How many reports need to be issued for Israel to stop denying its behavior? Amnesty International, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and now the full UN report all concur. Israel committed war crimes and is persecuting the Palestinian people. Now, will something be done about it? I doubt it. Israel is too slick, and their lobbyists have bundles of money to buy complicity and silence.

Im pretty sure that "rogue soldiers" didn't order White Phosphorous attacks over a city populated by civilians.

It seems to me that more then a "rogue soldier" would be needed for this strike to happen? Don't you think? Wait, i got it

Ok so the soldier, duped the artillery battallion into going for lunch and he went to the armory and got the white phosphorous shells, brought them to the still empty artillery placement, and fired them himself at gaza!

What a bastard he is!

@WonderBread006 Well other than the fact it's an incendiary chemical weapon and using it over civilian areas is in violation of Geneva Convention "Treatment of Civilians During Wartime"

Not to mention launching an unprovoked war (a war in which you were never attacked) is also illegal

And, the use of Chemical Weapons PERIOD was made illegal by the 1925 Convention. Why do you think we were so "irked" when Saddam used them against the Kurds (but not so mad when used on the Iranians)

Its illegal

Your ilk love to spew taqiyya. You figure if you yell loud and long enough, your lies become truth. But we do not swallow it. Can you provide examples of Israeli aggression? Specifics. Be prepared if you do, because I can provide evidence to counter.

I don't take exception with individuals having different opinions or even agendas, BUT don't fucking outright lie.

PS I'm a Canadian Zionist :)

Must be embarrassing for Goldstone now that he had to recant his accusation about Israel. He opened his mouth wide and stepped right in ... LOL.

All those who dare to criticize Israel are called anti-semite or anti- israel, they are even put on a list called the " SHIT list ". And SHIT stands for Self Hating Israeli Traitor.It does not matter if you are jew,israeli,zionist or not.

@beautifulady2003 No. The world's silence is to avoid antagonizing the Arabs and the Muslims. But it doesnt meant the world ignores the Arabs one-sided condemnation of Israel even Israel is terrorize incessantly by them. True, Israel is still powerful not because of its lobby but thru REASON and DEVELOPMENT. Lobby and power are the result of Israel strong economy, enlightened and technologically savvy people... while the Muslims still dwell in hatred and violence.

@UBER069 I respect your opinion. But what is the form of government you can propose where we can enjoy both?

[philipdcrusader]

@UBER069 In our Christian doctrine, we offer our left cheek when we are slapped in the right cheek. It is also ordained by our faith to love our enemy. When our enemy threw us with stone we return it with bread. But in Israel, the Palestinians threw stones incessantly and the Jews return them with breads. Like Christians, the Jews are kind. After many years, the throwing of stones didnt stop and the Jews still return them with bread....sandwiched with grenades. The Jews are just fed up.

@philipdcrusader - I don't know where you get this "your Islamic theocracy" from, I am white and a true Christian, unlike 99% of theso-called "Christians" out there, yourself included likely. If i were not on youtube I would be denouncing fools that have purposefully blinded themselves to the truth like you somewhere else. And for the record, I do not "enjoy" democracy, I am enslaved by it, just as you are, but you are blind to that too.
