Palestine conflict... IS committed war crimes ..."In a separate development, Syrian rebel groups including the al-Qaeda affiliated Nusra Front have taken control of a crossing between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to a UK-based monitoring group." |

Tell that to the Jihadists! Just another potential 124 beheadings, who cares! |

The only way to stop this ridiculous violence in the middle east is to make a huge GLASS parking lot of the whole area and be done with it. Really. Genocide. Does that make a fair comparison to a hated 20th century historical regime? |
Sirius B Send message Joined: 26 Dec 00 Posts: 24879 Credit: 3,081,182 RAC: 7 |
But that only transfers their hatred to the countries they have been sent to, & seek revenge for turning their homeland into a glass parking lot... ...So what then? |
