at least in america we fight over worthy shit like drugs and women and property.

/mostly serious
This might be way over some peoples heads.

What makes something worthy? I believe it is based on peoples beliefs and opinions. So who says what they are fighting over isn't "Worthy"?

This isn't quite as much about religion as it is about land. Israel is only challenged because of the so-called Palestinian question, and they are only supported by the rest of the Middle East because they are Muslims. So while religion plays a role it's more about land-religion is merely a backdrop. Remember that Christians and Jews are protected people under Shari'ah.

And I think that while some Israeli action is justified they seem to be going a bit far. Many civilians have been killed in the past few days.

Of course they are. I don't think we would like it if an armed terrorist group bent on our destruction was on our border.

I know how you feel. But this affects us in many ways. Right now we need to stay out, but if things get to bad we will have to get involved.

The US wants other country's to help out, hopefully some will. We are swamped as of right now.

Nah Israel doesn't need help from the USA they do a good enough job by them self and it isn't Israels falt aether they are fed up from suside bombers in there city everyday....and i would too its easyer to say that Israel shouldn't attack them they are only making it worst but just imagine if that was happening in your city everyday would you just want to sit there?.....and weather they attack or not them suside bombers arnt going to stop like puckmercury  said there is never going to be peace in the middle east..
D'you think maybe the suicide bombers are doing it because they are fed up with being bombed and having their houses bulldozed by Israelis? If the Israelis stopped for long enough, the suicide bombers would (probably) follow suite.

Hey,

  Anyone remember the camp David Accords? The PLO and other terrorist scum didn't/don't want peace. I agree with one dude who said watch as Israel schools these fools. You're gonna see these punks get stomped like the cockroaches they are. That little country has some of the best Intel and spec-ops branches in the world and they're gonna use em. I feel for the innocents but as in war there are always civilian casualties especially considering these terrorists embed themselves into civilian populations. Israel will try to minimize these casualties unlike the terrorists who are all about civilian casualties. Lebanon will benefit from this action as the UN guy said once they are allowed to control the south.

Right now this is not a holy war. Where are you people getting this from.
They have invaded Palestine and built a bloody great wall which is way across the internationally recognised border between the two countrys. They have kicked out every Palestinian living in Israel (kind of like the Nazis kicking out the Jews from Germany, thats how that started - who knows maybe in the not too distant future they'll have concentration camps for Arabs (although the Americans seem to be ahead on that one with Guantanamo)) and they have bulldozed Palestinian villages which lie anywhere near the border zones.

Whose asses have the Israelis been kissing? Other than the Americans - and they don't seem to have a lot of respect for them anyway. America will ask them to do or not do something and the Israelis won't pay any notice at all.

This is and always has been a holy war - Its about the religious significance of Jerusalem to Jews and Muslims. The whole thing is about how that entire region is the promised land, unfortunately it happens to be the promised land for two different religions (three if you count Christians, remember the Crusades?). For that reason Jerusalem is always going to be a warzone unless all these people just learn to get along and live there side by side. Thats probably where all these people are getting the idea it's a holy war.

I'm just gonna say that the Israeli IDF is one of the best funded and trained armies in the world.  If I could choose any army to back me up I would choose the Israelis.  I say help them out, as they are our friends.

So just because they are your allies and have a big army, you think you should help them go and finish off the Arabs they've been oppressing for the last 60 years?

Iraq was invaded for non compliance with UN resoultions, maybe you should take a look a the list of UN resolutions broken by Israel. They also developed nukes in secret when they were specifically told not to by the UN - a decision backed 100% by the US - wasn't there something about Saddam developing weapons of mass destruction.....

Also Israel the only nuclear power not to sign the nuclear non proliferation treaty. Even North Korea have signed it.

Why sign something if you aren't going to follow it? The treaty is a joke just like the UN.

I just assumed that you believed running around killing people = kissing ass, since that's all Israel's ever done.

The US was the driving force behind the UN, the US is the country most able to back the UN's declarations with military force, and the US is the country who can be most consistently relied on to not follow the UN when it doesn't suit it's needs.  If the UN is a joke, the US is responsible.

I get a little more irritated every time someone says something like that, if it's a joke it's because countries don't participate.  Canada has always been a supporter of UN acts and the US has made it into a joke.  Israel has always been a problem especially with all the weapons the US gave them and various actions backed by the US.  You can't work against something and then when it fails call it a joke.  It would be on your head if it did.  Treaties like the NPT and other written documents are sometimes the only things preventing disaster and you should respect that.  If all countries trounced around and refused to respect things like the UN people would be in much worse shape than they are now.

What do you mean aren't going to follow it? I can't think of any nukes beings used since the Non Proliferation Treaty, so who hasn't been following it? It's disturbing becasuse countries who intend to break treaties tend not to sign them, like the US with the human rights act - which they didn't sign so they could keep their right to execute children.

As for the UN, they need US or NATO backing (pretty much the same thing) to get anything done and if the US opposes action on an issue as they do in this situation the UN is powerless.

Lets face it, these people will never get along until they can sit down and talk it out over some bacon and eggs or perhaps some beer brawts.  I have yet to see a person become hostile while eating a pork chop, have you???  Let's face it, these people have never experienced baby back ribs or a shreaded Bar-B-Que pork sandwich with onions.  How could anyone expect anything else from such uncivilized people.

Your right it doesn't matter what Israel does. They will always be attacked . This attack was unprovoked and more than likely sponsored by Iran to stir up a cloud of dust around their nuclear ambitions.  In my opinion.

If the UN was effective and was able to enforce it's own resolutions (1559) this conflict would not be happening.
