| EU criticizes Israeli atrocities in Gaza | |
| 2006-11-05 | |
The European Union expressed Saturday its "profound concern" by increased violence in Gaza and criticized Israeli atrocities as a violation of international law. A statement by the current Finnish EU Presidency said the EU "deplores the growing number of civilian casualties the Israeli military operation has caused."

| #17 Anyway, for most of the Europeans of the Old Europe, Israelis are always guilty when they defend themselves. The propaganda, here in France, never stops. We enjoy 24/7 anti-israeli slanders. Sometimes, the journalists even repeat the most blatant antisemite lies spread by the Palestinians (last week, the French information radio "France Info" said that Israel is using secret weapons that are maiming poor Pals with especially horrendous wounds...). |

| #16 Uh, not me: my sympathy for those bloody savages went bye-bye with the first of the airplane hijackings back in the late 1960's. Same here, David D.. Munich and Entebbe sealed whatever disgust I already had for Yasser Arafat, who I never regarded as anything more than a routine conniving two-bit lying thug of a terrorist. The Palestinians have done nothing but prove to me over and over again just how perfectly Arafat reflected his entire culture. |

| #14 Let's see: The PLO kills RFK changing the 1968 election. Then the grab a bunch of planes and blow them up in the desert. Then try to kill King Hussian who reponds by kicking their asses out of Jordan with a massive fight. The enter Leb and ruin it. Wash and repeat over and over. Such loveable people |

| #13 Over 40 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since last Wednesday when the Zionist regime launched its attacks . Why did it launch the attacks? WHY, you dimwits? Stop the rocket attacks, stop the boomers, stop the violence and there wouldn't BE any Israeli attacks. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Renounce violence. Recognize Israel. Keep your agreements. Memory like a selective sieve. |

| #12 EU could care less, the Paleo's are only killing jew's, don't ya know? Like lotp my attitude changes in the 80's as well. The Beirut bombings and the torture and hanging of the US Marine LTC sealed my opinion, FOREVER. |

| #11 Took me a little longer, until I spent time there on business during the wave of hijackings / bombings in the 80s. And found myself caught up in the aftermath of a murder by a westbanker of a Jew in Old City Jerusalem souk. And then had an engine on my plane back to JFK explode just after we took off. And went through all the security searches after we managed to land safely, having dumped all the fuel needed to get to NY directly from Tel Aviv. And realized at a very personal level what the Israelis were living with on a daily basis. |

| #9 Notice the contrast with the thundering silence about rapes and murders in Darfur. Or in Stockholm for that matter. |

| #8 "Our sympathy for the Palestinians went out the window with the Kassams and the kidnapping and Hezbollah's raid that ended in 8 Israeli soldiers killed. So wail away, but it's over." Uh, not me: my sympathy for those bloody savages went bye-bye with the first of the airplane hijackings back in the late 1960's. |

| #7 You know, it's only when the U.S. gives a sh*t that this criticism has any mass. And you know what? Our sympathy for the Palestinians went out the window with the Kassams and the kidnapping and Hezbollah's raid that ended in 8 Israeli soldiers killed. So wail away, but it's over. |

| #3 "The right of all states to defend themselves does not justify disproportionate use of violence or actions which are contrary to international humanitarian law." Listen up you Euro assholes, terrorism always justifies the use of disproportionate force. Fighting genocidal psychotics grants you permission to ratchet it up a notch beyond "disproportionate". |

| #2 Yet another wilful misuse of the term 'disproportionate'. |
