Israel desires peace
Hamas desires a world with no Israel

Other than Hamas and Hezbollah, what other terrorist groups do you side with?

It's not considered fighting back if you started it.

The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948.

Suspect Muslims throughout the region had a bizarre attitude that neither the United Nations nor UK had the right to give away land they had never owned to begin with.

Muslims invaded the land around 632 and did not complete their conquest until 641. Under the French Mandatory government, a constitution was formulated giving independent Lebanon a formulary where Christians and Muslims held specific offices, which was thrown into chaos as demographics shifted and the Shia had higher birth rates than other groups. That is what unhinged Lebanon. And there have always been Jews in the Levant, Roman efforts to the contrary notwithstanding.

The land had changed hands many times throughout the centuries.

What matters is who had possession of the land at the end of WW2.
And I do not possess a detailed knowledge of the facts .

Hardly

I don't claim to know who actually owned the land prior to the UN granting the UK a mandate to govern the region.

Suspect it's a patchwork of both Jewish and Muslim ownership.
Hopefully someone else knows the specifics and will educate all of us .

That's the attitude of many about Israel defending itself from terrorist attacked. Israeli strikes are in retaliation for terrorist strikes by Hezbollah. If Hezbollah doesn't want to be attacked they should stop attacking Israel.

different people groups have conquered, occupied, and been conquered in that area for thousands of years. One consistent resident group has always been the people of Israel/Jews.

The ONLY people group that I'm aware of that has willingly given up land they conquered is Israel. It didn't bring them peace except for a short time period.

Palestine has never been a country. They were offered that opportunity with the two state solution but they declined because they do not want Israel to exist. They want all or nothing.


Israel allows Palestinian representation in the Knesset. Israel has given up conquered land in exchange for peace but the peace never comes.

While Israel is not perfect, they are not the problem.

Have spent my entire life as an admirer of the Jewish people and Israel.

Then two things happened.

A Christian with whom I have done some minor business with over the last 5 years set me straight. This guy lives in Bethlehem. To my surprise he told me the Israelis give his Christian community far more trouble than the Muslims.

OK that is just one guy.



But then the last few months the Israelis have double down killing people in Gaza and Lebanon. The 'little' guys have turned into big bullies.

This is not ok.

Is this another site where rockets were fired using innocents as shields? Or, perhaps an area where Israel warned the people in the area that an attack was coming and they should immediately leave the area?

This is at least the 15th time you have busted in a conversation, totally uninvited, and launched an incredibly vicious and inherently stupid set of insults.

Then when you get a return volley ……you whine.


Each and every single time.

So predictable I can literally set my watch to it.


Then you give an innocuous denial , and disappear for a while.

Only to pull the exact same stunt a few weeks later.

Lying ?

Your uninvited insults about me hating Jews and damaging their places of worship are still visible on this thread.

Really think others can't see how totally weird you are ?

And you initiate these same bizarre insults periodically.
Usually completely out of nowhere.

Then dare to get your feelings hurt when I respond in kind.

This all began when you jumped into a discussion that did not involve you whatsoever, with vicious/ bizarre insults to me.

You have done this repeatedly over time, a gutless coward venting his toxicity onto others from the safety of his keyboard.

Whining about responses to your insults, whining about your health, whining about your dog.

Guess the retirement arrangements of a security guard don't provide for much else.

Israel has intensified their attacks throughout the region.

Stunned Turkey and Iran have not intervened.

I have been a life long supporter of Israel; but something has gone totally out of wack.

Time to te evaluate US blank checks to the Zionist State.
What is out of whack is the idea that Israel is condemned to an eternity of tit-for-tat proportional warfare with its enemies, warfare in which Iranian proxies EVERY TIME target Israeli civilians and Israel EVERY TIME targets military assets in response.

Iranian proxies launched the most brutal conventional military assault on civilians in our lifetime....literally shooting people on the dance floor for the sheer glee of it, just because those people were Jews, in four-digit numbers. That gave Israel justification to use its vastly superior military assets to demolish those proxies, which they are doing. Totally logical. Israel has shown great restraint, compared to its adversaries.

In WWII we firebombed German and Japanese cities to break the will of their peoples to continue the war effort. Israel is manifestly not doing that, as other posters have noted. To the extent there is collateral damage in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, and elsewhere....that is Pavlovian disincentive for the local population to tolerate Iranian proxies in their midst. Sure, it will incentivize some young men to join the intifada. It will also incentivize some fathers and grandfathers to rat-out Iranian proxy networks to Israeli intelligence.

Israel did not start this; but Israel is going to finish this. Good for them. So quit whining and put on your big girl panties on. Israel is killing people who want to do the same to us.




558 Lebanese have now been killed.

Israel is going to pay a high price for these indiscriminate air attacks.

And the sooner the better.

Only then will the Zionists negotiate a peace treaty in good faith.

Hope Turkey finally intervenes.


Israel has already paid a high price for indiscriminate attacks on citizens. For years. Invading to degrade the ability of their enemy to continue doing so is long over-due. Civilian casualties are unavoidable. The difference is, Israel's enemy TARGETS civilians, while Israel goes to extraordinary measure to prevent harming citizens.

Turkey, if it wishes to be taken seriously as a world power, should help Israel take out Hizballah.

In my view Israel should withdraw from Gaza and stop the air attacks in Lebanon.

They have killed enough people already to satisfy any need for revenge.
You know what stops justified retaliation? Surrender by the instigator.
That will never happen.
which is why one must escalate the cost of your enemy from continuing on....why you must have the will to impose greater cost-benefit calculations upon them, no matter what.

At this point, it's either Lebanese citizens which die, or Israeli citizens which will die. Any sane leader will chose to make his enemy pay that price rather than incur it on his own people.

It is not insignificant that it is Hizballah which has forced such calculations, not Israel.....

Turkey is a world power, as Europeans have continued to re learn through the years.

They need to send in some air strikes on Israeli Air Force bases.

Just enough to reel in Israeli arrogance.

Why the obsession with 9-11? There have been hundreds of terrorist attacked since then and it's global with attacks in Europe, South America, North Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, etc. 9-11 is only the largest and most dramatic and largest death toll in one day but there have been several large scale attacks since then, some with dozens of hundreds of dead. They are all relevant and imports. All the victims matter, not only those being used as human shields by the terrorists responsible for ALL these deaths.


We are attacked because we insist on playing the world's policeman.

It's past time to return to the policies of the founding fathers.

And for those who don't like that example ….we would be ahead practicing the philosophy of Switzerland.
Good grief. History is a long unbroken chain of barbarians attacking civilization. The Alans, Huns, Goths, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Bulgars, Vandals, Lombards, etc.....did not invade the Roman empire because Rome was "playing policeman" in the Eurasian marches. They attacked Rome to seize wealth and power.

History continues to operate on the same dynamics. We are attacked because we are free, wealthy, and powerful. Our liberty threatens autocrats. Our wealth begs to be taken. Our power stands in the way of ambitions of others.
