#3 It would seem that one has to be human to understand human rights. Unfortunately the Israli administration currently hasnât evolved like the rest of the human race.

Is that supposed to mean that Israeli admin. will become human when they will start indiscriminate killing of Palestinians? Perhaps something deeper?

#4 A succession of humane Israeli administrations have shown superhuman concern for human rights by not simply removing to Jordan -- aka the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine -- Arabs from Judea-Samaria, as Jews were cleansed from the lands of Arabs without compensation or the right of return.

#7 Yeah, I'd like the email address too, so I can ask the Red Thingy what their position is on the wall being built in India, and soon in Thailand...both being built due to Islamic crazies.
I mean surely they have a strong position on these walls too, right?...right??

#8 Crux, it's not "Israli", it's "Zionist Entity". Read your Asshat Handbook, will ya? Do it right!

#10 Fred, I don't know why the poster chose to name his/herself Cruex, but I have a funny story about the product. During Plebe Summer, with all the hummidity in the Annapolis area, a large percentage of male midshipmen develop crotch-rot. Anyway, you're restricted to base so you can't go out in town to buy Cruex. Well, the Midshipman store runs out of Cruex in the middle of my 6-week, see. But my roomate still has a can of Dessinex for athletes-foot. You can guess the rest but it involves me yowling in pain and doesn't have much to do with the Palestinian question.... Hey, actually it might. I get the same type of pain whenever a new asshat post another Spodeydope Appologist piece.

#11 I sent my question to "anotari.gva@icrc.org"; she's supposed to be the Red Thingy's spokeman, er "spokesperson". I asked:

Since the ICRC has taken a stance on the wall being built by Israel, I'm
curious as to your position on the wall being built by Saudi Arabia along
its border with Yemen. Yemen claims the wall is being built, in some
sections, inside their territory. Saudi Arabia claims the wall is being
built to keep out infiltrators from Yemen.

Does the ICRC have a position on this? If not, why not? If so, what is the
reasoning behind this position?

Thank you!

No answer, yet. I don't expect one, ever.

#12 Anyone know the Red thingie's position on the deliberate targetting and murder-in-cold-blood of innocent men, women, and children by Hamas or the PA?

And I dont just mean in Israel but Iraq, Saudi-arabia, Thailand, Indoneasia, etc.....

Anyone??

#13 CrazyFool -- they're too worried about Club Gitmo to concern themselves with that stuff.

#14 I guess I missed the red cross' condemnation of the paleos using ambulances to transport explosives.

But hey...they've had a bias against Israel from the beginning. they allow the red crescent and some other red thing to be affiliated with them. 'won't allow a red Mogen David, the Israeli version because of some trumped up, whatever fu*ked up reasons.
