#1 Amnesty International (which I at one time contributed to) has lost all credibility. The West is always wrong and the terrorists are always poor innocent victims. These people are the ultimate in "useful idiots".

#3 So would it be even-handed to investigate whether donations to Hamas are being used for weapons? I didn't think so. Amnesty lives on a one way street.

They're right.

We should be giving Israel MUCH more help.

#5 If we won't supply Israel with modern weapons they can always go out to the international arms dealers and buy some old dumb iron bombs. That should help reduce loss of 'innocent' lives in Gaza, right?

#6 A Great White Shark attacking a baby seal isn't fair, so let them correct that wrong first.

#9 United Nations estimates that Israel dropped a few million cluster bombs on Lebanon

I just noticed this....
How many planes flying how long would it take to drop a few MILLION cluster bombs...?
How many landmasses the size of Israel were used to store these FEW MILLION bombs before dropping them?

#10 They're probably counting each sub-munition as a seperate "bomb". Fools.
Surely the IDF can do better than that.
