miked10270 0 #353 July 27, 2006 Quote... the idea of Isreal deliberately targetting the UN ... anyone enlighten me as to a motive? I could only speculate: 1. Was there something in particular that the UN Observation post was likely to observe? 2. Stalls & stymies the Rome conference which was ongoing at the time? 3. Inhibits the formation of a UN Force to enforce peace & give Israel more time to gain it's own objectives (Decimation of Hezb'Allah; Scorched-Earth DMZ in Southern Lebanon)? Having said that, I really believe that the current Israeli Government is incompetent, vicious, inhumane, and has ultimately damaged world stability quite seriously! Even Al Quaeda has come out of the woodwork & ridden some free publicity! Somewhere down the line, America & Americans, The West & Westerners, are going to pay the price for Israel's latest adventurism. Bear in mind that the one thing Extremists & Terrorists (of any persuasion) hate most is peace, comfort & stability. That sort of stuff causes a nasty outbreak of peace & happiness. There's no revolutionary zeal among happy folk. Mike. PS: Some complain that Hezb'Allah targets the general Israeli population. Bear in mind that Israel still has conscription, so there are a lot of reservists in the population. However, at the rate Israel is calling up reservists, that should reduce. However, in calling up reservists, what is that going to do to the Israeli economy? Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

I think that is a ridicules statement when it comes to terrorists. The first so-called terrorist were the IRA. I don’t think there were anti peace and comfort. Terrorist are born out of opposition. One person’s terrorist is anothers freedom fighter. Extremists i agree with 100%.

Gives Israel more time to pursue it's objectives: 1. Decimate Hezb'Allah. 2. Create a "Scorched-Earth" environment for their desired security zone which is exclusively in Southern Lebanon. Mike.

Amazon 7 #360 July 27, 2006 Quote1. Decimate Hezb'Allah. 2. Create a "Scorched-Earth" environment for their desired security zone which is exclusively in Southern Lebanon. Sounds good to me.... since that is where they TRIED to leave 6 years ago.. but Hezbollah has continued to attack over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Based on a minor incident, the new & harder line (something to prove?) Israeli government goes in with the shiny new "Scorched-Earth" plan. After all, if enemy "Freedom-Fighters" hide in the general population, then get rid of the general-population. No houses, no businesses, no farms, no people, etc... Means that anything that is there HAS to be "The-Enemy", right? It really makes sense if you don't give a fuck about World opinion, justice, (non-israeli) human rights & co-existence... And you have a big mate always ready to stop any attempts to inject a degree of fairness & justice into the situation you have created. Israel doesn't want to occupy Southern Lebanon. They want no-one to occupy southern labanon. They're effectively trying to create a big wide moat around their country. Like any military will clear any cover around a position which may need to be defended. I can see the logic, but also the injustice and violation of basic human rights in the practical application of this policy by Israel. It's simply a further application of what they have done in evicting non-Jews in the past. Mike. PS: Note the lack of excessive repetition of a phrase to make a point.

They have seemed to try to move out of Lebanon... and just continued to get attacks...the Arabs will NOT make peace..... then time for war... take off the gloves.. and kick their enemies butts. Crying about all the UN REsolutions that have been put forth by a group of idiots is a waste of time.. NEITHER side has complied with them... Israel is a very small country in Area....and population in comparison to all of their peace loving muslim neighbors. Most of them have an avowed goal of wiping them off the face of the map...I guess in your world.. a few more million jews is a small price to pay to have another Chamberlain moment with "Peace in our time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miked10270 0 #363 July 27, 2006 Sorry mate, Too busy crying about all those UN Resolutions that were vetoed by a bunch of idiots. Bear in mind that Israel's Islamic neighbours began expelling Jews in response to Israel's actions. Study your history BEFORE you criticise Chamberlain or his actions. You may object to "Peace in our time". Most folk who have actually been involved in a war are really quite keen on it. Where have I ever promoted of celebrated Jews being killed? Surely the idea is for ALL killing to stop, both Israeli and non-Israeli. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

miked10270 0 #365 July 27, 2006 QuoteIn the interest of promoting inter-religious tolerance, let's all contemplate the following: A Catholic Priest & an Imam are sitting next to each other on a flight to Jerusalem. The Priest turns to the Imam and says: "Your religion prohibits Pork. Now (begorrah), I like a bacon sandwich. Have you ever tried one?" The Imam turns and says: Well... Yes. When I was younger, I preached in Ireland and I must admit I developed a taste for bacon & eggs for breakfast. I liked it, but sadly I had to give it up." The Priest said: "That's a shame. You must really miss it." The Imam then said: What about you? You're expected to be celibate, but have you ever experienced sex?" The priest replied: Well... Like yourself, when I was younger, there was a girl in a parish I served. Lovely girl. We had a torrid affair for 3 months before she moved away. It was nice." The Imam looked up from his Koran and said: "That's a shame... Better than Bacon, eh!" Mike. Which only goes to prove that Catholicism is far easier to take the piss out of than Judaism or Islam!

jakee 1,255 #366 July 28, 2006 A Priest, an Imam and a Rabbi joined forces to raise money for charity, afterwards they met up to decide how much to skim off the top for 'expenses'. The Imam says, "Lets draw a circle on the ground, throw all the money up in the air and whatever lands in the circle we keep for ourselves." The Priest says "Well that's a great idea, but I think we should keep whatever lands outside the circle, we did do a lot of work to raise this money." The Rabbi says "You both raise very good points, but I have a better idea. We throw all the money up in the air and whatever God wants he can keep!"Do you want to have an ideagasm?
