2-0-Sixx, you're very set in stone about your hatred for Israel. You're always quoting facts and statements regarding Israeli "genocide" and how we're just a big ATM for Israel. So I'm going to paste some pro-Israeli material, and I'm interested in YOUR PERSONAL responses...PLEASE do not quote any other sites unless it's directly pertaining to the point I'm making. Lets not turn this into a big site-quoting spam war.
You post up pictures of Israeli soldiers killing Palestinian civilians and you're implying it was on purpose. It is not their fault terror suspects hide in the population.
Israel never intentionally targets civilians. Unfortunately, Palestinian terrorists have purposely tried to hide among the civilian population in an effort to use the Israeli army's morality against it. The terrorists themselves do not care about the lives of innocent Palestinians, which is why they are not hesitant to use them as shields. This behavior is a violation of international law. Article 51 of the 1977 amendment to the 1949 Geneva Conventions specifically prohibts the use of human shields:
The presence or movements of the civilian population or individual civilians shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations, in particular attempts to shield military objects from attacks or to shield, favor or impede military operations.
Thus, the Palestinian terrorists are ultimately responsible for noncombatants who are inadvertently killed or wounded as a result of the terrorists' practice of hiding among civilians to use them as shields.
You claim Israel is PURPOSELY committing a nazi-like genocide of the palestinian population, yet the Palestinian population has continued to explode.
In Gaza, for example, the population increased from 731,000 in July 1994 to 1,225,911 in July 2002, an increase of 68 percent. The growth rate was 3.95 percent, one of the highest in the world.
And in regards to our loans to Israel. Contrary to popular wisdom, the United States does not simply write billion dollar checks and hand them over to Israel to spend as they like. Only about 26 percent ($555 million of $2.1 billion in 2003) of what Israel receives in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) can be spent in Israel for military procurement. The remaining 74 percent is spent in the United States to generate profits and jobs. More than 1,000 companies in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have signed contracts worth billions of dollars through this program over the last several years.
