OK, so... what's the alternative? Israel bombs Palestinian terrorist leaders (as they have been doing), at the cost of inevitable civilian casualties, to the outrage of those who are safe from the bulk of Palestinian aggression.
Either that, or Israel rolls over, surrenders to the the terrorists and are driven out of their homes (again) or killed. OOooohhhhhhh. Now I get it.... The World Court, the "principal judicial organ of the United Nations", which is widely known as an anti-semitic organization, couldn't possibly have any conflict of interest, could they?
Personally, I think it's time that the Israelis cut themselves loose from world opinion and just unilaterally took care of their terrorism problems, just as we are doing. How much longer are the Israelis going to tolerate this, I wonder?

see... i try to stay neutral in this... i know nobody comes up clean in the middle east when all is said and done... but for cry eye... a wall is against "humanitarian law and human rights instruments" - but somebody walking into a birthday party with high-explosives strapped onto him isn't??
sometimes ya just gotta say...
Posted by: Boileryard Clarke at July 11, 2004 01:19 AMThis over-simplifies what's going - the issue isn't entirely the wall, but exactly where it's being constructed. It's acting as a defense, yes, but it's also serving as a way to take over land that is universally agreed NOT to be Israeli. If you really think that the rest of the world is right and only the US and Israel are right, fine, buit I think it'd pay to consider the fact that if the US is the ONLY country that didn't sign that ruling, then there might just be something wrong going on.
