    yes israel has masacred over the years and if any of you listen to the media carefully they dont care less what the world think. They dont want peace they just want blood and will keep on murdering.
  • Ghost
    Oh, well, thats some bullshit post.

    Most barbaric killings came from USA. Hiroshima & Nagasaki (nuclear), Vietnam (chemical, biological), Cambodia (see Vietnam), Iraq-Iran war (chemicals approved and supplied by States)... list goes on.

    And, offcourse, there are many more lives lost in all those "democratic" lands that States supplied with weapons.

    @Avi

    Iol @ "Israel believes strongly in peace." I'm very awake and also watching what Israel is doing. Settlement policy and treating palestinians as second-class citizens isn't what i call peace loving. If you are someone who wants peace it's fine, your country behaves not like it would. That's really sad coz one should think a nation that has been treated so bad should know better. But obviously what it has learned is to treat people just as bad.

    "The killing of innocent people was by accident and didn't come from place of hate or coldness" - that's cynical. You can't whitewash the fact that killing innocent people is wrong. No matter if jews are the victims or if they are the murders.

    Maybe you should wake up.

    @ Ghost:
    Please read the title: 5 MOST barbaric war crimes in history. The word "most" impiles that if a war crime on the list, it's not any war crime, but it should top other war crime who are not on the list.
    And for your question, yes I've spoken with many when I was in the Israeli army forces. They seemed to me like nice people, ordinary and I beleive that most of them want peace like Israeli do. I have no hatered for Palastiniens.

    @ haris:
    Your comment "how do rockets reach hamas" shows that you don't know what you are talking about. Please read more and then talk. And if you don't have anything smart to say, then say nothing.

    @Karin:
    I didn't say "only", I said I can understand better than others, so don't twist my words.
    The 'side effect' was padded with sad and cruel. Just to clarify - I am against war, Israel believes strongly in peace and both people want to live quietly side by side. Israel never wen't to a war that wasn't forced on it (including this one). But when war happens, yes people die - It's a fact. Wake up please.

    To the rest:
    I don't understand why people hurry to say that Isreal commited war crimes. It took us 8 years to act before entring the Gaza strip. 8 years of rockets falling down on Israeli civilians, who begged the Israel government to react. Israel didn't rush to attack back, but tried diplomatic roads first. All have failed. Israel asked for cease-fire, but was answered with even more rockets, which were becoming deadlier.
    Finally, after all has failed, Israel decided to stop holding back and attack the Hamas. The porpuse of the operation
    was to harm Hamas basis so they woild stop firing rockets on Israel. There was no intention to kill innocent civilians. On the contraray, Israel warned civilians about upcoming attacks so they will not stay in Hamas rocket launching areas (it's Hamas that place them in civilian areas intentionally).
    There was one goal for this operation - stopping Hamas from firing on us. The killing of innocnet people was by accident and didn't come from place of hate or coldness - such as other war crimes and massacre or medical experiments.

    Here is a Wiki link for more information:

    Indian Army killed 100,000 innocent Kashmiris since 1989 and over 300,000 people since 1947. I'd like to see a post related to Indian State Terrorism in Kashmir. Talking about numbering, I believe all the genocides have same stories, same sufferings, same bad memories. So let s be fair with history and try to speak truth regardless of our affiliations

    @avi

    The whole world knows it. come on man. Using such sophisticated weaponry is called defense... oh please you don't have a good sense of humor. So Gaza massacre should be on number 1 instead of 5. Btw Gaza is surrounded by Israel... how do rockets reach hamas.
  • haris
    What about in Kashmir by Indian Army
  • Karin
    @ Avi: Calling dead civilians a 'side effect' is pretty unfeeling. To think only someone who lives in Israel can understand that conflict is either naive or arrogant. An outside observer can often judge and understand things better than someone who is involved.
    Also interesting that jews only should be mentioned as victims, never as committer. If someone says jews committed war crimes in an article that also mentions the holocaust he is called insane. Aha.

    @ Pat and T: In an article about the 5 most barbaric war crimes it's impossible to mention all war crimes ever committed. That would fill a very big book.

    @ fcuk: The article doesn't say Hitler killed ONLY jews.

    It's a good post, and of course it can only show a fractional amount of war crimes. No doubt, there were many more in the long history of men making war.
  • admin
    @ Mr above come up with some facts
  • fcuk
    That's shit. Hitler didn't kill only jews...the others are always forgotten
  • Ghost
    Post just mentioned 5 crimes..many are missing...but that doesn't justify any of them..
    if America's nuclear attack on japan is not mentioned on japnese crimes aren't mentioned...it doesnt mean Isreal is innocent..

    @ Avi did u ever happen to talk with some one from Palestine?
  • Bosnian
    There are a lot of Barbaric war crimes...one of them......SREBRENICA ethnic cleansing! (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
  • ben
    Israel is the biggest dictator nation of this century. and it claims it is fighting for peace, kind of hypocrite attitude.
  • T
    did a 5th grader write this post? i'm just judging by not only the lack of historical knowledge but also the elementary use of language.
  • Pat
    Weird post...looks like you didn't pay attention in history class (like most people)

    How's about the genocide of 50 to 100 million native Americans?? Forgot?
    How's about all the other millions and millions of deaths in the name of the third world order, due to politics, religion and economy... lack of love!

    No one cares about expansion era japan's abominations..
    Nazis experiments on human body can be classified as 'soft' compared to japanese unit 731.

    Continue that way, ignoring history and humanity once more will encounter those kind of things.

    It's not because japanese people is known as polite that they are all angels. I'm not saying that japanese are bad.
    Just show some respect for all asian victims during WWII by telling the whole history. Not only western victims have dignity.
  • Avi
    Nope. I live in Israel and I think I understand the Israel-Palestinian conflict better than people who don't live here.

    As I said, innocent people were killed, as in all wars. I am not justifing this, but this is not different than any other war aound the world. Those innocent people were not Israeli target and Israel didn't aim to harm innocent people. It is what it is - a sad and cruel side effect of the conflict. (By the way, innocent Israel people were killed as well by those Hamas rockets and by other Islamic terror acts like bombing Israeli buses and markets. Hoewever, no one mentioned it here)

    The point is that it shouldn't be on the 5 most barbaric war crimes in the history.
  • @ Avi sure sure..the kid shown in picture was surly a Hamas activist..killing can't be justified and your comment suggest that you are quite ignorant of real situation..

    u might be regular viewer of Fox news :P
  • Avi
    Very bad post.

    Your 5th war crime - Gaza Crisis - shouldn't be there.
    Israel entered Gaza on 2008 because the Hamas kept firing rockets at israelis settlements bordering with Gaza.
    That situation lasted for nearly 8 years without any response from the Israel part. On 2008 Israel acted to stop those rockets.
    According to the Palestinians 1,300 innocent people were killed. According to Israel 1,100 were killed, out of which 800 are Hamas activists and other terrorists.

    Yes, its a fact, innocent people were killed, as in all wars, but there were no war crimes here and it should not side with a war crime as the holocust (are you insain???).
    Israel simply defended itself after all diplomatic efforts have failed. How would you feel if your house was constantly fired upon with missiles comming from Gaza strip?

    Please remove this from the list. It shouldn't be there.
    Here are some good examples of war crimes you can use:
    - Armanian genocide
    - Rwanda genocide

    It seems to me that whoever wrote this list, doesn't like Israel very much. And if that's not the case, please get you facts straight.
  • good post !
