ifor,

You are ignoring that the Moslim Palestinians GOT their 75% of Mandate Palestine as a homeland in 1923, and NO Jews were allowed to settle there. Now, Israel is willing to give up the West Band (Part of the Mandate Jewish Homeland) for peace, and there are no takers: The offer of peace is met with rocket bombardment of the civilians in Israel. Israel has a population of how many Moslims? And how many Jews were driven out of Moslim countries? And how many Jews did the Moslim countries allow to remain?

If you protest for rights of the 640,000 Moslims who fled from what is now Israel ( that moslim nations refused to settle, even when they had the possession of the West Bank), what do you say about the 820,000 Jews driven from Arab nations ( that Israel resettled)? Or do Jews not have any rights in your worldview?

As I said after the UN failed to enforce the ceasefire terms on anyone but Israel re Lebenon 2007, the international community has thrown away any chance to solve this problem: Israel would be foolish to trust ANY promises that the UN would do anything.


Thus, the actions ( lack of, actually) of the UN and others after September of 2007 have led directly to there being nothing that they can do.

As for fault,

Who unilaterally terminated the cease fire?

Who (continued to) target the civilian population with area mass bombardment weapons, illegal under tha Geneva conventions?

Who now protests the targeting of their military and givernmental superstructure, the legitimate targets in a war?

Still waiting on the UN to enforce the Lebenon ceasefire terms on Hezboallh... Israel compled quite a while ago- WHERE ARE THE KIDNAPPED ISRAELIS????

And you want Israel to let Hamas continue to attack the civilian population????? Or shall I assume as McGrath insists, that you are actually protesting the Hamas actions as well, deep inside where no-one can hear you?
