So what if was poisoned....big deal! Araflat was a terrorist and everybody knows it. And speaking of Israel...that land, the Gaza Strip belongs to Israel not that bunch of freakshow Palestinians. That land was given to Israel by God FOREVER. Palestinians have NO right to it. Hamas has lobbed over 3000 missles into Israel and nobody thinks anything about it but let Israel shoot one missle into Gaza and boy they're ready to blow Israel off the Earth. Sorry Bozo, its not gonna happen. God is going to protect His people Israel forever and if Palestine don't like it....TOUGH. Bunch of Camel Jockeys.
Hah Stratman.. your a funny guy. you bring god into this? God is not going to protect you guys. You jews think your the "chosen ones" .. your all ignorant .. Camel Jockeys? Go penny picking and get a life loser.
And what missles? Palestine is dirt poor and all they have to defend themselves is rocks. http://israelipalestinian.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=000639 Check out the death rates and you tell me whose more violent ? Wake up you pig
Israel remain the war criminal from decades.Belligerent occupation is governed by The Hague Regulations of 1907, as well as by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, and the customary laws of belligerent occupation. Security Council Resolution 1322 (2000), paragraph 3 continued: "Calls upon Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in a Time of War of 12 August 1949;..." Again, the Security Council vote was 14 to 0, becoming obligatory international law. Largely due to special-interest lobbying, U.S. taxpayers give Israel an average of $8 million per day,Palestinian homes are getting demolished by Israeli bulldozers while American are families are loosing their home supporting Israel as ordered by Jewish lobbyist, who invest millions in elections.
The Fourth Geneva Convention applies to the West Bank, to the Gaza Strip, and to the entire City of Jerusalem, in order to protect the Palestinians living there. The Palestinian People living in this Palestinian Land are "protected persons" within the meaning of the Fourth Geneva Convention. All of their rights are sacred under international law.
There are 149 substantive articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention that protect the rights of every one of these Palestinians living in occupied Palestine. The Israeli Government is currently violating, and has since 1967 been violating, almost each and every one of these sacred rights of the Palestinian People recognized by the Fourth Geneva Convention. Indeed, violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention are war crimes.
So this is not a symmetrical situation. As matters of fact and of law, the gross and repeated violations of Palestinian rights by the Israeli army and Israeli settlers living illegally in occupied Palestine constitute war crimes. Conversely, the Palestinian People are defending themselves and their Land and their Homes against Israeli war crimes and Israeli war criminals, both military and civilian.
Chuck766, What kind of person are you to be so blind to the outright and open incarceration of an entire nation on their own lands? The Israelis have the navy blockading the sea port illegally. The Israelis have the army with heavy tanks surrounding it. The Israelis have the air force overflying it daily. The Israelis have recently instigated the only form other than suicide attacks, to respond with....the unguided and obsolete backyard model kit rockets. The Israelis have IronDome defense system with a complete counter electronics suite and interceptors for the more sophisticated rockets. It is so successful at shooting down missiles, that Turkey now is requesting Patriot missile batteries. What do the Palestinians have to defend themselves with? Rubble.
spinner-or-winner - Your spin is great. With you, everything always goes back to Israel. If someone trips on uneven pavement, you would blame Israel. Arafat probably had many enemies even among his own people. If poisoned, it could easily have been the work of one of his own people. But no, you jump on Israel. Further, you derail people with your non-related quotes always condemning Israel rather than dealing with their comments/arguments. That is slick at best.
