Open Question: Is this the Israel you support ?
Ms Pillay told the BBC: "The incident the Red Cross describes is very troubling because it has all the elements of what constitutes a war crime. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7821321.stm ROME, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Pope Benedict's point man for justice and peace issues on Wednesday issued the Vatican's toughest criticism of Israel since the latest Mideast crisis began, calling Gaza a "big concentration camp". Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Vatican's Council for Justice and Peace, made his comments in an interview in the Italian online newspaper Il Sussidiario.net http://uk.reuters.com/article/featuredCrisis/idUKL7220014 JERUSALEM: International aid groups lashed out at Israel on Thursday over the war in Gaza, saying that access to civilians in need is poor, relief workers are being hurt and killed, and Israel is woefully neglecting its obligations to Palestinians who are trapped, some among rotting corpses in a nightmarish landscape of deprivation. The United Nations declared a suspension of its aid operations after one of its drivers was killed and two others were wounded despite driving United Nations-flagged vehicles and coordinating their movements with the Israeli military. The United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, called for an investigation by Israel for a second time in a week after the more than 40 deaths near a United Nations school from Israeli tank fire on Tuesday. http://www.iht.com/articles/2009/01/09/africa/09mideast.php Rabbi calls it an atrocity and a genocide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0haybEo-Tx4 Israel attacks pleasure ship bringing aid to Gaza while in international waters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n4OhUpc20Q War crime -- atrocity -- genocide -- concentration camp Is that the Israel YOU support ? The pope ought to know what a war crime and a concentration camp is -- who actually would know better than this pope ? Aid ships containing a former US congress woman - in international waters attacked by Israeli forces A UN aid ship attack during a cease fire UN schools bombed ---------------- Is this really the Israel you support ? Is it ? A better description of the Israeli attack on the high sea of an aid boat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52wipVOF2eo&feature=related Yes Deek we are done here -- we now all know what you are "Hail victory" --- do you know what that translates into in German ? No Eric M I am condemning those who are carrying out a genocide --- I am agreeing with a Rabbi I am agreeing with the UN War crimes concentration camps and genocide is what you are "accidentally supporting" Now you know why no one questioned the camps in Germany -- because Germans all thought the way you do Excuse me but I am going to go stand beside Rabbi Weiss a principled man who tells the truth (more...)

Open Question: Do you agree that Israel is in violation of international law and is committing clear war crimes?
Summary of Conclusions: 1. During "Operation Cast Lead" Israel has not only publicly expressed but also effectively demonstrated its unwillingness to distinguish between civilians and combatants on the one hand and between civilian objects and military objectives on the other. Acting upon a legally false claim that anything allegedly affiliated with Hamas ? be it a home, school, mosque or a chicken farm ? "is a legitimate military target," Israel attempts to create a legal façade for its unlwaful attacks on the Gaza Strip. Further, by disguising its offensive in the form of claimed self-defence, Israel seeks to legitimise the killing of almost 700 Palestinians, the vast majority of whom were civilians (including many children), and the injury of more than 3,000, in addition to the destruction of hundreds of homes and the damage of thousands. 2. This cynical manipulation of the letter and spirit of international law has made way for an international discourse which risks reinterpreting and therefore compromising the most fundamental principles of international law for the sake of political interests. This in turn has resulted in the continuing failure of the international community, including the High Contracting Parties of the Geneva Conventions, the UN Security Council and General Assembly and the EU to effectively engage their own clearly defined legal obligations to ensure respect for international humanitarian law and amounts to tacit acquiescence to Israel's calculated and systematic disregard for international humanitarian law. 3. The cost of international inaction is being born by a terrorised Palestinian civilian population who has no safe haven. It is therefore necessary for the international community to reaffirm its commitment to the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law and to create the necessary political will to take effective measures against those who ridicule and blatantly violate them. 4. Any genuine international intervention that aims at achieving a just and durable solution to the conflict must above all acknowledge international law as the basis of any agreement and address the root cause of the conflict, the Israeli occupation. For the full online report, see: http://gazasiege.org/docs/jan09/Legal_Brief_Gaza_Al_Haq_Jan2009.pdf [This is all after establishing that Israel's 18 month embargo is also in breach of the Geneva Convention, and that Hamas' firing of rockets into civilian territoy is in breach too - despite the Palestinians' legal right to resist the occupier militarily] But please do stick to the question. The question was about Israel. I'm assuming most did not read what was posted/the report. Perhaps this will help: ?They [Hamas] don't make a distinction, and neither should we." - Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni DSPITE 'Attacks on civilians not taking direct part in hostilities that result in deaths constitute wilful killing, a war crime amounting to a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention. This entails the individual criminal responsibility of those Israeli officials who planned, ordered or executed such attacks.' ?We are hitting not only terrorists...but also the whole Hamas government and all its wings...After this operation there will not be one Hamas building left standing in Gaza, and we plan to change the rules of the game.? - Brigadier General Dan Harel DESPITE: 'Article 52 of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions, which is established as customary international law, defines civilian objects as ?all objects which are not military objectives.? MaryJane and Jennifer J, I guess Hamas could say the same thing (has a right to self-defense and that Israel started it) as Israel has illegally kept Gaza under a blockade and denied its 1.5m people freedom of movement. It was also the first to break the cease-fire whose terms it never actually observed at all. If you need sources, please read this article: http://www.creative-i.info/?p=3402 Homer, you are mistaken in your defintion of occupied. The Gazans have lived under Israeli occupation since the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel is still widely considered to be an occupying power, even though it removed its troops and settlers from the strip in 2005. Israel still controls access to the area, imports and exports, and the movement of people in and out. Israel has control over Gaza?s air space and sea coast, and its forces enter the area at will. As the occupying power, Israel has the responsibility under the Fourth Geneva Convention to see to the welfare of the civilian population of the Gaza Strip. Obviously, with the illegal blockade, it is clearly cotravening international law (see what richar Faulk of the UN has to say about below). Even through common sense, if Hamas were in total control of its land, then what is Israel doing establishing a blockade, closing Gaza's borders and crossings to the outside world and blocking supply lines for bare necessities? STATEMENT BY PROF. RICHARD FALK, UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR FOR HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES "The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the laws of war. Those violations include: Collective punishment ? the entire 1.5 million people who live in the crowded Gaza Strip are being punished for the actions of a few militants. Targeting civilians ? the airstrikes were aimed at civilian areas in one of the most crowded stretches of land in the world, certainly the most densely populated area of the Middle East. Disproportionate military response..." Read the rest at: http://www.unhchr.ch/huricane/huricane.nsf/view01/F1EC67EF7A498A30C125752D005D17F7?opendocument Jennifer J,, I hope this will clear your misconception that Israel 'did not start it': http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2009/01/top-5-lies-about-israel%E2%80%99s-assault-on-gaza/ "Israel never observed the cease-fire to begin with. From the beginning, it announced a ?special security zone? within the Gaza Strip and announced that Palestinians who enter this zone will be fired upon. In other words, Israel announced its intention that Israeli soldiers would shoot at farmers and other individuals attempting to reach their own land in direct violation of not only the cease-fire but international law. Despite shooting incidents, including ones resulting in Palestinians getting injured, Hamas still held to the cease-fire from the time it went into effect on June 19 until Israel effectively ended the truce on November 4 by launching an airstrike into Gaza that killed five and injured several others. Israel?s violation of the cease-fire predictably resulted in retaliation from militants..." Jennifer J, there is no evidence to support that Hamas are using 'human shields', it is merely a propaganda claim (after all, Israeli has - illegally again - blocked out journalists from entering and reporting from Gaza). In any case, the Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated strips of land in the world with 1.5m people - who are not there out of choice but were driven to Gaza by the Israeli Army in 1948, and originally lived in present-day Israel. Hence dropping leaflets then dropping bombs is pretty nonsensical (merely another propaganda move), and is STILL in contravention to the Geneva Convention - making their deaths a war crime. In any case, where have they got to 'evacuate' to? They are imprisoned in Gaza. Why should they 'evacuate' in the first place? After all, it is their homes. Point being Jennifer, dropping leaflets does not authorise you to bomb families to pieces. The 4 children clinging on to their dead mother will not accept your claim as an excuse. Ray-Here, I can sense that a lot of people probably don't have much compassion for you, but does that mean they can kill you? (more...)

Open Question: Colleges.....Please HELP!!!!?
Okay, I'm a 17-year-old senior, with a 3.5 GPA. I'm involved in many extracurricular activitys, including DECA, National Honor Society, Student Council, etc. I'm currently taking 4 AP courses (getting A's in 3 of them). I got 580 in Math, 690 in Writing, and 610 in Critical Reading on the SAT's (580 in Literature, and 590 in Math 1 on the SATSubject tests), and I've sent everything (application, essay, fee waivers, transcripts, 2 to 3 letters of recommendations per school to NYU, Boston College, Northeastern University, UCONN, Northwood University, Johnson & Wales, St. John's University, Hofstra University, and Post. I just got accepted into Northwood, and they're offering me a scholarship. At first, I was excited, but then I did a little research online, and found that people had many negative things to say about the school (like crime, quality issues, reputation). I want to know if any of this is true (from anyone who attends or knows about it). Also, what are my chances of being accepted into any of the other schools I listed, specifically NYU, Boston College, and Northeastern. Thanks a lot :). I'm also 29th out of 485 in class rank.

Voting Question: Construction Management Degree?
I work in the skilled trades (HVAC). I'm interested in getting a BS in Construction Management or something related so that one day I can be a project manager. However, because of my work schedule (I'm on call all the time) it would be impossible for me to complete a degree in a traditional classroom setting. So, I'm interested in getting a degree online from a regionally accredited school. I only found one school that offers a BS in Construction Technology online: Thomas Edison State College. They are one of the state colleges of New Jersey and they are regionally accredited. However, they are not recognized by ACCE (American Council for Construction Education). I'm not sure if it really matters though. They seem to award construction management certification to those don't have degrees from ACCE recognized programs anyway. But I'm not sure if it will be that way in the future. Your thoughts? BTW, please don't attempt to answer my question if you have no knowledge of the topic. Thanks. (more...)

Resolved Question: Trying to find friends from primary school?
I am trying to find people I went to primary school with 25 years ago. I have exhausted everything I can think of online (Facebook, Myspace, friendsreunited etc...) and have only managed to contact less than half the people. Are there any other ways I can get records of where they are now? Maybe through the council or something? It is made harder by the fact that I don't live in the UK any longer. Any help is appreciated. Cheers. Andy (more...)
