Too long ... Let me help you..Originally posted by oxford mushroom:You want to know how the UN says about the matter?http://www.un.org/unrwa/refugees/whois.html
The UN cannot do anything if the US continue to side with Israel over this issue. An example of UN resolutions against Israel and the US veto:
A selected list (full list too long) of US vetoes cast against UN Security Council Resolutions on Palestine
You see, that's one of the reasons why so many people have sympathy with Israel. They are really good in psychological warfare. They turn things around, black becomes white, white becomes black. Imagine, even you got sent this 'message'. Im not surprised at all. But I would be surprised if someone sent you a message from the Palestinian president or Lebanese president, speaking eloquently about their nation struggle. Do you have any? Have you read any of such 'message' ? So imagine the reach and their effect.Originally posted by TehJarVu:Someone sent me this:-

FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL

Don't talk about your "certain world moral ethics". Both sides have did un-ethical actions against each other.
Palestnian been poor & without big guns do not "qualify/justify" their actions of Terrorism. Just like been poor does not make robbing less guilty. Same as, having big guns do not "qualify/justify" as police or judge against another.I didn't say poor justify Terrorism.. but oppression is and being poor as a result of it do breeds Terrorism.
In any case I hope you truly understand "been poor cannot justify Terrorism".
Seems UN can only talk from 1967 for Israel to withdraw, nothing much have changed. Why is it such? Why UN don't just go on war or do something serious to Israel's action? Guess both UN's & Israel's pay-check is back mostly by US. US major financial sector is control by Jews. See the link? The world is not in perfect balance.Nicely put.. and I have long known this.
In regards to Hama's election, don't you understand politics are all bad? Those in power would always want their own people to run the Government. Not just in Israel, everywhere. My guess Hama's have fallen into a trap. It's either Isreal govern the area or Hama is put into a situation where they cannot efficiently control the state.I was just reply to your post.. remember ?
Banking line was block by Israel I think. That large amount of money, no matter who brings in, will need to be declared. Maybe Israel will find ways to block it even if declared. That's the law. Needs to be declared if it's above certain amount of cash. If I did not remember wrong, the officer was caught after Egpt border (Israel Side). That's leave the case had happened on Israel land & Palestinian Authority cannot rule over this money. Just an example for you in case you don't understand (Don't jump), you can't use Malaysia law for cases happened in Singapore.Because.. Israel has encircled and seiging Palestine... else why do you think they need to pass Israel ?
Again I think you may have mis-understood. I don't deny that this money may have to be use for people only. There are many sides to this story. It maybe Isreal wants to weaken them. It maybe used to support people for Terrorism including making of bombs & rockets. Don'f forget Terrorist also need food while doing bad deeds. It's words against words. Only people actually do this knows. Not you & I can confirm this. I just wonder why don't they transfer the money in small portions by many people? Just like money laundry method. Guess they don't trust their own guys either?Transfer small amount ?.. to run a country with 10 million is peanuts.
To me "...or Terrorism will also likely flow." Seems to me you support Terrorism?? If one day you are robbed & cut. The robber was caught will the law & yourself forgive him without punishment because he is poor & needed the money? No matter what case it is, actions of hurt is un-justify without some punishment.I am not supporting terrorism.. in part because I do see that the Palestinian do have a legit argument of Resistance. They do need the money.
Don't jump into conclusion easily. I did not say GAZA, it's your words. The world is not always perfect.Is this what you wrote....

There is always a out-cry of illegal occupations of Palestnian land. Some may be true, some not. From the Israellis side, not my view, their land was mostly bought thru a transactions of gold. Then I believe Israelli grow or expand their land. This may have cause the confusion. I think Isreal have uses some methods to suppress others. Not ethical either.
Sorry about that. I must have misunderstood your meaning.Originally posted by MobyDog:Hi, SilverPal.
I know the difference, and I did say that it may not be a good example. Because my whole general post is about... " what made a Suicide bomber do what he does ".. and not all suicide bombers are religious fanatics.
In today's straits Times papers, an article mentioned that out of 41 Lebanese suicide bombers, only 8 are fanatics, the other 28 are resistance to occupation, which includes christians.
I'd like to understand your views better, do you think there is a difference between terrorists and freedom/resistance fighters? Do you agree with the Geneva Convention's definition of terrorists?Originally posted by #$%^&*:Why some people keep saying this term 'terrorist' or 'terrorism' , it is clear they are resistance figthers. By the way, with how Israel killed so many innocent civilians, they are the most organized terrorist group themselves.
Afer all your arguements, you are now indirectly admitting you are subjectively chooing your so called "Fact' & indirectly admitting you are indeed a Moron ? ?Originally posted by MobyDog:Like wise, Neither would you expect the israelis to say the opposite.

The above is a statement and not as an example.. Nice spinOriginally posted by Dounut:I am only using Qiriat Shmona as an [b]Example based on your arguement, I never said 2 IDF soldiers were captured there.

I think those in Hezbollah are thinking that they must defang Israel now. I really don't know who is in the right or who is in the wrong, but each is not strong enough to defang the other, that would result in a long drawn out war.Originally posted by googoomuck:The Lebanese govt's response to UN resolution 1559 is the cause of the current conflict.
The Syrians and Lebanese are using Shebaa Farms as an excuse for not disarming Hezbollah and accuse Israel of still occupying Lebanon.
Shebaa Farms was taken with the Golan Heights during the six-day war,1967.
Fast forward to the present. Out of the blue, Lebanon become interested in this strip of land. Syria, which has claimed it as her territory and even once repelled the Lebanese military from taking the land suddenly declared that it was presented as a gift to Lebanon some time during the fifties.
The firing of rockets into Israeli territories has been going on and off before
the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers and the killing of another eight more gave Israel a reason to retaliate.
What if Israel is willing to give up Shebaa Farms? There's still other villages in dispute close to the blue line. How about a small abandoned village, Nkhaile?
An immediate ceasefire will only let the situation simmer until it explode again.
Must defang Hezbollah now.
erm...interesting, so how many United States are there in America?Originally posted by SilverPal:This is a classic example of "reasonable person's intepretation".
When a person talks, a listener will take and understand the words spoken in the context of the topic being discussed, unless the statement or words used are very ambiguous and the listener cannot possibly understand the meaning of the speaker.
For example, when chatting about computer networks and how computers communicate, one would understand that a "handshake" is not a social gesture that people indulge in when meeting for the first time. Also, IP would not mean Intellectual Property.
When I tell you that I'm talking on my phone while walking down orchard road, you would not ask me how come my home phone can stretch so far as to enter orchard. And when I said home phone, I mean land line. A mobile phone placed at home is not considered a home phone.
Similarly, the popular usage of calling the COUNTRY of America has many forms. The COUNTRY America can be called "the US" (not them and us, but U.S.), "America" (the COUNTRY not the continent), "The United States (in this paragraph I am talking about the one in the continent of America), "USA" (do I really have to keep explaining everytime?), "US of A (you are seriously delusional if you can take this one out of context).
When you asked how many united states there are, after so many pages of discussion regarding THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and one of her allies, you have taken the discussion out of context.
When Armstrong landed on the moon, he said "... and giant step for mankind..." Is that statement sexist? What about womankind?
When you talk about the PDMMs or about PRCs, then you question about which china am I refering to, that would mean you either are not following the conversation or you really have a medical problem preventing you from understanding simple things.
When I say Korea, it really depends on what we were discussing that warranted the mention of korea. In 1 conversation, I could be talking about S. Korea, in another conversation I could be talking about N. Korea. Now do I have to explain what is the "S" and "N" that I just put before Korea? After all, it could stand for anything.
