In 1999 NATO launched 2,300 missiles at 990 targets and dropped 14,000 bombs on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including depleted uranium bombs and cluster munitions. Over 2,000 civilians were killed, including 88 children, and thousands more were injured. Over 200,000 ethnic Serbs were forced to leave their homeland in Kosovo. NATO airstrikes destroyed more than 300 schools, libraries, and over 20 hospitals. At least 40,000 homes were either completely eliminated or damaged and about 90 historic and architectural monuments were ruined. (wikipagethingy)

This was done to control a Rogue state that threatened the Autonomy of Kosovo and was effectivley carrying out ethnic cleansing.

So, it appears that Israel has got off lightly as look what could have happened if NATO had become riled.

So, the question is,

What's the difference between Milosevic and Nethenyahu?

The right friends in the right places.

And related, what's the difference between NATO and the above two? That set of figures is very similar to Israels over the last few weeks.
 
Yes, it's interesting that the person who pushed thru the bombing of Serbia was Madeleine Albright, a really nasty piece of work and a zionist.
 
Tim Montgomerie (ex Conservative Home) just said on the telly news that he thought Hamas rocket attacks were 'equally horrific' as the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

Seriously?

A groups of nine activists today shut down a factory, one of two UK subsidiaries of Israeli arms firm Elbit.

UAV Engines Limited, in Shenstone, Lichfield (40 minutes north of Birmingham), makes drone engines. According to the Campaign Against the Arms Trade, these have been exported to Israel.

At 5am this morning, the group shut the main gates to the factory and scaled the eight-meter wall. The group are now camped on the roof, intending to close the factory for as long as possible, and have enough supplies to last a week, they say.

Speaking from the rooftop over the phone to The Electronic Intifada today, London Palestine Action activist Ewa Jasiewicz said they had successfully shut down the factory: it is completely closed, and the car park empty.

...

“The Palestinian people need more from us than Tweets, Facebook posts and and marches from A to B,” Jasiewicz said.

In an online video feed that was live for a time today, Jasiewicz stated through a loudspeaker her hope that more people would take action against factories such as this one and like the EDO MBM factory in Brighton.

A campaign against the factory led by the Smash EDO group has run in Brighton for years. EDO is an arms component factory known to have links with Israel.

“Britain needs to impose an arms embargo on Israel,” Jasiewicz said. “Crimes against humanity” are taking place in Gaza: “it’s not enough to look in horror at the television … action speaks louder than words,” she implored.

I didn't know who this bloke was until I looked him up now - turns out he's an evangelical Christian who thinks homosexuality is "evil". Ho fucking hum. (Ergo, I wouldn't trust his judgment on anything, especially not the Gaza situation)
 

That will be this place then

From here but there are pix on the electronicifitada site along with a vid

 
It's just overwhelming. I can't cope with the pictures coming out of Gaza - like ones from Iraq or Syria or WW1, the level of devastation, everything in people's lives completely smashed, homes, shops, streets, things they pass every day just gravel now. I have to shut down a bit.

Not that it's stopping me from being very very angry.

Milosevic died in the Hague, hopefully Netenyahu will follow soon.

Seeing as neither the US or Israel recognise the International Criminal Court, do you realistically see this happening? Sure, it would be good to have this happen in principle, but...
