Israel calls Brazil a ‘diplomatic dwarf’ – and then brings up World Cup humiliation

Besides, these things that happened more than 50 years ago hold no weight in the modern world. Britain colonised India and Pakistan for 200 hundred years and today , Britain is an ally of both countries and there are millions of Pakistanis and Indians who would love to get their hands on a British citizenship and move there. Similarly, US dropped a nuclear weapon on Japan in 1945 and US-Japan are big allies today.

The way your zionazi pals sing the holocaust song doesn't back up what you say about crimes happening fifty years ago!
 
when was the last time the israeli national team even qualified for the world cup? and how many olympic medals did israel win in the last olympics?
 
Well no smoke without fire.Brazil did act rather stupidly,they should have stuck to just light lip service.
 
Behold -- the diplomatic giant that brings everyone to its fold, or something:

Terrorists be damned.The civilian casualties are unfortunate but a harsh reality of the collateral damage in wars,any wars.

Please, use your critical skills less miserly. When hospitals, schools and beaches where no one but children kicking ball are seen get bombed, one can't talk of collateral damage - it's intentional damage. And very few of these "terrorists" have been killed in Israel's campaign - many more children have; when you say "be damned", you're addressing mainly children, not armed fighters.

When civilian structures and facilities are used for military purposes they become a legitimate target under international law.Maybe you should use your persuasive skills to hamas to convince them to desist from using civilian structures for military purposes,especially war crimes against international and terrorism.

Repeating something often is a good way to convince people it's true, and that's the case for the myth that Hamas uses civilian structures for military aims when civilians are inside.

You won't believe anything I say but I hope you're rational enough to pay attention to what investigators on the ground have said:

This is from the BBC's Middle East editor: New Statesman | Jeremy Bowen's Gaza notebook: I saw no evidence of Hamas using Palestinians as human shields

This is from Amnesty International: "Amnesty International is aware of these claims, and continues to monitor and investigate reports, but does not have evidence at this point that Palestinian civilians have been intentionally used by Hamas or Palestinian armed groups during the current hostilities to “shield” specific locations or military personnel or equipment from Israeli attacks. "

Israeli allegations of human shield use by Hamas during previous conflicts turned out to be equally mendacious:

About the 2009 war, Amnesty only found evidence of Israeli human shield use:
“Amnesty International on Thursday accused Israeli forces of war crimes, saying they used children as human shields and conducted wanton attacks on civilians during their offensive in the Gaza Strip...
“It could not support Israeli claims that Hamas used human shields. It said it found no evidence Palestinian fighters directed civilians to shield military objectives from attacks, forced them to stay in buildings used by militants, or prevented them from leaving commandeered buildings.”​

Amnesty's finding was ratified by the UN:
“We found no evidence that Hamas used civilians as hostages. I had expected to find such evidence but did not. We also found no evidence that mosques were used to store munitions. ”​

I said civilian structures,from the times of Israel.A single reporter's testimony can hardly be taken as fact as the war zone is quite large for a single person to cover.
How about you stop getting personal,a sign of your incompetence and frustration of your lies being not accepted,and practise what you preach?
20 missiles found in UN-run school in Gaza
UNRWA apologizes to Israel, condemns a ‘flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises’ and promises investigation; Israel calls on UN to ‘act strongly’


20 rockets were found Wednesday in a school in Gaza operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the organization confirmed Thursday

The weapons were found in “the course of the regular inspection of its premises,” UNRWA said in a statement.adding that the school was vacant.

“UNRWA strongly condemns the group or groups responsible for placing the weapons in one of its installations. This is a flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises under international law,” the statement read.

The discovery would seem to confirm Israel’s oft-repeated claim that Hamas and other Gazan terror groups use civilian infrastructure to hide weapons.

“Yet again, Gaza terrorists abuse UN facilities to carry out their violent activities. Hamas and other terror groups are determined to put civilians in harm’s way and will respect nothing in their violent frenzy,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yigal Palmor told The Times of Israel. “We expect the UN and the international community to condemn and to act strongly against this brazen violation of international humanitarian law, which endangers children and UN humanitarian activities.”



This incident was “the first of its kind in Gaza,” the organization said, adding that it “endangered civilians including staff and put at risk UNRWA’s vital mission to assist and protect Palestinian refugees in Gaza.”

UNRWA informed all officials immediately after discovering the rockets, and “successfully took all necessary measures for the removal of the objects in order to preserve the safety and security of the school.”

Officials from the agency, which has a reputation in Jerusalem of being exceedingly critical of Israeli policies vis-à-vis the Palestinians, have been summoned to the Foreign Ministry. They have apologized to Israel for the incident, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said.

UNRWA has launched a “comprehensive investigation” into the incidence, the statement said.

The agency, charged with taking care of the welfare of Palestinian refugees, has “strong, established procedures to maintain the neutrality of all its premises, including a strict no-weapons policy and routine inspections of its installations, to ensure they are only used for humanitarian purposes,” its statement read. “UNRWA will uphold and further reinforce its procedures.”

From human rights watch regarding war crimes committed by hamas under international law-


(New York) - Hamas's latest claim that its rocket attacks against Israel are not war crimes is factually and legally wrong, Human Rights Watch said today.

On January 27, 2010, Hamas authorities in Gaza released the summary of an internal report that tried to clear itself and other Palestinian armed groups of laws-of-war violations during last year's hostilities with Israel. The report says that rocket attacks into Israel only targeted military objectives, and that civilian casualties were an unintended result.

"Hamas can spin the story and deny the evidence, but hundreds of rockets rained down on civilian areas in Israel where no military installations were located," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "Hamas leaders at the time indicated they were intending to harm civilians."
