The violence is escalating, over 300 more rockets fired today.[/QUOTE]
Millwad. Hamas just claimed responsibility for firing 527 rockets aimed at Israeli civilian targets.
You are the Prime Minister of Israel. What do you propose that Israel does? Take the rockets on the chin? Peaceful nation-wide sit in? Send them hummus and try to make friends?:confusedshrug:

Re: Israel's Assassination of Hamas Chief (Video) Raises Tensions on Both Sides of Gaza
These idiots are aiming at Tel Aviv now, first time they've tried that since the Gulf war. Palestine is about to get f*cked in the ass. Hopefully the Palestinean people get sick of it and kick Hamas out of power.

Re: Israel's Assassination of Hamas Chief (Video) Raises Tensions on Both Sides of Gaza
[QUOTE=millwad]Haha, so much nonsense.
[B]I'll ask you again, if the muslim countries of the Middle East decides to occupy Israel, will that be something that you think that people from Israel and jews will accept and that they will think it's valid just because it was decades ago?
[/B]
And no one is saying that Israel is going to go away, people are saying that the occupation needs to stop, how stupid are you really? And yeah, the new generation of Palestinians will be tired of their parents beliefs and they will team up with the Israeli's and make peace with them and accept the illegal occupation.. You're even less intelligent compared to what I initially thought..
[B]
And yeah, arab countries enjoy to see follow arab muslims in misery while the jewish nation Israel lives on their land while abusing the Palestinians. You know, Israel is the new favourites in the Middle East among muslims.[/B]
And you obviously don't know what it takes to cross the borders, what do you know other than propaganda and nonsense that's not true?[/QUOTE]
Wow. you're really, really slow.

Re: Israel's Assassination of Hamas Chief (Video) Raises Tensions on Both Sides of Gaza
[QUOTE=millwad]What do you propose that Palestine does after getting abused by Israelis on daily basis while they occupy your land more and more by every that goes by?
I like how all this massive rockets very rarely kills Israelis while the Israelis kill on weekly basis while trying to make "peace".
There's two sides on the coin but your pride about your jewish heritage is making you completely blind. You excuse everything that Israel has done but you make extremely big deals out of everything Palestine is behind.[/QUOTE]
You're right, 527 rockets launched in two days targeting civilians is no big deal. I'm overexagerating the situation to fit my evil zionist agenda.

And you still haven't replied to the question, go ahead.[B] If big parts of Israel gets occupied by arab countries[/B], will you let it go in a couple of decades due how long time it has been? Obviously no, you're just full of nonsense.[/QUOTE]
LAWL I only got jumped in Egypt like twice, it wasn't really particularly traumatic, and I've been in enough fights in my life to not really let highschool shit like that bother me.
LOL Jews are used to getting unfairly shitted on for no reason, again look at history. The pattern is always the same. The people in power start to persecute the Jews, Jews move on somewhere else, and the empire they leave falls.
EXAMPLES: Babylon, Egypt, Spain, Germany, Russia.
And yes, I would let it go. It's stupid and pointless to continue to harbor blind and suicidal hatred against a government that you have no power to stop and never will be able to defeat in a million years. It is stupid to waste your life hating and being bitter about something you can't change. I sure as hell wouldn't waste my entire life launching scud missiles at Arab school children.
But arab countries are never going to "occupy Israel" in my life time. There's no need to thing about something that will never happen.

Re: Israel's Assassination of Hamas Chief (Video) Raises Tensions on Both Sides of Gaza
Gaza is a lose-lose-lose situation for Israel right now when it comes to their international reputation. They essentially have three options:
1. Do what they have been doing for the past years: try and subdue the attacks by strictly trying to regulate the region from the outside, with addition of the occasional military retaliation inevitably leading to civilian casualties.
2. Loosen overall control on Gaza. Which is the "moral" thing to do, but will very likely only result in Gaza becoming more adept in their terrorism and ultimately resulting in larger scale conflict.
3. Invade Gaza and strictly control every aspect of every day life in the region (again). Which they could easily do, but would paint Israel as the big bad aggressor to every other nation and possibly increasing hostility with their neighboring countries.
It seems to me that they literally can't do anything right in this situation. What Israel is up to in the West Bank is truly disgusting though, there is no way around that.

Hm, I don't think that has anything to do with the Germans being defeated by the combined efforts of the Soviet Union, the United States, the British, and the rest of their allies in WWII? Stop talking out of your ass. Besides, they are still one of the most prosperous countries in the world today.
Yes Jews have been persecuted, but the establishment of Israel was, is, and will always be a monumental blunder.

Israel will not survive the 21st century, and unfortunately it's going to cost the lives of many innocent Arabs and Jews in the region.

The same way any state gets wiped out. They won't have the resources or the will to deal with an enemy that greatly outnumbers them, especially without the complete support of the United States (We already see that waning with them so uneasy about preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon). It will be a gradual process, and it won't happen in a split second. Many foreign policy experts have also predicted this, I am not alone.
The United States have consistently exploited third world nations who are rich in natural resources. Africa (Nigeria, Congo, you can go on and on in that continent), Middle East has always been exploited by the West for oil, that is common knowledge, not to mention US intervention in Central America where they have done incredible harm for their own ends (Installing of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile to protect telecommunications interests for ITT is one example).
Of course it is not stealing or exploitation when you are writing the international trade laws that are stacked so tremendously in your favor and actually hinder development in these nations. But this debate (well, it's not really a debate to anyone who is educated about international economic practices of the developed world) is another matter.
If you think you have to occupy a country in order to exploit it, then you are very ignorant my friend.

Yes, US corporations are a massive culprit, but acting like they are not acting in the interest of the Federal government in their actions is also ignorant. The overthrow of Allende in Chile in 1973 was a classic example of this ridiculous and corrupt partnership. The company ITT in the United States had a 70% stake in the market in Chile, and Allende was a Marxist who wanted to nationalize the industry. The President of ITT had a friend in the CIA, and with corporate and national influences they tried desperately to stop Allende in the election, which he won. Afterwards, they manipulated the conditions in Chile to stage a coup, after which dictator Augusto Pinochet took office. ITT retained 70% of their corporate stakes. And it is a point of contention whether or not the US was personally involved in the assassination of Allende (he allegedly committed suicide).

Are you delusional or what? First you said that Israel wanted peace and wanted to give back Palestine their land which was a pure lie and then when you saw that your nonsense lies didn't work you went on with an argument about how Israel is going to keep it and that later generations will accept it..
You're delusional, stupid, uneucated and butthurt. This is like the time when I destroyed you and later you claimed that I was a jew hater and that I wrote racist comments.. I'm sure you're just butthurt over how you got punched out time after time by the kids you went to school with in Egypt and you've also expressed how much you dislike the muslims in London and how some muslim paki's wanted to fight you. Actually, the same thing happened to me in London but you hatred against islam is hilarious, you even made a thread where you bashed the Quran and acted like the Torah was on another level.. :facepalm
And you call mei uninformed but the only info you've tried to put up in this thread got complete shattered by me so it's the other way around, you propaganda troll.[/QUOTE]
The Koran calls for muslims to kill infidels. It has 109 different verses instructing in the killing of infidels. The Torah does not have 109 verses instructing Jews to kill non-Jews. FACT.
You haven't shattered any of my info, sport. You just call me names and insult me multiple times and either ignore, or completely fail to understand the simple points Im making.
I think the Koran is better than the New Testament, it is much better written, and wasn't manufactured by Roman marketing execs, but instead written by one guy which is pretty impressive.

Well, no every other religion doesn't try to force conversion under threat of death, like the Koran instructs muslims to do. Every other religion doesnt instruct in it's most holy book to murder non-believers like the Koran does 109 times.

Re: Israel's Assassination of Hamas Chief (Video) Raises Tensions on Both Sides of Gaza
I am a Christian but I'll point something out on Islam. The religion is very very similar to Christianity(in fact they consider early Jews to actually be early Muslims) the thing is its a younger religion then Christianity. If you look at the respective ages of the religions, the crusades happened at about the same age for Christianity(1300 ish years) they will learn.
All of that being said, there is no reason to expect Israel to just take it.
And millwad/anyone else who mentions the 1947 treaty as the actual boundaries of Palestine, that's incredibly stupid. You know who refused that treaty? Palestine. The fought a war and attempted to create a larger area for themselves and lost and lost land in the process. This has happened several times throughout history. You can't start an expansionist war, lose said war then claim that the land you lost in said war is still yours.

I'm sure there are. I'm know there's alot of anti-Israel sentiments in the region from civilians and government alike, not just in Gaza or the West Bank. The point is, this is a violent, terroristic organization that denounces peace regularly. If you ask me, treat an organization like what it is acting like. Israel is taking offensive measure to ensure it's security, Hamas want not only their land back, they want the destruction of Israel. Even if it Hamas has the people's support, that should not be fuel for war-like motives.

Re: Israel's Assassination of Hamas Chief (Video) Raises Tensions on Both Sides of Gaza
Israelis have to defend themselves from rockets flying at them and absolutely in the short term the only way to do that is to eliminate the sources of them.
But whenever there are lulls in fighting, less rocket attacks, they do themselves absolutely no favors. The settlers are indefensible and so is the embrace of the status quo. As long as a solution is not found, more and more territory is occupied by settlers. They are relatively thinning out the population of Israeli Jews and increasing their land while Palestinian population increases in a smaller space. The result of this is pretty obvious the "security" issue is going to be more and more important and the "security" party is going to be elected.
The Palestinians in the West Bank have been remarkably calm the past couple years despite some nasty incidents with aggressive settlers. Likud guys always will offer talks with Fatah at the height of a cycle of violence with Hamas when they know that Abbas has his hands tied politically, you can't look like an Israeli lapdog while the Gaza strip is getting bombed. In times of (relative) stability when Fatah wants to move things along, Likud says "they're not serious they didn't even want to talk earlier." The right wing doesn't want a partner to negotiate with. I honestly think Bibi's dream scenario is to make the (relatively) moderate Palestinians so unpopular that the Palestinians start killing eachother again in the West Bank.
To sum up my stance:
The creation of Israel was a big mistake.
That said it exists and it should be able to defend itself when rockets come at it.
It will always be getting bombed until they get serious about peace and making life livable for Palestinians.
They can whine all they want about the world's public opinion, I will have no sympathy for that until they crackdown on their religious nuts and settlers.
