I fail to see how the majority of these countries could be unfairly biased against Israel. Maybe Saudi Arabia and Libya, but Norway and Costa Rica??? Give me a break.

Oh I could give you a break - Read Colpys comments on the HR Agenda - Jews (Israel) first then the rest of the world - Yeah - Libya was on the committee - Right before he started slaughtering civilians - Iran was to lead the body ref Womens Rights. And you preach being impartial.

You'd be offline, thus out of existence.

Why would I be offline? Oh because Israel's oppressive policy towards Palestine makes it hard to get fully functioning electricity ? OH, because Israel's indiscriminate bombing of the Strip has destroyed important infrastructure obliterating any decent standard of living Gaza could have ????????????????????????????????

Anyone that spent 15 minutes watching Finklestein clearly understands that he has mental health issues.

No...quite brilliant in fact. Not letting his Jewish roots blind him of the fact that Israel is committing atrocities.

I trust Turkey will be withdrawing from occupied Cypress, removing it's settlers by force if neccessary, just like Israel did from Gaza, forthwith, right? Right!?

The NYT leaked the Report of the Secretary-General’s Panel of Inquiry on the 31 May 2010 Flotilla Incident.
What? No response to me showing how you demonize Israel?

Read the report TP. The IDF used excessive and unreasonable force, not just on the Mavi Marmara, but against everyone on all vessels. Even people who offered no resistance were attacked and severely injured. Based on the forensic evidence, it appears, (though it can't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt) that the IDF killed some people execution style AFTER they were subdued.

Here is the link again:
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/world/Palmer-Committee-Final-report.pdf

If your neighbor puts up a no trespassing sign, he can't shoot you in the middle of the street, because you intended to trespass. That would also be an example of using unreasonable and excessive force.

The IDF acted in international waters, not in the blockade area. Israel did not warn the ships before boarding. They did not attempt non-violent means first to enforce their blockade. They initiated the use of force and lethal force. The IDF attacked and injured people who were behaving non-violently. The IDF used lethal force against people who were either passive or not using lethal force.

Therefore Israel is responsible for the resulting injuries and deaths.
There you go again, more demonization.

Even if the cop is way out of his jurisdiction? :lol:
Like you're way out of your league?

A lot more video images were taken during this event, than the little bit which was released by the IDF. It took 45 minutes from the time the IDF commandos first landed on the deck of the Mavi Marmara until it was completely subdued. Where is the rest of the video?

The fact is, most of the IDF video is missing. What they released has been edited and probably tampered with. The little bit they did release is out of context and may even be deliberately falsified. At a minimum, the above video is selective information propaganda that would not be allowed in a court of law as evidence. Raw, unedited video would be evidence. Israel has(had) this evidence, but they won't release it. If Israel has nothing to hide, then they should release all the raw video not just selected/edited/tampered parts which support their version of events. What happened before and after the above edited footage is just as important as what appears to have happened in the above video.

The committee investigating this incident for the UNHRC reported that they saw a video of the IDF shooting a person. He was armed with a fire hose when he was shot. A fire hose is not a lethal weapon. They also reported that some victims may have been shot after they had been subdued. In one case, the forensic evidence suggests the victim was laying face down at the time they were shot at close range to the back of the head. I've never seen a person laying face down attack someone. I suppose its possible, but the Israeli representative was not able to provide a logical explanation as to how someone laying face down can attack someone. The only reasonable explanation which matches the forensic evidence was that he was executed after he was subdued.

The IDF probably has videos of these events which could provide answers, because they videoed everything apparently, yet they have with held this evidence from the investigating committee? While that's not a clear admission of guilt, it does indicate they have something to hide.
Yet more demonization.
