According to the other thread the US even sponsered the damn thing..what a shame!!...did the UN ever demand Arafat to crack down on terrorist or pass anything denoucing the suicide bombings?(I'm asking I don't know)

The terrorists must be stopped, but do you think that Israel can be left to continue without restraint? Do you think Israel is without partial blame? If so, then you need to consult the UN map of the Palestiaian terrirories to see how extensive the Israeli occupation has been.

The terrorists must be stopped and Israel has the right to defend itself, but once the violence is contained, the ball will be in Israel's count to negotiate and then pull out of the occupied territories.

If the terrorism doesn't stop, then to hell with the Palis.

Obviously negotiations and comprises must be made for issues such as security, but in my opinion I have to say is "WHAT THE HELL IS ISREALI PUTTING ALL OF THESE SETTLEMENTS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PALESTINE TERRITORY"? Are they asking for it or what?

The resolution demands implementation "without delay" of the council's resolution 1402, adopted last Saturday. It called for a "meaningful cease-fire" and Israeli troop withdrawal from Palestinian cities, including Ramallah where Palestinian President Yasser Arafat is surrounded by Israeli tanks and troops.

Last Saturday. Then what happened? Israel went to war. And the US said it was justified. These resolutions are getting comical. Kind of like New Year's resolutions. :)
