How could you tell? I thought those folks were at anger volume 11 all the time.
Moral relativism has a downside. Who knew.
A career UN bureaucrat is as useless as a milk bucket under a bull.
LOL! THAT is funny. Good one!
"They (the UN 'peacekeepers') always boogie at the first hint of trouble."
Unless they can be human shields for terrorists.
I spell relief as... N A P A L M
Nothing smells better than burning napalm in the morning!
"People were enraged collectively in Lebanon, everybody against the Israeli indiscriminate onslaught,"
To talk of an indiscriminate onslaught (only 1% of Beirut was touched) is a blood libel against the Jewish people. But then Egeland is a Norwegian and we've all seen what Norwegians have been up to in recent weeks - publishing cartoons in prominent newspapers which compare Olmert to SS officers, calling for the destruction of Israel, openly siding with Hezbollah.
The Quisling nation has not altered a jot since the vast majority of citizens collaborated with the Nazis to murder half of Norway's Jewish citizens. It really is a vile country.
Don't make the Muzzies angry, they might do something like, uh, crazy.
"They blame suicide bombing on "desperation of occupation". Let me tell you the truth. The first major terror bombing committed by Arabs against the Jewish state occurred ten weeks before Israel even became independent.
On Sunday morning, February 22, 1948, in anticipation of Israel's independence, a triple truck bomb was detonated by Arab terrorists on Ben Yehuda Street, in what was then the Jewish section of Jerusalem. Fifty-four people were killed, and hundreds were wounded. Thus, it is obvious that Arab terrorism is caused not by the "desperation" of "occupation", but by the VERY THOUGHT of a Jewish state."

President of the World Maronite Union, Sami El-Khoury, said reports on Christian support for Hezbollah is misleading. “Contrary to Western press reports, indicating high percentages of Christian support for Hezbollah, 90 percent of Christians, 80 percent of Sunni and 40 percent of Shiites in Lebanon oppose Hezbollah,” he said.
“Hezbollah is the issue,” said the Rev. Dr. Keith Roderick, Washington representative of CSI and secretary general of the Coalition for the Defense of Human Rights. “A misrepresentation of the position of most Lebanese Christians is underway.”

Egeland needs to find another line of work. He is stupid enough to be be proud of admitted failure.
Ah, yes, Jan Egeland - what was his nickname again? Stinge-Bob?
Drawing a nice UN paycheck.
I have been involved and observed UN operations since 1965. You want anger? You should have been in the Middle East following the Six Day War of 1967. Oh, and let's see, there was the anger following the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Oh, that's right. There was the anger following Operation Desert Storm. And, finally, there was the anger following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The truth is the Muslim world is just one angry place. While they hate us, they leave some room to hate their governments and then themselves. By the way England was involved in Southern Sudan during the years when hundreds of thousands of Southern Sudanese were killed or allowed to starve to death. What Israel is doing to Lebanon is child's play compared to recent Muslim depredations in Southern Sudan and Darfur.
hyperbole
Mideast is Virginia/Maryland. This other usage must be Euro-speak.
And who, exactly, is doing all this 'polarizing'? I'd day it's the radical Muslims brainwashing the younger generation in the victim politics they've been dishing out since the 1920's.
