@Foxfyre,

And there are as many soldiers who claim the accusations are unfounded. It's sort of like who do you believe? John Kerry and others who testified before Congress of gross military misconduct by his fellow soldiers in SE Asia, or the many who disputed Kerry's testimony even as they exposed the many provable errors in his testimony about his own activities?

Nobody serving with American forces anywhere will say that nobody oversteps his/her authority or acts inappriately or criminally. Nobody serving with the IDF claims that there are no Israeli soldiers who behave badly. The rogue exceptions have to be balanced against the very large majority who do follow the established rules, protocol, and ethics.


You believe the facts. You believe the bodies lying in the trenches, men, women and children riddled with bullet holes. You believe the soldiers who acknowledge those crimes.

What you don't do is not prosecute war crimes, what you don;t do is cover up, what you don;t do is pardon convicted war criminals [like nixon did with, ... what's that scumbucket's name?]

It makes you more than a hypocrite, it makes you an accessory.

@Cycloptichorn,
If your statement about shields is true, it is certainly the exception that proved the rule. Israel has always been more humane than any other country.

You are a lying bastard. You know very well that Hamas purposely operated among civilians. E. g., they used school yards in shooting mortars and missiles. Btw, Israelis will return fire, as would any other military.

@Advocate,
As I've often said, arm the two equally and we'll see how things pan out. For a glimpse into what that could be, we only have to look at history.

EARLY ZIONIST TERRORIST GANGS.

Soon after the end of World War II, there were three basic para-military Zionist organizations in Palestine, working against the Arab people, with the specific purpose of driving it out of Palestine. These were the Haganah, the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang.

Before the British Mandate, the Jewish settlers had formed a group of mounted armed watchmen called "Hashomar" and with the advent of the British Mandate, it became the Haganah (Defense). With a membership of 60,000 Zionist Jews, the Haganah had a field army of 16,000 trained men and a unit called the Palmach, which was a full-time force, numbering about 6000.

The Irgun Zvai Leumi included between 3000 and 5000 armed terrorists, and grew out of the Haganah and its Palmach branch in 1933. The Irgun was not ready to obey the Jewish Agency which sought to dilute the terror of the Haganah in order not to lose its respectability.

In 1939, one of Irgun's commanding officers, Abraham Stern, left the parent organization and formed the Stern Gang, numbering some 200 to 300 dangerous fanatics.

Advocate, So, in your mind, it's okay to bomb out a whole neighborhood (in the US or anyplace else considered a "democracy.") if the police knows where a criminal is hid out?

After all, all criminals hide out with other criminals in isolated places. We "all" know that, don't we?

@cicerone imposter,
Mass murderers among the Palestinians shoot rockets at Israeli citizens from the neighborhoods in which non mass murderers live. Israel retaliates against those mass murderers by shooting at them in the hope of stopping them from continuing to shoot at Israeli citizens. Because those non-mass murdering Palestinians living in the neighborhoods from which the mass murderers fire do nothing to stop the mass murderers from shooting at Israel, they too are killed along with the mass murdering Palestinians.

The real solution to this mess is for the non-mass murdering Palestinians to stop the mass murdering Palestinians from attempting to kill Israeli civlians. I doubt that will happen for a very long time!

ican, That's nothing compared to the firebombs we used in Vietnam and Iraq.

When GW Bush initiated his war in Iraq, he used firebombs that was already declared illegal by the world community in which we were signers.
We ended up killing hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children in Iraq. Since Bush didn't want civilian body counts, that's the estimate provided by human service organizations around the world.

You not only do not have any background in history, but are supportive of the very heinous crimes perpetrated against humanity by all.

People like you need to crawl back into the cave from which you emerged.

@cicerone imposter,
Show me the words I said that match your perception of them. I never said anything coming close to your so-called perception.

As usual, you fail to make clear whether you are talking about something in Israel proper or in the WB and Gaza. (E. g., you say that Israel is guilty of apartheid (which is nonsense). I guess this is your way of saying that the state of Israel doesn't exist.

Type "isarel's apartheid" in Google, and you'll get 714,000 hits. If it's nonsense, why are there so many articles written about it?

Definition for "aparthied" - S: (n) apartheid (a social policy or racial segregation involving political and economic and legal discrimination against people (Palestinians - my entry) who are not Whites (Jews - my entry); the former official policy in South Africa)

Advocate, Do you know what a "apartheid wall" is? How about "restrictions from freely moving from one place to another - in ones own country?"

I will not spend the time to look for your bigoted statements that can't be challenged against what I said about your posts on this thread. It's up to you to show me why they differ. I'll wait, but I know you can't prove it.

@cicerone imposter,
The Vietnam and Iraq wars have nothing to do with the conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Palestinian Jews. The UN recommended that Palestine be divided into an Arab state and a Jewish state. Some of the Palestinian Arabs have been at war with the Jewish state, Israel, ever since. The Israelis are going to defend themselves until they end that war or until they exterminate all the Arabs in Palestine. The Palestinian Arabs will ultimately decide which.

Democrats started and managed the Vietnam War, and are responsible for the deaths that occurred because of that war. Republicans ended that war after first trying again for the USA to win it.

Iraq civilian deaths caused by the USA are about 10 to 20 thousand. Iraq civilian deaths caused by al-Qaeda and other middle eastern mass murderers are about 80 to 90 thousand.

Study your history about Israel/Palestine. Although I know for sure you will not gain any facts or knowledge from it.

Even if you were correct, you aren't, the whole of the USA shares a measure of responsibility for that tragic illegal terrorist action, the war crimes heaped upon war crimes.

It isn't possible to "win" terrorist actions.

It seems more often than not that conservatives seem to isolate themselves from US actions that occurred during republican administrations, but are able to identify when democrats were in the white house. They still haven't accepted the reality that what our government does is done in all our names. We always have a tendency to "support our troops" no matter how atrocious the justification for war is/was - except for Vietnam.

Most all cultures understood this; that the civilian population always supported their military most often led by a civilian leadership. Our civilian leadership has screwed up many times to involve our men and women into wars that were unjustified for many reasons.

We are still engaged in wars that kills innocent men, women and children.

That blame enures to all of us.

It seems the cops here have already done that, with no criminal charges filed.
Or have you forgotten about Philadelphia and the neighborhood the bombed and burned down?

"Enure" (inure) means to make used to something. I do not see how you used it in your sentence above.

History has always had warlike societies. Peace can then be "unjustified" for those societies.

Your point above about "innocent, men women and children" being killed in wars "we are still engaged in" means what? Innocents get killed in all wars? What is your point? Only peace will not kill innocents. Peace is not always the political reality for all societies/nations.
