<< quote by busmaster11: how do you explain the independent findings of the Human Rights Watch which suggest Isreal has committed war crimes in Jenin? Look. I' support Isreal's right to defend itself. But unlike half of you guys here I don't kiss their collective behinds, which I'm sure to some of you that automatically means I'm pro-terrorism. Whatever you want to believe is fine with me...
And if you're wondering, we do hold ISreal to a highr standard. They're suppposed to be a western demcratic country, one with laws and traditions and judicial systems we can relate to and respect. Any way you feel we should deal with terrorists from Arb coutries is another matter, but Isreal will need to be accountable for each and every action they commit, just as the US is. end quote >>
Gee, the Human Rights Watch CNN link which you cited also says it found no evidence of a massacre occured and that the "<U>Palestinian gunmen</U>...endangered civilians...planting explosives and intermingling with civilians during" the fight. Time mag. this week also concludes no massacre occured. So the accusations by (Erakat) Palestinians of hundreds dead/massacred in Jenin or Nitemare's thread "500...dead in 12 days?" are more propaganda and less truth. Chief Pally negotiator Saeb Erakat has a fondness for these tall tales.
Your holding Isreal to a higher standard is a peculiar view. I wonder what standard you hold for those who purposely target civilians at Passover, et al. When do you think people who pervert religion and thus murder rise to any respectable standard?
element mistakes the buildings that were leveled with the 10% of the inhabitants who foolishly remained in a battle area. He also confused about whose land it is.
