#1 UN logic

Hamas launches of missiles against civilians is good.

IDF counter-terror actions is bad.

Makes sense to a moron.

#2 Why Israel even *has* border crossings into Gaza is the real mystery. They should have long ago unilaterally declared Gaza to be autonomous, then cut them off entirely from Israel. Including power and fuel.

Then Israel could just shrug and say, "Not our problem". And shoot anyone who tries to cross the border. That is fully consistent with international law, and how other countries do it.

Every time the lob a rocket or mortar round over the border, respond with an artillery barrage directed at the *vicinity* of where the rocket or mortar came from.

If it kills civilians, the Israelis just shrug, and say they were responding to an attack, and have the right to do so. If their enemy launches an attack from a civilian area, it loses its protection, again, under international law.

And that is the bottom line. Israel only has problems because it wants to be "half friendly" to people who hate it. If it would just treat them like other nations treat their enemies, it wouldn't have as much of a problem.

#4 The UN seems pretty damn good at condemning Israel for trying to protect its citizens against the uncivilized blood thirsty Palestinians. Where's the UN condemnation when the Palestinian rockets land on Israeli territory and take innocent lives.

The UN proves itself to be more and more useless everytime one of them opens their mouth.
