Fu to us foreign policy

[Cunt-Twat]

can we all agree that geralo is a stupid mother fucker, and knows nothing, therefore can not be a "middle east expert"???

**edit: HonestReporting.com notes that the "credibility of Palestinian 'witnesses'
was barely questioned (despite the horrific Palestinian history of
fabricating false claims)," and that "equal space was not given to Israeli
spokesmen to present their case regarding Jenin." The organization raises
the following questions to the British media:
"Why did these articles fail to explain that sending Israeli soldiers in
for ground combat puts soldiers in grave danger, but greatly minimizes
civilian casualties?
"Why not contrast this to the huge damage (in comparison) wrought by the
powerful bombs dropped by planes - an option Israel did not use in Jenin,
but which American and Europeans used in every war including Afghanistan,
to avoid risking their soldiers in such operations. No other army in the
world would have acted as the IDF.
"Why does the British media gloss over the facts of the fierce fighting
that occurred in Jenin? Why do they not clarify that hundreds of
Palestinian gunmen were consistently firing on Israeli soldiers? With such
large numbers of gunmen insisting on "fighting to the death," there are
bound to be numerous casualties.
"Why does the media fail to mention that much of the devastation in Jenin
was caused not by Israeli soldiers, but by Palestinians themselves blowing
up buildings in attempts to kill IDF soldiers. In fact, 13 soldiers died in
one such booby-trapped building.
"Why did these article fail to describe how in many cases Palestinian
militants refused to let Palestinian civilians leave Jenin -- a strategy
which undoubtedly contributed to more civilian casualties? In terms of the
deaths of civilians, the catalyst for the whole Jenin operation was the
daily slaughter of Israeli civilians at the hands of Palestinian
terrorists. This was a defensive war that Israel did not choose. Contrast
how Palestinians are specifically targeting civilians, whereas Israel is
targeting those terrorists who kill civilians.
"Why do these refugee camps exist in the first place? The camps are in
Area A - territory totally controlled by Arafat and the Palestinian
Authority. Arafat received hundreds of millions of dollars in international
aid, yet these refugees have never been given adequate housing and
facilities by Arafat. Why not?"
