Judging from your address, I assume you're British. And I assume you are aware of your nation's history. Back in 1945, British and American warplanes struck Dresden, and in one night, killed 100,000 men, women and children (wasn't even a military target). I don't know about you, but I was around at the time. The allies (well supported by their populations) said it was necessary to put an end to the war by utterly defeating the enemy. And thank the good Lord it was done, or you'd be speaking German now. Anyway, it really doesn't matter what language you speak now, for in another 20 years or so, most of Europe will be speaking Arabic, with the attitude they have now. By the way, just this "little bombing raid" killed way more people than all of the killed (both sides) in all of the wars between Israel and the Arabs in the past 58 years.

because I would have thrown it up by now. the UN is nauseating. What about war crimes for Hezbollah? Oh yeah, i forgot- the UN wants to see the destruction of Israel....

Hizbullah rained down hundreds of rockets on Israeli population centers. Yet, Jew-haters are attempting to blame the Jewish victims instead of the Islamic terrorist aggressor! Israel has sustained hundreds of wounded civilians from the terrorist attacks from Lebanon. Ambassador Dan Gillerman stated before the UN Security Council: "...Many of the long-range missiles that have hit Israeli towns - including Nahariya, Zefat, Rosh Pina and the port city of Haifa - were launched from private homes with families residing inside, where a special room was designated as a launching pad, with the family playing host to the missile. This is yet another example of the cynical and brutal way the Hizbullah organization uses civilians as human shields, with complete disregard for human life..." Caroline Glick relates how Lebanese radio responded to the war against Israel: How I spent my summer vacation Caroline Glick, THE JERUSALEM POST July 17, 2006 "... All day Thursday Lebanese radio stations played military marches. Announcers made repeated statements invoking Allah, Lebanon, mujahadin and jihad. Clearly, they were thrilled that the long anticipated war had begun..."

The reaction by the EU and UN to Arab suicide bombing is simply to yawn.

The Genevan Convention also forbids military in a state of war to hide among civilians endangering with this the lives of these same civilians. This is exactly what Hizbullah is doing. It's by the way symptomatic for all islamic fundamentalist organizations.

Who is this Lady? EU's Human Rights Commissioner. On who's behalf? Just because IDF's soldiers are soldiers and fight back and "put out of service" lots of Hezbolla's "fighters"(?) that claim they are are civilians (with weapons) that only have the guts (?) to fire on Israeli civilians? IDF I wish you well. Finish the "job" you should have been allowed to do six years ago!

Same commission headed by Sudan, that has committed genocidal attacks on Blacks with no UN intervention or complaint; same commissin headed by Syria committing genocidal attacks;and headquartered in Switzerland, the country that went out of its way to assist nazis fleeing justice after the Shoah - how telling!

As a Canadian, I am ashamed to see Louise Arbour, formerly one of our best and brightest Jurists come down so one sided on this issue. Israel was attacked unprovoked, rockets fired on its civillian population off and on for 6 years. Not once has the UN human rights commission threatened charges. But when Israel responds, there is an immidiate threat of international charges? Ms. Arbour, you have failed to resist the politicization of your court. You should resign and perhaps return to a post that does not require you to pander to islamist politicization.

I would give the United Nations one week to pack up and prepare to move their headquarters out of the US. Then I would clean out whoever remains, maybe put tanks outside to send the message....then sell the building to real estate speculators. The UN should be turned into offices, apartments, or condos. Then I would withdraw the US from the UN and pursue an EEEEEVIL unilateral foreign policy that unabashedly supports Israel. But then again, if I were president, we would have already called up the draft, invaded Iran AND Syria, and we would be even more hated throughout the world than we are now. Hated.............but also feared. The UN is an anti-American and anti-Israeli organization that sees as its primary goal, to do everything within its power to limit the ability of the US and Israel to defend themselves against Islamic and Communist terrorists. Oh well, they threaten and threaten.......just to make themselves look good in the eyes of the Muslims. But I can't really see a UN force trying to arrest a bunch of IDF soldiers. I mean c'mon, what the hell are those panzy little things that they ride around in. They look like armored cars with a BB gun on a turrett on top of them...........ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo scary. I say bring it on, ya bunch of blue helmet wearing bedwetters. It's almost as if they're offended by the intimidating shapes of real armored vehicles, so they put the weakest weapons on them they can with the softest coloring possible, turning light armor into a military pussymobile. Man I hate the UN.

This incompetent bigot from the UN and others who think like her has made it impossible for democracies to defeat terrorism. Terrorists, by their very nature, target civilians with suicide bombings of malls, restaurants, buses, trains etc. They also indiscriminately fire rockets at civilian areas from Terrorist supported towns and cities. So when there is a response from the armed forces at terrorist launching pads in terrorist cities, the leftist misfits and bigots criticize and threaten not the terrorists who blew the civilian bus up, not the terrorists who who illegally operate from civilian areas, but the soldiers and airmen who are trying to capture or kill the terrorists. These anti-American and anti-Israel UN officials never threaten war crimes trials against Islamic terrorists; it is always a threat to Americans or Israelis. Then, of course, they deny that they are biased and always lie about their motivations. In order to win a war, the object is to destroy the enemy, not to worry about civilian damage. This is not to say that civilians should be targeted but in war, many soldiers die of friendly fire because the battlefield often is confused and soldiers have to react sometimes without thinking. What would Ms. UN say about Churchill, Truman, and Roosevelt for the obliteration of Dresden, the firebombing and atomic bombing of Japanese cities, and the French civilains who were killed during the Normandy operation bu Allied military operations? Would she have threatened Allied leaders with crimes against humanity? She would have nothing to say about the Holocaust just as she had nothing to say about the hundreds of rockets that rained on Israel from Gaza prior to the tunnels, the kidnappings and murders of Israeli soldiers from Israeli territory, and the suicide bombings that killed nearly 30 elderly residents at a Passover Seder. How come Arafat wasn't charged with War crimes? By the way leftist Jews. Nancy Pelosi just refused to cosponser a congressional resolution in support of Israel's defensive actions against Hezbollah, a terrorist group with thousands of missles aimed against Israel.

designed to help Hezballah.... This last month in Iraq 3'200 civilians killed by the Muslims of either confession. Your Hague threats arnt worth a pipke.. I never heard anyone call Nastrall a "war criminal"... "Disproportion" means not enough Jews have been killed. Hezballah killed200's US marines in Beirut and Mr Buckly Head of Station of CIA . Also how many Frenchies in the big bang. The Americans remember this .

Everyone knows the UN is just talk. When was the last time they actually accomplished something positive? They say this to make the Arabs happy. Most of these "civilians" are Hizbollah members or supporters. However Lebanon counts anyone not in the army as a civilian.

"Art. 28. The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations. Art. 29. The Party to the conflict in whose hands protected persons may be, is responsible for the treatment accorded to them by its agents, irrespective of any individual responsibility which may be incurred. " http://www.genevaconventions.org/ The fact is that as long as Hizb'allah operates in civilian areas, it is responsible for those civilians. FACT.

Civilan casualities are something to be sorry about, but thay are part of war and its atrocities. I am more left wing than you I guess, but this position has no political boundaries.

It is obvious that the real war criminals are Hizbullah and the Lebanese, Syrian and Iranian authorities as they are all responsible for the deliberate terror attacks on Israeli civilians. They also have moral responsibility for every civilian killed in Lebanon because there would have been no Israeli response had Hizbullah not started the war. Also, given the level of UN cooperation with Hizbullah in the past, a case could be made for regarding the UN as war criminals.

put the Un on trial!

leave lebanon alone , it is more than a country it is a message.. stop the killing and visit this site that will change ur point of view www.lebanonunderattack.com

Yesterday on Al-Arabia, i saw a program showing Jewish children on the front line, drawing and writing on the tank sheels " TO CHILDREN OF LEBANON". assuming that it really happend (photos with IDF troops behinde) should give you an idea about what are the valus of the Jewish apartide state, that is been teached to their children and you can say whatever you like about arabs and how they teach children hate and how to kill Jews but your are supposed to be the good guy and the arabs the bad side, so where is the difference that has also been violated in the innocence of children ???

It is about time that the United Nations get off its collective ass and condemn Israel's barbaric actions in Lebanon.

when will UN also condemn use of civilians as a humanshield as a war crime?

...the massive indescriminate bombing of Kosovo which left thousands of innocent people dead, and many more displaced. http://www.eagleforum.org/column/1999/nov99/99-11-24.html And for what? To establish an Islamofascist terrorist beachhead on the doorstep of Europe. http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/DCH109A.html

for islamic killers

You wanted an aggressive Jew, you got one. Now that you have us, you can't bear it. You seek to kill the Jew. Confine the Jew into ghettos. Restain the Jew with mythology. Now you must accept bombings. Ta ta.

Kofi Annan should be tried for appeasing terrorists, ignoring Darfur for years, the corruption of the oil-for-food program, not enforcing any UN resolutions, etc., etc. Why is he allowed to stay in office? He is a pathetic leader. Kofi Annan and his cronies at the UN should be tried.

Just kidding!

We shouldn´t be mad at the UN. Just a little bit of joking is very helpful.

Do me a favor, first get knowledge of what is actually going on before you start bashing other religions. I know for a fact christianity, judasim and islam does not teach hatred toward other religions. This war is not about religion.
