No not good for them FUCK THEM. They are no better than the countries that surround them they just have better weapons. What makes isreal any diffrent than the " terrorists" they attack?

[Minrott]

Their language doesn't sound like two monkeys fucking?

[Tuggan]

i dunno, hebrew or yiddish or whatever the fuck jews speak is pretty disgusting sounding to my ears.

[Minrott]

Maybe so, but Arab or Farsi or wtf makes Cantonese sound clear as glass to me. Why do they repeat everything they say 5 times?

Also, that comment isn't really meant to be a valid argument.

Cliffs notes please, that news site isn't showing it for me for some reason. D:

Your forces are under attack!

Israel attacked the Arabs in southern Lebanon and initiated a sea/air blockade around the area. The Arabs retaliated by attacking Haifa with over 100 rockets.

[Narrock]

Go go Israel!!!

[Arlos]

Honestly, I think it's making the situation there worse. Just look at the status of the area before all this happened and now.

Before, Abbas was in the process of forcing Hamas to agree to sign off on an agreement on Israel's right to exist, and had something like 60%+ backing among the Palestinian civilian population for said referendum.

Now: that referendum is dead as a dornail. Not only do they have the 1 kidnapped soldier, there's what, 2 or 3 more that have been captured. The area is on the brink of War between Israel and Lebanon, if it isn't already at war. (might as well be, given what's going on)

Yes, I can understand the desire to get the hostage back. However, what Israel is doing has hardly secured his release, correct?

Honestly, I think they're playing right into the hands of whoever arranged the kidnapping. Bet you $$$ that whoever arranged it didn't like the possibility of an accord between Israel and Hamas, and arranged the kidnapping knowing Israel would go berserk, and thus ruin any chance of such an accord. Well, seems to have worked damn well, eh?

This is going to get worse before it gets better.

I wouldn't speak much until you understand what is going on in your back yard.

I still firmly believe you are so burnt out on drugs and constant blows to the head that you can barely function as a human being, nevermind discuss politics.

I agree with Arlos as well. This was a purposefully staged catalyst to do away with the peace with Israel. (wtf, did I just say that?)

when I hear chinese people speak it always sounds like: "shee-shwah, shee-shwah shwo..." over and over again.

Well for starters I don't see Israeli’s preaching death to America as Hezbollah leaders have done on a routine basis, I dunno, thats a big one in my book. Admittedly I'm biased here, mainly because I love and take pride in my country (a seemingly increasing unpopular view), and believe it should look out for it's self. it's allies and do what is in the best interest of both, and should not feel bad about doing so.

For years the United States has often urged Israel to exercise restraint, to help facilitate peaceful solutions, in some cases even looked down on Israel’s actions when they did take an aggressive approach.

In the days after 9/11 I struggled with my thoughts and feelings, I was for a short time appalled by the gut feeling that we should hunt down and destroy those responsible without restraint and without letting anyone stand in our way, and to deal with any who did with swift and deadly force. As a general rule I don't condone violence unless it's a last resort, I did a lot of soul searching wondering how it was that my feelings were so driven by wrath and a need for revenge. Then I came to the realization that this was not really the case. The real reason I had feelings of this nature were not born out of revenge but of prevention. I realized we were dealing with people for whom there is only one form of meaningful communication, and that is violence. Violence is all they understand, it's what they preach, it's what they live. You can not comprise with this, there is no true middle ground, appeasement will not work, you must eliminate the threat and send the message that violent actions will be met with a swift, uncompromising overwhelming response.

How hypocritical and wrong it has been for my country and my government to ask Israel to exercise restraint, to stay it's hand when it's populations sons, daughters, mothers and fathers are killed by these people who feel they should be wiped off the face of the planet. No I think it's time we lighten up on Israel, allow them to make responses that deter instead of urging them to make continued failed attempts to pacify.

Oh and spazz known members of Hezbollah are wanted by the US for thier roles in a TERRORIST hijacking of a TWA flight, and the brutal murder of an American Navy Soldier... so don't put the word terrorist in quotes as if it's debatable you fucking moron.

Arlos I don't think you have to look to deep to find those behind the kidnapping, those who truly don't want peace. I'd start with those who profess that Israel is an illegal country who's existence should be ended, you know the Hezbollah?

* Israel was only given 18% of the land that they were entitled to under the original League of Nations decree.

* In the hopes of establishing peace with it's Islamic neighbors, Israel has taken the unprecedented step of actually giving away even more land, even after winning decisive battle after battle.

* The Islamic FUNDAMENTALISTS use this land to continue their 'final solution' of trying to wipe out Israel.

* The UN turns a blind eye to every attack made by the Islamic FUNDAMENTALISTS and condems Israel every time they retaliate.

* Israel goes out of its way to avoid taking out innocent civilians in these conflicts.

* The Islamic FUNDAMENTALISTS purposely TARGET women and children.

If you really want to get into it, I'll explain why the entire "Palestinian" issue is a sham.

Finally, as you see above, I stress Islamic FUNDAMENTALISTS. These people are not extremists. They are just following the letter of the law of Islam. Do not believe the LIE that Islam is peace. Islam calls for the extermination of the Jews. Hell, it calls for the extermination of anyone that doesn't swear that Allah is the one true god and that Muhammed is his prophet.

If any Muslim tells you otherwise, then they aren't following the TRUE Islam, or they are LYING.

[Phlegm]

By the way, some of the rockets/missiles fired at Haifa were made in Iran.

[Phlegm]

Israel just took out Hezbollah headquarter with rockets.

[Captain Insano]

pwned... this is fucking great... I hope the middle east implodes and WWIII kicks off. I'm bored.
