I am not trying to turn this into a pro-Israel

anti-UN blog, and forever be marked as "that freak that blindly supports Zionism", but I did find this of interest.

Last month, Palestinian terrorists made 287 attacks on Israel, including 157 rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel. The Israeli police operations in the West Bank have largely halted the deadly suicide bomb attacks on Israel. There have been 120 of these since the Palestinians began their current "war" on Israel in 2000. But new Israeli tactics have stopped nearly all the suicide bomber attacks in the last two years. However, these tactics require frequent police operations in the West Bank, to arrest terrorists who are planning suicide bomb attacks. The Palestinians consider these arrests to be aggression, and illegal.

The point being, is that there is supposed to be a ceasefire but I don't think the Palestinian terrorists want there to be a ceasefire. If they can continue to fire rockets at Israeli civilians, they know that the media will only point at the Israeli response. Let's look to the UN Commisioner for Human Rights and see what this "fair and balanced " office has to say about the recent Israeli-Hezbollah conflict.

In an interview published Friday, Ms. Arbour went further than moral equivalence between Hezbollah and Israel. She stated that the Jewish state actually bears more blame in the recent conflict than the terrorists who started the war in the first place. "In [the case of Hezbollah] you could have, for instance, a very objectionable intent -- the intent to harm civilians, which is very bad -- but effectively not a lot of harm is actually achieved," she said. "[But] how can you compare that with [Israel,] where you may not have an intent but you have recklessness [in which] civilian casualties are foreseeable? The culpability or the intent may not sound as severe, but the actual harm is catastrophic."

What she, former Supreme Court Justice Louise Arbour is stating, is that it was ok for Hizbollah terrorists to launch rockets and hide behind civilians, but there should be no response by the Israeli military, because they might hit the human shields the Hizbollah terrorists are hiding behind. Hizbollah of course denies it.

I know that Israel has done some things wrong, but why can the UN not do something to prevent the terrorists in Lebanon and Palestine from firing rockets? Or is that the jews fault too?

Update
Fortunately, Hamas feels they are doing the right thing.
