Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Is there not blame to go around on bith sides? in thatvregard, are tgere similaritiesvwith tge Georgia-=Russia conflict? Just wondering.

-Georgia started the conflict with Russia with an attack that was in violation of international law.

- Russia was responsible for a long history of provocation in the region and reacted disproportionately.

-Much of the Russian military action went far beyond the reasonable limits of defence,"

- Georgia's attack on the night of 7 August was an offensive, not a defensive, response to an invasion. It comes to the unequivocal conclusion that the assault breached international law.
