What's up with Israel attacking everybody? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

kamil · #1 07-13-2006, 01:20 AM

Well, they first started with an attack on Palestine and now they are destroying Lebanon. How come these countries don't have armies to defend themselves? Can someone enlighten me on this topic, it's getting a bit interesting in the Middle East so I might as well get some info from you guys. I don't know how you guys feel about this topic but I'm on Israel's side (I'm not Jewish either) because I'm not too fond of terrorists that come out of those other countries.

Some questions that I need answered:
Has Israel done this before?
Will they attack more countries?
How come the countries that are being attacked don't have allies nor armies?

Thanks

For starters, Palestine is not a country. Palestine refers to an overall geogrpahic area that is now divided between Israel, Egypt, Syria and Jordan.

It started when a daddy had a child with his wife and another woman on the side. The wife forced the husband to kick the other woman out and bastard out. It's been down hill ever since.

Its the Holy Land and everyone wants it for their own. Arabs far outnumber the Jews, but Israel has greater fire power. If the Arabs consolidate and develop/obtain advanced weaponry, look out.

I beg your pardon, but back in the 70's Isreal fought and won a war in 7 days. That was after they let the women join. Who they were fighting escapes my brain, the housekeeper hasn't been in to dust in awhile.

It's a tough one all right. The Jews responses are apparently geared to teaching the other side a lesson, and vicey versa. No one pays attention to the "lesson" for a second. Instead, they ratchet up their outrage.

I've heard Arabs on the radio say that many of the Palestinian youth that Israel holds in jail have no blood on their hands. Arriving at the truth of that would be damn near impossible.

The inescapable bottom line for me is that the region has way more people now than it can support. The Dead Sea is drying up because of all the irrigation water pulled out upstream. With it will go massive tourist dollars.

Unemployment in Arab lands is way high. Most of the Arabs evolved from years of tribal fighting in harsh conditions. I suspect "forged in a fiery furnace" is not inaccurate.

I think I'll be looking at roughly the same stuff while on my deathbed.

That'd be a fun way to spend an afternoon, eh?

Israel attacks people after being provoked. From what I understand about the Lebanese invasion is that a terrorist group, not HAMAS, but the other big one over there kidnapped two Israeli soldiers then fled to Lebanon. I believe the terrorist group has strong power in the government or there is some connection between the terrorist group and the Lebanese.

The reason everyone attacks Israel is because they are Jewish and the so called Palestinians believe that the only good Jew is a dead Jew, thus the reason they go into cafes and blow up innocent civilians. The extremist Muslims believe that Israel should be destroyed at all costs, that is why the Muslim countries have attacked Israel several times.

That is a very brief and round-about lesson in Israeli-Middle Eastern relations.

Thanks
David

Oh Bot, you and your obscure Biblical references.

Everything was just honkey-dorey until Hamas kidnapped an Israeli soldier...then Hezbollah (sp?) just had to get into the act.

Neithr Hamas nor Hez appears to give a damn about what happenes to the innocent civilians that have to live where they (H&H) hide. It is almost as if they somehow like it when Israel unleashes all mighty hell on them.

Don't want to get your ass kicked by Israel?

Then leave the Jews alone.

After what happened in WWII, no Jew is ever going to let another nation, or group of people, kill Jews with impunity.

Incidentally, and to no one's surprise, the anti-Semitic Russian and French governments came out attacking Israel. The more things change, the more they remain the same. Damn the French and Russian bastards!!!

Exactly...and they attack us (the US) because we support Israel. To them we are all the same.

I worked with a lawyer for a while. She had dual citizenship and had served in the Israeli Army.

She was one tough cookie.

The Seven Day War...Egypt, Syria, Jordan and the rest of the usual suspects ganged up on Israel.

They got their ass kicked for their troubles...and Israel showed the superiority of American made weapons over the Russian and French made garbage the other guys were using.

Do you (I should say when) think the US will get involved and how does Iran figure into the equasion? Any enlightenment is appreciated.

Bush has too many things on his plate. I doubt thatt he US will get actively involved...maybe some behind the scenes diplomacy.

I read a news report that the two Israeli soldiers were being transported to Iran for "safekeeping"

Hitler Jr. (aka the Iranian "president") would love nothing better than to: a. hold Jewish prisioners and b. provoke Israel into all-out war.

Muchas Gracias por la lession El Capitan... Now Bush and diplomacy don't belong in the same sentence and how long is it before those two prisoners end up dead in Iran and then the real fight is on. this is gonna be one big mess WW3...
