My ignorance is non existent. My dog, lying at the side of me seems to know more about this than you.

Keith's post above requires the moderators to intervene because if people read it, they are reading awful lies, put about to defend Israeli terrorism.

Now to the facts, available only to special people. In order to get access, you need a computer and something called google. Keith is working on the principle that nobody can find out..

However, and I don't do this often, I shall now quote from the Wikipedia entry for Israeli aggression;

"The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a number of resolutions saying that the strategic relationship with the United States encourages Israel to pursue aggressive and expansionist policies and practices.[3] The 9th Emergency Session of the General Assembly was convened at the request of the Security Council when the United States blocked efforts to adopt sanctions against Israel.[4] The United States responded to the frequent criticism from UN organs by adopting the Negroponte doctrine."

Back to me now.

There are still 45 UN resolutions from the UN Human Rights Council outstanding against Israel since the council formed in 2006. To put that in context, that is almost half the resolutions they have made full stop against anywhere. Add the dozens of other UN from 1948 onwards and Israel is seen as a pariah state, only able to be an aggressor due to sympathisers funding US politics.

There is no official recognition by UN for Israel's aggression. Their excuse concerning Hamas missiles is that Hamas started it. Hamas only exist because Israel is an aggressor to its neighbours. Without Hamas missiles, Netanyahu might not win the next election. (Just in case anyone wonders what this is all about.)



Now we have the facts, back to discussing the terrorist actions from both sides in this dispute and stop all this disgraceful claptrap about Israel being legitimate when they target hospitals, schools, shelters and children playing on beaches.

I don't know where you get your information about military matters Keith, but I suggest you widen your search, or ask some soldiers. They might know a bit. Or at least, a damn site more than you.
