From the NY Times:

"The Israeli military said that its troops were in the Qalandia camp to back up security forces seeking to arrest a resident described by the military as a "terror operative." Hundreds of residents threw rocks, firebombs, iron bars and other items at the security forces, including from rooftops, and soldiers were called in to aid them.

The military later said an investigation indicated that camp residents had also fired at the soldiers and that the forces felt their lives were in danger, a standard that then allows the use of lethal force."

It's never a good idea to attack soldiers who are doing their job. Maybe the Palestinians will eventually figure that out.

Palestinian Peace talks have been suspended following the killing of three Palestinians who had entered a refugee camp in search of a suspect.
If you could bear with us for a minute, our spokesman on Israeli atrocities will be along to explain why such security raids are essential during delicate peace negotiations - excuse the fact that he won't mention the Peace Conference as he, along with his friends, appear not to believe it is taking place.
Jim Carroll

Ramallah: The Palestinians have officially suspended the direct peace talks with Israel to protest against killing of three Palestinians Monday, Xinhua reported.
The Palestinians were killed during clashes with Israeli soldiers who stormed the Qalandya refugee camp in Ramallah.
Hours after the incident, Yasser Abed Rabbo, an official of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), announced that the Palestinian side decided to call off the fourth round of direct peace negotiations scheduled to be held Monday in the West Bank town of Jericho.
"We decided not to go to the scheduled round of talks today (Monday) in protest of killing three Palestinian young men in Qalandya," Abed Rabbo said.
"The ongoing Israeli escalation of violence against our people can't be justified and it only aims at toppling the efforts to resume the peace negotiations," he added.
The killing of a Palestinian young man in Jenin last week and the killing of three young men near Ramallah Monday outraged many Palestinians, mainly those who are against resumption of the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
A Palestinian source said that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed a strong letter of protest to the US administration against the Israeli violations in the West Bank.
"President Abbas urged the United States to immediately intervene to avoid more violent consequences among the populations in the West Bank," said the source who did not wish to be identified.
The bodies of the three Palestinian young men who were shot dead by the Israeli soldiers were buried in a cemetery near Ramallah.
Outraged mourners raised slogans of revenge and demanded that the peace talks with Israel be not resumed.
Witnesses said that residents of the Qalandya refugee camp pelted stones and empty glass bottles at the Israeli forces and the Israeli troops responded with live ammunition.
Ahmed Al-Bitawy, director of Palestine Medical Centre in Ramallah, said that Robin Fares, 30, was killed with a gunshot in the chest and the other two teenagers died of head injuries. He added that four more wounded people were in critical condition.

The fact that you and your braindead buddies refuse to address the fact that Israel has announced the accelleration of settlements and has invaded an sovereign territory during peace negotions which might put an end to the violence and could save many hundreds of human lives shows that as they don't give a toss for peace and you support that
Stop hiding behind contradicting historically proven facts and, at the very least, attempt to defend their conference wrecking behaviour
Your crawling-mate, Brainless Bruce,has at least had the guts to put his cards on the table and suggest ethnic cleansing to be the answer to it all by:
"letting the Palestinians settle in the other Arab nations"

BBC News Middle East
22 August 2013 Last updated at 13:49 ET

Explosions have been heard in northern Israel, after rockets were fired across the border from southern Lebanon.

Sirens sounded across the area, but no casualties were reported. Footage showed some minor damage at a kibbutz near the coastal town of Nahariya.

Four rockets were fired from southern Lebanon, a stronghold of the Shia Islamist movement Hezbollah.

An Israeli military spokesman said one of the rockets was intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system.

Rockets have been fired into Israel intermittently by militant groups since the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in 2006.

But an Israeli army spokesman told the BBC he did not believe Hezbollah was behind the attack.

Lebanese news agencies reported all four rockets were fired at Israel from the Tyre region in southern Lebanon.

Explosions were heard on Thursday afternoon in Nahariyah, on Israel's west coast, and as far east as Kiryat Shemona.

Footage showed the remains of a rocket in a street, with damage to a car and nearby windows.

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner blamed "global jihad"' elements for the attack, but added Israel had not retaliated.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded swiftly to the attack, saying Israel was "acting on all fronts" to defend its citizens.

"Our policy is clear: to protect and to prevent. Whoever tries to harm us should know we will harm them," he said.

The Lebanese, of all people, have had bitter experience of Israeli war crimes in the shape of 3,500 massacred refugees - it was an invasion by Israeli troops - part of a larger exercise - also admitted by Israel.
The news first appeared in the Irish Times on the day I put it up - it's still to be found - you go and look for it, I can't be arsed because I know you will just move on to defending another act of State terrorism or war crime.

BEIRUT (AP) — The Lebanese military said a group of Israeli soldiers crossed the border into Lebanon and were wounded in an unspecified explosion early Wednesday — a rare incident along the heavily guarded and volatile frontier.

The Israeli side appeared to dispute the location of the incident, saying four soldiers were wounded while carrying out routine activities along the border with Lebanon.

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said a blast wounded four soldiers, some lightly, others moderately, "in operational activity along the Lebanon border."

He said the troops were carrying out routine activities "aimed at providing quiet to the residents of the north in particular and the residents of Israel in general."

"During the operational activity, the force came upon an explosive," he said, adding that the military was investigating whether the blast was caused by an old or new explosive.

"But this activity was done and will be done again responsibly and in consideration for the security of the people of Israel," Yaalon added.

I see your break hasn't done much to lessen your rabid right wing Zionist fervour – where did you go – Belfast to be with the 'Boys'?
The troops were inside the Lebanese border – early reports suggest that they stepped on a land mine – since then, there is no further information – probably in an effort not to do any more damaged other than that already done by Israel invading a sovereign territory during peace negotiations .
The Israelis admitted that they were on Lebanese soil and that they had to get them out with the help of flares.
In an early slip-of-the-tongue Netanyahu made it clear that whatever territory they trespassed on the were going to do what suited them to "defend Israel"

"Our soldiers defend us and our borders, which is what they were doing last night. We will continue to react to defend Israel's borders," he was quoted by military radio as saying. "We'll continue to work to ensure the protection of our country."

They broke international laws in doing so and have made it clear that they will do it at any time it takes their fancy – but we already knew that from their record of international war crimes.   
It has never been in question that the Israeli troops were on Lebanese soil, neither has it been disputed that they probably stepped on a landmine.
What isn't clear is when those mines were planted, which is immaterial anyway.
Despite the appalling record of injuries caused by landmines cause, they are not internationally illegal - Israel, along with United States, Russia, China, Myanmar, United Arab Emirates, Cuba, Egypt, India, Israel and Iran have all refused to sign a treaty banning them - Israel is listed as among the worst offenders – in fact many Middle Eastern countries use them.
To describe invading soldiers stepping on a landmine as "a war crime" is crassness in the extreme, even for you, thought to continue to avoid the fact that this probably deliberately timed internationally illegal incursion into a sovereign territory, along with the continued building of illegal settlements during peace talks, is par for the course for you and you rabid buddies.
Take another holiday – the last one obviously wasn't long enough.

Aug 14 (Reuters) - Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah claimed responsibility on Wednesday for explosions which wounded four Israeli soldiers who infiltrated into southern Lebanon last week.

Nasrallah told Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen television that Hezbollah fighters planted bombs in an area they knew in advance Israeli soldiers would pass through, and detonated one of them when a first group of special forces reached the area.

A second bomb was triggered when Israeli reinforcements arrived on the scene, Nasrallah said, giving the group's first account of an incident about which Israeli military officials have given few details.

"This was a controlled and deliberate operation," Nasrallah said of the explosions. "It was not accidental, and was not (caused by) a landmine left behind by the Israeli occupation."

it, in reality is all just vain bullshit, leaving death and destruction in its wake, looking for the next opportunity to strike again.

I have two points to make here GfS

1. I do not slavishly follow anybody else, nor seek anybody else's approval, especially not yours. I look at the evidence and draw conclusions from it, which is why I am often disrespectful to those who twist or ignore it.

2. Whenever you drop the airy fairy mystical crap, there is just a glimmer of the rational debater, but never quite enough .

You could, if you took the trouble, be coherent. You rarely take the trouble and frankly your more excitable rants are virtually incomprehensible.

You may have noticed that I tend to post in bursts with quite long gaps. This is because I have other things to do in the real world which keep me almost as busy as when I was in full time employment.

So I don't have the time or energy to decipher long, hysterical screeds.

""After 45 years, Israeli settlements account for less than 2% of the territories.""

True, as far as it goes!

But what is not admitted, is the FACT that Israel has taken control of 62% of the territories, fenced it off from the Palestinian 38%, and is actively "encouraging" Palestinians to leave.

So effective is this "encouragement" that the Palestinian population of the most fertile land, Area C, has been reduced from approx 320,000 to 56,000, and is still falling.

In the same period the Israeli population of this desireable land has risen from 1,200 to 367,000.

That is the unvarnished truth of the situation, however much the anti Muslims here may wish it were not.

""What's the matter, Don? You can't see the similarities between the Palestinians and Israelis, with the Europeans and the Native""

Sure can! And with the Americans and the Indians.

Same old same old.

Massively superior weapons destroying those who stand in the way of expansion.

Fits the Israel Palestine situation to a T.

When you come down and can think, take a look at the space occupied by 4 million Palestinians and compare with the area in which the 7.8 million Israelis live, and then consider the FACT that Israel is grabbing more on a daily basis.

"....since Israel is unequivocally hated in the Arab and Islamic world, prolonging the refugee crisis paints Israel as the perennial bogeyman to the masses. Playing on the popular hatred of Israel, the plight of the refugees works as a rallying cry for Arab regimes, fueling nationalism and thereby, uniting people under the banner of their leadership — reinforcing their own clutch on power by deflecting all attention from their domestic problems onto Israel. Seeing as how this crisis (and the existence of Israel in general) is such a blessing to the tyrannical Arab regimes, it's obvious that they're content prolonging the sub-human treatment of Palestinians."

The LAST set of borders for Mandate Palestine that were accepted by both sides was when TransJordan , 77% of the territory of the Mandate, was given to the Muslims, and Jews were forbidden to settle there. THOSE BORDERS include the ENTIRE West Bank as a part of the Jewish Homeland.


The peace treaties with Egypt and with Jordan that HAVE been signed acknowledge those borders, with very small corrections. THERE ARE NO TREATIES with Syria, Lebanon, et al- there are only armistice lines that have been in dispute since 1948.

"The terms of the Treaty were designed to end all dispute and both sides agreed and signed it, so the agreed borders were, are, and will remain the legal one until new ones are drawn up"


What the FUCK???


WHAT TREATY?

Try grasping the reality that I laid out for the whole of the region. See if that doesn't get sobering. This is not an easy 'tit for tat', whomever get's the most blame loses, game.

...and if you get the full ramifications of that, PLUS other factors not included...just the ones in those two posts, your balls are goin' to do some mighty shrinking, no matter what your arrogance thinks of itself!

This is a global affair, if not handled VERY delicately...so much, that the Israel/Palestinian matter would be small potatoes.....not as small as your balls.....that contains your smaller brain....where in it, even a smaller place is reserved for your prejudices!

Don't bother me with it, unless you think it through.....I'm only trying to point the way, if not pull you through.
Think LARGER!

"Jim, you should recuse yourself from the subject"
And you and your fellow eejit shold have the balls to address the subject of this discussion - the possible effects of the Israeli regime's behaviour on the current peace talks aimed at ending decades of bloodshed, instead of using it to promote Israeli imperialist ambitions.

After I posted a response to Stringsinger post...I forgot to read the two by Jim.
Jim, you should recuse yourself from the subject....you don't get it, and have some biased axe to grind, that is nonproductive. I apologize for mistakenly thinking that you might have been passed that. With your mindset, Israel and Palestine will never resolve anything. I'm sorry.
