Palestenian-Israeli Conflict

Manewbie, allow me to post it for you.

It says at the top:


That is an obvious update to the information below. Which states:



This list, as it says, is only the people that are treated by the emergency medical systems in Israel, that is what Magen David Adom is. It states 18 killed abroad and 3 diplomats. That number throws your difference completely out. 21 is not the difference between 1114 and 999. On top of that, all IDF personnel are treated by IDF medical staff and are not included in the number. It says that clearly.


You were in error. The question is, was it intentional.
 
Yep. Every attack so far from the Israelis have been a precision airstrike with an ultra sophisticated gps system that the US gave them. Since it is so high tech and accurate it can never miss by more than 2 inches. Any "so called miss" that hits anyone else is actually done intentionally because we all know every Israeli is a bloodthirsty scumbag. And every Palestinian attack is with a 1870's mortar cannon that the Palestinians had to scrounge for years to buy. They mean to hit only uniformed soldiers or military bases, but the old rusty, falling apart equipment keeps them from doing it.

That is why the Israeli attack last week was with shells.
 
Do you have any evidence to back up that highly defamatory remark, or are you just not happy that his opinion doesn't match yours. Thats very mature, yet somehow very predictable.
 
Mr. Annan was 'cleared' but not because of exculpatory evidence. There just wasn't enough information to prove he was guilty. Kofi Annan is 'innocent in kinda the same way OJ Simpson is innocent. It can't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but that doesn't mean they didn't do what they were suspected of.

However, since he wasn't indicted I don't think you can just arbitrarily dismiss the Secretary-General's opinion because you think he's corrupt. Besides, there are plenty of other reasons to ignore the irrelavancy that is the UN, ones that can be proven.
 
The only people who think the UN is irrelevant is the United States, who quite frankly are no more innocent of corruption than Kofi Annan is, lest we bring up ENRON,
 
Palestinians have a much less accurate system, no matter how you spin it. I'm just trying to get past the point where you think Palestinians are worse. Is a mortar attack in a populated area any better than a shelling of a beach where Palestinian civilians go? No.
Is a precision airstrike in a crowded area where Israel knows civilians will die any better than a mortar that can land anywhere in a huge area, where a civilian has a good chance of dying? No.

Israel's airstrikes are precise. Yes, their technology comes from the US. The deaths don't come from it going off course; they come from the explosion that comes from a missile or bomb in a crowded area.

I'm trying to get you past the point where you think that Israelis are scumbags and Palestinians are bloodthirsty scumbags. I already got past it and said that both are equally bad concerning civilians.
 
There is a difference between thinking the UN is generally irrelevant and thinking Kofi Annan is corrupt. If you want to compare Kofi Annan to Ken Lay, go for it. I think they both are pretty despicable.
 
Ohhh..I feel dumb now. Correct you are there sir. I didn't actually read the site .
I don't think that 15 deaths make a large difference in the deaths of Palestinians vs. Israelis though. Still around 3000 more Palestinians dead.
 
I dont think the two compare at all, Kofi Annan has more decency in one testicle than Ken Lay and his government friends have in their entire bodies.
 
Everybody makes mistakes. But as you say, there are a lot more Palestinians that are dead. Some of it is due to their own fault, suicide bombings, mortars that fall on their own people, potentially the incident on the beach last week, etc. But, I don't think that can account for all of it. And to be honest, I don't trust either side to give a full reckoning of all the details.
 
I think they are both pretty terrible. I believe that Kofi did not want any action taken against Iraq because it was lining his pockets (I view his son getting money off of it and his son's relationship to the issue being the dad's position as the dad lining his pockets). There was also the sexual harrassment and graft issues.

And of course, to be honest, his criticism of the US, doesn't sit well with me either.
 
Kofi Annans criticism of the US is mirrored by practically every head of state in the world. As for the rest, he was cleared, move on, you're living in a dream world.
 
his son was caught helping companies and using his influence break the UN embargo on Iraq. It was in many newspapers worldwide.
 
and Kofi Annan was cleared of any wrongdoing, also in papers worldwide.
 
Enron does not equal the US government. However I think the US government is corrupt.

The UN is irrelvant.
