Seriously…what can one expect from someone who uses a Photo Shopped pic to justify their looneyness… :loco:[/quote]
A ‘looney’ is someone who supports the dropping of bombs on innocents. You do all over the middle east, so you should be sectioned.
And don’t give me any of this precision bomb nonsense.

Do you know what a BDA is? I do, up close and personal. It ain’t pretty.
Don’t talk shit you dont know about.
I obviously support Israels right to defend its people and its borders against murdering terrorist thugs.
Since you support the murdering terrorist thugs…its clear we are not going to agree on a whole lot of things.
Thats life…sin loi ma noi… 
[quote=“Tigerman”][quote=“cake”]If Israel were to pull back to the 67 borders, get rid of settlements and allow the Palestinians to have a state, the likes of Hezbollah would lose a lot of sympathy throughout the world.
Then there would be sympathy for Israel if they were attacked.[/quote]
Are you so sure about that?
I mean, per my admittedly limited understanding of the situation, Israel voluntarily pulled out of Gaza, after evacuating its own settlers, and left the land to the Palestinian authorities.
Terrorists then began to launch rockets from this newly acquired real estate into Israel and then captured an Israeli soldier. Soon thereafter, terrorists in Lebanon began doing likewise.
I think that some people will never be sympathetic to Israel, regardless of the situation.[/quote]
Well let’s see the Israelis pull out of the Golan Heights and West bank.
No regime change in Syria will accept giving the Golan Heights up and quite rightly so.
But if there is peace in the middle east, then there will be billions of US taxpayers dollars in aid (The U.S. gives $15,139,178 per day to the Israeli government and military) cut off.
And Israel doen’t want that. It would be screwed without that cash.
There will never be an end to the madness there. Everyone knows what the majority of the world supports - a two state system based on the pre 6 day war borders, but Israel doesn’t.

I don’t care about what bombs you know about. It means jack shit to me. Tell that to the parents of kids they blow up and see if there is any sympathy then.
Where do I say I support murdering terrorist thugs?
Which side are you talking about there? Israel or Hezbollah?
I don’t see why the Israelis should do that, now. I mean, they pulled out of Gaza and were rewarded with attacks from Gaza. Why should they pull out of the Golan Heights and West Bank and risk additional attacks from those areas?

because of the shame the Arabs feel for getting their asses kicked repeatedly of course!
Well they should pull out because it isn’t their land for one.
Then if the UN had any balls they could send a force there that aren’t afraid to defend the area.
Possession. 0.9. :s How/why did Israel come to possess those lands?
If “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts…
No amount of Regime Change in Syria will ever solve the Golan Heights problem unless it is returned to Syria.

Hello, if Syria didn’t stick their noses into the fray, the Golan Heihgts would still be theirs.
TFS.
I just watched a few minutes of CNN this morning and was surprised to see very graphic hospital scenes where a heavily wounded Lebanese was taken to the operation table with doctors trying to save his life. Blood everywhere. Leg barely hanging on to the body. Patient dead in the end.
I wonder why CNN shows these images?

gore sells
Of course they’d never show that if it was a westerner. It’s okay to show wogs in all their bloodied horror, but they’d have to fuzz it out if it was a real person.

Could it be that Israel bars CNN camera teams from shooting and broadcasting such images ? I do not know.
Hmm…wonder if this patient was a Hezbollah terrorist?
Was that mentioned?

Ah that’s a bit mean. You know that alot of people being affected by this ‘war’ are civilians. Play nice.

No slight intended. I think this is a valid Q.
On other sites a discussion was started as to what # of the ‘civilians’ reported as killed or injured are, in fact, targeted Hezbollah terrorists.
I have a hard time believing that none of the Hezzies’ have been takenout so far. Yet I have not seen any valid reports of their losses.
Unnerstan whut I mean?
Hezbollah announced the name of one of their guys taken out, so far. There’s gotta be more than that, though, you’d think. In addition, there’s been maybe a dozen Israeli soldiers and sailors killed, a UN official and his wife, a Canadian family, and various other non-combatants. Butcher’s bill thus far is something like 250 Lebanese vs. 25 Israelis.
btw, how many other democracies are there in the region? Israel is one, Lebanon another… Wait a sec, what are the benefits of democracy again???
