Too bad the UN isn't as aggressive against their own atrocities in Africa and Iraq!
Pray for W and Our Troops
Shalom Israel

The UN is nothing but a worthless financial drain on the US. They should pack up and leave. I'm sure the French or Russkies would take them. Just today they passed a unanimous resolution against North Korea. Within 45 minutes North Korea responded with the middle finger. It will probably take another 11 days before the UN figures out that they have been dissed. Pathetic.

I'm going to say this quietly, but inwardly I am shouting it at the top of my lungs in a purple rage: when your adversaries knowingly and intentionally plot their attacks from within civilian populations because they realize 1) That they wouldn't have a chance if they stood apart from the women and children, and 2) That the death of noncombatants is a key part of their strategy, then they forfeit all rights as soldiers and become, instead, terrorists. Terrorists willingly endanger civilians by hiding among civilians and risking their lives as a point of strategy; soldiers try to steer clear of helpless people running for cover. This distinction must be articulated as the first and central point of argument; Hezbollah got those people killed, not Israel.

This just in! The American invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, was also a blatant violation of international law!

The people reporting this news think it is great to kill convicts for their organs and harvest them. They also help North Korea with returning people who have escaped from North Korea by putting wires in the bodies of these people who have escaped so the North Koreans can torture the people on the way back to North Korea by pulling on the wires.
I will not elaborate more - but it is the People's Republic of China that is complaining that this is a violation of International Law - the same people who will execute their own citizens for owning a Bible.
How does one spell Hypocrite anyway?

"...UN Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland told a press conference."
Hey, Jan, just STFU you worthless vomit-inducing snivelling weasel. Where were you when Israeli civilians endured thousands of terror bombings and rocket attacks (still ongoing)???? Why don't you volunteer to be a human shield for Hezbollah and leave the war-fighting decisions to the grown-ups?

To: wingsof liberty
Take the number of reported civilian casualties and subtract 20% to account for real, regrettable civilian casualties. The number you are left with is probably close to the number of terrorists killed. It is quite clear to me that the media is reporting Hezbollah casualties as civilian casualties.

Hey, UN, STFU! You have had NO problem with years of Pali shelling of Israeli civilians. Go back under your damp rock.
To: Steely Tom
Yes, the killing of civilians by suicide bombers is probably against international law too. I say probably because the socialist run, muzzie ridden UN never seemed concerned when the civilians were Israelis.

"The law is simple. Civilians must be shielded. Civilians are protected persons. Civilian infrastructure is protected," UN Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland told a press conference. Hey, Jan - did you denounce Hizbollah firing rockets into Israel?
Plus, I thought the UN charter allowed for countries to defend themselves from offensive actions.
