Israel ready to launch a military offensive against Iran

[roadrunner]

Another point. Hamas has already accepted Israel's right to exist.

There really isn't much more it can do except give all the Gaza Strip and West Bank to Israel.

The rocket strikes I haven't been following, but there is a lot of nonsense reports on them. The news media tried the angle that Hamas started the last conflict by firing rockets into Israel. Even Obama justified it like this. The reality, which was acknowledged by the IDF in an interview was that Hamas had not launched a single rocket into Israel during the ceasefire. It was the Israelis that broke the ceasefire, then massacered a thousand Palestinians, all for no reason.

There's no justification for that and most of the world sees it like that.

Dear Palestine, I am sorry I am jaded. Blame it on Nasser, yes the dead one. You really shouldn’t have banked on him and his revolutionary army, who never had a plan.

Blame it also on the division among your children, their factions and their ever-so varying flag colours. Blame it on Yasser Arafat’s disorienting legacy, and Mahmoud Abbas’s newfound bureaucratic vanity. And you can also blame it on Ahmed Yassin’s resistance fantasy and Khaled Meshaal’s lies and lack of strategy. The Hamas leader, in fact, often reminds me of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, Iraq’s always gung-ho information minister before the invasion in 2003.

Blame it also on the lack of a unified Arab identity, let alone a credible and effective lobby. We all should have done more; we all could have done more. Blame it on the weakness of the Arab states, their tribal mistrust, their pettiness, and their lack of vision. Blame it, too, on their lack of shame and honour.

Blame it on the offices of the Israeli representatives; on the foolish Arab agents of peace and pragmatism who offered all before receiving any indication of what they could hope to achieve in return.

Dear Palestine, you can also blame it on 9/11 and Osama bin Laden. You can blame it on George W Bush, and soon you will be able to blame it on Barack Obama. You can blame it on both, Tony Blair the protestant British Prime Minister and Tony Blair the Catholic official Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East. You can blame it on Gordon Brown’s lack of interest in you. You can blame it on the European Union, on Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel; you can even blame it on the Czechs, who have just taken over the presidency of the EU.

You can blame it on the Jewish settlers, on Ariel Sharon’s unilateral disengagement plan, on Ehud Olmert’s last action as Israel’s prime minister, on Ehud Barak’s comeback and Tzipi Livni’s Clinton-esqe ambitions. Blame it on the looming Israeli election.

Dear Palestine, blame it on Iran, which claims it is your ally but really supports you in the same way that the Soviet Union once supported the Egyptians and Iraqis. And don’t forget to blame it on the United Nations, which can’t even agree on a ceasefire resolution.

Dear Palestine, blame the lack of Chinese support on yourself; you do not have the gold, nickel, copper, tin or iron ore of Zimbabwe, nor do you have the forests of Cameroon. And, don’t blame the lack of Russian support on Vladimir Putin alone, because I know the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev doesn’t want to help either – not because either wishes you harm, but they are just too busy squabbling over Central Asia with China and Eastern Europe with Nato and the EU.

Dear Palestine, blame it on the coincidental conjunction of Hanukkah, Christmas and the Islamic New Year. It must have been most annoying for the Israeli Defence Force to see Santa’s sleigh pulling up in Gaza and people welcoming him at a mosque; such harmony should not be permitted.

Dear Palestine, blame it on all who watch you bleed, from your sons to your enemies and everyone in between. You are like Lebanon, another Arab state that has enemies within its borders and beyond them who will not permit her to exist as a nation in peace and prosperity. Your only hope may be celestial; angelic saviours yet to reveal themselves.

Dear Palestine, weep not for those whose blood has irrigated your farmlands, but for the emptiness, futility and lack of hope that the offspring of the fallen of your raped lands must feel.

Dear Palestine, forgive us not – for we don’t care.

Yours, shamelessly
The World

Zionist entity's last 60 year aggression regard shows that they are only good for attacking the stone-throwers or civilians. But when it comes to regular armies of its enemies - it always beg American assistance.

After being humiliated by Hizb'Allah in 2006 - Zionists would be committing suicide to attack the more powerful Hizb'Allah - Islamic Iran.

Every time I see a comment like the above I think of this cartoon.

Another brilliant think-tankism by roadrunner.

You freely admit that you haven't followed these events-thus unqualified to comment, but simply can't restrain yourself from observations of "nonsense reports".

How do you manage to cross traffic without being hit?

Hi,

Most people don't understand that the only way to neutralize israel is to make peace with it. Peace will finish israel. It is just the threat of war and destruction that is keeping israel together---and now the right wing born again christians have joined the crusade on behalf of the jews---the born again christians have taken it upon themselves to find ways to create a massive large scale war amongst the mid eastern nation at any and all cost---because according to them the messiah would arise out of the middle east---also there is is this funny thing of some RED FACED COW being born in israel that is the sign of the coming of christ---gentlemen---pakistanis have to do some more research about the born against christians and evangalical church's involvement with jewish israel. It is a recipe for disaster.

oh grow up.

When someone asks you "can you tell me the way to x", i bet your respond with "yes", then walk off. Upon further quzzing, you say "but you never asked me for directions, you asked me whether I could explain them you".

Similarly, if you used the gray stuff in your head, you'd not literally translate what I wrote word for word, but take away the message being conveyed.

That message I shall now spell out for you. I have not been following the rocket strikes, who started what, but the ones that I have followed (which hasn't been many), have appeared to have a lot of bias in them. One example being the claims of rocket strikes that broke the November last ceasefire.

I hope that last paragraph clears it up.

A big duhhhh for you

"The rocket strikes I haven't been following, but there is a lot of nonsense reports on them."

Those are your words? Clear enough to me that you freely admit knowing nothing of the matter and yet can construe "nonsense". What perceptiveness!

"...you'd not literally translate what I wrote word for word, but take away the message being conveyed."

There's no interpretive skills needed here. Your comment was clear and straightforward-you know nothing as you've not followed the rocket strikes. Crystalline.

Good. Refrain from offering your unsolicited and uninformed perspectives. It'll help preserve what residual credibility you still possess.

Nice essay from the world. If written by you, congratulations. If not, though, you need to attribute the author.

Is this essay yours or somebody else?

 

[Destructlord]

When has it been tested? Let alone on the scale that you suggest.

It's classified! Everything in it's time my friend! But since your curios, On December 26, an earthquake measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale hit the city of Bam. The city was historical (Around 500 BC). and the buildings were old guess what happend?!

Hamas has never accepted the right of Isreal to exist, its part of their charter.....and No most of the world dont see it like that,,
most of the world is just tired of the entire mess......and most people figure if you shoot at me and my family we are gonig to shoot back till the shooting stops....and there was no massacre of thousands of Palestinians,,,about 1300 people totally died......

and the main reason is because of the leader of Hammus and here is his direct quote.

Fathi Hammad: "[The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its [methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children. This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: "We desire death like you desire life."

A test that involved firing hundreds of missiles capable of reaching Israel at once was kept hidden was it? How did they manage that?

Oh really? Then how do you explain this?

It's not rocket science to change a charter, you know. Constitutions all over the world change at the drop of a hat.

most of the world is just tired of the entire mess......and most people figure if you shoot at me and my family we are gonig to shoot back till the shooting stops....and there was no massacre of thousands of Palestinians,,,about 1300 people totally died......

You need to calm down kiddo. Or get some new specs. I didn't say thousands had been killed (though it wouldnt be incorrect). This is what I said

"It was the Israelis that broke the ceasefire, then massacered a thousand Palestinians, all for no reason."

If someone breaks into your house, then starts squatting in it and claiming your land, then as your relatives try to evict them using force, they don't budge, finally you shoot at them to evict them, you are going to have some justification for doing so. Don't you think. Explain to me how my example is wrong would you, so I can help understand your side, and I will hop over to the Israeli side with you, if you can convince me.

and the main reason is because of the leader of Hammus and here is his direct quote.

Fathi Hammad: "[The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its [methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children.

Could you give me a mainstream reference to this quote? Nothing like www.fullofbullshytquotes.com, or the other sites you're visiting please. Some respected publication.

I got it in an E Mail,, no idea whos it might be,, lot of time you can take a sentence and put it in search and it will show up,,,,but it has been widely circulated in the internet...
here is one source Dear Palestine: Damn us as we have damned you
Mishaal al Gergawi

Dear Palestine: Damn us as we have damned you - The National Newspaper

Thanks. I'll set aside my pedanticism and roll with it.

It's well-written. EDIT: Actually, yes, I see his name now. Mr. Gergawi has a poisonous wit and he uses it to good effect as well as leaving no stone unturned in balancing the blame.

Fair enough and sharply said.
