Ah, your lack of understanding of the topic is jarring. Israel is not looking to attack the reactors, but the centrifuges, even if they would not have been deep inside the mountains the radiation spread would have been minimal. There are no known nuclear facilities in proximity to Pakistani...

Not really, Israel would have preferred USA to attack Iran. Iraq post gulf war was no longer a threat to Israel. Israel already dismantled the command that was supposed to defend the eastern border at the time. Shiits in Lebanon were also allies to Israel at one time. With the mess Lebanon is...

The posts are long and I couldn't find the time to read every word. but here are a few comments. off topic: * I am not sure, desert fox, that you understand what Zionism means. It is the belief that Jews are entitled to return to Israel and build their land there (Zion=Jerusalem). Not every Jew...

I admit I lack knowledge on the subject so a few questions arise. Considering even the chinese on this forum agree that it's Indian land, why did China advance there? What has China to gain from this? are there any natural resources there? how remote it the area? I've seen someone claim...

Officially speaking Israel and Syria are still at war, claiming that an air strike during wartime is illegal is absurd.

Truth be told both the original article and the discussion of the origin of Ashkenazim Jews is full of wrong "facts". Ashkenazim might have some minor Khazar contribution, but it is obvious they are mostly originated from the ME, this is shown time and again by every single study. and I...

Yzd Khalifa nope, was just pointing out they have at least that one decent system. As for the Shia and Suni working together well I see your point. I can imagine both of those factions working together in a similar way to Hamas and the Islamic Jihad groups in Gaza. I am not sure if there...

Syria has S-300 systems as well. They were successful enough to shoot down Turkish plains iirc.

The civil was in Libya is not so far in the past that it is acceptable to forget it. The rebels were asking time and again for the west to interfere, and do so still. With good reason, it could be over quickly should the west (or even say SA) choose to interfere. How to urge that you ask? well...

I am sorry, but what you're saying makes no sense at all. 1. interests: Israel has no interest starting a war while Asad and FSA are fighting each other. Syria is becoming weaker everyday, why intervene? 2. However Israel clearly has interest in preventing advanced arms shipment to...

How about the Farsi involvement in Iraq? to my understanding Iran was supporting by arms and training the Shiites in Iraq in the semi civil war. As far as I know there were no direct consequences from the Suni-Arabs. I can extrapolate from that how it led to the Iranians over extending...

Yeah, I did phrase it wrong I guess, what you write is true. What I meant is that up till recent years it was Syria who as providing the bulk of the weapons training and support, this has been shifting slowly to more direct Iranian support since the 2006 war.

Funny you should say that, since Israel prefers the safety of Asads regime over some of the factions that fight against him. Indeed for the last 30+ years the Golan was the Israeli border that has seen less action than any other. Sure, Asad is no friend to Israel, he did arm and support...

hmmm, can you provide a source that the U.N held observations over the elections? because that's a lie. farther more Syrian law dictates that the president must come from the Ba'at party, effectively Asad was running against no competition. The last point is that he got over 97%. humans are...
