davidylan: Not Allah, God. Go read your Bible. God has punished Israel many times before for their stubbornness and penchant for disobedience and killing prophets (a long list!). That state of Israel is an eye sore to civilization! A state claiming to be a Jewish state and at the same time claiming to be democratic is laughable. How democratic can a state based on religion/ethnic identity be? |

princekevo: Forget about making the world safe. The only language hypocritical America and evil Israel understand is FORCE/POWER. The Soviets understood this and amassed enough nuclear arsenal to make the most idiotic trigger-happy blood-thirsty SOB in the US military think real hard before hitting any Soviet targets. Soviet potentially apocalyptic retaliation put the COLD in "cold war"! America was punished severely in Vietnam and ran with their tail between their legs as Soviet-backed North Vietnamese forces took Saigon. The fools who thought about using a nuclear device against the North Vietnamese were reminded of the intimidating Soviet arsenal, whose deployment on earth had/has the potential of ending life as we know it. This is the kind of energetic resistance, uncompromising arsenal, fiendish force that America (and her errant adopted stubborn ward Israel) understand. Not talk, only proof of destructive force! Iran and North Korea must continue working very hard. China must not relent. Russia must maintain considerable deterrence. America and Israel only understand force/power and any nation not ready to dance to their tune of deception must work hard towards achieving considerable deterrence against these two nations. |

princekevo: Excellent analysis! A+. The US continues her foolish foreign policy of supporting Jewish evil against innocent Christians and Muslims. America has no moral standing to blame China for not condemning the sinking of the South Korean vessel that killed 48/49? South Koreans, when they refuse to condemn Israel for willfully killing innocent civilians. As long as American idiocy continues with supporting 1. North Korea: They must build more nuclear bombs to checkmate US Zionist agenda. 2. Iran: Must make haste to build more centrifuges, long-range missiles and nuclear warheads to halt increasing American/Zionist pro-Jewish anti-Christian anti-Muslim agenda. Chinese and Russian officials must not miss this blatant US support for carnage and do everything possible under the sun to frustrate US agenda in the United Nations. May God bless all peaceful Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. May God punish Israel! |

Well, since this kneeling down thingy is part of Yoruba culture, I'm wondering why the Yoruba girls here are against it? After all, in some other thread these same Yoruba girls nearly crucified a guy (Yoruba by Texas  ) who said he would refuse prostrating to his Yoruba wife's parents.Seems some girls are just stupidly confused. |

Ukachi Emeruwa Ukachi Emeruwa, as a first-generation Nigerian-American raised in a Nigerian household, is proud to call herself and Igbo woman. She was born and raised in Riverside, California, a city a little over an hour southeast of Los Angeles, and like most California natives, she hasn't found a place that holds a candle and could not see herself living aywhere else. Apart from her position in the Leadership and Mentoring Program, Ukachi sits on the executive board of the Princeton Association of Black Women, plays club basketball, and is a member of Black Arts Company: Dance and the Akwaaba African Dance Troupe. That just about covers all her hobbies except roller skating, which unfortunately (in her opinion) is not a club on campus. Ukachi has always considered herself the math and science type, and her aspirations have always been to become an OB/GYN, but just before coming to Princeton, her academic career took an unexpected turn. She found herself developing what came to be a strong interest in Health Care Economics and Health Care Policy with her main goal being to work to develop the health care system in Nigeria. Thus, she is majoring in Economics, working toward a certificate in Global Health and Health Policy, and is pre-med. Ukachi describes herself saying she is happiest most when in the company of&nbs p;close friends and family. She has always been a people person and hopes that through her position as a PUMP Coordinator, she can use her talents to enhace the lives of her peers. She's a Nigerian American who has no business on such a despicable thread as NAIRALAND'S HALL OF SHAME. The job of the moderators is to address such libel without hesitation. |

Beaf: Beaf, Trying to compare Japan with Israel is like comparing English/Common Law with Sharia Law. In one you are not charged with any crime for changing your mind on a religious matter, in the other you're beheaded! There is no comparison between sane Japan and insane Israel. None. |

Very soon, empty-headed Israeli supporters will start shouting that the United Nations is anti-Semite. LOLZ! Israel's actions were illegal and no amount of hate for Arab Muslims, hate for Islam, or love for Jews can deny this lucid fact! PS: On a personal note I think aspects of Islam are just barbaric nonsense e.g. useless Sharia |

World reaction to Israel after raid on aid flotilla mostly negative By the CNN Wire Staff STORY HIGHLIGHTS * Egypt's Mubarak calls action "excessive and unjustified" * Turkey calls raid "a bloody stain on the history of humanity" * U.N. calls for Israel to end "counterproductive and unacceptable blockade of Gaza" * British Foreign Office seeking "urgent clarification" (CNN) -- International leaders expressed shock and dismay Monday over the Israeli Navy's pre-dawn storming of a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza that resulted in nine deaths. The situation rapidly escalated from a deadly incident at sea to a major diplomatic international crisis. "I condemn the violence, and Israel must explain," said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, speaking in Uganda after the official opening of the International Criminal Court Review Conference. In New York, the Security Council met in emergency session to discuss the matter. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the flotilla was trying to circumvent Israel's naval blockade of Gaza and defended its move as justified. "This happened after numerous warnings from Israel and the Israel navy that were issued prior to the action," it said in a posting on its website. "During the interception of the ships, the demonstrators on board attacked the IDF naval personnel with live fire and light weaponry including knives and clubs."

Mariory: I don't know whether to call this deception or ignorance. The San Remo Manual of 1994 was meant for armed conflict at sea. Question is who is Israel having an armed sea conflict with? Quoting excerpts of a manual without understanding the context and background is naive. The manual was developed to address the application of international laws during armed conflict. There rules in war (I know some may people may never understand this reality) and the San Remo Manual was developed to delineate those rules as they apply to armed conflict at sea. Now, the spurious argument may be made that Israel was at armed sea conflict with Hamas, but that's easily debunked because: 1. There is no such armed sea conflict, except it exists only inside the top naval officers of the IDF 2. Hamas does not have any navy capable of any form of sea combat. So, who was Israel in armed sea conflict with? Turkey? It's a shame that some people will try to justify this nonsense with a manual that has no applicability in the situation. "San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflict at Sea" 1. Background The law regulating the use of force at sea has long been due for a reevaluation in the light of developments in methods and means of warfare at sea and the fact that major changes have taken place in other branches of international law of direct relevance to this issue. This need was reflected in Resolution VII of the 25th International Conference of the Red Cross, which noted that "some areas of international humanitarian law relating to sea warfare are in need of reaffirmation and clarification on the basis of existing fundamental principles of international humanitarian law" and therefore appealed to "governments to co-ordinate their efforts in appropriate fora in order to review the necessity and the possibility of updating the relevant texts of international humanitarian law relating to sea warfare". Although the law relating to land warfare has been reaffirmed in recent treaties, in particular the two Protocols of 1977 additional to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, this has not been the case as regards the law of armed conflict at sea. The Second Geneva Convention of 1949 deals only with the protection of the wounded, sick and shipwrecked at sea, with some adjustments in Additional Protocol I of 1977, in particular the extension to shipwrecked civilians of the protection laid down in the Second Geneva Convention. However, these treaties do not address the law regulating the conduct of hostilities at sea. Almost all of the treaties on this subject date from 1907, when the Second International Peace Conference at The Hague adopted eight Conventions on the law of naval warfare. One of these has since been overtaken by the Second Geneva Convention and another, on the creation of an international prize court, never entered into force. A third, which regulated bombardment of land targets by naval forces, has in practice been overridden by the rules regulating attacks in Protocol I of 1977. However, these rules in Protocol I apply only to naval attacks that directly affect civilians on land, and therefore do not cover attacks by naval forces on objects, in particular vessels and aircraft, at sea. The 1907 treaties themselves did not represent a complete codification of the law of war at sea, but dealt with certain subjects, namely, the status of enemy merchant ships and their conversion into warships, the laying of automatic contact mines and the immunity of certain vessels from capture. An attempt to draft a more complete treaty took place in London in 1909, but the final Declaration did not enter into force. A non-binding code was drafted by the Institut de droit international and adopted in Oxford in 1913. Together, the 1909 London Declaration and the 1913 Oxford Manual give a good idea of pre-First World War customary law. Events in the First World War showed that the Hague treaties and traditional customary law had begun to be overtaken by developments in methods and means of warfare. The use of submarines, in particular, which were unable to follow procedures required of surface ships, resulted in the torpedoing of merchant vessels in ways which were in violation of the accepted law of the time. Efforts were made, in particular by Great Britain in the 1920s, to outlaw submarines altogether but as this proposal was not accepted a treaty was adopted in 1936 specifying that submarines must abide by the same rules as warships. However, this attempt at regulating new methods of warfare did not solve the problem, which was exacerbated by the subsequent widespread use of aircraft, seamines and long-range missiles. This led to many arbitrary sinkings in the Second World War, including many hospital ships and Red Cross vessels carrying relief supplies. The customary law that developed prior to the First World War had made an appropriate balance between military and humanitarian needs that suited naval practices and the sailing ships of the nineteenth century. As it is not possible to return to those times, the law needs to be adjusted so that the same balance can be respected with rules that are appropriate for modern conditions. Another major factor is that there have been important developments in other areas of international law such as the United Nations Charter, the law of the sea, air law and environmental law since the Second World War which must be taken into account in any restatement of the law applicable to armed conflicts at sea. The development of the law of armed conflict on land is also of importance, in that all armed conflicts involve operations in which the land, air and sea forces work in close cooperation and it would therefore not be appropriate to have totally different standards. [/b]Furthermore, all aspects of armed conflict should be in conformity with the basic principles of international humanitarian law, wherever the theatre of operations might be. However, at the same time it is recognized that there are certain specificities of naval operations that need to be taken into account, in particular the fact that neutral interests are involved at sea to an infinitely greater extent than is the case with land operations. [b]All these factors have led to a troubling degree of uncertainty as to the content of contemporary international law applicable to armed conflicts at sea. Although operations at sea are not at all as frequent as those on land, several recent conflicts have shown the need for greater certainty in the law applicable to naval warfare. The Falklands/Malvinas conflict brought the first major naval operation since the Second World War, and although it fortunately did not result in any serious problems as regards the safety of civilian or neutral shipping, it did raise significant questions with regard to the use of exclusion zones. Another problem which came to light was the negative effect on the efficiency of hospital ships of the rule in the Second Geneva Convention which prohibits hospital ships from using a secret code. The war between Iran and Iraq, on the other hand, saw extensive attacks on neutral civilian shipping as well as the use of exclusion zones by the belligerents. The downing of the Iranian airbus by the Vincennes forcefully brought to light the practical difficulties involved in the correct identification of civilian objects by belligerent naval forces and the unclear relationship between the work of civilian air traffic authorities and the perceived needs of belligerent forces in the area. The second Gulf war involved extensive naval activity when the Coalition forces established a blockade, without formally designating it as such.[1]Of particular interest were the methods used to enforce the blockade and the exceptions to it that were allowed for humanitarian reasons. The extent to which the United Nations Security Council was bound by the rules of international humanitarian law was also an important issue. Finally, it should be mentioned that the laying of seamines has created some difficulty. Such mines were laid in the Iran/Iraq war and some were removed by neutral States. In June 1995, a vessel chartered by the International Committee of the Red Cross to provide relief supplies to civilians in Sri Lanka was severely damaged and sank when it hit a seamine. The government of Sweden has on several occasions proposed a new treaty to the international community on the use of naval mines, first of all in 1989 at the United Nations Disarmament Commission, then in 1991 before the First Committee of the UN General Assembly and now as an additional Protocol to the 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.[2] Unfortunately, there is some doubt as to whether this latest initiative will be successful as the Review Conference of the 1980 Convention, which will meet in September-October 1995, will concentrate on landmines and, to a lesser degree, laser weapons. |

Chiddysville: Sometimes it is necessary to violate oppressive laws to break them, even if lives are lost. Blacks in America, Blacks in South Africa, resistance movements in occupied France, in occupied Palestine, in occupied Soviet Union, constantly violated the laws of the oppressive/occupying powers so as to break them even at high costs in lives and property! You cannot break the yoke of oppression by complying with the same oppressive laws that keep you oppressed! |

Sagamite: Sinking the ship may have been interpreted as a declaration of war with Turkey. The ship was hoisting Turkish flag. The diplomatic fall out would have been tragic for Israel. Israel should have allowed the flotilla to continue to their destination, as a symbol of goodwill. However, warmongering Netanyahu desires the taste of blood and wanted to use the murder of the civilians to send a message. |

Mariory: Why do you keep feeding the gullible with garbage pseudo-intellectual gibberish? Firstly, the San Remo Manual is a manual on the applicability of international law to armed conflicts at sea. Ships carrying humanitarian supplies in international waters do not count as "armed conflict". Secondly, you only point to Louise Doswald-Beck's summary of the San Remo Manual and not the actual contents of the manual. Deception? Well, let's see what the actual contents of the relevant section of Part 2 of the manual says: SECTION IV : HIGH SEAS AND SEA-BED BEYOND NATIONAL JURISDICTION 36. Hostile actions on the high seas shall be conducted with due regard for the exercise by neutral States of rights of exploration and exploitation of the natural resources of the sea-bed, and ocean floor, and the subsoil thereof, beyond national jurisdiction. 37. Belligerents shall take care to avoid damage to cables and pipelines laid on the sea-bed which do not exclusively serve the belligerents. [size=18pt]The Mavi Marmara was "neutral" because it was Turkish (flying the Turkish flag) and Turkey is not currently involved in any armed conflict with Israel. [/size] It's sad that too many novices of international law come out here and feed gibberish to the unsuspecting readers on NL. Israel's actions violated international laws, simple! Stop trying to dig through articles you don't understand to justify the actions of Israel! |

The Biafra/Gaza Complex -------------------------------- Two similar scenarios: [size=18pt]A.[/size] Kill Biafrans, including innocent men, women and children, civilians, the elderly, the sick and pregnant; kill them all. Use all forms of blockade, by land, sea and air. Prevent the Red Cross from going into Biafra to supply humanitarian goods and services. Proudly make statements like "blockades are legitimate instruments of war". And don't forget the infamous "I want to see no Red Cross, no Caritas, no World Council of Churches, no Pope, no missionary and no UN delegation. I want to prevent even one Igbo from having even one piece to eat before their capitulation. We shoot at everything that moves, and when our forces move into Igbo territory, we even shoot things that do not move . . . " --- Benjamin Adekunle, a.k.a. "Black Scorpion," Commander, 3rd Marine Commando Division, Nigerian Army. Those Biafrans deserve to die for using military coup as a guise to kill political leaders in the Western, mid-Western and Northern regions. We must kill every one of them! Post-war, we must also contain them by continuing to marginalize them on all fronts. [size=18pt]B. [/size] Kill Palestinians! They're Muslim terrorists! Bomb Gaza to the stone age and use chemical weapons to poison their lands for ages. Those bas.tards use terrorist organizations like Hamas to kill Israelis in restaurants and public buses. The blockade of Gaza is necessary and any supplies to them must be intercepted. Gazans are starving? Let them starve and die off! Who gives a hoot! Israel has a right to defend herself and killing Palestinian civilians, including innocent women and children is mere collateral damage. The blockade of Gaza is indefinite and the expansion of settler-buildings in the West Bank must continue unabated. The Palestinians will remain under Israeli control as long as Israel feels threatened by the multitude of Arab terrorist nations surrounding her. The four possible positions: Support A and Support B: The true sadists and champions of evil. To these mongrels, all subordinates must bow to the powerful or get killed for resisting. Power is the beginning and end to these children of the Devil. Support A and Against B: The position of hypocrites and fools. To these idiots, the right of Muslims is more important than the lives of innocent Biafrans killed by Mulsim-instigated massacres in Northern Nigeria and within the Nigerian military, circa 1966. Against A and Support B: The position of hypocrites and fools. To these myopic entities, the hatred of Arab Muslims have blinded them to the shear evil of Israel's terrorist acts against the Palestinians people. They tie a clear link between Muslim intolerance and barbarism in Northern Nigeria and Muslims in Palestine, blaming both for the unsuccessful genocide attempt by federal Nigeria between 19967 and 1970. Against A and Against B: My position and the position of all those who truly believe in human rights, justice and equity. The sane few and those who condemn evil no matter its color, creed, ethnic group or nationality. Evil is evil and must be condemned, period. |
