Israel tells Gazans to brace for war escalation

I think the world is tired of terrorism, people blowing up other people for no reason, and if the Israelis can put an end to a little of it, so be it. I still don't see mass demonstrations going on from capital to capital, even in Iran, just a lot of blather.

Bettyboop, Newsvine writer, has posted an article concerning a woman who detonated herself in front of a mosque in Iraq, and murdered 38 people. Good headline, true story, people murdered in coldblood for no reason other than religious hatreds and vengence, and only two posted comments, Betty and me.

Yes, Field Marshall, people want terrorism to stop. Even in Palestine's West Bank, people go about their business as if Gaza is not helping. Surely, if they cared, wouldn't they have opened up another front. Lebanon lobs a couple of rockets into Israel, I guess they want their entire infrastructure destroyed again.

Americans commit resources to Iraq, and Afghanistan, but it is nothing more than a police action similar to Viet Nam. In Viet Nam we fought over the mastery of rubber plantations, but here was a response to over 3000 Americans murdered in an act of terrorism. The difference in the act did not cause a difference in the response.

Americans have no stomach for war, and we have no stomach to inflict the kind of damage that terrorists respect. If our behavior concerning responses to terrorism in Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India continues, we will soon see them here.

The reason there was only 2 comments about the woman suicide bomber in Iraq is because she was Muslim and they get excused for behavior like that, but let Israel defend itself them oh my goodness, Iseal is a bunch of baby killers.  It's pathetic really.  There was a post about the rockets that have been falling in an Israeli town for over a year and there were only 2 posts there too. 

Psimon, this is exactly correct. Our supposedly Jewish run media has demonized Israel, holding this country to a standard no other country on earth is expected to attain, yet the Islamic terrorists can run amock and nothing is mentioned.

Israel has reached a point where it can no longer tolerate the kind of terrorism we, in the West, are willing to put up with so long as it does not get the kind of press it really deserves.

Dismissed as silly. They would have done it in any of the previous wars in which they were invaded and fought them off, opening up for a real take over. But, did not happen then, and won't happen now.

They would have done it in any of the previous wars in which they were invaded and fought them off, opening up for a real take over.

Israel was still concerned about world opinion because they needed Europe and the US. Now that Europe has seen through the lies and the US is beginning to nothing will hold them back.

They started this all back in the early 1900s escalated after WWII by stealing more and more land , now want to finish the job.

Who the heck stole land? Israel has never invaded another country in order to seize more territory.

They have been invaded although, countless times. Each time, they have come out victorious and seized lands to expand there borders to become more definsible perparing for the next time the Arabs invaded.

Go read a history book.

Who the heck stole land?

Jewish Europeans who invade Palestine:

 "Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population." Moshe Dayan, address to the Technion, Haifa, reported in Haaretz, April 4, 1969.

 "We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, What is to be done with the Palestinian population?' Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said 'Drive them out!'" Yitzhak Rabin, leaked censored version of Rabin memoirs, published in the New York Times, 23 October 1979

 "We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population." Israel Koenig, "The Koenig Memorandum"

Go read a history book.

You might want to take your own advice

The country of Israel was formed in 1948 by the United Nations. There was never a country of "Palestine".

There's these things called "History Books", they're very cool. You should go to your local library and read one.

It was part of the Ottoman Empire then part of the British Empire; however Palestinians were living there until they were forced of the land by Jewish terrorists.

Like I said, history books are cool, and educational. You haven't gotten or read one yet.

Here, I'll educate you real quick.

In 1947, the British government withdrew from commitment to the Mandate of Palestine, stating it was unable to arrive at a solution acceptable to both Arabs and Jews. The newly created United Nations approved the UN Partition Plan (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181) on November 29, 1947, dividing the country into two states, one Arab and one Jewish. Jerusalem was to be designated an international city – a corpus separatum – administered by the UN to avoid conflict over its status. The Jewish community accepted the plan, but the Arab League and Arab Higher Committee rejected it. On December 1, 1947 the Arab Higher Committee proclaimed a 3-day strike, and Arab bands began attacking Jewish targets. Civil war began with the Jews initially on the defensive but gradually moving into offence. The Palestinian-Arab economy collapsed and 250,000 Palestinian-Arabs fled or were expelled. On May 14, 1948, the day before the end of the British Mandate, the Jewish Agency proclaimed independence, naming the country Israel. The following day five Arab countries – Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq –invaded Israel, launching the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Morocco, Sudan, Yemen and Saudi Arabia also sent troops to assist the invaders. After a year of fighting, a ceasefire was declared and temporary borders, known as the Green Line, were established. Jordan annexed what became known as the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Egypt took control of the Gaza Strip. Israel was admitted as a member of the United Nations on May 11, 1949. During the conflict 711,000 Arabs, according to UN estimates, or about 80% of the previous Arab population, fled the country. The fate of the Palestinian refugees today is a major point of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

the reason why the Palestinians fled? Well, the Arab countries asked them to so that when they invaded, they can kill every man, woman, and child and give them the land the people of Israel had. Basically, the Arabs would bomb the country and level the area.

Arab countries over the years refused to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, and Arab nationalists led by Nasser called for the destruction of the state. In 1967, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan massed troops close to Israeli borders, expelled UN peacekeepers and blocked Israel's access to the Red Sea. Israel saw these actions as a casus belli for a pre-emptive strike that launched the Six-Day War, Israel achieved a decisive victory in which it captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula and Golan Heights The 1949 Green Line became the administrative boundary between Israel and the occupied territories. Jerusalem's boundaries were enlarged, incorporating East Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Law, passed in 1980, reaffirmed this measure and reignited international controversy over the status of Jerusalem.

The failure of the Arab states in the 1967 war led to the rise of Arab non-state actors in the conflict, most importantly the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) which was committed to what it called "armed struggle as the only way to liberate the homeland". In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Palestinian groups launched a wave of attacks against Israeli targets around the world, including a massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Israel responded with Operation Wrath of God, in which those responsible for the Munich massacre were tracked down and assassinated

On October 6, 1973, Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, the Egyptian and Syrian armies launched a surprise attack against Israel. The war ended on October 26 with Israel successfully repelling Egyptian and Syrian forces but suffering great losses.

So John you think that the Zionists were making up stuff when they talked about running the Palestinians off their land?

That they made this up?

"We walked outside, Ben-Gurion accompanying us. Allon repeated his question, What is to be done with the Palestinian population?' Ben-Gurion waved his hand in a gesture which said 'Drive them out!'" Yitzhak Rabin, leaked censored version of Rabin memoirs, published in the New York Times, 23 October 1979

Nothing in your post shows that the Palestinians did not live there before the Zionist invaded, and took their land.

What part of "the Palestinians were there first" keeps going over your head?

Do you need me to read this onto an MP3 for you and email it?

"the reason why the Palestinians fled? Well, the Arab countries asked them to so that when they invaded, they can kill every man, woman, and child and give them the land the people of Israel had. Basically, the Arabs would bomb the country and level the area."

Are we going to go back to borders from 2000+ years ago? Then technically you are saying the US should not exist, the Romans should control almost the known world too.

Do you need me to read this onto an MP3 for you and email it?

No you need to drop the anti Palestinian agenda and look at the real facts.

The Palestinians were there before the invasion, Zionist stole their land ( and continue to do so). Those are the facts.

Ah, and you need to drop your Terrorist support and look at the facts and read a history book.

The Jews were there way before the Palestinians. The arabs stole there lands (actually the Ottoman Empire) in 1516.

The Jews were there way before the Palestinians. The arabs stole there lands (actually the Ottoman Empire) in 1516

The facts say otherwise:

"No population remains pure over a period of thousands of years. But the chances that the Palestinians are descendants of the ancient Judaic people are much greater than the chances that you or I are its descendents. The first Zionists, up until the Arab Revolt [1936-9], knew that there had been no exiling, and that the Palestinians were descended from the inhabitants of the land. They knew that farmers don't leave until they are expelled. Even Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, the second president of the State of Israel, wrote in 1929 that, 'the vast majority of the peasant farmers do not have their origins in the Arab conquerors, but rather, before then, in the Jewish farmers who were numerous and a majority in the building of the land.'"

The early Zionists were the terrorists:

Lehi (IPA: ['lɛxi], Hebrew acronym for Lohamei Herut Israel, "Fighters for the Freedom of Israel", לח"י - לוחמי חירות ישראל), also known as the Stern Gang, a term coined by the British^[1], was an armed underground Zionist faction in Mandatory Palestine,^[2] whose goal was to forcibly evict the British authorities from Palestine, allowing unrestricted immigration of Jews and the formation of a Jewish state. Initially called the National Military Organization in Israel, the name of the group was later changed to Lehi.^[3]

Lehi was described as a terrorist organization^[4] by the British authorities and United Nations mediator Ralph Bunche.^[5] Lehi carried out the Nov 1944 assassination in Cairo of Lord Moyne along with other attacks on the British authorities and Palestinian Arabs. The newly-formed Israeli government banned the organization under an anti-terrorism law passed three days after the Sept 1948 assassination of the UN mediator Folke Bernadotte.^[6]

i just don't know enough about the dynamics of the conflict,  other that both sides are determined to wipe the other out.  

Actually, Isreal has had the ability to wipe out the Palestinians for quite some time now.They choose not to as they really do want to have peace.The extremist groups simply will not allow it to happen.

Unfortunately there are extremist on both sides of the conflict.
