Nov. 26, 2006, 2:11 p.m.Who the hell gave us the right to be the guardians of the universe? Why do we feel the need to parade around "liberating" third-world countries? Isn't this what the U.N. is for?

Nov. 26, 2006, 3:34 p.m.Evidently, the Israelis DO see the flying pigs because they "want to give the truce a chance" even though the (excuse the redundancy) Arab terrorists continue to attack.

Nov. 26, 2006, 2:42 p.m.I believe that most of those living in the area would like to have peace.
However, the Int'l Terrorists do not want peace, they want their will to be what is, not the will of the people!
The murder of civilian men, women, & children for no purpose other than to create terror is the definition by the UN for a terrorist!
Maybe it is time for the people to get rid of the Int'l Terrorists in their midst!
Ireland has brought their terrorists to hand and look at the success they are having! People have money and kids can be outside to play without worrying about dying!
What do you think?

What do you base this belief on?
"What do you think?"
I think that the Arab culture is such that, if they could butcher all the Jews at will, they would do so gleefully.

""Who the hell gave us the right to be the guardians of the universe? Why do we feel the need to parade around "liberating" third-world countries? Isn't this what the U.N. is for?""
You mean like the 2,000 UN troops disarmed the terrorists in Lebanon over the past 4 years prior to the current Israel vs. Lebanon terrorist conflict?
Or maybe you are referring to the current UN troops that have disarmed the terrorists since the conflict by letting them get more than the 10,000 missiles than they had before the conflict started? These missiles are bigger, more accurate, have a longer range, & have a bigger payload? I guess to kill more civilian men, women, & children?
Is this what you mean by let the UN do it?

Nov. 26, 2006, 4:31 p.m.Just to play devils advocate and spur some thought. How does anyone really know that Palestine is shooting rockets off? Seen any films? Any dead bodies? Nope. I see lots of film about Israeli attacks but none for israel. Why? Maybe they aren't being truthful, again. Israel does the reporting, and eacdh time it claims it was attacked, but with all the surveilence they have in that state, couldn't they produce one short film? Just a thought. And Israel has been leaving the region for 35 years now. Between being lost in a 2 day to cross desert for 40 years and 35 years to leave one little city, maybe someone should invest in a compass.

Nov. 26, 2006, 4:56 p.m."How does anyone really know that Palestine is shooting rockets off?"
Is first hand testimony OK?
"Seen any films? Any dead bodies? Nope."
I'm willing to be you haven't looked. I've seen funerals. The Israelis don't parade dead bodies the way the Arabs do.
"I see lots of film about Israeli attacks but none for israel. Why? "
Because you're not interested in those type of films.
"Maybe they aren't being truthful, again."
And maybe they are - as usual.
"Israel does the reporting, ... couldn't they produce one short film? Just a thought."
Actually, all the reports I've seen in my local paper have an Arab byline. And I have seen at least one film, but not on the major networks. Could it be that they're biased in favor of the Arabs...Just a thought.
"And Israel has been leaving the region for 35 years now."
True...each time for peace. In exchange, the Arabs have been murdering Jews. Time for a change in tactics.

Nov. 27, 2006, 3:11 a.m.Gordon: Conversing with you is interesting and I enjoy it. One of these days we just might see eye to eye, but I doubt it. I've had my share of war, so death and sorrow are not new or shocking to me. Allowing senseless murder and continued atrocities is however. The world hass condemned Israels actions, yet it continues. Eventually, the world will get fed up and put a boot in Israels butt. And if you check history, Israel has never been for peace. They claim to be, but their actions always promote conflicts. And after hundreds of stories, I have gotten tired of trying to find the truth in anything they say. It saves time and energy just to assume they lie about everything. That is the usual outcome anyway. Tel aviv is a big place, you just have to watch who sits next to you to make sure he doesn't have a napsack or backpack. Any opposing view would be playing devils advocate here, and my views definately oppose, but thanks for permission, like I needed it.

Nov. 26, 2006, 8:55 p.m.The reason we only hear about or see Palastinian casulties and not Israeli casulties is because of where we are. In most of the "western" world, the bulk of the media and a few vocal celebrities are noticably anti Israel. During the Lebonon "war", there were loud news stories anytime an Israeli strike hit a bus or a school, or damaged a bridge the civilians often cross. There was VERY LITTLE news about the Hezbolah targets they were trying to get, or destroyed in other parts of the country. This gave the public impression that Israel was simply out on a slaughter mission to kill innocents. We heard almost NOTHING about the results of the THOUSANDS of rockets the terrorists launched at Israeli cities. That's what we were fed. Anti-Israeli hatred.

Nov. 26, 2006, 4:59 p.m.Well it is because the terrorist has been made that way because his mother failed him during potty training! Or some such nonesense!! LOL
The point is that the whole world is aligning against Israel because God said they would in the Bible. I am not condoning nor do I see it as punishment for anything. It is just the way it is. Why is that tiny strip of land called Israel so important to countries ten times their size and ten thousand miles away? :-) Hm-m-m-m??

Palestians are a hopeless bunch. They danced in great jubilation when 911 occurred and it just wasn't the men. Our lefty news networks wouldn't show because they wanted to be PC. We sympathize with their poverty, but they bring a lot of it on themselves.

Nov. 26, 2006, 4:53 p.m.After months of massacring Palestinian civilians Israel pulls out of an occupied territory and expects that militants are going to abide by a ceasefire? The simple fact is, Israel begets violence because it inflicts violence and it does so assymetrically. The US munitions manufacturers and Big Oil barons thrive off of this violence because they use it as an excuse to rationalize a presence in the oil rich region and preserve the conflict from which they profit.
It is clear that the situation lends itself to mutual intolerance and mutual extermination.

Nov. 26, 2006, 5:01 p.m."After months of massacring Palestinian civilians"
LOL...Israel has been warning terrorist leaders and calling off attacks because of "human" shields. Some massacre.
"Israel pulls out of an occupied territory and expects that militants are going to abide by a ceasefire?"
That's what a truce is supposed to achieve.
"The simple fact is, Israel begets violence because it inflicts violence and it does so assymetrically."
The simple fact is, the terrorists and their supporters are a bloodthirsty and murderous people who inflict violence because they enjoy it. They, unlike Israeli, are unwilling to abide by the truce. That's the fact.
"It is clear that the situation lends itself to mutual intolerance and mutual extermination."
I wish the Israelis would try to exterminate the terrorists. It's clear that they haven't.

I know they bring it on themselves. I am sick to death of seeing people come in here and saying things like how do we know it's the Palestinians doing this. It's always Israel's fault and never the terrorists. That is what I was getting at.
I can not believe that there are so many people who believe that the Palestinians do not bring this on to themselves. But then again these people are cut from the same mold that believed Hitler was not a problem. And oh yeah these same people told their Gov't at the time that he was not a threat but they were.
See history does repeat itself.

Nov. 26, 2006, 5:35 p.m.netherworld: What! When did Israel ever abide an agreement? When have they ever succumb to United nations mandates and treaty agreements? Why does Israel have more than 455 UN violations still pending? How many does palestine have? What agreement is it that palestine has not lived up to?
-
cherev
Nov. 26, 2006, 5:40 p.m."When did Israel ever abide an agreement?"
They abided by all of them until it became apparent that the Arabs did not.
"When have they ever succumb to United nations mandates and treaty agreements?"
Frequently, if not always.
"Why does Israel have more than 455 UN violations still pending? How many does palestine have? "
Because the UN has "issues" with Jews. The UN has no problem with Arabs bombing Jews, but when the Israelis retaliate, the UN issues condemnations. Hardly fair, is it?
"What agreement is it that palestine has not lived up to?"
The Arabs haven't lived up to a single agreement that they've signed. Not one.

Didn't Saddam promise to pay Suicide Bomber families in Palestine $25,000 for each bombing they inflicted on the Jews?

Nov. 26, 2006, 6:06 p.m.Cherev: Your history is a little off. These are not the jews of the bible. These are russian converts from Kharzani. These guys aren't protected by anyone except us, for the time being, that is. You failed to address my question of the kol nidre, why? Isn't that the jewish prayer that demands lying under all conditions? Especially under oath? I think it is. You do it well. I have to run and pick someone up and enjoy the rest of my evening out. I'm glad I can't stay as debating obvious errors in your thinking could only frustrate rational thought. You have managed to twist everything real into some ficticious story that sounds exactly like an Israeli was speaking, Israel would be proud. I have no need to defame Israel, it does quite a fine job of that on their own. The world is learning as we speak. Time is running out for liars and murderers, and they will suffer for their sins, all of them. Peace to you, you need some. I will pray for your kind.

Nov. 26, 2006, 6:10 p.m."Your history is a little off. These are not the jews of the bible. These are russian converts from Kharzani."
Your sanity is a not just a little off.
"These guys aren't protected by anyone except us, for the time being, that is."
In your dreams.
"You failed to address my question of the kol nidre, why?"
You didn't ask one.
"Isn't that the jewish prayer that demands lying under all conditions? Especially under oath? I think it is."
Then you've never read it.
"You do it well. "
From you, that's a compliment.
"I have to run"
Cut and run.
"I will pray for your kind"
Praying to Satan will not help you. Never has.

Nov. 26, 2006, 6:50 p.m."where exactly did you dredge up "Russian converts from Kharzani" "
It's one of many discredited attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the Jewish people. It has all the scholarly validity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and "Mein Kampf".
"I wouldn't know the "kol nidre" if it came up and slapped me in the face"
His point regarding the "Kol Nidre" was that Jews are liars. It's obvious he has never read it, doesn't understand it's historical or religious significance, and merely seeks to defame the Jewish people and undermine the State of Israel irregardless of the truth.

Nov. 27, 2006, 3:31 a.m.Gordon:It would be very easy to furnish you with information about the DNA studies done at Israels request, and the findings, but you wouldn't buy my opinion, so why not read it for yourself. Look for gene expression, and it can explain the dna findings, which Israel rejected at the end, because it stated that approx90% of the Israeli jews were of Kharzani orign. That would be the area known now as Georgis Russia, and that means that these were converts and not jewish by blood. Your term dredge was insulting, and you will learn that I don't dredge, I research, and I'm good at it.

this link will introduce you to the kol nidre prayer, if interested. This isn't news, it's been around for quite some time. I would expect a world traveler like yourself to be up on this kind of stuff.

Nov. 26, 2006, 6:22 p.m.so, Iran supports Hezbollah, Syria and Hamas. Hezbollah killed many many marines, Syria kills Lebanon politicians, Hamas kills Israeli civilians and celebrated the deaths on 9/11. Iran uses Hamas and the palestinans as pawns, as road kill. Iran wants to control the middle east and become a world power and spread radical islam throughtout the world.
Cease-fire, they don't want a cease-fire their puppet master wants a world war.
