Gah! still harping on that one string lyre.

GET REAL!
That's a BS ""Smoking Gun as a Mushroom Cloud" argument.

Iraq didn't have Weapons of Mass Destruction
AND NEITHER DOES THE HAMAS!!!!!!!

Yeah, that whole "they should learn to live together peacefully" thing can get pretty tedious, I admit. But good luck finding a solution otherwise.

It does, but it's missing the part where Escher supports cold-blooded murder. That would make it perfect.

I doano about YOU, but if OUR country were under
attack & subjugation I'd do exactly what the
"Founding Fathers" did to throw off the Yoke of
Oppression from the OCCUPYING FORCES:

Meet in secret, foment revolution, or as the Dutch
did... throw their sabots (wooden shoes) into the
gears to confound the oppressors at every turn.
Or what the AmIndians did, die on their feet rather
than bow under the lash in humiliation, yep, and lob
home-made rockets over the fences the enemy erects
as a statement of defiance, if not a show of force.

I thought you and I were agreed that all suspected war criminals should be put on trial? That's got to help.

Yes but first things first -- tough to put people on trial when you physically can't get to them. There's a reason most war crimes trials have happened post-conflict.

I'm all for it it you can a) get an indictment and b) actually get the accused to a court. But I don't really expect that to happen when the Israelis obviously only pay attention to international law when it's convenient for them ... and I really don't know how an international court would take possession of a Palestinian defendant -- I doubt Hamas or any other group would voluntarily turn anybody over ...

Last I checked most of the engagements of the Revolution were of combatant units vs. combatant units ... the difference here, obviously, are that there's a LOT of civilian casualties as "collateral" damage if not outright targeting of civilian populations as a means of terror campaigns ...

I could be wrong, though, and war foments atrocities regardless of era -- I'm sure savagery against civilians is not unique to the modern era ...

And yeah the genocidal actions against the American Indians were insupportable. Still doesn't justify those of today against different persons, though ...

Mixed News From Both Sides

...just to give you a feel to
the opposing points of view.

What makes you think those are views opposing my own?

I don't
I meant opposing PoV to each other.

Reading AlJeezera AND The Debka File
reads like a real 'He Said'/'She Said'
when it comes down to points of view.

Reading a History Book & The Jewish
Virtual Library's accounts are more so.
