"How can Annan expect Israel to "respect international law and human life." when the Arabs attacking them have no such conviction? " is that an excuse?? first of all ..Palestinians do NOT send their children wrapped in bomb jackets.. since who carry out those attacks are not 10 year olds pushed by their parents!! they do it because they have no other choice.. I don't think you believe it's so easy to wrap YOURSELF in explosives!! they do it as a result of Israeli attacks on them and their families.. it's the only way to get rid of the feeling of humiliation and injustice they suffer from .. a terrorist is someone who has arms and weapons and uses them to kill others while he sits peacefully not someone who sacrifices his own life for the sake of his country and people!! I doubt you are convinced by your ideas ..let alone trying to convince others..

the corrupt Oil traffiker

I just heard on Fox News that the u.n. abuses the human rights of it's own staff.How about that koofi-anal?

36 and 45 don't like to hear the truth because it is bad news. 36 you detect the facts but you HATE IT. 45 don't generalise.

This is the most IDIOTIC statement I saw for a while a real "gem". "is that an excuse?? first of all ..Palestinians do NOT send their children wrapped in bomb jackets.. since who carry out those attacks are not 10 year olds pushed by their parents!! they do it because they have no other choice.. I don't think you believe it's so easy to wrap YOURSELF in explosives!! they do it as a result of Israeli attacks on them and their families.. it's the only way to get rid of the feeling of humiliation and injustice they suffer from .. a terrorist is someone who has arms and weapons and uses them to kill others while he sits peacefully not someone who sacrifices his own life for the sake of his country and people!! I doubt you are convinced by your ideas ..let alone trying to convince others.." Child had no choice PERHAPS that is the only true and factual statement you made perhaps by OMMISSION. Child was USED by the diabilic freacs to kill OTHER CHILDREN in PIZZA corner, cafe, shoping mail etc. There was a PLOtnik who dressed as a Rabbi and went to the Jewish KINDERGARTEN trying to kill as many BABIES as POSSIBLE he triggered his trip to the virgins just seconds prematurely WHILE RUNNING TOWARD THE CHILDREN IN HADER (KINDERGARTEN). So PLO does CARE for children they are their main targets and WEAPONS. You stupidity is not a new phenomenon it is old as anti-Semitism usually we call this condition as Nazism it is a condition that blames Jews, Jewish babies for all ills in the world, few years ago if you had a bad day you can go an perhaps hunt a Jew or two to make your saintly "brownies".. today Jews live in Israel and it is harder to get them.. so instead of shuting a Jew or two you have no other choice but to end up shooting them over the internet.. like most of the good Nazis do today? Nothing new under the sun BUT THE STATE OF ISRAEL, thanks for the 6,000,000 of your victims.

Why doesn't Kofi express such righteous indignation when the Palestinian terrorists blow up cafes and busses in Israeli cities killing scores of innocent civilians? Why is it so hard for him to fathom that this incident is a Hamas set up, given the Palestinian record with Jenin and al-Dura. Let alone his so called expert. Isn't he the same guy that swore up and down that Iraq had and was hiding WMD's? Annan is nothing but a hypocrite and the UN is nothing but a joke.

Check out these totally inoscent chidlren just wanting to live in peace with the Israelis http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/pictures/PalestinianChildAbuse/

Why don't you move to Gaza and see how wonderful life is there. You write your sarcasm from the comfort of your livingroom in Camberly, Englad. You obviously have no idea how peaceful a people your beloved Palestinians truly are.

You probably won't reply, but just so I understand. Are you saying it's OK for the Palestinians to kill innocent civilians by blowing them up in cafes and busses and for the Israelis to just sit there and welcome the murderers to their midst? Get real! Violence begets violence. Put down the homocide belt and the Israelis will park their airplanes and tanks. I assure you of that. Saalam!

Lynne, Your statement is completely assinine. You said: "a terrorist is someone who has arms and weapons and uses them to kill others while he sits peacefully not someone who sacrifices his own life for the sake of his country and people!!" So what the hell is a homocide bomber that kills scores of innocent civilians in cafes and on busses? A flower delivery person? PAAAALEEEEZE. A wise man once said: "It is better to keep you mouth shut and have people think you a fool than to open it and remove all doubt".

try something better OK - more studied facts before you come back

Syrian hating Jews

When all real evidence proves that Israel DID NOT have anything to do with the blast why do we take the word of some antisemite even if he is American? If Israel indeed was to blame you can be sure they would have left the evidence instead of sweeping it away and wasn;t it convenient that the media was close -by so they culd film it all for the propaganda purpose. No, this is another media manufatured propaganda like the alDuro kid,. XChildren make good propaganda pieces, the wolrld weeps for them unless they are Jewish children. Ever watch the save the children ads on TV so heart wrenching,, you immediately run the to phone to call in your donations. How much attention did the media give to the Hatuel family? Luckily Jewish doctors are able to detect any scrapnel which was not removed before hand, Thank goodness, the Palestinans are inept in that too so that not all was sureptiiously removed. If they put as much effort into working the land they have instead of just propaganda, they could make their quarter bloom too and not need the dole which they constantly seek.

definitley this is the work of MOSSAD, anything to make sure that the USA continues to give Israel billions in aid...

made sure that the Rwanda genocide would occur. http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/joelmowbray/2005/03/01/14657.html

It seems the IDF is very practiced in this kind of deception. Big Blatant Lies are always easiest to believe.

I find it almost laughable that Kofi Annan doesn't find it plausible that Palestinians planted shells on a beach frequented by families. Palestinians regularly attack Israelis from civilian areas, knowing full-well that it is difficult for the IDF to retaliate because the IDF has more of a sense of morality than the Palestinians.

Well what do you think the truth is Anne

Bible, Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death" Black Africans are the indigenous people of Sudan and are the majority population. The black Southern Sudanese Christians explain what "peace" means: If you agree to become a Muslim, you will have peace. If you reject Islam, you are at war. From 1955-1973, 1.5 million Christians were slaughtered by the Arab Muslim government in Khartoum. From 1983-2005, two million more Christians died from Khartoum's jihad. Murdering infidels is not considered a crime. Non-Muslim infidels are regarded as not entitled to human rights. Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been raped. Hundreds of thousands of Christian children and women taken for slaves. In the refugee camps, the Islamo-Fascist religious supremacist Khartoum government requires refugees to become Muslims in order to receive food and water. The genocide has resulted in the largest population of refugees on earth since the Second World War. The jihad in Sudan against Darfur's black African Muslims by Khartoum's racist Arab Muslim regime began in 2003. 400,000 black Muslims are dead. STOP Genocide - STOP Slavery - FREE the Slaves http://www.iabolish.org/ Bible, Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death"

A quick check will show that Skokie IL is home to both the KKK and the National Socialist White People's Party - to which do you hold an ID card?

It's always the Mossad

I read the news out of israel regularly and it seems to me this kind of atrocity at the hands of the IDF is nothing new. What is new is that the killings happened to be caught on tape, and images of a screaming little arab girl crying over her dead family on a beach broadcast all over the world. For the IDF to Lie and Lie often must have seemed to them their best public relations move, despite the facts. Its really quite shameful and they have a lot to answer for.

Why all these cycle of violence continuing in both sides. It is none other than Israel, the world's No.1 Terrorist countrie's illegal occuppation of Palastine land. Leave the Palstenian land and give it to them, then only this violence will stop. Dont blame the suicide bombers, for you are illegally occuppying their land and indiscriminately killing innocent civilians including women and children. What you will do if some other country encroaches and invade your land, kills your civilians, demolish your houses, destroy your crops, etc,etc,. Will you accept them OR resist them? What the Palestinians are doing is their right to defend the atrocities and human rights violation of the RASCAL NATION ISRAEL.

I hate to burst your bubble - get educated You obviously have NO clue about History from the region: A) Occupation only applies under International Law - vis-a-vis the territory of another SOVEREIGN STATE.... You can legally only occupy another State that was under different Sovereignty at the time of occupation - which does not apply to the PA Territories since they were not part of any Sovereign State .... Jordan and Egypt never had annexed any territories to become the sovereign of same, when Israel regained it's territories in a self-defense war. Therefore Legally Judea and Samaria (ancient historical Jewish land) are unassigned territories of the British Mandate for Palestine not "occupied territories." B) Israeli presence in Yesha does not constitute "occupation," and moreover, that the U.N. Partition Resolution of 1947 is a "recommendation" and not obligatory. "Up until 1948, Judea, Samaria and Gaza were a part of the British Mandate. In the 1948 War of Independence, Egypt illegally grabbed the Gaza Strip, and Jordan took Judea and Samaria, the 'West Bank.' Egypt did not claim sovereignty in Gaza, but Jordan deigned, in 1950, to annex Judea and Samaria. This annexation was not recognized by international law. The Arab nations objected to it, In 1967, after the Six Day War, these territories - which were originally meant for the Jewish Nation's National Home according to the Mandate Charter - returned to Israeli control." in 1988, King Hussein of Jordan rescinded its legal and administrative ties to Judea and Samaria. "According to international law," "Israel has full right to try to populate the entire Land of Israel with dense Jewish settlement, and thus actualize the principles set by the League of Nations in the original Mandate Charter of San Remo in 1920. At that time, the mandate to the Land of Israel was granted to the British, and the introduction to the mandate charter states clearly that it is based on the international recognition of the historic ties between the Jewish People and the Land of Israel. Clause II of that mandate charges Britain with 'ensuring the existence of political, administrative, and economic conditions that will guarantee the establishment of the Jewish national home in the Land of Israel.'" "Even the White Paper of 1922," emphasized the Jewish Nation's rights to the national home in the Land of Israel - while at the same time tearing away almost 80% of the mandate's area on the eastern side of the Jordan and giving it to Emir Abdullah." There is nothing in international law that requires a Palestinian state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean - not even the UN Partition Resolution of Nov. 29, 1947. The fact that the Arab states did not accept the Partition Plan, voids the recommendation of any legal basis. Resolutions 242 and 338, which call for negotiations and a "withdrawal from territories" (not "withdrawal from THE territories") captured in 1967, are similarly "recommendations." These resolutions were drawn up under the UN Charter's Clause VI, which deals with non-mandatory recommendations - as opposed to Clause VII resolutions, "which are mandatory, and which deal with a threat to world peace, such as those taken against Iraq." If by chance you don't understand Intl. Law - you should take a lawyer and file for arbitration and explanations with the T.M.C. Asser Institute on Intl. Law in the Hague. http://www.asser.nl/index.htm Good Luck ALSO: Israel White Paper – Israel's Legal Rights to Judea, Samaria, and Gaza http://www.israelwhitepaper.org/

full of BS: Terror orgaizations you trust - to you only Israel lies - what a brave Fool you are !!! http://hnn.us/blogs/entries/26678.html http://hnn.us/blogs/entries/26699.html http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27778

It's amazing how the most extreme zionists are the ones living in the west, spewing from their keyboards, with a bravery that comes from internet anonymity. Modus operandi; attack the character of a perfect stranger; and spew out (unoriginal) racist propaganda. P.S., Is slamming my email address one of your fanatic tactics to quash any truth that differs from your crazy agenda? You freaking lunatic.

You sound unstable in the way you post: read your own post . If there is a Racist it is You: The posting I did is factual - so in your mind facts = Racism that's a new one: facts are for you - Racist propaganda wake up to facts and stop ranting OK You sound like an extremely young person - not well educated in the facts - which shows in your post So Zionists are for your liking Racist ? What an agressive stupid statement: You obviously have an agenda - so why come to this website - Jewish - Israeli ? Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said: ". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth. "Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and ever will be so.

Isn't it sad when zionist apologists resort to rehashing this fabricated quote they attribute to Martin Luther King Jr. http://www.counterpunch.org/kiblawi01172004.html Gabby, wouldn't it be nice for once to be honest with yourself and others. But I guess I can see, from your 15 other posts, that probably won't happen anytime soon.
