Israel Accused Of Human Rights Abuses

[dgridley]

Israeli soldiers and Jewish settlers committed "serious human rights abuses" against the Palestinians in 2006, mostly with impunity, Amnesty International said in its annual report issued Wednesday.
It also said civilians bore the brunt of rising violence last year between Israelis and Palestinians that saw a three-fold jump in Palestinians killed, although the number of Israelis killed fell by half.

During the 34-day Lebanon conflict last summer "both Hezbollah and Israel committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, including war crimes," said the report.

"In particular Israeli forces carried out indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks on a large scale."

"Israeli forces also appear to have carried out direct attacks on civilian infrastructure intended to inflict a form of collective punishment on Lebanon's people."

Yes, Israel has been violating palestinians and lebanese(how do you think hamas, PIJ, hezbollah etc gained popularity and turned movements?) for a while now, and vice versa. What i would like to add is that These acts by israel by definition is also terrorism.THe Bush administration has framed "terrorism:" to mean irrational militancy, indiscriminate bombings, etc. in Americans' minds, but many countries commit terrorism everyday. Its simply hypocritical, but alot of the average citizens of the world overlook it.

Terrorism only exists if it is an act against American interests.
The Bush administration has been VERY clear about this.

Your "Frame" obviously differs from mine on the definition of terrorism. IN any case, my knowledge of military related stuff world wide is outstanding and i know what i said is not ignorant or stupid. your comments are quite insulting, and show a lack of decent "netiquette" shall i say..........
