Israel Blockades Lebanon

First you're dreaming if you think the U is going to stop giving Israel aid will it is still under threat. Second, that none of the Arab state want to recognize Israel's right to exist and have peacefull relationship with Israel is Israel's fault how???
 
erm, I daresay bombing the Arab countries civilian population everytime they upset you doesn't help international relations.
 
oh yeah, and it only takes one change of administration and the US' foreign policy will change in an instant.
 
perhaps this new war is in the interest of the US government, while Israel is busy slaughtering Lebanese civlilians all eyes are away Iraq.
 
Oh really? Do you also think you will remain young and strong forever? All strength eventually turns to weakness, look around you its everywhere. Likewise all great superpowers and economies will eventually decline, and do you think the US is gonna be emptying its pockets to feed the Israelis? Especially now, with the emergence of economies like China and India, as well as idiotic Presidents and US dependence on oil. No one remains strong forever, change is the only constant. Israel either has to be self sufficient, which it most likely cant do, where the hell is it gonna get the $$$ for its defense budget if the US is not coughing up?



Do you build your home smack dab in the middle of your enemies? That has to be a stupid thing to do. Oh, but wait a holly book says the land is ours. Stupid idea from the beginning in my opinion.

If Israel wants long term survival, it has to mend years of broken relationships with its neighbors and restore peace. Otherwise when the strong weaken, the weak will strengthen and I’m sure you can figure out the rest.
 
The French????? Have you been consuming hallucinigens???

When was the last time the French stepped up to the plate and did anything meaningful outside of a kitchen.

The Brits will side with the US.

The Italians will just talk about it.

The Germans haven't done anything militarily sice they were doing the goose-step. (BTW for you young people...they lost both wars to the US. )

The Russians are making too much money on this whole thing to get involved.

Don't worry, the UN can pass another resolution.

Let them slug it out and finish it. It will just start up again later.

For all of those people stuck in Beriut....(I mean no Lebannonese)

HELLO!!!! Its Beriut!!!!

What did you expect everyone to join hands and sing Cumbaya?????

Did you all fail history class???
 
Erm, I daresay having people kidnapping your citizens, doing suicide bombing runs against your children, thumbing their nose at international law doesn't help relations either. Perhaps if someone would stop doing those things, Israel would stop bombing them.
 
wow that is a whole lot of ignorance per square inch in this last post. i think that might be some kind of record.

good work man.
 
Umm have you been watching the Middle East at all? All of Israel's neibors don't want peace with Israel, they want its destruction.

Israel's economy is self sufficent. Necessity is the mother of invention. Israel will come up with a way to defend itself with out US support but that isn't very likely.
 
And the sooner the US stops babysitting and spoonfeeding Israel, the sooner they'll have to learn to stand on their own two feet. After 60 years perhaps the spoilt brat of the Middle East could start to grow up. Always a case of my dad's bigger than yours

How many decades does it take for them to realise that constant military punishments of your neighbours simply makes things worse.


Without US support, political, financial and military, Israel would have to no other option but choose a civilised route to peace. Infact without the US aid Israel would be pretty insignificant.

Time for Uncle Sam to cut the apron strings. Time for Israel to grow up.
 
Even if Hillary Clinton got elected, the US isn't going to abandon Israel in 4 years. It just isn't going to happen. We aren't the same as the UK. Our politics are different than yours.

There are too many Jewish people with money and influence here as well as too many Christians that will support Israel regardless of any facts to the contrary. We don't have the percentage of Muslim population here that you do. We have a perceived value out of the relationship with Israel that we most likely would not have if Israel didn't exist.
 
I suppose that Egypt, the Palestinans, Jordan, Saudia Arabia, Pakistan, Kuwait and other Muslim countries can stop getting all foreign aid themselves so that they can grow up. They must develop their own nuclear & weapons technology without help from the French, Russians and Chinese etc etc. Not just Israel
 
Actually, I think it is time for the people that want Israel to cease to exist to grow up and stop whining. They exist.

What civilized route do you think Israel should take? Cease to exist? Because that is what her enemies want.
 
Well I have to say as a professional historian that if you passed any history class on the 20th century with those as your conclusions then it was a very dubious marking scheme. The French and the Germans have been heavily involved in peacekeeping duties in Eastern Europe and Africa among other places. The Germans still goose-step on some ceremonial occasions.

The US didn't win two world wars (in fact in both world wars the tide turned before the US military got actively involved, though I won't deny that their participation had a major effect). The course of the second world war was decided in Russia and Africa, not western Europe.
 
So which of those countries bombs the crap out of their neighbours civilian population over the kidnap of 2 soldiers?

Hey I know, Pakistan & India both have nuclear capability, next time a couple of soldiers get kidnapped they should 'do an Israel' and bomb the hell out of Karachi or Delhi

The truth is unlike Israel, they could not get away with it.

Two words. Compromise and diplomacy.
 
So who beat the Japanese? Hmmm

I remeber the US suppling the UK before US got involved in fighting WW2

If the US didn't show up in Europe in WW2 the British were strong enough to win the Western Front alone or would you the UK have waited for Stalin?
 
Well, it would be a very easy way to solve a lot of problems in the Middle East.
 
I have to somewhat agree with him. I mean it's not like they can win any wars with their military. Is it any surprise that they sold the weapons that they couldn't figure out how to use? The fact is that they, along with Russia, were Sadam Hussein's largest provider of weapons?
 
so who kidnaps foreigh soldiers? Hezbollah & Hamas

Who stard inifadas after walking away from a peace plan? the PLO

Who armes these groups with plans on destroying their "enemy"? Iran, Syria & Saddam's Iraq
 
Well, if it wasn't for the Japanese you guys wouldn't have even bothered turning up
