Re: I used to think you had some credibility....my mistake. LOL... Never mind SCUMbria! After all, s/he believes Isaac Newton was a Jew.... Message 17744064 James II became king of Great Britain on 6 February 1685. He had become a convert to the Roman Catholic church in 1669 but when he came to the throne he had strong support from Anglicans as well as Catholics. However rebellions arose, which James put down but he began to distrust Protestants and began to appoint Roman Catholic officers to the army. He then went further, appointing only Catholics as judges and officers of state. Whenever a position at Oxford or Cambridge became vacant, the king appointed a Roman Catholic to fill it. Newton was a staunch Protestant and strongly opposed to what he saw as an attack on the University of Cambridge. [...] www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk

This sort of behaviour obviously places the civilian population at risk, and is the reason why it is illegal under international law. It is very important for soldiers to be able to distinguish between the civilian population and the militia. The account below was from a Palestinian fighter at Jenin. And what about the explosion and ambush last Tuesday which killed 13 (Israeli) soldiers? "They were lured there," he says. "We all stopped shooting and the women went out to tell the (Israeli) soldiers that we had run out of bullets and were leaving." The women alerted the (Palestinian) fighters as the soldiers reached the booby- trapped area. "When the senior (Israeli) officers realized what had happened, they shouted through megaphones that they wanted an immediate cease-fire. We let them approach to retrieve the men and then opened fire. jpost.com
