The Ceasefire

Obviously mistranslated and taken out of context. The peace seeking palestinians would never say such a thing. :boing1:

Hah. (I am having PETA moment flashbacks...when supporters say 'the quote is taken out of context)

I know you are being heavily sarcastic....



Anyhow, how does the UN resolution of granting statehood to the palestinians play into this?

It does not. Not surprisingly, in the same way as the Palestinian refugees do not meet the UN's definition of a refugee, hence the separate agency, the Palestinian state does not meet any of the criteria the UN has for a state.

It could backfire, big. next series of attack, Israel could then react against a country and declare war. Same with the ICC. Can go both ways.

At the end, the Palestinians will have their state through negotiation with Israel.

The Ceasefire

It’s amusing to read (in Patrick’s update) that the Israeli government has agreed, as part of the “ceasefire,” to stop the “targeting of individuals.” What moral universe do we live in where Hamas launches hundreds of missiles and sets off bombs the intent of which is the mass homicide of civilians, yet what the world is whipped up about is Israel’s targeted assassination of the jihadist leaders who direct the mass homicide of civilians?

If you’re actually concerned about human rights, Israel’s approach, targeting the terror chiefs in order to minimize civilian casualties (notwithstanding that Palestinian civilians are the ones who voted to put Hamas in charge), compares quite favorably to Hamas’s intentional targeting of civilians and its storage of military assets in and around civilian infrastructure — guaranteeing that there will be Palestinian civilian casualties when Israel inevitably reacts to Hamas’s relentless provocations. If Israel is not going to target the terrorist leaders — who then have license to orchestrate mass-murder attacks with impunity — what is it going to target?
END EXCERPT
I agree, Israel shouldn't target individuals, they should carpet bomb the bastards, ala Dresden. Clearly the policy of carefully and with as little loss of civilian casualties, taking out those actively firing rockets into Israel doesn't work. Maybe if they actually slaughtered people like cattle, the terrorist rat bastards would think twice.

Gonna make TEZ proud with talk like that.
