UN appoints war crime team for Gaza

Sending in the UN with their "no first shot" idiocy would be tantamount to suicide for the peacekeeping force, anyway.

Probably so. But they did nothing on the diplomatic front either. No speech. No meeting. No note. No investigator. No finger wagging. Nothing at all.

I don't really know what they could have done. Palestine is not a member state of the UN.

Google it. Israel filed a formal complaint about the escalating rocket attacks with the UN in late 2008. The UN did nothing.

I did google it and found no such thing thats why I asked you to back up what you claimed
You also miss the point. Although asked by Israel, the "peacekeeping" UN did absolutely nothing to avert this war.

In fact Israel refuses to allow UN peacekeepers entry, something that has been requested repeatedly by the Palestinian leader
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas made his request for armed support while addressing the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday, Feb. 4.



"The time has come for the international community to bear its legal, political and moral responsibilities and provide ... adequate international protection," Abbas said. "I would like to stress again our request to send international forces in order to protect our people."

To put things in the perspective around 20 people have died during the last years from the rockets launched from Palestine. Over thousand people have died from Israel intervention into Gaza. Also Israel had a blockade against Gaza that didn't just stop guns but also food and medicine. Of course the rockets against Israel was bad, but can be good to put things in perspective.

Proportionality is the most idiotic argument I have ever heard for defending terrorist. No one fights a war and says alright we have to kill as many of their men as they killed of ours and then we stop fighting,turn around and go home. Wars are fought to defeat the enemy by any means necessary.

If the Mexican or Canadian government willfully allowed people to launch rockets at our civilian areas and our politicians waited as long as the Israelis did to retaliate against that country that attacked us someone would either be lynched and or out of a job. As far as I know Israel is the only one who drops notices to the enemy where and when they are going to attack, which is the most idiotic thing ever. You don't tell the enemy where and when you are going to hit them at. If civilians are dumb enough to elect terrorist to office and dumb enough to let terrorist launch attacks from the places they live then they deserve to be hit. Its like willfully standing in front of someone while he he uses you as a shield and your complaining that the guy he is hitting is hitting you.

Are the crimes that took place in Gaza needs to achieve?
Or is it more than 1400 Palestinians have been killed for no reason?

U.S. policy unfair

Palestinians died because Hamas instigated an armed conflict with Israel.

DO NOT attempt to deny Hamas' responsibility for that bloodshed.

Shame on you.
 
The fact they where elected democratically disturbs me more then the idea of them seizing power. Then again every country which imposes Shariah law is far from a democracy.

Democracy can be just as evil and tyrannical as a dictatorship.
 
Tashah said:
I wonder if the UN has also sent a fact-finding mission to Afghanistan? Iraq? Sudan? Congo? Chechnya? Sri Lanka?

Nah.

Don't worry Tashah, the jury will consist of representatives from the Congo.

Most democracies have been established on the premise of preserving justice and liberty. Many have not. We'll see how Afghanistan, in which their constitution supplants human rights to sharia law, develops in the future.

Chavez was democratically elected and so was Hitler.
