Israel urges world: Reject Goldstone report on Gaza

We made a mistake. Once we started killing we should have continued till unconditional peace was signed. It really does work, check Belgrade...

STOP ! STOP ! the World dont by your claims anymore. Those who died were Palestinan civilians, by thousand !!! Only few Israelies were wounded..Silence , please !

B. Gold, If Israel was a real democratic state it wouldn't be occupying another peoples' land. In addition, Israel's call to protect its citizens is full of falshoods. Those Israelis living beyond the 1947 partition line and GL are not legally citizens of Israel as they are living on occupied Pale- stinian land or ethnic cleansed Palestinian land which is a war crime. (Sderot was such a place.) In addition, a state cannot claim self defense of a land it doesn't own the land. That distinction is reserved for the occupied. You should get that legal angles straight and stop repeating broad generalities which are baseless in legality. Stick to the law or recall who it was had to take a donkey ride, boat ride or plane flight to arrive in Palestine in 1948. (Hint,it wasn't the indigenous people) Dutch

The world embraces the law and rejects israel's disregard of it.

What a sorry, disjointed and spurious argument. You prove to everyone that Israel doe not have any more acceptable excuses as to why it is no longer considered a humane state; now it is just plain ROGUE!

Israel represents a country of violent cry-babies with double standards. The Goldstone Report creates an environment conducive for terror? I thought that was Israel's job...

Eitan said: "Thus, if you want peace, discard the report. But if you want the conflict to go on and on, by all means go ahead and use it" You have it exactly backwards, Eitan, and something tells me you know it. Discarding the report will allow the conflict to go on indefinitely because that is what Israel wants. And slow ethnic cleansing must continue for the Greater Israel Project to reach fruition. The Goldstone Report will NOT go away, and denial will solve nothing!

"...to allow this report to go any further will force Israel to refuse to take any additional risky steps towards an accommodation of peaceful coexistence with its Arab neighbors.." Now, exactly which risky steps would that be? Continued occupation, more settlements, more humiliattions, more walls, more wars, more massacres, more white phosphorous? Do you guys have ANY notion about the impact your behaviour and your politicians have on the rest of the world? Better face it now than later - the tide is turning.

The deliberation on the one sided report is a joke as it will not serve any cause for Palestinians in the future and all of us know what is the outcome of this as most of the participants are muslim countries. what is neede from muslims and Arabs is an opennes to Israel and not the same old tactics that we had seen for years.

If Israel held trials for all the PA and Israeli that did crimes against humanity, and executed the guilty, it would prevent crimes against jews worldwide.

I don't see how Israel has tied the peace talks with the war crimes it committed in Gaza. no relation at all.

Israel is a sovereign and democratic state with an obligation, and not just a right, to defend its citizens from armed aggression. Gaza has for years been used by Hamas and other groups as a base for rocket strikes on Israeli centres of population. There have been thousands of such attacks, putting hundreds of thousands of Israeli civilians at risk. These are, as Human Rights Watch has put it, unlawful and unjustifiable, and they amount to war crimes. To understand what it means to live under rockets threat consult : http://xrl.us/bfq9oi

The building of settlements isn't tied into the fight against terrorism. Its a response to a long list of things including the fact that one of the principles in negotiations is a land swap which includes a right of way of Israeli land to be used to connect Gaza and the WB. More importantly, it is a response to the historic presence of Jews in those areas of the WB, the abandonment, not transfer but abandonment, by Jordan of that territory, the unprovked attacked on Israel by Jordan, Pals and other criminal nations in 1967, their refusal to recognize Israel and negotiate a peace settlement, the blood Israel had to sacrifice in defending its Nation, etc., etc. What's the deal. Israel is attacked and the criminal nations simply get their land back, willy nilly? There has to be some detterence, something to lose, in attacking others without provokation. With terrorism, we simply have more of the same, except the focus is on killing, maiming and terrorizing Israeli civilians.

Ehud Barak claimed on Goldstone report: "false, distorted and promotes terror." So the UN is now officially involved in promoting terror, that's Israel's formal response? I guess we might be missing something here? Shouldn't Barak have stated that is was a anti-Semitic terror promoting report? Or is the usual Israeli claim of anti-Semitism only applied when non-Jews file negative reports about Israel?

What a proposterous load of nonsense. You admit that Hamas was guilty of terror. And its indisputable that Israel's response was just that, a response which followed years of rockets. If there is reliable evidence that any Israeli targeted civilians, knowing that they were civilians, as opposed to targeted Hamas and in the process killing civilians, then sure, the Israeli authorities have an obligation under Israeli law to investigate and prosecute. There does not appear to a shred, a scintilla of this sort of evidence but I'm not in the know. What does seem clear is that after Hamas committed crimes against humanity by rocketing civilian areas, it then perpetrated numerous more crimes against humanity through the use of human shields and, storing its weapons and fighters in civilian areas & attacking Israelies from those areas. You should be ashamed of yourself. You are more than a blood member of a tribe or religious group. First and foremost you are a human being. Act like one.

Time is coming where Israel and it's leaders will be brought to justice for their horrible war crimes perpetrated in Gaza, among others. I cannot beleive how twisted some israelis can be in regard to these atrocities regularly committed against the palestinians.

....that as long as they keep on occuyping another peoples land against the will of the whole international community, the words "terror" and "self-defense" coming from Israel will not be accepted in the same way by the rest of the world, as they would be otherwise. Ehud Barak could have saved the money for those phone calls, most governements in Europe simply won't buy it anymore....

Barak, Netanyahu and Lieberman are always trying to restate reality so that Israel appears to have taken the high moral ground. \ The Goldstone report is reality. Anyone who has been in the West Bank or Gaza know the reality. YouTube videos clearly show the reality. Israel is the aggressor; uses powerful weaponry; punishes large communities for illegal acts of individuals and has usurped Jewish values when it comes to Palestinians.

looks pretty boring...

Israeli civilians did in fact testify to the Goldstone "team." ALL their testimonies were deleted from the report. IN FACT Commissioner Pillay, UNHRC High Commissioner ADMITTED in her preface presenting the report that all Israeli civilian testimony was removed because it "detracted from the purpose and intention of the report!" Go the UNHRC web site and read her comments before you post your usual, but highly expected, islamobrit Antisemitic drivel!

You know as well as I, that IF, and this is a VERY BIG IF, anyone even tried to wipe Israel off the map, they would be in for a world of hurt from the USA, regardless of political climate. I do not agree with the way my government supports yours, the actions your government takes, the way you treat the Palestinians, the never ending occupation, the settlements and the spitting in the face of my president, and most of all I do not support the financial and military aid my nation VERY GENEROUSLY gives to yours. But that does not mean I would support your annihilation either. So get off your little pity seeking trip. You know we'll be here if you TRULY need us. It's the reason we want your boot off the Palestinian neck- we feel the same way towards them. They have the same rights to a life of freedom as you. So get off it already.

kill innocent people, women and children, without paying the price. Israel is now paying the price and it will have to live with such an ugly label from here on end, regardless, of how the U.N. and/or the U.S. vote on the Goldstone Report. From here on end Israel will be recognized as a nation that committed war crimes and even crimes against humanity. There is no getting around that. What a shame for Israel to end up in this situation. But then, Israel has been getting away with murder, literally, but no more. Lots of people now will think that the labels of "war crimes or crimes against humanity" which are now part of Israel history and are well deserved!

They are imprisoned because they like it there, starved because they're on a diet, and it is their fault that we kill them and rip them off. Trust us!

Then, it should ring true whenever it is present. I.e. whenever one boycotts something it loses its right to bring the argument forward in future. Otherwise it risks being a superficial, subjective law, which is not a law and shouldn't be followed on a subjective basis. I.e. when Israel boycotts the "Durban" Conferences, it loses its right to have say what happens and must accept the resolutions. I beg you to accept that argument and see past the flaws WHY? Because I will then retort that Palestinian/Arab boycott of the 1947-8 Partition plan is evidence of Palestinian choice to not have a state and therefore this conflict is null and void, as like you said, since they boycotted it they lose the right to bring the issue of contention to light in the future. In which case, the whole issue of Gaza is irelevant as Gazans are trespassing the land they forclosed on by boycotting the process. Oh Short Sighted Manny, how I wish the world worked like your idiotic posts.

No chris you are right is not like goldstone mAndate from the onset was biased or that the Pakistani cojurist voiced an opinion prior to the commission which shows her bias. She said israel was not allowed to defend itself as she viewed it as the occupying power to gaza even though gaza is not occupied becuase of the siege which she termed gavethem defacto control which is false as it doesn't exam Egypt role and how without Egypt the siege is futile and that even if israel sieges gaza to ensure weapons don't get in as is a fair right considering gazans actions but you are rightshort sighted chris the same then could be said about palstinian boycott to partition plan and that sayin it chose against stathood and as such doesn't deserve to be heard for it's cries of self determination

Self righteous fools, get off your high horses. You cite the World day in day out, believing you have something special that elevates you from the Human condition of Corruption and Greed. Try those who deliberately murdered in cold blood. Lock them up, hang them. I couldn't care less for them. But Please don't come here as an American or British or Russian or Somalian or Sri Lankan or Russian or Chinese or Bangladeshi or Sudanese or Pakistani or Afghan etc...and tell us that your country hasn't been responsible for the murder, rape and humiliation of Millions of ordinary good people. That's just plain Hypocricy.I know exactly where this is going, you're building up to an acceptance that all the World's terrorism is down to the Israeli Occupation and that good Bigots is pure fabrication and a lie.

To believe that the moon is made of green cheese.... Perhaps the leaders of the 'democratic' nations need to realize the jig is up? Most of the people on the planet are able to see EXACTLY what this so-called 'democracy' game is. The report is factual. No amount of bluster, shouting, name-calling, or excuse making is going to change that. And Barak tells the world: Believe Israel, not your lying eyes! Do you realize how damaging this is to yourselves? You have lost friends you never knew you had. You only have yourselves to blame. Simply because you can convince yourselves that what you did is OK, does not make it so. And you will not be able to convince others that 'Cast Lead' was OK, as has been done so easily in the past.

To say that Israel commited war-crimes,deliberatly,is unjust,as the whole act of war,is a crime!,Israel"s actions against Gazza,were in response to the actions of the Governing Party of Gazza against Israel,these actions demanded a response,which was the desire of Hamas,they knowing that any actions taken,would result in Population Casualties.Civilians today are as important as any Arms that a army may posess,Propoganda!is vital.I would like to add a comment regaring the Temple Mount,The Dome of the Rock & The AL-aqsa Mosque"s,Hold the Prominet view,But Solomons Temple,is the Foundation.and so the Temple still exists.so Israel is within its rights to excavate,but that this should be always done withthe co-operation of The Palastinians. Kevin J Lee.

I could have sworn Israel was born from terrorism...Irgun, Hagganah and Sterngang -lehi. Is Israel saying there case is different?

Like it or not, Israel created some of the conditions that created this situation. Goldstone has stated that it was just a fact finding mission and not an indictment. Israel didn't participate. I perused the report. So anyway, here's reality. When the video of Shalit got released, it revealed that Hamas was a much slicker organization than believed heretofore. During all that bombardment, Shalit was evidently protected somehow. When in the past before the present arrangements with the PA were in place, IDF soldiers caught by the Palestinians in certain quarters were at times lynched. So inspite of the of the at least hundreds of civilian casualties, Hamas protected him. That's mud in our eye. Hamas was elected (So was Hitler but anyway). Abbas has been installed. In the report, two things stuck out; the Chicken Coops and some civilians stuck with IDF. Animal rights predates rights for children in history. Did you guys know that? Israel should talk to Hamas before Obama does. Yosemite!

"Israel must not be treated as if above the law" That right is only the Muslims right.In Darfur, and Kashmir.In somalia,and Iran.In Beirut and Gaza.Muslims are comitting crimes against humanity,and war crimes everyday,and never judged for that,and i guess never will. Crime is a crime.A genocid,even partial and incomplete,doesn't become Halal when committed by Muslims.

Mr. Barak need to understand that the UN Human Rights Council is in fact strengthening the war on terror. Terror comes in many forms including state sponsored illegal wars against helpless civilians. Is the pressing of a button to release a 2 ton bomb from an F16 any different than pressing a rudimentary switch on a suicide belt? Isn't starving millions of men, women and children a form of terror? The occupation itself is the epitomy of terror including land confiscation, home demolitions, imprisonment, economic starvation and human degradation. Mr. Barak needs to hide under the very first rock he can find.

Israel has been systematically and deliberately violating international law, not to mention standards of decency. Israel has been ignoring the UN resolutins and pleas. And now it is whining because of a report that criticizes its behavior. So maybe this is a good time for some quid pro quo: The UN will disregard Goldstone report in exchange for the total freeze on the settlement expansion and starting negotiations with all Palestinina parties - the Hamas included.

Last I checked the occupation was still going strong. 40+ years and the Israel public has chosen not to do anything about it but build more settlements.

What's wrong with you..it's a report and you write with grandiose terms. What are you afraid of? annihilate, demonize, delegitmize..ugh? The IDF and the government has to take responsibility for what it did in Gaza. I'm not one to judge; but the judging and adjudication is beginning at the UN in Geneva and NY. Eitan, why don't you join the two-state peace effort?

"... to expect of it standards not expected of any other country in a similar situation." Goldstone alleges that Israel broke international laws. The whole point of international laws is that ALL countries are expected to obey them. Stop whining about Israel being made a victim again and again. We've all heard that dirge so often before that now it is just irritating.

He wants to save his skin because he is one to be tried at ICC. By the way the man is the first PM to use F-16 to attach Palestinian civilians.

Many people all over the world agree with your comment.

Eitan wrote: "Thus, if you want peace, discard the report." By "peace" I assume Eitan means: impunity for Israeli war crimes; unrestricted settlement building and further erosion of the occupied Palestinian Territories; apartheid style law enforcement in the oPT with separate procedures, courts and punishment for settlers and Palestinians A very strange definition of "peace".

But pitching his speech to Israeli ears, since it is very improbable that experienced diplomats are going to be taken in by the kind of hype ( that the Goldstone report is "false, distorted and promotes terror," ), which is tantamount to calling judge Goldstone a fith columnist for Hamas.

One of the examples that the report details as a crime is the systematic destruction of farmland and killing of livestock with no other reason behind it other than collective punishment. Huge farm fields that were almost ready to harvest were destroyed by bulldozers for no reason. That is a crime against humanity. Using phosphorous bombs on civilian areas is barbaric, cruel and disgusting. How can people live in such a country?

People in the Middle East and especially the Palestinian people have a right to raise their children in peace and attend to their fields and ordinary lives without the violent existence of Israel. It's high time for the world to revisit what a failure the creation of the state has been and how it has violated its neighbors sovereign rights and human rights and international law and most of the in-ternational covenants. This can never be right or indeed excused anymore.It's high time to address how unjust the partition of Palestine has been a disaster for the Palestinian people and the region. Not to mention how Israeli leaders have manipulated the essence of the world's goodwill to promote their own tribe and use their peoples' blood to continue their insane greed for land. It has all become so morally corrupt and to continue to promote it is evil. Dutch http://www.redress.cc/palestine/hlowi20071019

Wrong Mr. Barak it will not cripple the fight against terrorism by other nations. Other countries escape investigations for their alleged fight against terrorism, I.E Britain, USA, Sri Lanka, Russia. Non have been investigated for war Crimes. Non have Mr. Goldstone, the concerned humanitarian, launch investigations. So you see Mr. Barak its only when those jews of Israel fight terrorism are they investigated and the whole world gets into a tizzy. Its only when Israel is at the center all of sudden we see these enlightened moralistic souls on this forum calling for war crimes investigations and so forth. Yet these same armchair commandos are silent when USA, Britain or Russia commit war crimes.

I think the talkbacks on this site tell how much people will buy any old story that is told to them. Any rational and logical person who reads Goldstone's report can conclude that it is incomplete. There is not enough information in it to justifiably accuse Israel of anything. I can make up any old stories, tell them to the UN and they become truth. The world is becoming a dangerous place, where people's respect for the law, and the word of the law, is dimished, people are calling miliary operations "limited genocide" and "human rights" trumps law itself. The Goldstone report, according to people's reactions, gives terror organizations legal immunity. There are no clear cut cases in the report that prove Israel is guilty of war crimes.

Israel has been always ready to give territories to palestinians instead of peace. But until now palestinians never accepted it. In 2005 Israel gave to Palestinisns more than 20 settlements near Gaza. Hamas kept on sending qassams - so tell me what are you talking about? Israel should keep on giving for getting war back? Do you think we are stupid? Land instead of real peace, or nothing. Palestinians do not recognize the right of Israel to exist, they do not fight for the settlements in west bank, they don't care about the west bank, they fight because they want a palestinian state instead of Israel. This will never happen.

Mistreatment, settlements and occupation create the need for RESISTANCE. Only Israel calls it terrorism while Israel, Govt, IDF, settlers.. etc practice terrorism and call it Self Defence and security measures.. what a world we live in...

No wonder he is all up in arms. Meanwhile MK Danon, in the Knesset, tore up the Goldstone UN Report: "I am honored to rip it up page after page". The massacre of hundreds of defenceless trapped children in the Gaza camps should go únpunished they think and even tries to tell/sell the world that this is the way to move forward. There should be no second class victims, there should be culpability for war crimes " and possibly crimes against humanity". Send the echelon and their henchmen to the Hague and let them defend themselves against these charges. Let the parents, that weren't killed along with their children, be present at the trials. This goes for both sides.

Now I know the Palestinians are subjected to a lot of things so I'm not one sided pro Israel but, what is a ccountry suppose to do when rocketeers fire on you from buildings where civilians are at? Of course I'm not on the ground over there but didn't the IAF drop leaflets or is that a lie as well? I just don't get it, if the USA or Iran for that matter was being mortered or bombed by their neighbor, how would they handle it? If I could have these questions answered, I feel I would be more informed about the Report and other situations on the ground.

Maybe Israel should look up the meaning of UN: UNITED NATIONS. And the UNITED NATIONS finally are doing something to stop Israels attempt to turn the facts around. The world wants Israel out of the occupied territories, the world wants a viable Palestinian state, after which Israel like any other country can count again on the support of the world. But right now, Israel fails to see that the root of the problem are the aggressive policies they conduct, leading to a total erasion of support from the world.

Khalid, you repeat the ridiculous charges of genocide with regard to Gaza when nothing of the kind, even remotely occured. Even taking Palestinians at their casualty count, the total deaths in several weeks of fighting is less than a few hours of real genocide in Sudan or Bosnia or any of the places where an actual war against civilians took place. In fact, any other army defending its people in such a situation would have inflicted a far greater civilian toll. Look at the US in Iraq (in the early days) or Russia in Chechnya and you will see what a real disregard for civilians looks like. You mock and diminish the real victims of genocide when you throw the term at every fight between Israel and Palestinians. Of course, the supporters of the Goldstone report understand that it could make any attempt by Israel to fight back into a war crime. How convenient, eh? This can only encourage more terror.

Can you believe that Israeli press allowed for this opinion? It has a free press after all.

and should not be used lightly. If Cast Lead was intended to be a genocide, there would be a million killed. The fact that only a couple of hundred innocents were killed, while your heroic combatants hid and fired from behind their women's skirts and toddlers' T shirts shows the restraint of the IDF. Hamas was warned for years.

...and so seldom do we hear ..."the world diplomats told Israel...". Is it difficult to guess what they'll tell us,... VERY SOON!? Well, they won't ask anymore to "freeze" a few houses ... but much, much more! Because you people, in our extremist government, couldn't see the great advantage TO GIVE IN on that simple request! You are ignorants of the great games of chess or bridge, to learn the advantage of sacrificing apparently important things in order to WIN THE GAME.

Barak is in fact calling for the world to legitimize Israels view that some lives are more valuable than other. Some peoples should not accept being terrorized others should accept just that - being terrorized and murdered.The murderes of one side should be persecuted, killed, maimed and if lucky just jailed. Murderes of the other side...nothing! Barak and his friends are willingly and readily dismissing the rule of law - international law. Anything goes in order to get what he and his like wants. Israel should no longer be counted as nations of law - just as organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. Shame!

which genocide you are talking about? Why are you saying that Israel killed hundreds of children? This is a lie, you well know that it is a lie. Plaestinians in Gaza where the human shield of Hamas my dear, WAKE UP ! Hamas is the responsable of the deads in Gaza. Militants told the people to die with them as martyrs. Hamas is reponsable of the violence against Israel, hamas is the responsable of 8 years of qassams on the South of the country. Hamas is the responsable of the death of the people in Gaza that face wars without shielts. Hamas wanted the war and he got it. Israel is not responsable of any crime. Israel replied to violence and terrorism of hamas with the same violence. I indeed reject Goldstone report it is unfair and incorrect. Terrorism will never win. shalom!

End the occupation of arab lands and only then you can have peace with your neighbours.

I share the feelings; Chris it will be some interesting days ahead. Are we reedy for justice on an inter state level. It would scare the ? out of Pentagon, and the rest. Petri you are right? It seems it is Israel against the world just now, not because they are Jewish, but because they are distorted by living their hole lives in war (it might be something psychological).

Why is he speaking to World's FM ? Because, he would be sent to The Hague for (hopefully) a very very long period of time if the Goldstone is accepted and submitted to the ICJ ... Feeling nervous and isolated in your villa Mr Barak ? Don't worry, Mrs Livni as well as Mr Olmert are likely to come along and stay there too ...

The Goldstone report is "correct, right on spot and promotes Israeli terror.Why not do the test in pinpoint bombing the toilet of an empty barbershop in Tel Aviv with a phosfor grenade and see what happens. The proof of the pudding is in eating it.....

Pure propaganda, pure and simple. Barak is implicated in the report as a war criminal and his travel plans would be curtailed if action is taken against the perpetrators of war crimes. But observe: 1. Nothiing in the report condemns Israel for taking defensive actions against qatyushas being fired into civilian area. 2. Hamas, teremed a terror organisation, is implicated of war crimes in the report, so how does it strengthen terrorism or terror organisations? 3. As with every other report or investigation, Israel refused to cooperate in the report nor did it set up its own investigative body to report on the findings. It just expects the US, EU and their representatives to take Israel's explnation of events as the truth and be done with it. If it does not it threatens and refers to anti-semitism, its exploits the Holocaust or plays on the "war on terror" in order to avoid the issues at hand. This time, hopefully, they will not get away with it.

Barak knows very well how to explain and elucidate, how to present our case to the international community. However, it is a tactical mistake to negate the report completely, as if Israel is 'perfect' and there is no place for improvement. The Gaza War was fully justified, but in the heat of battle Israel went too far in the extent of devastation that was caused. If Barak denies this completely, he is not serving our interests, but justifying external intervention to protect the Gazans from future onslaughts.

if you are innocent then all you have to do is prove your case, of course the problem is you can't because you aren't

in its fight against those eager to annihilate the Jewish state, one stage at a time if not in a one-fell-swoop. Therefore, any attempt to allow this report to go any further will force Israel to refuse to take any additional risky steps towards an accommodation of peaceful coexistence with its Arab neighbors. Thus, if you want peace, discard the report. But if you want the conflict to go on and on, by all means go ahead and use it as one more fictional story, "narrative", to demonize the Jewish state, to delegitimize it, to expect of it standards not expected of any other country in a similar situation.

"adopting the report would give terror organizations around the world an advantage" Israel, not Hamas, is the biggest terror organization in this world. If terror is measured by the magnitude of death and havoc and destruction, who under the sun can compete with Israel over the title? As to Hamas, well, Israel stole their land, destroyed their homes, bulldozed their farms, and then expelled them to the corners of the world. Every human being facing the unbearable conditions that the Palestinians have been facing for over six decades would resort to violence. The American-English poet Auden said: I and the public know, what all school children learn, those to whom evil is done, do evil in return.

Mistreatment, settlements and occupation create the need for terrorism as the only mean of resistance when the occupier doesn't want to seek for a fair solution. The world minus Israel understand that. It would be interesting to hear how Israel links the need to build all the time new settlements to the need to fight against terrorism.

Israel refused to cooperate with the UN investigation and so lost the chance to present their side of the case. This was a wasted opportunity, and now Israel attempts to persuade others to reject the report? Like the diplomatic rift with Turkey, this is another example of poor Israeli diplomacy. Time to improve the diplomatic efforts of Israel?

and if the Goldstone Report is passed, just how does making people accountable for herding 100 people into a house and then blowing it up make it difficult to fight the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan? The Goldstone is not about Israel's right to self defence, the Goldstone Report is about whether Israel broke the laws governing the waging of war. Going to be an interesting couple of days. I see Barak is playing at Foreign Minister again. What exactly does Lieberman do?

Adopting the Goldstone report will give great joy to many innocent people that have been affected by Israel's injustice. Now you will start calling me an anti-semite but who cares !!! the goldstone report will slide & when it does, it will be great! Peace Lover - Israel Basher: The same. P.S. Im a free writer, unlike you Israeli's, paying your own people to win an internet war that you are desperately loosing.

Could it be that respecting Geneva conventions of war would cripple "war on terra"? Barak just proves that the report is right, if he actually beleives that it could cripple "war on terra" but what about wars of agression...........

2 wrong does not make it right. To fight terrorism do we have to become terrorist ourself ??? That what Israel goverment is saying to the world!
