US vetos resolution condeming Israel for killing UN workers

Real smart when the US is attempting to gain Arab support for the conquest of Iraq in the name of the Shrubby Imperium. But I suppose nothing better can be expected from a nation ruled by imperialist savages.

This is not new. The U.S. wouldn't even vote to condemn an unprovoked attack by Israel on the USS Liberty in international waters that killed 19 of our servicemen and wounded over a hundred more. We just kept sending money. Can't keep the second coming waiting you know.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Well the US is always doing something stupid like that when it comes to Israel and the funny thing is that we actually think that what we are doing is right. :roll:

Bah.The iraqui military will be soon reduce to rubble.The syrians do not have the soviets anymore to rebuild their army every time the get their asses kicked by the israelis.The only power left is Egypt.Let us see how long will their abrams last without US made spare parts.
And the iranians if they get their IRBMs to work and decide that being reduced into a radioactive wasteland is a worth price for being able to have some chances to nuke an israelian city.

The funny thing is this, if I am to 'bash' or critisise Israel, people would scream anti-Semite at me. Now if I turn around and say; so you admit that Israel is a fascist, un-secular state based upon a religious system where non-Jews have no rigths? They respond; that's bullshit! Israeli-Palestinians have rights!

Well why should they be condemned? They investigated it at the time and it turned out the UN workers were killed by accident. They thought they were Pali terrorists.

Come off it. There was no firefight anywhere near the compound, and the lame excuse offered up was "we thought his cellphone was a gun" ... great excuse for a bullet in the back.

So we point out:

a.) Israel is a democracy.
b.) Israeli high court said Jewish Religious law can not be enforced against a persons will.
c.) In the Middle East only in Israel do Arabic woman have the right to vote.

How is our position confused? Where are we changing our minds?

Like the time the suicide bomber fall down trying to get on the bus. The driver thought he was having a heart attack, so he started CPR. But when he ripped open the man's shirt, they found the bomb. (BTW, the bus driver had to pin him to the ground so he couldn't set it off.)

You can't tell by looking at someone if they are a terrorist. You can't even tell by looking at someone if they are Arabic. That's a fucking racists attitude that we in the West seem to have.

Oh, just FYI, the same thing is happened with the Police in the US. Cell phones, TV remotes, wallets, etc. have all been mistaken for guns. And when a single suicide bombers can take out dozens of people you can't always wait for confirmation.

Granted, even the Israelis have admitted their troops are a little trigger happy, but I can't imagine why? So what if there are weekly attempted suicide bombings. That's not reason to get nervous.

I thought women in Iraq could vote and I'm certain that Arabic women in Turkey can vote. Just a nitpick.

No, vote for me in 2030! If elected, I promise to embezzle billions of dollars and flee to a country without an extradition treaty.
Don't hate; appreciate!

No, vote for me in 2028! If a candidate, I will promise to do all sorts of crap nobody wants, and when election day comes and I get 5% of the popular vote, I will point out that 5%, and say how they wanted me, and shouldn't be offended, and that I should be elected. And, to eliminate pork-barrel spending, I'll make sure all my cabinet members are vegitarians. Then, I will raise taxes, so make sure essential government programs continue, like lapdances for FBI agents, and affirmitave action, to make sure every disabled, illiterate black crackmother has as much as a chance of getting a job as someone who actually has experience.
