United Nations Security Council Resolutions Currently Being Violated by Israel

[trooper]

This "Israel basher" has the handle "Trooper"(Like in SS Trooper?),and, according to his bio, is a police (Politzie)officer in Germany? HELLO! At least be honest...if you hate Jews, just come out of your post WWII closet, Gerd! And, Yes, I am Jewish and damn proud of it! (Juden, to you.:rolleyes

I can hear it coming..."This is the HIGH Road, mmmmkay?"
Well, when you start trashing the Jewish state, the gloves come off!

Hansolo,

read my post again if you please. Show me where I "trashed the Jewish state". As I said before I do hold sympathies for Israel. I admire it's people's will and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. However, I don't side with it because I continue to believe that both sides did their part to keep this conflict alive, especially during the last couple years.
I refuse to resort to black-and-white-painting.

I consider your accusation of me being a Nazi paramilitary a rude insult.

Yes, I'm a German police officer and I'm proud of it. And for the record, a lot of my colleagues are currently assigned to guard local synagogues against suspected terrorist attacks by muslim fundamentalists.

I hope this clears up some of your misunderstandings.


Regards,

Trooper

cuchulainn - I recognize that not everyone uses the UN resolutions as the prime motive for our invasion, but some people do.

Frankly, for any of the reasons used to justify the war, there are better targets than Iraq. There are far more threatening nations than Iraq, and there are nations much more heavily involved in supporting terrorism, and there are many more despotic dictators than Saddam. Claire Wolfe addresses that last point quite well:

What are you willing to sacrifice In the cause of deposing every dictator who tortures, kills, enslaves, or imprisons his people without cause? What are countries like Cuba, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Angola, Libya, or Haiti (just to name a few) worth to you, personally? Would you sacrifice your son's life solely to liberate the people of those nations? Your daughter's? Yours? How much of your life are you willing to surrender in taxes to settle Columbia's problems or Myanmar's by force of American arms? If the U.S. deposes one dictator and the citizens of that country allow another to rise in his place, how many years, lives, and billions of dollars should we spend to re-invade, re-depose, and re-build? Are you willing to risk having your country, your state, or your hometown nuked, bio-attacked, or chem-attacked by some petty dictator who's angry at U.S. attempts to overthrow him -- or by residents of some country that resents U.S. occupation? Are you willing to live 100 percent of the rest of your life -- and have your children and grandchildren live 100 percent of the rest of their lives -- in a state of heightened alerts and curtailed civil liberties (the biproducts of wartime)? ... I want the dictators gone, too. Every last one of them. But this is not the way.

Ian,

I'll add to my last post (to the stuff under the ++++'s) -- Who said we have to address the most deserving nation first?

We address each nation separately, using different responses appropriate to the particular situation and in the time of our own choosing.

As for those who use the resolutions as the motive, they too are confusing the resolutions and the justification.

KNOCK OFF THE PERSONAL ATTACKS!

Jumping Judas Priest on a flaming pogo stick, I swear to whatever God may be listening I have never, in all my born days, come across anybody as bloody bull-headed and iron-assed as this group.

Do I have to come to your house and beat the words: "No Personal Attacks" into your foreheads with a tire tool? Is it going to jolly well require an extended session with a tattoo needle to get my point across?

Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Lights OUT.
