Kofi gets his priorities straight - Again

Annan issued a statement Sunday through a spokeswoman condemning Israel's actions. He urged the Israeli government "to halt its military incursions into the Gaza Strip, which have led to the deaths of scores of Palestinians, among them many civilians, including children.

"The secretary-general likewise calls on the Palestinian Authority to take action to halt the firing of rockets against Israeli targets by Palestinian militants. He reminds both sides to this conflict that they have a legal obligation to protect all civilians."
Condemning Israel. Calling on the PA to take action.

This isn't even a case of misplaced moral equivalence, no, Israel is condemned for taking action after Arabs murder two children. A murder which is not an isolated case but which fits a pattern of constant and sustained rocket attacks against a town completely outside of any officially disputed area.

I am not going to write here what I would like Al-Zarqawi to do to Annan. Perhaps you can guess. I don't think Al-Zarqawi would though: Annan is one of his greatest allies.
Israel presses on with Gaza operation

In simple words...fuck off! Isreal has encroached on Palastinian property. Its wrong for Arabs to kill Isrealis..but its also wrong for Isreal to steal others' land. Think about it.

"Fuck off"... How wude!
The issue of the "Palastinian property" (sic) has yet to be decided. See UN SC resolution 242. Until then, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PALESTINIAN PROPERTY, AND THERE WON'T BE!
And here you go: "Its wrong for Arabs to kill" (sic) BUT...
Show me where Israel steals land. Such an easy claim to make. Proof is never needed as far as dickheads like you are concerned. Now put up or shut up.

Nothing says courage like Anonymous. So I'll delurk because for once, I DO have something I to add.

Dearest Anonymous, here's your HOME WORK:

- Go look up "U.N. Partition Plan Map 1947" on November 29, 1947, who accepted it, who didn't, and why (despite being given the Negev, inhabitable and unsuitable for agriculture at the time)
- Go look up what took place a few days after that, who started it and why (also known as the War of Independence, 1947-48)
- Go look up why Arabs from surrounding nations wanted Arabs in Israel to leave the country
- Go look up the Sinai Campaign in 1956, who started it and why
- Go look up the Six Days War, 1967, who started it, ON WHAT DAY and why
- Go look up the Yom Kippur war, 1973, who started it and why
- Go look up how old the "Palestinian people" is (most brilliant recent invention)
- Go look up the Oslo Accords
- Go look up how Arafat systematically disregarded them
- Go look up his English speeches and the Arabic version
- GO LOOK UP WHO EHUD BARAK IS, AND BARAK'S OFFER TO THE PALESTINIANS - and you'll discovered that was the moment so, so many of us were devastated and stopped believing in their good faith when it was turned down.
- Go find a Jewish mother who is prepping up her 4-year-old to martyrdom
- Look up news reports of Arabs celebrating on the streets whenever a Jew is killed.
- Look up news reports of Jews celebrating on the streets whenever an Arab is killed. Couldn't find them? oh right. THERE AREN'T ANY! And if some Orthodox Jews decided to do so, it would be unacceptable. Because we're SANE.
- Look up news reports of Israelis demonstrating against the occupation and the killing of Palestinians.
- Look up news reports of Arabs demonstrating against the bombings and occupation and and the killing of Israelis. Couldn't find them? oh right. THERE AREN'T ANY!
- Look up news reports of civilian Israelis thrown into jail and shot or lynched because they protested against their government
- Look up news reports of Arabs thrown into jail and shot or lynched because they protested against their government. THERE ARE SOME. WITH PICTURES.
"Collaborators" aren't very cherished.
- Go look up why Jordan refused to become in charge of the West Bank, and Egypt of Gaza. Go find out why the Arabs despise the Palestinians (what, you're shocked???) and why they're regarded as trouble by their "brothers".
- Go look up Black September
- Go look up Palestinian camps in Jordan and Lebanon. Why aren't you protesting those? Don't tell me you DIDN't KNOW they existed!

And never again - NEVER AGAIN, DO YOU HEAR ME? - say something along the lines of "It is wrong of X to kill Y BUT" - that makes you a misguided waste of breath. And you can bet your sorry little arse I'd be telling you the same were you Israeli. SHAME ON YOU!

You're not pro-Palestinian, you're simply anti-Israeli. And that's simply sad. Go look up these things so you can be biased in an intelligent, well-informed way. Ignorance is deadly. And bloody tiresome.
