"Israel must be held accountable for any violations of human rights and humanitarian law, Muslim nations said in a draft Organisation of the Islamic Conference statement"
Did heads of government and the cream of world Muslims need to travel half way around the world to say this? What is their own responsibility? War is not a breakdown of negotiations, but an extension of it. If Chiite terrorists think hatred-engineered Islam is a strategy, then they should accept to confront Isreali firepower.
The declaration above seems to read "We can only be held accountable for what we do" False! Muslim nations, meeting in Malaysia seem to forget there is a concept like "crime by ommision". Hezbollah is represented in the Lebanese Parliament, which means the state of Lebanon cautions Hezbollah's activity. How does Lebanon expect Israel to react, when the President of Lebanon thanks Hezbollah for its "sacrifices"? No Muslim, Arabic or Mid-Eastern country has condemned Hezbollah attacks on Israel, although the Chiite Militia fires an average of 75RPG's per day into Israel.
What accountability are we talking about? War is the only generally accepted form of violence. It is the only form of violence codified by laws - "Geneva Conventions". Its is but normal, that a reaction to terrorist activity be disproportionate. A propos ... "disproportionate" as opposed to what? Peace?
It's almost 60yrs since the state of Israel was established as a democracy. Arabs do not seem to realise that, the land they are fighting for is getting smaller by the day. Arabs need to understand that hatred is not a good enough motivation factor to fight Israelis. Hatred is a primitive instinct that will never produce a rational result.
