Anyways, if you do not trust the UN's methods (as evidenced by your distrust of the Ahtisaari commission), then why is this conclusion any more reliable?
Relying on preconception doesn't tell of an analytical mind, people...

It's not that they trust the UN, it's that many people here do. Of course, it seems to show that those who claim to trust the UN only do so when it supports what they want to believe, which would lead one to think that they are anti-what's that word?

Wait, who here isn't trusting the UN? Is this just another case of projection?

The Israelis.

I see the Israeli ACS spinmiesters are at work. Those schmucks. Eli I guess you forgot about the part where Israel blocked ambulances, food, etc?

This part seems to be skimmed over by Eli:

The report also looks into attacks on Palestinian cities by the Israeli army during the campaign.

It says that 497 Palestinians were killed during Israel's incursion into the West Bank, according to the diplomats, almost double the death toll of 262 reported by the Red Crescent Society in the Palestinian territories for the same period.

There was indeed a massacre.

If the US did it I would expect higher numbers, those are really low

You guys called it a massacre when five people died in Boston, as I recall...

EDIT: reworded

[faded glory]

Ya well the population of boston was what? 1500?

[faded glory]

btw who are "you guys". Im getting really sick of people on this forum lumping the actions of ancestors together with people today.

Try closer to 50,000, at least, fg.

By your logic, then, it's a-ok for Palestinian suicide bombers to carry out their deeds.

As long as we treat both sides equally, it's fine with me.

[faded glory]

Of course its fine with you. You hate Israel and you dont really care about palestine. You just hope they can kill as many israeli's as possible.

Moral Equivlancy is crap

[Jon Miller]

well, that was because we wanted a rebellion

it was all PR

a lot more died when Britain tried to take our cities

also there were a lot less people arround back then

what is true is that taking urban (or rural) areas of a hostile populace will result in deaths, no ifs ands or buts about it

the question than becomes, to determine wether it is a massacre or not, is wether the number of deaths was uneedfully high
