I do not look at it as theft. Israel needs to stop the means used t owage war against them. Since no one else is doing it, and I dare say actually support it, them are doing it themselves. Do not get mad at them for using extreme measures to extreme acts against them.
You've just proved my point lowing... Israel can do no wrong in your eyes.
Nope, not compared to the wrongs that have been and is being done to them.

There is absolutely no way to deny the fact that Israel faces no repercussions for the repeated violations of UN resolutions. Yes, the UN is biased, in favour of Israel. Resolutions against Israel are hollow threats that carry no repercussions for continued violations so what are they bitching about?

If I decree that all resolutions against North Korea are biased, then quote a North Korean website that states that the resolutions against North Korea are biased would you accept that?

EDIT:http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/11/ … Rights.php
There we go, NK are clearly completely innocent victims of UN harassment!
Unfortunately I doubt there are any sources that are unbiased one way or another. What you need to ask is, regardless of the source, is the info factual or not.

Tell ya what find me an unbiased website concerning abortion.
All the sources use as evidence of bias is the fact that they believe there are too many resolutions agaisnt Israel. None of them go anywhere near to saying that all of them are unfair and as there are no repercussions for violating these resolutions, who cares how many of them there are. If the UN wrote a million resolutions against Israel, Israel violates them all and the UN does nothing it makes no difference. They also talk about the fact that the UN spends lots of time and effort over this particular issue, which is understandable as the UN created the problem in the first place.

As I've repeatedly said, If Israel was treated fairly there would be far fewer resolutions agaisnt Israel, but they would be under economic sanctions for their ongoing violations of the fewer resolutions. One of the reasons that there are so many resolutions agaisnt Israel is that they continue to do the exact same things that they've been criticized by the UN for as they suffer no repercussions for their repeated and ongoing violations.

I have already posted this link http://www.science.co.il/Arab-Israeli-c … -05-20.asp  which gave you the examples you asked for, but of course you are dismissing them as pro-Israel so pretty much you ask for shit, then when it is provided you cock block it as biased amd inadmissable. there really is no advancing this discussion with you if you refuse to accept info that supports Israel and its postion, yet only acknowledge info that is against it as unbiased. Pretty much just like the UN ironically enough.

Nope I am not, I am taking a side, I side that I feel is in the right. Israel deserves to exist, it deserves to exist in peace and would do so if left the fuck alone.

You support terror groups ( just not their actions) that use cililians as shields as they launch attacks from amongst them. You support nations that have waged war against Israel from literally the day after it was formed. I believe Israel if left alone, would not seek to destroy anyone, or conquor the entire region. It merely wants to exist. Yet no one seems to want that to happen. Israel is not going anywhere without a fight. A fight they will win. So if everyone feels they need to keep fucking with Israel then they will continue to suffer under Israel's resolve to defend itself and yes, have the nerve to actually win any fight that is brought to it.

Personally I do not give a shit about Israel or Palastine. I have chosen a side based on what I believe is right and wrong, and I think the UN and the world, needs to finally accept Israel and leave them the fuck alone.

Ok, actually read what I said, go on, try it for once. I agreed with your sources that said that the UN takes out disproportionately more resolutions agaisnt Israel than anyone else. What none of these sources even come close to doing is claiming that a) there should be no UN resolutions agaisnt Israel or b) Isreal should recieve no punishment for their ongoing violations.

I read your sources and failed to find much other than some stats about the fact that the UN has carried out more investigations and made more resolutions against Israel than any other country, Turkey and Morocco coming in second (conveniently destroying the whole 'the UN just hates Jews' bit that the rest of the article relies on).

The article fails to address the fact that Israel has recieved no punishment for all of the violations, as do you, because it makes the whole 'UN hate Israel' argument look stupid as the UN refuses to do anything about Israels actions other than make more meaningless resolutions unlike their stance with other countries. If the Un hates Israel so much why no punishment? Why just stick to meaningless resolutions?

Again NO!, this link show you and gives examples of how the UN acts and how the UN treats Israel, it gives examples of this, not just numbers but events. It clearly points out the double standards used against Israel. Precisly the info you requested.

No, I requested proof that each of the resolutions agaisnt Israel is unfair. If the UN spends more money and effort regarding Israel than any other country, it doesn't mean that the findings are wrong.

Again you fail to respond to the complete lack of consequences for Israeli violations. A clear bias in favour of Israel.

You asked for examples as to how Israel was being traeted unfair, I gave those to you, you will not accept that. Nothing more I am willing to do about it.

Nope, I see Israel as kicking the shit out of those that try and destroy it. If it takes land away from its agressors, the lesson is, stop being agressive toward them.

I absolutely agreed that the UN treats Israel unfairly in two respects, too many investigations and little to no repercussions for violations.

You haven't and cannot show that any of the actual resolutions against Israel are in error. Your links don't show that the resolutions are wrong, just that the reson that there are so many is that the UN tries harder to find them in the case of Israel (and Turkey and Morocco) than other countries.

Your argument is the equivalent of finding that US police forces are biased agaisnt ethnic minorities and then deciding to release all ethnic minorities from prison. The police are biased therefore all convictions against minorities are wrong.

Just bacause the UN treats Israel differently doesn't mean that any of the resolutions are wrong.

Yet again you cannot bring yourself to criticize a single thing Israel does... not one thing. They are angels in your eyes. This kind of sums up the black and white, clear-cut way you view the world.

You have chosen a side based on the underlying, fundamental principle you believe to be right... same as me, except I support the Palestinian side. I see Israel as a force that has established itself in a region where other people were already living. They did this by means of terrorism - by that I mean both the terror campaign they waged in the run up to the foundation of Israel and the collective punishment they use to consolidate their grip on the region. They continue to seize land that is not theirs - as recognised by the International community and UN. They build up WMD stockpiles in the same way as countries that are invaded for this very reason. They operate a two-tier, apartheid society where practitioners of Judaism are given preferential treatment. I believe at this stage that Israel must be ultimately accepted as a legitimate nation by its Arab neighbours as we are too far down this road to undo what has been done, but it must meet the Arab neighbours it has wronged halfway in this regard. I support the fundamental Palestinian cause but I cannot turn a blind eye to innocent people being killed in the name of that cause, you on the other hand, it would seem, can allow your morality to bend and twist around such words as "collateral damage" and "greater good".

And by the way, the UN and Internationally community already recognises Israel, which is a lot more than can be said for Palestine, which is still barely more than a de facto nation.

what you say is true braddock no denying that: However I can not support, or have sympathy for anyone that uses women and children as shields, while launching attacks, uses women and children as suicide bombers etc.....I view Israels response t osuch things as nothing more than extreme actions, require extreme measures.

If Palastine wnats my sympathy, then:

1. loose Hamas as your offical govt.

2. stop launching attacks into Israel

3. stop using women and children as shields if they refuse to stop attacking.

1. Don't spit on a foreign countries democratically elected Govt. The Palestinians turned the Hamas because it was the only group who promised to stand up against Israel.

2. By now each attack is retaliation for another attack. You should know this by now. Israel kills a civilian, so that civilians family want revenge. So they kill an Israeli civilian and then the cycle goes on. It has been for years.

3. Don't know how you use women and children as shields when it's a helicopter that's firing down on you.

1. agreed, however this does not mean that I have to like or support the elected govt. Or feel sorry for those that elected it.

2. Mope, Israel has extended olive branches, just to have them blown out of their hands. Israel does not target civilans. Do they kill civilians? yeah they do, only because the Palastinies put them in harms way on purpose, by 1. launching attacks from civilian populations and 2. putting them between themselves and Isael.

3. Actually I think you do how they use women and children as shields. Even by a helicopter attack.

Israel has been continously attacked and terrorized since its independence ( just like the Jews themselves before Israel existed ) in turn are YOU really all that surpised as to how they are dealing with it? Really?

The jews weren't thrown out of Palestine, they decided to leave for a better life in Europe.

The Palestinians were thrown out of their own land by the Israelis, based on some 2,000 year old mumbo-jumbo.
The UN did not approve that BTW, the freedoms and land ownership rights of the Palestiinians were supposed to be respected, maybe thats why the UN is pissed off.

Don't see any similarity TBH.

1. Ya lost me, are you admitting or denying that Israel has been continuously attacked and terrorized ever since the UN the established the state of Israel?

2. Oh I see, they were not driven out, they just one day decided to pack up and give Europe a try huh?

3. Perhaps, but did anyone respect the Jews or Israel? Or are you telling me that everyone accepted Israel but the day after independence Israel started conquoring the region.

This is where you and I differ. I support Palestine but refuse to support extremism in the name of their cause (even though they are subjected to extreme hardship themselves), you on the other hand support Israel and condone their extremism, accepting it as a necessary means to achieve a greater good; in actuality there's not too much distance between that mindset and the mindset of a man who is about to fly a civilian airliner into a building... I'm sure many an Islamic extremist tells themselves that what they are about to do is "an extreme measure in response to an extreme action".

If Palestine wants my sympathy, then:

1. lose Hamas as your offical govt.
Maybe this might happen if Israel elected a Government that would put a stop to the illegal building of houses on occupied land. The election of Hamas was indicative in many ways of the Palestinians complete despair of the political system after years of let downs and helplessness against continued oppression.

Agreed, or at least stop launching attacks at civilian targets. If you want to target Israel as a foreign aggressor then target their military and security infrastructure, not innocent people trying to go about their daily business.

3. stop using women and children as shields if they refuse to stop attacking.
I agree. However, I still don't believe this gives the Israelis the right to blow up civilian areas regardless of the innocent people who may be being used as shields in the vicinity. If a cop was chasing an armed robber and they grabbed a member of the public as a shield would the police just mill through the hostage to get to the robber?

1. Ya lost me, are you admitting or denying that Israel has been continuously attacked and terrorized ever since the UN the established the state of Israel?
Have you ever thought to ask why they have been continually attacked since their establishment lowing? For a man who advocates a shoot to kill policy against anyone who invades his own personal space you are displaying serious double standards in this regard.

2. Oh I see, they were not driven out, they just one day decided to pack up and give Europe a try huh?
Pretty much. There was certainly no grand design or conspiratorial consensus among ancient nations to keep Jews on the move, they had several episodes and conflicts over the years and in some cases they were pushed while in others they moved of their own free will... the idea of a grand conspiracy between nations before the days of the internet or even movable type is just plain paranoid tbh. Should modern day Europe be ceded over to modern day Americans because their ancestors had to flee to the 'new world' because of religious persecution a few hundred years ago? I think not.

3. Perhaps, but did anyone respect the Jews or Israel? Or are you telling me that everyone accepted Israel but the day after independence Israel started conquoring the region.
Israel has been given an incredible amount of leeway by the International community, largely thanks to America. In the past the International community has acted against the likes of South Africa, Iraq and North Korea for practices that Israel gets a pass on for some reason.

We do differ, I honestly believe if Israel would be left alone they would leave others alone, like I said, olive branches have been offered only to be shot out of their hands. I do think if you feel you need to actually shoot someone it should be to kill them. Israel is doing what it feel it needs to, ot gain control over the situations it faces.

1. I agree, except the previous govts. did nothing to stop attacks into Israel, they turned a blind eye if not actually assisted. So perhaps the blame lies somewhere other than Israel having to deal with this bullshit.

2. agree. at least you will gain some street cred and sympathy from others.

3. nope, but we both know tha that hostage would die before the gunman got away never to be seen again.

Israel is here to stay, it is time to get over it, it appears attacking them time after time day after day is not gunna get you anything except a worse beating than could ever be delievered. So try another approach.
