Thoughts on the current middle-east situation? It looks like it's already erupted into full-scale war. All that remains to be done is for it to be formalised. It's all very scary and tragic. |

I don't know, but things are going for fuckin shit. If the countrys that are against America declare war, and they have another fucking draft I don't know what I'll do. Plus with the capabilities for nuclear missles now with Iran and N.Korea, we could be in big trouble. Our town is #2 on the list of targets for them in our country. |

Tell me, where do you live? |

Why? Do you have missle silos there or something? I remember that old nuclear drama, The Day After, had the same situation. Some little rural town with Minuteman missles. |

The Isrealis are quite rightfully hitting back at those silly towel heads who seem to think that Isreal invaded Palestine, set up a country and treated Arab's like scum ever since. I know the arabs are engaging in terrorism and the Isrealis are protecting themselves, but they shouldn't be there in the first place. I don't care if it their holy land or not. If I start a religion, claim my holy land is somewhere and kick everyone else out am I right? People generally have little empathy with Isreal now. The only reason it exists is because the world was weary after WWII and the people had found out what a hard time the jews had had. Most people alive now have no concept of that, not properly and just see Isreal for what it is, a bully. The thing is... if someone told me to move, that I had to go somewhere because they were making their own country, I would fight them, so I don't see how I can criticise the arab countries and not be hypocritical. |

Omaha, NE. Lincoln is near, about 30-45 miles. so our member recycle would be in for radiation. It's because our city is home of the Strategic Air/Space Command. It's bout 2 miles from my house and that is a main target of any wars. DC would be first obviously. |

#2 ?? no it isnt, its just another target Who told you it was #2 ? |

In Westren NE, I hear down at the "panhandle" there is one area, that does not show up as anything on an atlas or map, and a teacher told us it was where they had a few underground silos and that you could see the openings from the interstate that passes through by looking out into the fields. |

SAC controls all of our overseas "air" attacks which is our main mode of attack right? It makes sense that it would be up so high, plus in a time of crisis, the President is here, remember 9/11. People say when I moved here that he stayed at a bunker at the SAC. |

yes, there are a lot of underground misseles here in nebr. |

Still a scary though, to know we are a high target. |

I think that Egypt will get involved eventually to attempt to get their land back. Forcing Israil to fight on three fronts. |

I doubt that it is going to escalate into anything full-scale. Israel is going to shoot Hezbollah up until they are all gone, and then there will be years and years of national debate about the whole thing. Just today they have destroyed their headquarters in Beirut. They have a naval blockade.... Tons of innocents are getting killed both in Lebanon and in Israel. If I'm correct, there have been more civillian deaths than militant. That just goes to show you right there that their bureaucracies are not worth shit and the people should be fighting against THEM and the united states. The lebanese people should be very angry with America. Our administration vetoed a resolution urging Israel to stop their attacks in Gaza. It sickens me and makes me ashamed to be American, it's like the coward on the playground who sees a fight and says, "No! Let them kill eachother! I want to see blood." Fuck Bush and this country. |

Well it says you are ashamed of how we are dealing with it at the bottom. As far as I know thats the only way to deal with it that will work right now. Even though it sucks. |

There's a bit of a contradiction in terms there, if you read this the right way: I doubt that it is going to escalate into anything full-scale. Israel is going to shoot Hezbollah up until they are all gone but I do understand that you probably meant a formal, country vs country vs country War when you wrote "full-scale". That near irrelevent comment aside, as a result of the Hezbollah offensive, only A mother and daughter died in an attack on the town of Meron. Two Israelis died in attacks on Thursday. That's it. 4 People. The violent and needless death of one person is tragic enough, don't get me wrong.. But it shrinks in comparison with the number of Palestinians who've been killed since that single israeli soldier was abducted, with the number of Lebanese who've been killed since that offensive began... It's even smaller, and certainly less tragic, than the killing of seven palestinian children on a beach, which one Hamas leader has cited as the origin of this recent flare of violence, as opposed to the abduction of Gilad Shalit. |

i think he means sabotage. replace all the bullets with jellybeans, plant flowers in the mess hall, that sort of thing. |

That wouldn't solve or do anything. Why would someone join the military that they oppose? |

You can't see the prisoner as just a man. The Israelis see his capture as an affront to their authority. It's question of face. I wouldn't worry about a third world war around now. Why would that happen? All the big powers are calling for peace, they have nothing to gain by supporting either side. The US will make some half-hearted diplomatic attempt to get Israel to cease hostilities, of course they couldn't really care less about the Arabs. |

It's a depressing situation. Israel, the wrold's 5th most powerful military, against the Lebanon and the Palestinians caught in the midddle. Who can they look to? The west? The pliant Arab states? |

It will blow over...... Israel will blow somemore shit up, Hezbollah will launch more rockets, then the international community will kick up a fuss, there will be behind the scenes negotiation for the release of prisoners, a cease fire will be announced and everyone will return to the status quo....... we won't be talking about this in a month...... all we'll care about is the new Aphex LP or who's topics really are the worse on XLT.......... |

It's all really shit. There's thousands of years involved in it all, not WWII as dave_g ignorantly supposed. Everyone needs to stop, and think of where we are all heading. I personally sleep soundly imagining a new xltronic where all this racist/religeon shit is well behind us all. Can't we just admire people, not IDM people, just music makers from all over the globe. |

The Israelis are protecting their sovereign country from unprovoked terrorist attacks. They left Gaza 10 months ago and what do the Palestinians do? The use the territory not to better the lives of their people, but to import massive amounts of weapons and launch rockets into Israeli territory. Now Hezbollah, Iran/Syria's proxy army, infiltrates Israeli territory to kill and kidnap soldiers. Israel did not attack first. You do not blackmail a country into releasing all your prisoners by taking hostages and firing missiles. Israel said enough of this bullshit. Now the Palestinians (Hamas/Hezbollah/Al Qaeda/all the same shit) have fucked with the bull. And when you fuck with the bull, you get the horns. Lebanon was supposed to disarm Hezbollah. But of course they cannot since they're really controlled by Syria and they are not willing to start another civil war in their country. So as a result, the Israelis will have to deal with it for them. Take this to mind: If the Arabs layed down their weapons, there'd be no more war. If the Israelis laid down their weapons, there'd be no more Israel. Jews have EVERY right to Israel. It is their ancestral homeland and they've been living there CONTINUOUSLY for over 3,000 years. All they want to do is live in peace and left the fuck alone. It's tragic that innocents on both sides are being killed, but the Palestinians will never learn until they start to value life rather than celebrate death. You can blame their "leadership" who they freely elected for instigating this mess. Once they come to their senses (if that ever happens) and actually want peace more than they want to kill Jews, this never-ending situation will be resolved. Until that happens, Israel has every right to defend its citizens. |

My thoughts on the current situation! I DONT GIVE A FUCK! There is nothing more boring than the Israel Palestine conflict, it's been going on since the 40's. Even Star Wars had only 6 sequels, and that shit was already boring as hell! |

I admire Israelis for how they behave being surrounded by hostile countries. I have never been to the region, but one talk with a Palestinian guy I once knew convinced me that having "I just want the Jews dead" for modus operandi is much more widespread than you'd like to think. |

The Jews have no right to steal land from the Palestinians. The Palestinians have every right to fight an occupying power however. Israel is the aggressor and has been since its formation. |

"Jews have EVERY right to Israel. It is their ancestral homeland and they've been living there CONTINUOUSLY for over 3,000 years. " isn't it enough being pious? do you need a separate country for your "people?" And once they have this "country," why is it so hard to share it with others? Is there some passage that explicitly says that the holy land is reserved for jews, or has it all be drawn out until today from some ancient command from god that could just as easily have been interpreted as meaning only then or until some sort of crisis was resolved? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is judaism really like, btw? is it enough to be pious, or do you need to attend ceremonies? I know that in protestantis it is possible to go your whole life as a pious christian and never go to church once and still be saved, but I think that's harder in the orthodox church, and I don't know what the jewish traditions say.. maybe that even varies with the type of jew you are; orthodox or not? |

Yeah the Israelis are just saints too. They haven't committed war crimes, organised massacres or EVER faught the palestinians unprovoked! Yeah, the whole 6-day-war, ahh, forget about that!! yeah let's not even think about that, cause the israelis' hands are clean! Oh, and this recent violence, nothing to do with a couple of shells being fired at children on a palestinian beach! nothing at all! get your fucking facts straight. I'm not saying the Jews don't have a right to their own land; given the circumstances now, there *must* be a two-state strategy.. But christ, please read up on your history. Study what the palestinians have actually been offered over the years. Awaken yourself to the aggression (not just simple defence against those dirty towel-heads) that's been perpetrated by the israelis over the years. |
