Scores die in Israeli air strikes

I promised myself that I would not engage in conversation with you again and I'm not, this is strictly a one way communique:

You really are a horrible small minded little man. I thought your post before were pretty astounding but I was wrong ... seriously, how low can one stoop? (I'm sure you can go way lower too). I'm not sure if that is because you are just a product of hatred propaganda which your country must be filled with or if it just comes naturally.

Regardless, its because of people EXACTLY like you that many many people despise Israel. So do congratulate yourself on that great contribution you make to your country. All you do is make me and many others feel even more certain that we are right in our opinions about your people.

I read that you have children. I dread to think how they are being raised. Probably like the Vatican recently said which was as the modern day equivalent of German Nazi's. There is a nice symmetry about that I guess.

You are seriously out of your mind, sammsky.
 
please do not degenerate the Jewish faith system with the actions of this hate mob. As I wrote above, Judaism has been hijacked bu 'Israel'.

And has Islam been hijacked by Hamas or truly represented by them????

Please help me understand which-

Hamas has been looking forward to implement Allah's promise whatever time it might take. The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said:

"The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them; until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!
Cited by Bukhari and Muslim"

from the Hamas charter
 
After the rather odd decision to lock the other thread I'll use this one to get the ball rolling again.

Latest news:

UN chief wants Gaza conflict halt

The UN secretary general has implored Israel and Palestinian militants to halt the fighting in Gaza immediately.

Ahead of a trip to the region to push for a truce, Ban Ki-moon said too many people had died and there had been too much civilian suffering.

His call came as Israeli ground forces and tanks moved deeper into Gaza City, with a BBC producer there saying he could hear shooting from tanks.

Nearly 30 rockets or mortars were fired on Israel from Gaza on Monday.

Early on Tuesday, the 18th day of the conflict, Israeli troops advanced in the southern and eastern suburbs of Gaza City, backed by artillery and helicopters.

The western areas of the city came under shellfire from Israeli gunboats.

The Israeli military has denied a Hamas claim that it had destroyed two Israeli tanks.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Palestinian militants will keep on feeling Israel's "iron fist" as long as Hamas fires rockets at Israel.

But a senior Hamas leader, Ismail Haniya, said the group was "approaching victory".

"After 17 days of this foolish war, Gaza has not been broken and Gaza will not collapse," he said in a televised address from a secret location in Gaza.

Both Hamas and Israel rejected last week's UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Palestinian medical sources say 910 people have been killed in Gaza so far, of whom 292 were children and 75 were women. Israeli officials say 13 Israelis, including three civilians, have been killed.

On Monday, casualty reports from Palestinian medics ranged from nine to 26 dead, while Israel said five of its soldiers had been injured, one of them seriously.

Israel is preventing international journalists from entering Gaza, making it impossible to independently confirm casualty figures.

"My message is simple, direct and to the point: the fighting must stop," Mr Ban told a news conference in New York ahead of his departure on Tuesday for the Middle East.

"In Gaza, the very foundation of society is being destroyed: people's homes, civic infrastructure, public health facilities and schools."

His diplomatic tour will see talks with the leaders of Egypt, Israel and Syria as well as the Palestinian president in Ramallah.

However UN officials say he will not be meeting representatives of Hamas, and it is not clear whether he will go to Gaza itself during his week-long trip.

Meanwhile reports suggest diplomatic efforts between Egypt and Hamas in Cairo are progressing.

After meeting Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Middle East Quartet envoy Tony Blair said the elements were in place for a ceasefire agreement.

"I am hopeful we can put an agreement together but it's going to have to be worked on very hard and it's got to be credible," he told journalists.

On Monday as Israel continued its air and ground offensive, Hamas said it had been involved in fighting with Israeli troops in several districts.

There were reports of fierce fighting around Gaza City ahead of the daily three-hour truce to allow aid deliveries to Gaza.

Some Israeli reservists are in action on the ground, but the army denied escalating the war to a "third phase" - an all-out push on Gaza City and other towns.

Reservists are reported to be securing areas gained in the fighting.

The chief military spokesman, Brig Gen Avi Benayahu, said thousands more - who would comprise a new, expanded phase in the ground operation if it was ordered - were still in training and had not been deployed.

Israel hopes the scale of its operation will greatly reduce the number of missiles fired from Gaza into southern Israel, while eroding support for Hamas.

As the fighting continued, a spokesman for the charity Save the Children said it was impossible for aid workers to do their jobs.

"We need the violence to stop. We need the attacks to stop. It's only when that happens that we will be able to operate," Benedict Dempsey said.

Aid agencies say Gaza's 1.5 million residents are in urgent need of food and medical aid.

After the rather odd decision to lock the other thread I'll use this one to get the ball rolling again.

Our basic rules include (but are not limited too):

* No racism, bigotry or comments suggesting child abuse – We will enforce this strictly, any racism/Bigotry towards fellow board members will result in an immediate banning.

I guess it was easier to close the thread than deal with those who didn't follow the forum's rules. On other occasions similar outbursts resulted in threads deleted altogether. All sorts of supranatuaral shit happens on the CE forum.
 
One admins is a Muslim, and others are indulging in anti -Semitism.

We're all scheming against the poor Israelis'.
 
Seriously though, the deleted thread stopped being constructive, and this has started going the very same way.

Those threads are rarely constructive, but so are the "let's all laugh at..." threads and they are never closed.

One poster ignored the rules, and your request to chill, and was allowed to go on with his hate-filled posts and disgusting personal outbursts. No ban, but thread closed.

Freedom of expression.

It wasn't one particular Muslim poster as you'd like to point out. I can't be bothered going through many more retarded posts. Stop being paranoid. We're not all into hating those we don't agree with.

So, how's the baby killing going? Are you Israel supporters happy with it?

Your country is responsible for more Muslim victims over the last 8 years than Israel is during its 60-year existence.

And you weren't even attacked. Murderers.

Edit: attacked once if you're a Yank.

How are "they" illegal? How are "they" more "murderous" than the UK? Any suggestions as for what should be done with "them"?

There isn't a "we" there, Sultan. I never implied that decisions of moderators were based on "hate". I did point out that your (understandable) bias regarding the ME conflict influences the way you moderate specific threads. I think that, with few exceptions, we managed to exchange points of view despite the disagreement and emotional involvement on both sides. That in itself makes this forum constructive, even though we're unlikely to come up with a magic formula that politicians or peace negotiators haven't already proposed.

Leaving the threads intact though, unlike a previous occasion, allows (the few) interested posters to decide for themselves whether this is about paranoia or not. Thanks.
 
Very well.

I've opened the thread. If you guys think I called wrongly in closing the thread closed carry on with what you call debate.
 
So you're happy with a nuclear Iran?. The same Iran whose supplying Hezbollah and Hamas?

Interesting.
[/quote]For civilian means yes. Iran are not as stupid as people like Bush think. Yes they talk big, brash and with a lot of venomous rhetoric through dumb ass men like Ahmedenejad . But they know darn well the West and most of the world would never tolalerate them having nuclear weapons. Sadaam was a prime example of what happens to those who try.

Most importantly, believe it or not. their leaders know Iran would cease to exist if they ever let Hamas and Hezzbollah hit Israel with even the smallest nuclear device, if it came from them. They are not about to sacrifice their nation for a direct rumble with Israel. That is why even though they've technically been at war with Israel for decades. They will never attack first. Especially in such a manner.

Like it deterred Syria.

I'm sorry but I don't share your confidence.
 
Everybody wants to attack Iran. Nobody (unless Yank) will. .
Only Bush, Bushites and Netanyahu have ever thought it's
a good idea.
He's been predicting for years that concessions to the Palestinians would result in rocket launching on Southern Israel. His political rivals, mainly Labour supporting the Oslo agreements, claimed he was trying to intimidate Israelis for his own political interests. Turns out he was quite right, and Peres the Oslo architect has to justify a war trying to prevent a problem of his own making.
He was never right. When in power he went out of his way to make those Oslo agreements useless by wanting to make no concessions. Which IIRCC lead to the second intifada. Which ultimately sowed the seeds of this conflict. Netanyahu started the sparks that turned into this current fire. He is no prophet of truth but a harbinger of doom. I shudder to think the mayhem he would cause if he got power again and made good on his desire to attack Iran Bush style ("premptive strike before solid evidence").
 

What happens when a fly falls into a coffee cup?


The Italian - throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage.

The German - carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.

The Frenchman - takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.

The Chinese - eats the fly and throws away the coffee.

The Russian - Drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.

The Israeli - sells the coffee to the Frenchman, the fly to the Chinese, drinks tea and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.

The Palestinian - blames the Israeli for the fly falling in his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of tea to the Palestinian.
 
.....Like it deterred Syria.
I dont belive they are any closer to getting Nuclear weapons & Syria are not Iran. Syria is ran by hot headed and naive politicians. Who run on emotion most of the time. That is why at one point they want to negotiate with Israel and at the other they want war. Iran are far more calculating and intellgent advasary

.I'm sorry but I don't share your confidence.
You have nothing to be sorry about. I fully understand your pessimism, for you and country men cant afford to be wrong about Iran.

I'll just say one thing though. When Netanyahu was in power a long while back he swore the Iranians were close to having nuclear weapons and should be stopped dead in their tracks. Cooler heads prevailed then and still even now Iran with they rhetoric and current mad leader haven't got any. Furthermore I believe they are still cowards. Their use of Hezbollah and despicable Hamas to disturb Israel shows they wouldn't dare want a direct rumble with Israel. They prefer indirect war or war by proxy. Which any concrete sign of them having a nuclear weapon would bring to a deadly end. They are basically like a child throwing stones at a dangerous dog from with in the comfort of a gated compound. They wont dare open gate. They aren't willing to pay the price of teeth marks.

Bibi, as we call him, honoured the Oslo agreements and handed Hebron to the Palestinians. The second "intifada" happened during Barak's tenure as PM.

As for Iran, it would be impossible to strike them before soild evidence, because these evidence are already on the table.
 
Wow!!!

I don't recall a thread, ever becoming 'Unlocked'...

Let the games commence!


Oh, and enough of all this pussy-footin' around. This is war God-Damnit!!! ;)

Canada votes alone for Israel

OTTAWA BUREAU

OTTAWA–Canada stood alone before a United Nations human rights council yesterday, the only one among 47 nations to oppose a motion condemning the Israeli military offensive in Gaza.

The vote before the Geneva-based body shows the Stephen Harper government has abandoned a more even-handed approach to the Middle East in favour of unalloyed support of Israel, according to some long-time observers.

Thirty-three countries voted for the strongly worded motion, which called for an investigation into "grave" human rights violations by Israeli forces, while 13 nations, mostly European, abstained.

The United States, regarded as Israel's greatest ally, is not a member of the council....

Does this make Canada evil, well more evil than before?

No, it doesn't make Canada evil, but you might find it more difficult to find Kosher salt on the shelves of the Canadian markets, from here on out.


The two things that it may reflect...

- Canada might not have the Jewish lobby that most countries have.

- Canada is now a country that shows more courage in speaking out about the brutal slaughter of children.

I think he misread the post?

I did misread...

Still waking up here, my bad.


Even still... Canadians aren't evil, they've got the same issue as the United States. They don't have a government that reflects the same concerns as the majority of the people that they represent.


Yesterday, George Bush spent the day joking with the press, with little or no concern about what is going on in Israel.

Plech, you have almost always avoided the chance to engage in conversation with me. I'm sure you'll have a Neo-Connish snipey answer for not discussing this topic, like a man, but that's ok.


I want to offer an open discussion, as many people seem to respect your writing ability. I ask you, are you able to discuss without becoming insulting? I am.
 
:lol:

Yes, because suicide bombers and rocket launchers don't ever kill or maim children.

They most certainly do... and the suicide bombers have delivered nothing less than a hellish existance to their people.


Having dealt with that... what is the part of the Israeli people?


_________________________________________

To show that I hold not favorites in this conflict:

The insane rants of a madman - the head of Hamas speaks out yesterday.

Hamas kept up its defiance in the face of the onslaught, vowing it would emerge victorious, but said it was ready to examine truce initiatives.
In a rare televised address Monday, Hamas leader Ismail Haniya vowed: "We are approaching victory."

"I tell you that after 17 days of this foolish war, Gaza has not been broken and Gaza will not fall," said the head of the Hamas government in Gaza, which the Islamists seized from forces loyal to moderate Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in June 2007.

But Haniya, who isn't considered to wield influence over the group's armed wing, said the Islamists were ready to "examine in a positive manner any initiative which can put an end to this aggression and the blood of our children being shed."

A Hamas delegation has been holding talks in Egypt on a Western-backed proposal by President Hosni Mubarak on how to end the fighting.

Haniya also said the "blood of children" who have been killed in the conflict would serve as a "curse which will come back to haunt" U.S. President George W. Bush.

--------------------------------------


As so many people have stated, there are no winners in this conflict, there are only growing problems.

And the closing comment by Ismail Haniya about Bush...

It's retarded, if anyone knows Bush... he doesn't care, and he's leaving office and will not give this situation a second thought beyone Jan. 20th.
 
They most certainly do... and the suicide bombers have delivered nothing less than a hellish existance to their people.


Having dealt with that... what is the part of the Israeli people?

Can you rephrase the question? I don't quite understand what you are getting at.
 
And let's make no mistake...


Hamas are just as much the baby killers of both Jewish children ... but more so, they have been responsible for allowing their own children to be butchered.


As I've stated in the past... both sides behave like rabbid animals.
 
You lot could teach the northern irish a thing or two. You're making us look like pussies.

I was going to write an essay on the evolving aggressive situation that the Israeli government have stood behind for more than 100 years, but I found this list of quotes that says it all...


Now I ask... the chicken or the egg question. Who denied who's existance first? It is looking as if the Jewish people evicted the Palestinian people, then created a constitutional belief that they never existed.


I offer the wisdom of one of America's most well respected writers on our current state of consciousness and spiritual dysfunction:

Eckheart Tolle - Book Title, A New Earth pages 72 -73

The Ego is Not Personal​

On a collective level, the mind-set "We are right and they are wrong" is particularly deeply entrenched in those parts of the world where conflict between two nations, races, tribes, religions, or ideologies is long-standing, extreme, and endemic. Both sides of the conflict are equally indentified with their own perspective, their own "story," that is to say identified with thought. Both are equally incapable of seeing that another perspective, another story, may exist and also be valid. Israeli writer Y. Halevi speaks of the posibility of "accomodating a competitive narrative," but in many parts of the world, people are not yet able or willing to do that. Both sides regard themselves as the victim and the "other" as evil, and because the have conceptualized and thereby dehumanized the other as the enemy, they can kill and inflict all kinds of violence on the other, even on children, without feeling their humanity and suffering. They become trapped in an insane spiral of perpetration and retribution, action, and reaction.
