Israel set to build new settlements.

@themajormayor:

1) UN reports from their investigators.

2) The ship was searched and it only had medical supplies and food. It was in international waters, a country can't preemptively attack someone when it isn't at war with them and it isn't in their territory illegally.

3) Ok.

4) Ok, wasn't a major point in my argument.

5) There aren't that many countries committing known crimes against another country. Internal issues are another thing. UN's priority is not to resolve internal issues, but international disputes.

6) Say what? I'm just saying the retaliation for the missile attacks inbound from the Gaza Strip is not fair to the Palestinians who have nothing to do with the Gaza Palestinian government.

7) It's how you write it. I thought it was 'Genebra', as that is how it's pronounced, but it's apparently 'Geneva'. And no, that's not the reason - the reason is that you have a member of the Security Council that will always speak in your favor.

8) It can mean that, by definition. It's been argued before and established that Anti-Zionism can be any form of opposition to the state of Israel, not necessarily escalating to an opposition of its existence. I don't know what meaning you give to the term, but I've seen it used the same way I do multiple times before.

That's funny, considering that even though the conflict is still very intense and nothing has been resolved, many Palestinians in the West Bank go to work in Israel and have somehow intimate relations with their employers and clients there. They also go visit Israel when the Israeli government grants them the permits needed to do so. On the Israeli side, granted Israeli citizens can't just go visit Ramallah, in the same manner that a Palestinian can't just go visit Tel Aviv, but they still have strong economic activities with Palestinians in the West Bank and relations of various extents of intimacy and social nature with some Palestinians there. The vast majority of us Palestinians are quite harmless and hospitable when left unharmed. But we're also ignorant and don't know what's best for us when pushed to the edge.

Regardless, I don't see how it is any of your concern whether we will be a democracy or like Saudi Arabia. No one is telling you how to run your state. Before you bring the security argument, the IDF has already proved on numerous occasions that its more than willing to kill hundreds for a few joke rockets that almost never hit any targets or result in any casualties so you already proved your point.

loool I don't know, it could be anyone. Could be some kraychik mark. Could be some right-winger who just happen to stumble upon this topic.

They work illegally (SHABAH). Just few of the palestinians have license to stay and work here. And last time i checked, one palestinian, who worked in Israel, lured a soldier that worked together with him and murdered him (2 months ago). According to the palestinan, he asked the soldier to help him with some major drug deal and the latter accepted. If so, i must say i don't feel bad for the soldier because he was probably a crooked a55hole.

Funny thing is that there are 30,000 palstinians crossing the fence into Israel (SHABAH) a year. Stupid IDF don't even try to deal with this problem. If we see SHABAH we just asking what's his ID and release him. I was once puted to guard the fence and 200 meters from me tens of SHABAH crossed the border and i couldn't do anything. IDF should prevent at all cost the SHABAH from entering soldiers and in exchange retrieve forces from the major cities.

Who's Kraychik?

Man... This topic is STILL going...

lol Let's face it: This topic may get closed and sooner or later a new one will be created. It's like we need to sticky it :P
