UN talks of war crimes for Israel but not for Hizbullah!
More than 60 people, most of them Lebanese civilians, were killed yesterday on the bloodiest day of the Middle East conflict so far.

As the violence continued the United Nations raised the possibility that civilian deaths could lead to war crimes charges. Lebanon said 300 people had been killed in eight days of Israeli air strikes and artillery barrages. 500,000 Lebanese flee the carnage by Tim Butcher

This is part of the far left dementia. Lets see Hezbollah fires rockets and kidnaps two Israeli soldiers. They have held another Ron Arad for twenty plus years. They hide amongst civilians and prevent some from leaving the war zone.

However there is a mental rot that accompanies being a member of the far left. In reality there is and never has been a Palestinian ethnicity. If the argument is framed correctly as Pan Arabism then support for Palestinians is near zero.

If and when the Hezbolah cells in the USA strike the same far leftards will blame Israel rather then the perpetrators.

I honestly don't even understand what the "war crimes" would be. Hizbollah started a war. Israel fought back. Where are the war crimes?

I'm being honest. I don't get it.

Excellent point! It's exactly as you say: Israel is fighting back. Period.

As I see it, the U.N. is anti-Semitic.

Beak is absolutely correct: If and when the Hezbolah cells in the USA strike the same far leftards will blame Israel rather then the perpetrators.
