See striaght supernatural. I just proved to you that Israel has been singled out by the UN human rights group more than any single nation COMBINED. NK doesnt get off the hook cause of isolation, we are talking about a INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS group. THAT MEANS THEY ARE SUPPOSSED TO STOP INHUMANITY ACROSS THE GLOBE. What about SA, Iran, Leb, PA, ECT ECT many of whom are PART OF THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS GROUP. Are we seriously led to believe that Israel is so far behind these countries in human rights that they deserve double the resolutions then ALL COMBINED???? IRAN KILLS HOMOSEXUALS. Where is the resolution condemming them?????

Actually if I'm not mistaken, the original Egyptian mobilization that allegedly provoked the war only numbered 100,000. I believe the entire Arab commitment though the course of the war wasn't even 500,000.

Arab-Israeli conflict Quote:
| Please. It wasn't a one-way war; you're confusing Hitler with the Arabs. The Israelis had an equal part in it; in actuality it was the Israelis to fire first. As an occupation they have to abide by international law, which they have violated many times. Even the United States "officially" condemns Israeli settlements (though actions speak louder than words when they supply them with finances and military equipment). The reason why the United States officially condemns it is because they have to if they don't want to be implicated in encouraging rogue lawlessness and war crimes.

How do you figure it wasnt a one way war???? Under what authority did Egyp have the right to attempt to destroy Israel???? That land was given to them by the world body, Israel did nothing to provoke the surrounding arabs other than being Jewish.
And of cousre Israel fired first, they were being told they were about to be pushed into the sea, as they watched troops and equipment being stacked on there boarder. We are talking about a peoples right to exist, what else could they do, sit back and wait for the arabs to decide the right time for the next holocaust???
