5. Why hasn't israel brought the terrorist nations up...
bernard ross ,   st. anns bay,jamaica   (03.14.08)
...on war crimes? the arab & persian nations have financed the targeting and murders of Israeli civilians for many years. The collateral damage is nothing compared to the deliberate targeting of Israeli civilian populations. The geneva conventions are null & void in their breaching.

8. Who's guilty? Read this and find out...
Joe Sittizen ,   Jerusalem   (03.14.08)
"The attacks against civilians by Palestinian armed groups are widespread, systematic and in pursuit of an explicit policy to attack civilians. They therefore constitute crimes against humanity under international law. They may also constitute war crimes" http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGMDE020032002?open&of=ENG-ISR
9. Islamic Conference
Richard R. ,   Buckeye United State   (03.14.08)
Genocide means to wipe out a people or a country. The Germans along with there Arabs friends in the midile east durring world war two tryed to wipe out all the Jews and they almost succeded. What county would take a pounding like Israel has been taking and not hit back in full force. We care about human life we don't send people to blow them selves up by lieing to them that they will have 100 vergins waiting for them, that is a sickness. So you Arabs talk about Genocide? You have been commiting from day one. In Irag killing hundeds of innocident people who just want to live. and you talk about Israel. Shame, Shame on you, Look at your self before you accuses Israel of anything. The world is waking up about the arabs. So beware from the pharols mouth came the plages that destroyed the firsr born of Egypt. God hears every word you say.
10. AND WE ASSUME THAT THE ISLAMISTS PERPERTRATE NO CRIMES ...
sude ham   (03.14.08)
like in Sudan.. in Chad... in Iraq... in Afgahnistan... in many parts of Africa... in European trains... in american commercial towers... what cursed demons these islamists who rail agains Israel.
11. More Islamic Bovine Scatology
sandman ,   ann arbor, usa   (03.14.08)
ahh gee did these bovine scatolgist s remenber... Article 51 of United Nation Charter guarantees its members "the inherent right to..individual self defense" against "an armed attack".. i quess Hamas which fires qassam missles at cilvilian targets in southern Isreal is not an "armed attack" under Article 51. Then what would Isreal rights be under international law according to these jerks. These unconstructive critciisms directed against Isreali self-defensive actions while not condeming Hamas and other Palestinian groups terrorism onlty encourages more terrorism. and brings no solutions
12. Then its time we also accuse them ... starting with
GZLives   (03.14.08)
The Saudis for bankrolling the spread of Wahabism that has caused the death of thousands and incited the current Jihad. Next is the Palestinians for rocketing Israeli cities collectively punishing Israelis in Sderot and Ashkelon. We need to accuse Syria of harboring terror leaders and enabling Iran to trans ship weapons to Hezbollah in violation of the UN resolution that ended the recent war. The very worst thing we can do is allow this PR stunt to go unanswered arming Leftists everywhere to take more pot shots at us.
13. Historical comparisons ....
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (03.14.08)
One example would be if Hitler had a conference attended by leaders of the other fascist countries. Mussolini, Franco, Salazar, & others would make speeches condemning liberal democracy & saying that fascism was "misunderstood" & nothing to be afraid of. The communists had frequent conferences - all the dictators of the Iron Curtain countries would attend & extol the virtues of their totalitarian police states. They too would say that communism was "misunderstood" & Stalin was really a nice guy. So now we have the Islamic conference & guess what? The totalitarian ideology that they represent is "misunderstood" & poses no threat. Really? And as with other totalitarian ideologies, there are always those in the West, generally called "useful idiots" who refuse to face reality, ignore all evidence, & preach appeasement & understanding. Some things never change .....
14. UNO who's to blame
eh-oop ,   UK   (03.14.08)
You would't look to lapidators (Iran), beheaders (KSA) and specialist scorched earth (Sudan), chemical weapons (Syria), aircraft bombing (Libya) and human shield (Hamas) practitioners for a balanced viewpoint exactly, but Ban Ki-Moon's speech at the conference did rather tell them that it's all right, chaps.
15. Islamic states squalling about "crimes"?
Cameron ,   USA   (03.14.08)
Oh man, what a planet.
16. The moral voice of the enablers of Islamic terrorism
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (03.14.08)
As if these people have the right to pass moral judgment on anyone. I've yet to hear them apologize for the tens of millions killed during the Islamic conquests. Nor do I see them working to end the killings sponsored even today by members of this unholy alliance. Do they think any but their own kind take their words seriously?
17. There is no such thing as let us all get along.
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (03.15.08)
When it comes to islamofacists who wants to destroy our very way of life in the USA and Israel
18. the palestinians are commiting war crimes !
raphael ,   new york   (03.15.08)
by lauching 20-30 rockets on a daily basis at a city with 40000 civilians including children and elderly people, making their lives miserable ,playing russian roulette with those civilians lives by not knwing where the rocket will hit this time. Israel is trying to protect their citizens like expected from any government in the western world. once the launching of rockets will stop the israelis will stop too.
19. Arab/Muslim genocides list is way too long....
Jake ,   Toront, Canada   (03.15.08)
1948 attempted genocide of Jews, 20,000 Muslims slaughtered by Assad in Hama 1982, 1967 6 day war threat of genocide, Yom Kippur war threat of genocide, Darfur genocide, 300,000+ murdered by butcher of Bagdad, 7.5 million Saudi abused women slaves today with no rights and treated like chattel, Iran's 100,000 children ordered over land mines to fight Iraqi's, etc. etc. etc.
20. Do they really think the west is that stupid to believe
rachel ,   USA   (03.15.08)
all their lies ?I think we have seen enough Pallywood to know .......
21. How can our civilization listen to this nonsense?
Mladen Andrijasevic ,   Be'er Sheva   (03.15.08)
The Palestinians launch 6000 rockets deliberately targeting Israeli civilians in Sderot, and then accuse Israel of war crimes against Palestinian civilians! How can our civilization, the product of Newton, Descartes, Maxwell, Einstein, Spinoza, Russell, Camus or Orwell now listen to this utter nonsense? Why do we even bother to report the ramblings of these 57 countries who live in the Middle Ages and have contributed virtually nothing to our civilization? The entire Muslim world of 1.4 billion people have produced 2 (two) Nobel Prize winners in sciences and medicine, while 14 million Jews have given 143 or 7150 times per capita more.
22. They are right !
charles ,   petach tikva   (03.15.08)
Made only a small error , replaced muslim countries by Israel in their paper .
