Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

If you have a gender problem.

I will edit the above "man" to person.

Try having cold showers instead of warm.

It was either a man or a very butch woman that you wouldn't want to meet on a dark night (or at all).

Nick, aka fred, your attempts at humour remind me of Gordon Brown's.

haymaker, you anti-lesbian as well? At least your humour (if that is what it is) is Prescottian, good for an occasional smile.

fahel and Fred-please let me have your comments on the fact that 77% of Arabs living in Israel would prefer to stay in Israel rather than live anywhere else.

Now does that lead one to believe that there lives living in Israel are blighted as fahel pethetically trys to make us believe??

Majority of Israeli-Arabs Prefer Israel
A December 2009 survey showed that a majority (62%) of Arab citizens of Israel would prefer to remain Israeli citizens rather than become citizens of a future Palestinian state. Similarly, a poll conducted by Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in June 2009 found that 77% of Israeli-Arabs would rather remain in their native land as Israeli citizens than in any other country in the world.

hey yuff,
Those two + haymaker are not in the habit of allowing facts to interfere with their opinions LOL

I think we all forget that we will die one day but cannot carry the wealth (if any) to our grave.

Do we need to kill or be killed in such unncessary conflicts? Why? Is that the message from god to misuse, invade, kill, or be killed for power?

All nations can live nicely along each other. They just need to forget the past and think about the future and respect humanity.

which law ?

If true, then the incident is barbaric and against international law.

Camelot

Give you a reference.

Try use of poisonous gas or gassing, Should help you.

Arabs have been gassing each other for years

nothing new there

seems the law is more honoured in the breach than in the observance

Got to say you meet all sorts on bulletin boards. On the one side we have ahoj advocating the removal of borders and surely everyone will get along just fine. On the other side we have Camelot who thinks gassing people is all in a day's work, together with In the Land of B who checks under his bed every night for anti-Semites. We have fahel who believes everything he reads. Finally, we have Fred on his own planet. You've got to laugh!

K: Don't leave out the Italians and the Scots.

as the arab mind set seems stuck in the 15th century, it possibly was all in a days work for them

Remember saddam used gas many mnay years ago on his own people Falajah I believe-so yes nothing new here for the Egyptians to gas the palestinians.

If they gas their own can you imagine what they would do to the Israelis??

'Quote'
Who Says That Palestine Is Our Land?
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English
or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs.
What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by any moral code of conduct.
Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine
can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home.
- Mahatma Gandhi Peaceful Ex-Leader of India (1938).

"Let us not ignore the truth ... politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves...
The country is theirs, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country.
- David Ben Gurion (Israeli Prime Minister 1949)

"There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? No. They see one thing: we have come and we have stolen their [Palestinian] country. Why would they accept that?"
- David Ben Gurion (Israeli Prime Minister 1949)

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL SAYS:
Human rights defenders working in the Occupied Territories of Palestine are at risk of attack by Israeli settlers. Amnesty International is concerned at the latest such attack against those who seek through their presence to afford protection to Palestinians and to bear witness to the abuses perpetrated against them by Israeli settlers in the area

Tove Johansson from Stockholm was with a small group of human rights workers to accompany
Palestinian schoolchildren to their homes. The 19-year old Swedish human rights worker had her
cheekbone broken by Israeli settlers.

American Rachel Corrie tried to stop Israel From bulldozing more Palestinian homes
The Israeli bulldozer drove over Rachel Corrie.Rachel Corrie was wounded by the bulldozer.
Rachel Corrie died in hospital.

American Tom Hurndall was Escorting Palestinian Children In 2004 and he was shot in the
Head.

The Egyptians have denied gassing Palestinians. I don't know what the truth is, but I don't automatically believe everything which is said which is not verifiable.
Neither do I condemn whole nations or peoples or religions on the basis of the actions of a few people. That is the way of the mischievous, the ignorant, the stupid and the hate mongers. And is one of the core causes of wars.

I'm not fearful to condemn an entire nation when it needs to be.

If the Palestinians were to lay down their weapons there would be no more bloodshed. If the Israelis were to lay down their weapons there would be no more Israel.

ITl.

I don't think many would confuse you with a loving, understanding individual, but I do agree with the sentiment of most of posting 1714.

fred, I care not a jot for what you think.

Gausie, not all Palestinians want unending war and conflict and some want a reasonable settlement. They cannot be held responsible for the militants, just as all Muslims cannot be blamed for the actions of the murderous islamofascists.
Of course, the vast majority of Palestinians support a state of their own, and who can blame them. But until they lay down their weapons bloodshed will, as you say, continue. Peace requires a leap of faith from both sides, but a prolonged period of peace is a pre-requisite, and as long as they demand the extinction of Israel, they will never have anything.

"But until they lay down their weapons bloodshed will, as you say, continue."

Same argument was advanced by HMG to the IRA, but negotiations took place before this happened.

Although, there wasn't appropriation of land, property and ignoring of human rights at that time, in the ongoing conflict. (Decommissioning of arms was more, or less seen with a blind eye, but delayed the negotiations taking place at an earlier time.

Nor was there a government in Britain which would condone such policies.

At the end of the day, negotiation and a peace deal will occur, but for the time being it doesn't suit the internal politics of the present Israeli administration to do do.

The killing will continue!
