Will this increase or decrease the likelihood of terrorist actions in America, Europe and the rest of the world?

If you were a member of a family murdered in this conflict, would you be seeking revenge?

Should Tzipi Livni and Ehud Olmert, be tried for war crimes if or when this conflict comes to an end?

Jerusalem Post today

Former kidnapped soldier Gilad Schalit's father Noam said Wednesday that if he was Palestinian he would try to kidnap IDF soldiers.

Schalit, who is running for a Knesset seat with the Labor Party, paraphrased former Labor leader Ehud Barak, who shocked many people when he told anti-Israel activist Gideon Levy in a 1998 interview that if he were Palestinian, he would have joined a terrorist organization.

“We also kidnapped British soldiers when we were fighting for our freedom,” Schalit said in an interview with Channel 10, referring to pre-state Zionist paramilitary organizations during the British mandate.

Asked if he would be in favor of negotiating with Hamas, he said “I am in favor of speaking to anyone who wants to talk to us."

now tell us how much you subsidise the bookies over the course of a year :-)
confess that though i used to ride - loved x-country - horse racing has nevr had much appeal apart from the fashion spectacle and pretty fillies at top meetings

i lose a lot but enjoy the days

if oscar whisky and our father win today i would win over 23k if there are placed 430 pounds

that's the important bit! .... rather like being in a casino; you know you'll lose in the long run, but provided it's just fun money it is of no importance

Go and invest in Israel and Gaza. They will compromise within a year.
You heard it from me first. I dreamed it last night!

i'm working on a JV with Hamas for a phosgene plant near Ramallah ..... Hamas reckons the price needs to be dead cheap, but of course that may be a plant by Mossad to ensure that corners are cut, with an obvious impact on safety

How much Chemical war fare agents does Israel have in stock?

How effective is Iran Russian defence system?

Other than the Jewish lobby in USA does the population have any stomach for a full blown M.E. war?

I doubt it.

Obamma, is placating the Jewish lobby until after the election and Israel is trying to get its boot in during the lead up to it.

Also, the administration us attempting to distract attention from its continued land grabbing and human abuses.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, neither Iranians nor Russians support their governments if they enter or dragged into any war.

People are now more friendlier than ever before. No talk of war by west as they are tried of war. So peace is coming much sooner than expected, so my post 5886.

ahoj there will always be wars it suits the rich that is why they are rich and
keeps the population down or did

Not anymore, just talk of war in the future. No action. IMO

ahoj going to the beach for a walk it is these dogs they never have them on a leash
i will have a word with the council

Ahoj

Disagree. I think it's escalating towards another military intervention.

There were over 200 rockets and mortars fired into Israel last night alone - roughly a million people had to spend the night in air raid shelters. You'd have to be daft not to expect a response soon.

The problem for Gaza is that Hamas doesn't want the rocket firing, but Islamic Jihad in Gaza wants to destabilize Hamas by causing trouble. Hamas has been trying to move towards a more political stance because of their long term ambitions in the West Bank.

Apart from that I have no sympathy for those in Israel under bombardment. They have to remember that they are occupying someone else's country. This is just a response to Israel's actions against the Palestinians and Israel's constant land grabbing in the region.

It might come to a military intervention, but there will be a lot of pressure on Israel from the US not to go down that route. One advantage of a military option is that it will isolate Israel even further.

The numbers are escalating. At least one rocket every day in the last 10 days of February, then 304 rockets and mortars in the first two weeks of March, and 200 last night.

Schools and universities in the region are currently closed, and the Israeli Home Front Command has barred all mass gatherings in southern Israeli communities.

I guess the only thing preventing a large scale counter attack is Haystack's words above. He's very influential, don't you know?

Compared to what is happening in syria, a few people spending the night in a shelter as a response to their government's apartheid policies is a small affair. If they don't like it then pressure their government to stop their behaviour.

They have to remember that they are occupying someone else's country .... if you had omitted your standard rant of questionable validity, your comment would have carried more value - but you cocked it up yet again
