*UPDATED* (Now with Subtitles) The Israeli Spokesman (Australian born!) Merk Regev, accepts that Hamas did NOT violate the Ceasefire UNTIL AFTER Israel attacked the Gaza Strip on the 4th November! This proves that it was ISRAEL that broke the ceasefire!
# Amnesty slams Israel 'war crimes' Most Palestinian casualties are unjustifiable, Amnesty says Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing war crimes in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. The rights group's report for 2004 says Israeli forces have killed some 700 Palestinians - including 150 children - mostly in unlawful circumstances. The report lists "reckless shooting, shelling and air strikes in civilian areas... and excessive use of force". It also condemns the killing of Israeli civilians by Palestinian militants and violence by Jewish settlers. "Certain abuses committed by the Israeli army constituted crimes against humanity and war crimes," Amnesty's report says. "The deliberate targeting of civilians by Palestinian armed groups constituted crimes against humanity," it adds. An Israeli opposition MP has requested an urgent parliamentary debate on the report. But an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman denied the charge of war crimes and said Amnesty's analysis appeared "one-sided". The report says Palestinian armed groups killed 109 Israelis, including 59 civilians and eight children, in suicide bombings, shootings and mortar attacks. 'Impunity' Amnesty's accusations against the Israeli army include unlawful killings, torture, extensive and wanton destruction of property, obstruction of medical assistance and targeting of medical personnel.

The report accuses Israel of offering impunity to soldiers and settlers who commit crimes against Palestinians. "In the overwhelming majority of the thousands of cases of unlawful killings and other grave human rights violations in the previous four years, no investigations were known to have been carried out," the report says. "The Israeli army and police ... routinely increased restrictions on the local Palestinian population in response to attacks by Israeli settlers," it adds. Dire situation In addition to the report's focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Amnesty criticises a number of regimes in neighbouring Arab countries. Palestinian suicide bombings are "crimes against humanity" Egypt and Syria are blamed for systematic torture and ill-treatment of political prisoners. In Saudi Arabia, Amnesty highlights killings by security forces and armed groups, exacerbating the "already dire human rights situation in the country". Jordan is said to have made scores of political arrests, amid reports of torture and ill-treatment in custody. In Iraq, the report says US-led forces committed gross human rights violations, including unlawful killings, arbitrary detention and torture. Armed groups in Iraq are similarly blamed for targeting civilians, hostage-taking and killing hostages.

thesniper707 - the blockade is because the only reason hamas exists is to destroy israel. see their charter & actions since taking power. they hold the civilian palestinians hostage to their fundamentalist reason for death.

alright, according to you Israel wants peace but it hasn't find a suitable partner to negotiate with. Am i right? If so, then why did it continue to build settlements in the West Bank and Gaza strip?
2GfH345N :
You are conveniently ignoring one crucial fact! Since Hamas took over the government, there has been a blockade, boycott from the US and the EU and withholding of tax revenue by Israel...how do you expect the Palestinians to be better off in such situations???
thesniper707 - after the 1967 war when israel was obliged to take control of palestinians, israel looked for someone to talk to. any palestinian who took initiative was killed by syrian/plo agents. israel asked local mayors & police to stay on job. syria/plo killed their families, scared S**t out of them & they had to quit. there has never been a palestinian people/state/government in world's history, syria considered area to be south syria. refugees kept in barbed-wire camps by arabs.

Al-Qaeda grew out of the Services Office,a clearinghouse for the international Muslim brigade opposed to the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In the 1980s, the Services Office—run by bin Laden and the Palestinian religious scholar Abdullah Azzam—recruited, trained, and financed thousands of foreign mujahadeen, or holy warriors."
RuflessRecords...read this from the Council of Foreign Relations in the US...now tell me they too are part of the conspiracy theory?

"average unemployment rates in the WBGS during the 1980s were generally under 5%"
"Until the mid-1990s, up to 150,000 people -- about a fifth of the Palestinian labor force -- entered Israel each day."
RuflessRecords,
Haha you are so funny....now Wikipedia is also part of the conspiracy theory!...get a life man!

"thesniper707 - do yourself a favor. speak with any middle-aged palestinian, without a hamas censor behind him. he'll tell you about the good old days before arafat took control."
If it was good old days during Arafat's time, why there haven't been peace? Why haven't there been a Palestinian state till now?
Wikipedia isn't a source, how pathetic is it that someone who distrusts all media as "zionist" trusts a source anyone can change, but nonetheless it is accurate that we funded the resistance against the Soviets. However, there is no evidence we funded OBL. There is no evidence we ever met OBL. He was a non-person then. We dealt with 5 or 6 major Afghan warlords. We did not create Alqaeda. This fairytale has its origins in the fact that we and the jihadists were both fighting Soviets.

No warning, no declaration. Nothing is sacred to the enemies of the Jews.

"At the same time, a growing number of foreign Arab mujahedeen (also called Afghan Arabs) joined the jihad against the Afghan Marxist regime, facilitated by international Muslim organizations, particularly the Maktab al-Khidamat,[44] whose funds came from some of the $600 million a year donated to the jihad by the Saudi Arabia government and individual Muslims - particularly wealthy Saudis who were approached by Osama bin Laden.[45]"
