Alright. Do you sincerely believe the US has a better track record than Israel concerning human rights? And I agree, the US isn't the first place as far as human rights go. But the places that are the "first place", pretty much exist thanks to the presence or actions of the US. It is easy...

Higher than the US itself? BTW, the US also supports Pakistan and Egypt in billions of dollars in aid.

First of all it wasn't in the West Bank, but in the Gaza strip. Secondly, remote is of course in urban terms. The outpost is a few hundred meters from the borders of the town (and not in the way to anything relevant to the town's inhabitants), with the area between the outpost and the town...

It's in Hebrew.

Sorry if I have confused anyone, I didn't remember the exact details of the event, but I searched in the Israeli press for information about the trial. The officer was acquitted because the court decide the soldier's testimony that the officer shot at the body to "confirm the kill" was false...

Basically, to sum things up - this area was declared a "hot area" since two weeks before a militant entered the zone and killed two soldiers and an officer. There was specific intelligence about Palestinian intentions to attack the area, and all of the soldiers were sleeping in the secured...

Honestly, considering almost all the evidence was altered and sloppy, and the testifying soldiers found guilty of perjury, it doesn't sound that fishy or indefensible. The Israeli judicial system, barring few odd cases (such as the rape one discussed earlier, which was decided, btw - by a very...

Or the evidence sounds terribly planned and altered to lead to a specific and desired verdict. Spoiler: The defence managed to prove in court perjury by the soldiers, factual errors by the plaintiff and altered transcripts of the military radio. Anecdote: The commander wasn't Jewish, but...

Using methods of intentional targeting of children and women, armament of children and women and bringing the warfare to civilian areas - which was the original point, wasn't it? Not arguing about whether Israel is oppressive or not.

15,000 armed members just in Gaza, just in the Hamas. That's not few, but whatever.

This is a very old case, but it's ludicrous to take the acquittal in this case and claim it says anything about the morality of the Israeli society or the IDF. It is somewhat similar of taking the acquittal of O.J Simpson and say that it means the American society supports murderers. This...

The general problem with genetic therapy is the introduction of cancer, not by mutation, but by alterting the genetic sequence in the cells reintroduced to the body. Think of a gene sequence as: A-X, Where's A tells the cells how much does the body want X to be produced. Now, in...

http://www.mideastweb.org/lastmaps.htm Enlighten us? :)

At least have the decency to quote in context. The quote is about intelligence assessment pre-operation "Cast Lead". The article continues with: "The first rocket strike on Beersheba, which was quickly followed by several more, confirms the worst fears of Israeli military intelligence that...
