Gaza Doctor Says Death Toll Inflated

Can someone explain please what the Brits were doing in the Falklands in 1982? Did Argentina bomb England?

The Falklands War, also called the Falklands Conflict/Crisis, was fought in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom (UK) over the disputed Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The Falkland Islands consist of two large and many small islands in the South Atlantic Ocean east of Argentina; their name and sovereignty over them have long been disputed.

What are the Brits doing in Afghanistan? Did the Afghan people attack England?
The War in Afghanistan, which began on October 7, 2001 as the U.S. military operation Operation Enduring Freedom, was launched by the United States with the United Kingdom in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. The stated purpose of the invasion was to capture Osama bin Laden, destroy al-Qaeda, and remove the Taliban regime which had provided support and safe harbor to al-Qaeda. The United States' Bush Doctrine stated that, as policy, it would not distinguish between al-Qaeda and nations that harbor them.

What was NATO doing in Kosovo in 1999? Did Kosovo bomb Europe?

NATO intervention between March 24 and June 10, 1999,[36] aimed to force Milošević to withdraw his forces from Kosovo, combined with continued skirmishes between Albanian guerrillas and Yugoslav forces resulted in a further massive displacement of population in Kosovo.[37] During the conflict, roughly a million ethnic Albanians fled or were forcefully driven from Kosovo. Altogether, more than 11,000 deaths have been reported to Carla Del Ponte by her prosecutors.[38] Some 3,000 people are still missing, of which 2,500 are Albanian, 400 Serbs and 100 Roma.[39] Ultimately by June Milošević had agreed to a foreign military presence within Kosovo and withdrawal of his troops.

What are the Americans and Brits doing in Falluja?

Here is their news, which they told me over the telephone tonight (Friday)

Paola Gaspiroli:

"There has been a massacre in Falluja. Falluja is under siege. 470 people have been killed, and 1700 injured. There has been no ceasefire. They (Americans) told people to leave, said they have 8 hours to leave and people began to leave but they’re trapped in the Desert. The Americans have been bombing with B52s (Confirmed also by Leigh in an email three days ago). Bridges to Baghdad are pulling out. We have flights booked out of Amman. Tomorow a team will go to Sadr City to deliver medicines. 50 people have been killed there. ?? (Forgotten name) the 'elastic' shiekh in Sadr City (I’ve met him, young, brilliant guy, describes himself as 'elastic' because he is so flexible when it comes to his interpretations of Islam and moral conduct definitions etc, he's pretty liberal) he has told me I should leave.

It is a fact that Hamas or Fatach are exagerating each time there is a war between Israel and them. It happened after all wars since 1956 until today. This is no news, but except that, no matter the facts, they always "win", they they declare that the Israelis have three times casualties. They must say so because never they admitt the truth. Why their leaders are always hiding? It's because they are 'chickens'.
They have not respect for their own people, it is also a simple fact. They kill Fatach people and torture them, but they won't tell it. Where are the BBC journalists to tell it?!
Find one people in the entire world that would send warnings to evacuate the area because in a short time there might be boming? and one must know - La guerre comme la guerre.

Why do the media fail to investigate and follow through on any report that might be positive to Israel?

Today I received an email from a neighbor with pictures to 'prove' that.. "The grandchildren of the Holocaust" are treating the Palestinians the same as their Grand Parents were treated. How does one respond to something like that, just ignore it, I wonder!
