Posted By populist 10 months, 4 weeks ago in NewsHours before Israel announced a ceasefire, an Amnesty International fact finding mission gained access to Gaza. Their initial reports are disturbing: the team found first hand evidence of war crimes, serious violations of international law and possible crimes against humanity by all parties to the conflict.

Ethnic cleansing, hmmmmm..... I assume that you are referring to Israel and it's treatment of the Palestinians. Now, lets look at the other side. 75,000 dead in Darfur at last count by Muslim Militia. 100,000 dead in Iraq, Somolia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan by Muslim roadside bombers, suicide bombers and direct attack on innocent men, women and children on pilgrimiages, prayer vigils, in marketplaces, on roadsides and in city neighborhoods IN ONE YEAR ALONE!!!!. Not to mention what happened in India recently. Just yesterday, 35 policeman were killed by a Muslim suicide bomber. In 1929, the Jews of Hebron were mostly murdered by Muslims carrying out a pogrom. Those that weren't killed were forced to flee. The city is almost all Muslim today. In 1948, Jerusalem was captured by the Jordanians. When the Jordanians took control of the city in 1948 (In the early 1900's the majority of the population of Jerusalem was mostly Jewish), all Jews were forced to leave and a fence was placed around the city to prevent the Jews from having access to their former homes and religious sites. All Jewish cemeteries we desecrated and the tombstones were used as toilets. The Jews were not allowed to return to the Old city until 1967 when Israel liberated it from the Jordanians. Want to continue? There's lots more. And you have the audacity to talk about ethnic cleansing!!!! Why not one word about the hundreds of thousands killed each year by Muslims around the world?????

What is not being addressed is the reason that this occurred in the first place. Hamas was firing rockets into Israel for 8 years. Let me do that to anyone of you in your homes and lets see how you react. Have any of you bothered to Googlemap the Gaza strip and see how much unpopulated land there is that could have been used to build bunkers, store rockets and from which the rockets could have been fired? Hamas CHOSE to use the urban, populated areas and that is the biggest war crime of all. Israel had two choices- continue to take the rocket fire, or try to stop it in Urban areas. With all of the destruction, only 600 civilians were killed.(I'm not condoning the death of a single civilian). That is to Israel's credit, because Hamas' rockets didn't care where they landed and how many people would have been killed had Israel not had an early warning system. No other country in the world would have taken the energy to notify civilians before they bombed. Try laying the blame for once on where it belongs!!!! Responsible governments don't use their own people as human shields. There is a reason why Hamas is considered a terrorist organization. That is what terrorists do, and they don't care a bit about their own people as is seen in the rest of the Middle east carnage by the Sunni/Shia infighting. 100,000 dead last year alone by their own people. And not one word from any of you for these innocent people. Hypocrites!!!!
