Today a UN observation post was hit by Israeli precision weapons. 4 UN soldiers were killed including a Canadian. Technically it's not an act of war since the UN is not a nation but this is some serious shit. Israel claims to have no knowledge of the UN presence at the base. The particular base has been in use by the UN since 1976, 30 years, and has never attempted to hide their identities. Israel claims it's policy is not to attack civilians or the UN. Khofi Annan (sp) is accusing Israel of knowingly attacking the outpost. Israel, with the most competent intel agencies in the world, made a boo boo. This is a perfect example of how
A) precision weapons are as precise as the CHOSEN target.
B) Israel disregards our concerns and would rather shoot first.
C) Israel is also gulity of terrorism.

Oh one point I forgot to mention. After the first strike, Israel waited for relief to come to rescue the UN officers, then struck again, to confirm the kills. Absolutely fucking sickening. This is the group you wish to defend? Both sides are wrong for what they are doing. I guess Israel might be getting the UN back for all the violations that were put on them for other acts of terrorism. Israel has offered an apology but how much more can be accepted that's outside the concensus of the reasonable world?

According to CNN.

Welcome to the fog of war.

Regardless - our prayers go to the fallen and their families.

Think of it this way - what the hell would Israel have to gain from blasting a UN outpost?

do you punish the manufacturer of the gun in murder trials? A tool is neither good nor evil, neither it its manufacturer. The morality lies in they who impliment it.

It sounds like Israel is slowly losing it. Do we defend and not interfere because we value their relationship, or do we take action and stop them?

Question, again:

What's been making Israel go crazy? Their desire to be recognized as a state?

fog -of-war is correct, IDF would gain nothing, they have shown in the past that they would gain nothing, this doesn't mean it wasn't them, but if it was I doubt it was purposeful

Manufacturer who rushes live feed of munition to Israel and Vetoes the immidiate ceasfire, pardon my cynicism but "Guns don't kill people" makes no sense here wouldn't you say ?

QFE

I don't have enough information to know if it was them and quite frankly neither does anyone here. What I do know is that absolutely nothing would be gained or proven by a strike against the UN.

What did the US have to gain in bombing the Chinese Embassy during the Bosnian conflict? Although it is interesting to see the conflicting reports, I have a hard time believing Hezbollah would bomb something in Lebanon.

Actually, gun manufacturers have been sucessfully sued in court over gun deaths.

no, I absolutely wouldn't say. Good luck proving an inanimate object guilty of war crimes.

I am entirely aware that gun manufacturers have been proven guilty of crimes, however those were exceptions and not the rule and had extenuating circumstances. If a gun is used in the manner in which it was intended and manufactured and not by utilizing an obvious exploit, the manufacturer is guilty of nothing. I further this by saying a woman successfully sued McDonalds for pouring coffee on her lap, PMS has been ruled a valid defense against felonous acts, twinkies have been used to acquit for murder, and OJ was judged innocent.

Exactly. Punishing the manufacturer (like many p***y Politicians have proposed) is like punishing ArmaLite when you get TK'ed by a noob with an M16.

I do not know the full story surrounding that, but I see one critical and defining difference. The Chinese Embassy is sovereign Chinese territory and property of China - not an international conglomerate of nations

This is off topic, but how do you feel about assualt weapons such as AR-15's being legal?

edit: And, my point was, it was a mistake as far as I am concerned. I have a hard time believing that Israel knowingly hit the UN outpost, but I have no problem attributing the blame to Israel. I further believe this shows that Israel is showing no restraint in lobbing and dropping bombs over the border.

Also, the fact that the Chinese Embassy was on soveriegn soil has no weight in this argument.
