U.S. Delivered Weapons to Israel in March, Group Reveals »
Posted By tehranchik 8 months, 2 weeks ago in Political NewsA leading international rights group has revealed that the United States delivered hundreds of tons of unspecified weapons to Israel in March - only weeks after its war on Gaza that killed hundreds of civilians - saying the new shipment of munitions raises the question whether U.S. President Barack Obama would act to prevent further Israeli attacks "that may amount to war crimes."
London-based Amnesty International on Thursday called on all governments to immediately suspend all arms shipments to Israel and Palestinian armed groups to end violence where civilians have been bearing the brunt of the decades-old conflict in the Middle East.
The organization revealed in a statement that a U.S. military-chartered German cargo ship, the Wehr Elbe, had left North Carolina, USA to Israel on Dec. 20, just one week before Israel launched its deadliest 23-day war on the Gaza Strip, leaving some 1,400 Palestinians killed, most of them civilians.

Great idea. That way they have more weapons to kill the terrorists. They should have never stopped and just kept on going until Hamas was wiped out along with anybody that was in the way. They elected Hamas by a large margin so they can live with the result.

why is a child's life considered more valuable than an adult man's? Because the child is an innocent? because a child is a life unfulfilled? Because an adult has been corrupted by life?

I propose that the death of an adult soldier is just the result of the indoctrination of the child & if that child does not reach maturity there is one less soldier(unless you are talking about Cambodia or Sierra Leone or any other child-soldier nation) I know that is a controversial statement that many will neg - but a child becomes the man just as the mutant bacteria becomes the plague-

So kill the child before he becomes a potential terrorist? Maybe save time and not wait before the child is even born and target pregnant women. Some people on this thread would support ideas like that because they are sub-human garbage anyways. Funny enough these same people are agaisnt abortions at home.

Though I guees I can see your point of view Ace. It is a fine line to guees when does a sentient being develope from a innocent child into the hatefull and violent person that others mold them into being.

My previous statement was not meant to be hateful or racist- it's just how I feel about putting values upon life in times of conflict. On the other-hand Locky represents the best example of the positive value of post-natal abortion. The hate he exudes from under the cloak of a God loving & God loving person is vile & poisonous.
