    But hours later Clooney’s Hollywood agent, Stan Rosenfield, issued a statement on Alamuddin’s behalf saying she had declined the post because she was too busy.

    You're seriously going to go there? If so, you should probably include this part, as told by Alamuddin:

    “I am horrified by the situation in the occupied Gaza Strip, particularly the civilian casualties that have been caused, and strongly believe that there should be an independent investigation and accountability for crimes that have been committed,” said the statement.

    “I was contacted by the UN about this for the first time this morning. I am honoured to have received the offer, but given existing commitments – including eight ongoing cases – unfortunately could not accept this role. I wish my colleagues who will serve on the commission courage and strength in their endeavours.”

    Also might be nice to mention the fact that William Schabas, one of the three on the panel, has been outspoken about being pro-Palestinian liberation.

    I feel no need to reiterate where I stand on this conflict, but I will reiterate something that, for some reason, I'm still finding the need to: be fair.

    It's obvious this pic isn't from now. I'm just posting pics to show what happens to Palestinians on a daily basis. She would NEVER get away with it now in this conflict as evident by the pics of dead children everywhere in Gaza. And when you say she does it to get a reaction from the soldiers, well, isn't that what Israel does? They call for a cease fire and right before it goes I to effect, they bomb the shit out of somewhere hoping to get a "reaction" from Hamas to cancel the cease fire. See, it goes both ways.

    Indeed,and I'm just referencing the article.I do try to look at each thing people post to see what it's about.You know keeping it real kinda thing.
    She is actually a star now,so she just might get away with it.Do some research on her.She is well traveled thru the Middle East.

    I'm not familiar with Mordechai Kedar, but all I can find about him is his concept of states divided by tribe, and some outrageous allegations about the values and priorities of suicide bombers, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Would you mind clarifying?

    I find it funny that if Israel isn't occupying Palestine, then why do they have the right to arrest that man at the end of the video if he's on Palestinian land?

    Edit-not directing this at you RR, just rhetorical question.

    I heard a bunch of "rip our olive trees down and we'll plant millions more."

    "Stop little boy"

    Something about "money"

    "We'll never give up"

    Stuff like that, lots of yelling so hard to be clear. Someone asked the man being arrested what his name was for the cameras.

    And at first I thought it was in Hebrew cuz it was hard to understand all the screaming and yelling. Mite of been half Arabic and half Hebrew? Maybe ralfie can translate if it was Hebrew or not?
