Isreal is ignoring UN relolutions, just like Iraq time.  Guess the US and Britain should invade.  

Which ones? And DO remember that there is a difference between general assembly resolutions and security counsel resolutions.

You may answer now.

The situation now is that the West Bank and Gaza are full of Palestinians who are being driven off their land, denied basic human rights, adequate water, access to medical care etc, in order to make room for Israeli settlers who wish to move in to the area at the expense of the indigenous population.

Almost every country in the world is largely inhabited by an ethnic group who invaded and ethnically cleansed the previous population. It's not right by todays standards, but trying to change things back to the way things were hundreds of years ago would be worse. That doesn't mean it's right to carry on invading and ethnically cleansing countries.

Dont worry, the Pals can always attempt to get reparations in a couple of hundred years.

here's a list of un security council resolutions on the middle east,

or if you don't like the source(icky moslems), you can search the jewish virtual library:

1979, resolution 452 seems applicable as isreal is still building settlements in arab territories. if you don't think so then how about a grown up argument as to why...

The Palestinian charter states that the destruction of Isreal is a palestinian goal . Untill this mindset is extinct negotiations are pointless .

Here's an interesting tidbit, some TV show I think Frontline did a survey in egypt, the results of which were that 80% believed that Jews were responsible for the 9/11 attack .

Hortlund, do a quick google search on Israel and Security Council Resolutions...you might just be surprised...there's been many since 1967, *demanding* Israel to pull back to the pre-67 borders...but hey...who cares...as long as we get to nuke Iraq.

"UK=Northern Ireland"


Nice try, but there's 3 factions in NI: People who want a indenpendent NI, people who want to join the Irish Republic and people who want to stay in the UK.

Refugee camps looks more like a ghettoes than concentration camps to me.
