Hello:

Here's a latest picture of destruction of property by Israel:

Who cares?

The Amnesty International said in a statement last year: "The repeated practice by the Israeli army of deliberate and wanton destruction of homes and civilian property is a grave violation of international human rights and humanitarian law, notably of Articles 33 and 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and constitutes a war crime,"

In the past three years the Israeli army has destroyed more than 4,000 Palestinian homes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as vast areas of cultivated land (uprooting for example centenary old olive trees), hundreds of factories and other commercial properties, roads and public buildings.

Now Koffi Annan where are you? Why are you hiding and not taking up a position? Why aren't we seeing UN passing resolutions with dire warnings to Israel? Is UN a tool to protect Israeli crimes?

:confused:

Hello raison:

In fact there are many other violations by Israel. For a good read on 4th Geneva Convention, which Israel isn't signatory, check the following link:

Israel it seems is above the Law, and has a protector USA, the biggest power on earth at this moment.

They can do whatever they want and nobody can stop them. In fact Israel is rewarded and given even more dangerous weapons and bombs like the recent dam busters and smart bombs being offered by USA, paid by American tax-payers. It's a war by proxy, if America can't do it Israel will do it. What's on the plan? Iran, Pakistan?

Which precisely what my former PM Dr Mahathir said at the last OIC here about Israel having others fight their war for them by proxy. The first time any head of state ever said so. He, Dr. Mahathir was supposedly 'reprimanded' by Bush for making that statement and there was hue and cry from Israel and its supporters.
