Why does this entire forum seem dedicated to bashing Israel?

[pbcenturion]

I dont understand why the entire political mud-pit seems obsessed with nit picking at the israeli state. sure israel has its problems, but overal it is a vibrant economic and cultural nation which is vital to both america and europe for anti-terrorism purposes. Does this have something to do with ant-semitism? As an episcopalian american, i have really never seen anything quite so... scary. Perhaps some explanation will make me more comfortable.

PS dont barrage this thread with "israeli soldier kills 10,000 palestinians" bs, try to keep it more philosophical.

because israel is a national security threat.

People like to bash three states predominantly

USA
Russia
Israel.

As I've said before, four people seem to be blamed for everything: Americans, Russians, Jews, and Muslims

The USA is not three states

You realize "states" is used as a synonym of "countries", right?

If you would like, I could change it to "countries".

Q: Why does this entire forum seem dedicated to bashing Israel?

A: Because we're all anti-jewish/nazi's/whatever, obviously .

No one gets my jokes.. *sniff*

[Lawrence of Arabia]

My mistake, I wasn't aware you were joking. Never know these days, some people would seriously say what you said.

[danzig]

It isnt there are just a handful of them but they do their "job" with vigor, there are of course a good number of Israeli defenders as well but *most* people are pretty neutral and objective (as much as possible).

[Gelgoog]

its the In thing todo these days.

[Axeman]

Yeah, just like how its fun to bash the french.

[Mansa musa]

there doesn't seem to be enough bashing of the english.

why is that?

[Sidmen]

Cuz the English still rule the world... Heck, they managed to force the most powerful nation on earth to speak English..

But yeah, all evil in the world is the result of France and Russia.

Look Israel is an easy target. That's a given. The upstarts that forged a Nation at the expense of the Lebs and sundry. I do however feel the Israelis need to curb their political (air strike) agenda against anybody they take a disliking to on any given day. I mean their foreign policy amounts to what exactly?
The U.S may have become the Jewnited States in the last several decades (and I mean that in the political sense , not necessarily socio-cultural) but we aren't backing Israelis if they butt heads with a reinvigorated Iran (read Russian backed).

Israel has to stand on it's own 14 million feet (get it?).

So in 1981, blowing up Saddam's nuclear reactor at Osirak without international support, mistake?

How would the Gulf War have played out if Saddam had nuclear weapons?

How would the War on Terror have played out if Saddam had nuclear weapons?

How many terrorist/militant groups (currently using weapons from Saddam's regime, in Iraq) would have nuclear weapons (non-government entities with nukes is about the biggest threat to western civilization)?

Personally, I'm against all madmen and terrorists having nuclear weapons.

Bud, can I interest you in a Hebrew National hot dog? In fairness they are really, really good dogs. But that ain't the point now, huh.

It's time for Israel to stand on it's own two feet.

Fight the God damned fight or cower like whelps already. You had your asses handed to you by the effing Hezbollah , the first time in "memory" if I recall reports correctly, of Israelis retreating. This is NOT personal, I don't know you from a bar of soap. If you want the world stage man up and FIGHT the good fight for love of your God.

I will watch with interest......

BTW just watch that Gettysburg bit in your sig - single most boring movie outtake evah... 7:22 of guys marching through a field.

I can imagine you'd want more action.
