Yeah the UN has always been fair to Israel.
hno:The UN is now watching, er, "monitioring" Hez rearm in Lebanon as it prepares for the next round of war with Israel.

I understand your frustrations. Sometimes I wish the whole damn thing would go away.
But sometimes, when you don't go to hell, hell comes to you, like 911.
I'm pissed with the money and support my government gives to these Israelis. They betray us with their conduct and policies. Everytime something like this happens I feel like I got a target on my back with some Arab on the other side of the scope.
Who's freaking retarded idea was it to put millions of displaced Jews from Europe in the middle-east surrounded by Arabs? Who the fuck comes up with shit?!
Hey Scott....Do you believe that blacks use race as an excuse to take advantage of the "System" so to speak...? I do.....Do you believe White Guilt has been used by Blacks as a way to blur the line between right and wrong when it comes to Criminal and Dysfunctional behavior on behalf of Black People? I do...
And thats comin from a black fella..so I think you know where I am going with this..
Can Jews do the same?
HonestReporting Special Alert

"COMING SOON? HAMAS' MEDIA MASSACRE"
* * *
Dear HonestReporting Subscriber,
The media is a potent weapon in the hands of terrorists and Israel has been on the receiving end
many times. As HonestReporting has documented in its interactive Big Lies resource
(http://tinyurl.com/5cv3zd), Palestinians have scored PR victories in the cases of Mohammed al-
Dura, the Jenin "massacre", the Gaza Beach incident, staged photos from the 2006 Lebanon War and
many other Pallywood productions.
With Israeli troops operating on the ground in Gaza and Hamas increasingly backed into a corner,
Professor Richard Landes (http://tinyurl.com/799vae) warns of what may be around the corner:
"Whether by Israeli accident or Hamas engineering, expect a spectacular civilian massacre in
the coming days, followed by an orgy of Pallywood photography, amplified by a compliant Western
media, and even greater fury in the streets of the Muslim and Western world. It's in the Hamas
playbook. and will be until the media gets sober. Here's the background, and the obscenity that
will probably be played....
The pattern has long been clear, and most recently carried out with explosive effectiveness
in the Lebanon war of 2006. when Israel is winning, get yourself a civilian massacre. Make sure
that you have shocking civilian casualties that rally all the key players to your side - the
other Arab nations and groups and individuals who are secretly, quietly rooting for your defeat,
but who, once the images of dead children appear on the TV screens, watch the Arab street riot,
and eventually can't avoid siding with you, the "victim" ... the European leaders and diplomats
who piously kept an even-handed approach in the hopes that Israel might swiftly decapitate the
snake ... and the journalists and talking heads who have been chomping at the bit to jump on
Israel for their disproportionate response.
But what if the Israelis don't make a mistake and kill a significant number of people in one
blow, like Gaza Beach or Kfar Qana? Would Hamas actually concoct a massacre of their own people? ..."
Read Professor Landes' complete article here - http://tinyurl.com/799vae
Hamas continues to fire rockets on Israeli towns and cities, operating from within civilian
areas, using human shields with total disregard for its own people in Gaza. It is inevitable
that Palestinian civilian casualties will occur despite Israel's best efforts to avoid this
scenario. The media has been fooled by Pallywood productions many times in the past. This time,
we expect another libel to appear.
HonestReporting is putting the mainstream media on notice. Reporting Palestinian claims at face
value, creating a new Big Lie and failing to retract or apologize later is unacceptable. The
media has been forewarned.
DOUBLE STANDARDS - PROVING OUR POINT
In all of the above cases, the media failed to verify Palestinian claims, placing ultimate trust
in "Palestinian eyewitnesses" or so-called "human rights" organizations that are actually
Palestinian advocacy groups. All too often the media is happy to accept, without question, the
Palestinian version of the story. And yet, we never see the Palestinian narrative described as
"propaganda".
The current conflict is also taking place on the airwaves, in the printed press and online.
Israeli spokespeople have quite legitimately taken the initiative to get the message out during
the Gaza operation. The effectiveness (particularly when compared with past operations) has
itself created news stories in some media outlets.
But why does the BBC's Paul Reynolds (http://tinyurl.com/7s26do) consider the Israeli message to
be "propaganda?" And why does he treat IDF video sources with such skepticism, particularly in
stark contrast to Palestinian sources? Instead Reynolds states:
"The Israeli propaganda effort is being directed to achieve two main aims.
The first is to justify the air attacks. The second is to show that there is no humanitarian
calamity in Gaza.
Both these aims are intended to place Israel in a strong position internationally and to
enable its diplomacy to act as an umbrella to fend off calls for a ceasefire while the military
operation unfolds.
Israel has pursued the first aim by being very active in getting its story across that Hamas
is to blame. The sight of Hamas rockets streaking into Israel has been helpful in this respect.
It has also allowed trucks in with food aid and has stressed that it will not let people
starve, even if they go short.
Israel appears to think its efforts are working.
One of its spokespeople, who has regularly appeared on the international media, Major Avital
Leibovich, said: "Quite a few outlets are very favourable to Israel.""
Why is this a "propaganda effort" and why should Israel have to justify defending its citizens
against Hamas rocket attacks?

So what you're saying is that Israel hasn't massacred hundreds of children?
That's what you call collateral damage?
Maybe you should have also been nominated as Kook of the Year, you believe in some wild conspiracy where terrorists control all the world's mass media and are producing thousands of fake stories about Israel killling hundreds of innocent civilians.

Well, I guess you're entitled to your opinions, but anyone who dares disagree with you or present evidence contrary to your "facts" is calling you "anti-semitic".
LOFL anyway. So now the Israelis are responsible for the anti-Israeli verbiage that the Guardian uses. Can't make this stuff up.
