31. Well said, Sarah.

lydia and her lot keep on pitching stones from their wobbly glass houses. It's so pleasant to take up a "cause" like the Palestinians' at a great distance and in happy ignorance, meanwhile ignoring one's own much darker history. Maybe this post will make it? Seems I have been banished lately.
32. THE TRUTH

There would be no need for flotillas if Israel withdrew from the occupied territories and release 10,000 Palestinian Shalits
33. Sorry

is Israel an enlightened country with the law as its guiding principle? That's why you killed 9 people on the ship in international water. GOOD LUCK ON YOUR DELLUCION. If this incident had been made by turkish forces they would have been arrested and tried for killing people unnecessarily
34. Peres and Senility

Will someone put this senile politician, and his EU funded Peace Center to a Nurseing Home. All he cares about is his legacy and his peace center not Israel. http://israelprotect.blogspot.com
35. ::Sarah BS - #30 - More lies?

Still trotting out the same lie? Clearly you are clueless about International Law which states quite clearly: “the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war.” It doesn't matter if it is a 'defensive' war or a war of 'aggression' the fact remains that it is not legal to acquire land by military means. Security Council Resolution 242 reaffirms this fact. Obviously the UN Security Council are much more knowledgeable on this matter than you are so don’t let me catch you trotting out this baseless lie again.

" is Turkey an enlightened country with the law as its guiding principle? That's why you sent a boatload of armed terrorists towards us. As for the claimed instant arrest / trials of your forces...well, seems your people have been none too quick to uphold the law, either in the past (Armenians) or present (Kurds - weren't your soldiers boasting only a few days ago about how many Kurds they disposed of?

Israel's territorial acquisitions came as a result of fighting a defensive war and, as such, are fully legal acquisitions> Still trotting out the same lie? ----- That's a known fact Matty, irrespective of what ever tilt you want to put. Israel is entitled to the spoils of war - like any other country...So, its clearly NOT a lie, but fact you wish to interpret YOUR way. Clearly you are clueless about International Law which states quite clearly: “the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war.” .----Are you joking? What International law is that? Is that the law that excludes everybody else but Israel? You've got to be kidding? No country operates by those tenets unless it SUITS them.Complete utter BS and you know it. It doesn't matter if it is a 'defensive' war or a war of 'aggression' the fact remains that it is not legal to acquire land by military means. ...AGAIN, tell that to the rest of the world who sit on territory taken by war. So again...is it only Israel that is expected to work by these supposed laws ? Its these kind of BS arguments that truly paint you and your friends as straight out Jew and Israel haters. Security Council Resolution 242 reaffirms this fact. ---- HA! HA! Yeah right... NOBODY with a brain expects Israel to abide by any UN resolution...just like 1710 completely ignored by Israel's enemies now the threat is even worse than before. Obviously the UN Security Council are much more knowledgeable on this matter than you are so don’t let me catch you trotting out this baseless lie again. Ha! HA! Matty the pontificator! You are a "baseles lie" your whole frame of reference is a kaleidoscope of twisted BS. So devoid of commonsense I doubt you can tie your shoelaces.....really mate stupid stuff...

Not at all, I could never outdo Sarah BS who is the biggest joke here and a proven fraud. So what you are saying is that Iraq and Afghanistan are now part of the USA as the US went to war with these countries?! You do realize how silly you are sounding. Nope I am merely quoting International Law you are the one who is interpreting International Law as irrelevant. I would also point out that International Law such as the Geneva Conventions were set up as safeguards to ensure that events like the Holocaust would never happen again. By dismissing International Law you are basically saying that genocide is acceptable in these modern times. I would also point out the obvious, Sarah BS stated “Israel's territorial acquisitions came as a result of fighting a defensive war and, as such, are *fully legal* acquisitions”. If you reject International Law then what *fully legal* framework do you base this claim on?? I would also point out that it really doesn’t matter what you think and if you dismiss international law or not because at the end of the day the only thing that counts is *international recognition*. For example Israel would not exist today were it not for the *international recognition* it received when it declared independence. I hate to trump you with logic but international recognition is conditional on international laws and if you don’t follow these laws you don’t get recognition. Case in point would be East Jerusalem, nobody recognizes Israel’s claim to this part of the city.
