Nothing? Take active steps to take Gadaffi down? Such as? Who should do it? If you think nobody should interfere, is there a situation where your opinion might change?
why he is a troll? or we should ban everyone who dont agree with u?ban this troll
Nope, the arabs still haven't directed their anger at the right target. The right target would be their religion.hah yeah the whole israel vs arabs thing is so overblown compared to the crap they do to themselves. Many regimes probably never would've lasted without the clever strategy of brainwashing their own people with an "outside enemy". It's a clever strategy used since the dawn of man. You unite your own people against an outside enemy to make them forget bad living conditions, lack of freedom or whatever else that would cause civil unrest otherwise.
Now it's been going on so long that some israel vs palestine action somehow gets more attention than centuries of mismanagement. The arab countries could have been blossoming. They could have had it all and now when they stand there as losers. It's not strange that the new generations are angry. Every arab should be angry. It's just odd that it took so long to direct anger vs the right target
I'm not sure what you're saying here, but, the "arab spring" was not a revolution for the better. A despotic dictatorship is bad. A despotic, religious dictatorship is worse.Been so many revolutions and toppling of bad regimes the past 100 years all over the world. Somehow many extremly bad arab regimes survived decades longer than they should because they managed to brainwash the population. It's impressive in some ways, as a study of power mostly through fear and religion but also a very sad study thinking in terms of "what could have been".
If aliens watched earth from space through centuries they would have a good laugh of how some of the middle ages most scientifically advanced societies, especially in areas like mathematics and medicine, ended up becoming the laughing stock of the modern world.
No-one could have guessed.
I don't think you understand who the conflict is between. It's not between Israel and the palestinians. It's between the 5 million jews living in Israel and the 400 million arabs surrounding them, including the 1.4 million arab Israel citizens living with them.If this sounds cruel, then I apologize, but I wish this war was brought to a conclusion - ie one side completely annihilates another. I have been reading about Palestine/Israel conflict for as long as I can remember, even when I was a kid, and it seems to me that there is no end in sight. The conflict could continue for another 100 years. Would it not be sensible for a stronger side to completely obliterate the weaker, thus ending the conflict? The initial massive loss of life would seem miniscule compared to what decades of guerilla warfare that is currently happening and will continue to happen long after our generation is gone will have.
From a pragmatic point of view Israel, with their more advanced and organized military and stronger allies could potentially extinguish the conflict within weeks, if the open war was declared. Realistically, it's not feasible, however, as the international community of hypocrites would react violently to any sudden, violent conflict. They'd rather sit there as dozens of people die every day in a conflict with no end in sight.
Iran has nuclear weapons, but their delivery systems are really primitive. I doubt they have long distance nukes, if they have any weapons grade nukes at all.Israel couldn't just obliterate the Palestinians cause they're too close to Iran (which probably has a nuclear programme) plus the rest of the Arab neighbours would be quick to fight back.
Logic and religious zealotry are mutually exclusive. This is what I wrote in post #15:I don't understand the logic of the Hamas rocket attacks on Israel:
1) They don't really hurt Israel - someone once told me more israelis die in car accidents than from Hamas rockets - and;
2) The retaliation from Israel is always far stronger, and results in more damage than the attacks are worth.
So, if the two points above are correct, Hamas and palestine will always be in a better position by NOT firing rockets at Israel.
So what am I missing here? Why do they do it?
Pat Condell has his own more animated explanation that may shed some light on the issue for you:I don't agree. I've been reading about palestinian terrorists firing rockets into populated civilian neighborhoods in Israel for years and years, for the purpose of murdering innocent Israeli citizens and provoking retaliation in order to exploit the sympathy and support of soft hearted and soft headed liberals who stupidly and erroneously see them as pursecuted underdogs. Given the scope of these ongoing palestinian arab terrorist attacks, I think it deserves its own thread, rather than to be burried in an unlrelated thread about an iranian nuclear threat or some such topic.
I assumed an honourable person would delete from his post what turned out to be a lie. But the lie is still there, long after you know it to be so. So I guess you are OK with that.Surely no more insulting than you accusing me of altering a headline to suit my own agenda in the other thread.
Based on that I'd assumed I'd already been lumped in with the rest of the eejits so you have no business coming on all sensitive now.
And, don't let the door hitcha where evolution splitcha!you know my real name (about as Irish as it gets) which means you've seen my picture and you think I'm an Arab? I had a pretty good tan at the time but that's a bit of a stretch.
my annual venture into the nuthouse that is non-Tennis is coming to an end.
It was amusing for a while but I'm bored now (and I have to get to work with this fertliser anyway).
Good that this clown is banned.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/apr/29/commentIn our struggle against apartheid, the great supporters were Jewish people. They almost instinctively had to be on the side of the disenfranchised, of the voiceless ones, fighting injustice, oppression and evil. I have continued to feel strongly with the Jews. I am patron of a Holocaust centre in South Africa. I believe Israel has a right to secure borders.
What is not so understandable, not justified, is what it did to another people to guarantee its existence. I've been very deeply distressed in my visit to the Holy Land; it reminded me so much of what happened to us black people in South Africa.
and then you wonder why the gaza people dislike israel so much. israel is the main culprit for the terrorism it receives."He left life so early": Gaza family devastated by Israel’s killing of baby Omar Masharawi

An Israeli missile strike on Gaza on Wednesday left an aching hole in the home and hearts of the family of 11-month-old Omar Masharawi, who was fatally burned all over his little body.
“My children are not terrorists. They are not devils. They are good people,” said Ali Masharawi, 55, the grandfather of baby Omar, who was killed along with Ali Masharawi’s 20-year-old daughter-in-law, Hiba al-Turk. Ahmad, one of Ali’s sons, was also seriously injured.
Baby Omar, the son of Jihad Masharawi, a BBC staffer in Gaza, is one of several children killed since intensive Israeli bombardment began on Wednesday, including Hanin Tafish, a 10-month-old girl.
The missile hit the Masharawi family home in southern Gaza City shortly after Israel shattered a tenuous ceasefire on Wednesday by carrying out the extrajudicial execution of Hamas military commander Ahmad al-Jabari. The killing of al-Jabari and his bodyguard sparked the current spate of retaliatory rocket fire by Palestinian factions amid round-the-clock Israeli airstrikes.
“I have always been peaceful and I even worked in Israel during my youth, but now I feel I want to explode,” Masharawi said at a condolence reception in Gaza City.

Many may imagine that the deaths of almost 300 children during the latest Gaza offensive, and the photographs the world has seen of Palestinian children maimed or killed, will give even the most right-wing of Israelis pause for thought. Unfortunately, as far as the hardliners are concerned, the opposite is the case.
like firing missiles and white phosphorus at Palestinian civilians and then blaming them for itwe keep on doing what we love to do
Then I'm gonna explain that to you, idiot.I'm surprised they don't merge with Russia Today.
and where are your words of condemnation for the much heavier and stronger zionist terrorism? where is your condemnation for the illegal settlements in the west bank and east jerusalem? where is your condemnation for the thousands of palestinian children killed by Israeli soldiers? Where is your condemnation for the Palestinians hurt by the thousands of fundamentalist Jewish settlers in Palestinian territories? Where is your condemnation for the displacment of millions of palestinians during nakba?Terrorism is terrorism no matter who's doing it.
