I suggest disarming all parties and giving them plastic Sainsburys sporks with which to battle each other, my pasta salad seemed pretty resistant to the spork so I imagine they would be much less devastating to the general populous than artillery.

it is extremely unsettling kelpie.
i can't understand why they still haven't called for an immediate ceasefire. 1200 civilians killed.

Nutter-yahoo has been beating that drum since the start of this conflict. Talking about the moral acceptibility of the bombing of Dresden. "You British did this in WWII" "You British did that in WWII".

they would do, the implication from netanhayu was more on the honesty, fairness, equality, enlightnment tip in the interview I watched, which was what got my goat. Also his continual comparison between Isreali bombing of Lebanon and British bombing of Germany during WWII pissed me off somewhat too - that it was so easy for him to take two contextualy very different situations at their most simple reading and use it as justification for innocent deaths. "You guys are just like us, not like them, support us, not them" very unsettling I found it.

I think they refer to 'western values' in the broaded sense, ostensibly meaning proportional representationl, the seperation of church, state and the law, etc

its makes me more angry that those are the words of a regime which is supposedly upholding "western values: in the area, an "outpost" as Benjamin Netanyahu described them on TV the other day. Who's values are those again? not mine.

wankers on both sides, no doubts.
Why we (US and UK predominantly) take sides is entirely beyond me though, surely to have any form of credibility we should act in the same manner toward all parties involved and not strive to find ways of finding one of them better than the other.

i guess hateful religious extremism exist on both sides:
http://www.irishantiwar.org/bboa…
"The rabbi, Dov Lior, argued that non-Jewish lives had no sanctity... a thousand non-Jewish lives are not worth a Jew's fingernail."
http://www.telrumeidaproject.org…
"the IDF is allowed to hurt an ostensibly innocent civilian population."
He also maintains that "there is no reason to feel guilty because of the morality of infidels."

Hassan Nasrallah sounds horrible. So do some democratically elected leaders.
"..the U.S. House of Representatives voted 361-37 to cut off aid to non-government organizations that run a lifeline to occupied Palestine... "The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet," joked Dov Weisglass, an adviser to the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert.
