I never said the muslim are peace loving...just wanted to say israel should know better...but by behaving like this (ie. like an axe in the forrest=) they are not any better than the germs in WWII...lowing wrote:

Yeah but the fact that Israel nearly acts in the same way the third reich did (ie. achieving soil for their people in the east...) makes me angry...they should know best as they were the one who suffered most from the third reich...but by still taking money from Germany and doing the same thing Germany did back then makes em even worse...think Germany showed em how it is done...
and oh anyone remember how the second world war started? didn't Germany "claimed they were attacked first" by Poland? sounds familiar huh?
BTW: War never determines who is right, only who is left...
I never read that Germany claimed that they were attacked by Poland, but if they did, I bet it was viewed as ridiculous as the claim that Israel is the aggressor in all of this and the poor "PEACE LOVING" Muslims are the victims.
BTW: "Give me liberty or give me death"
lowing, its is a radicalized section of the arab countries that make these calls. Most ppl are just trying to get on with their lives. If Hezbollah use civilian areas to set off rockets etc, that dosent make the ppl living there responsible, as they cower in their homes unaware of who is making the explosions outside. Maybe you aren't seeing what I am seeing on the TV. Even right wing media like ITN are reporting ON THIS "HUMANITARIAN DISASTER" usually ITN support anything against the dreaded towel head virgin wanter's from the western prospective. Even there Fox like reporters are openly appalled by what they are seeing on the ground. Israels collective punishment of Lebanon is totally over the top by everyones standards outside the USA and Israel.

Anyone who argues that the taking of prisoners by Hezbollah is Terrorist kidnappings is obviously just waking up to what has been going on for a generation over there.

Therefore the solders taken were POW's.
The Shelling of Qana took place on April 18, 1996 in Qana, a village located southeast of Tyre, in Southern Lebanon, when Israeli artillery, returning fire against Hezbollah forces in the area, hit a Fijian UNIFIL compound in the village. Around 800 Lebanese civilians had taken refuge there to escape the fighting, of whom 106 were killed and around 116 others injured. Four UNIFIL soldiers were also seriously injured.
Above is one example of again disproportionate aggression. 106 civilians killed and 4 IDF solders killed. The Kill to death ratio for the Israeli army would be quite impressive, if it wasn't heavily bolstered by civilians.
I guess it would be "disproportionate" for Israel to defend itself against Muslim nations that have openly and continuously call out for its destruction and the extermination of all the Jews.
And where do they call for the "extermination of all the Jews"? Oh wait, they don't. That's your words. What are you, an anti-semite?lowing wrote:

As for my first three sentences, they are truth. The last is a literary tactic of removing his words from context and forming conclusions from them in an attempt to emphasize his own poor use of context.rawls wrote:
It seem like everyone who wants Israel to stop aggression has the ideal that Israel can live in peace if only they do what the Arab/Muslims want. Is there a list of things Israel has to do in order for the violence to completely end? I don't believe there exist such a list. I believe Israel will always be under attack. Either Israel is wiped out or their enemies are. Look at the post above me. That guy is so dense. Look what he wrote:
"And where do they call for the "extermination of all the Jews"? Oh wait, they don't. That's your words. What are you, an anti-semite?"
I'm sure we can find numerous links to prove that statement is bullshit.
It is a humanitarian disaster.........festered by the Muslims and their treatment of the Jews. Do you really expect Israel to sit by and do nothing?JahManRed wrote:

100 % agree. Supporting Hezbollah is just plain wrong, they kill innocents just like the Israeli's. The whole thing is one giant pile of shitlowing wrote:
To all who posted.
No I know the majority of the ME feels this way, however it is a little disconcerting that the Iraqis whom we are there trying to help recover from a violent regime would protest in favor of this terrorist group. I mean, ok, ya don't like Israel, but to actually support terrorism??!!
You are also correct the 911 bombings count as "screwing with the west" however, we took care of the taliban and let the terrorists know, as well as the hostile ME govts. that, from now on the gloves will be off.
I think we can agree to stay out of the ME, if they agree to leave Israel alone and stop the terror around the world. It is a pipe dream though and will never materialize.
All in all, this article just makes me realize there is no hope for peace in the ME and I will have to be content for peace for the rest of us.
As far as starting the problems with the creation of Israel, it is time to understand these people have been the most persecuted people in the history of the world. They need a place to settle and live in peace. They have as much right to exist in the ME as the Muslims do. But now I am leaning toward staying out of it and let Israel do its thing, (of which we all know they are capable of doing)
Lmao mate you take the biscuit right we should forcibly remove the current elected government and then replace it with one we made up, that is the democratic thing to do. Somebody needs to research democracy....jonsimon wrote:
They're not even a Jewish nation, they have more arabs than jews. Israel the state needs to be removed and replaced with a new government representative of both Israelis and Palestinians. It is the only democratic thing to do, and it is the only right thing to do.

I support "stopping the maddness", but in reality it will never happen. Israel pulled out of Gaza and Jerusalem as part of the "Road map to peace", yet they still got attacked. It will never end there. Hell even if the Muslims wipe Israel of the face of the earth, do you honestly believe their violent behavior will stop?JahManRed wrote:

Hell, there are no Jews in Iraq, yet the civilians and terrorists are killing each other by the droves, both groups Muslims mind you, however we have Shi'ite Muslims killing Sunni Muslims.
I have another challenge.
For all of those against Israel in here, find me one article that would give evidence that the Muslim world would finally live in peace if Israel was destroyed. If I can read 1 article, I will more likely buy into your argument that Israel is the aggressor. Or you can post links that show Israel's aggression to the rest of the world as proof. Cuz I can show you links that prove Muslim aggression outside of Israel, and threats made to other countries by Muslims. Who in the world are threatened by Israel, other than those nations that continually attack it??

Iran explicitly states the solution is to remove the Israeli regime.

As for the map quote, specifically, he used an arabic phrase that more literally translates to "removed from the pages of history." He also specified the Israeli regime, no the country. Of course, biased American media can't spread anything without Israels OK.
