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?

What will the price of oil be in 4 weeks time?

Look at my post 5880. Several prominent Israels have also said that if they were Palestinians then they would be firing rockets as well.

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.

sorry, but who cares what you cut and paste .... you could find far as many nutters who would say that given half a chance they'ld drop a few bombs with anthrax spores on the palestinians

TANKS - try to differentiate between what i write quite seriously and what i write in jest ..... also, perhaps read the whole of the post :-) .... btw, i assume your nags are still running

Cynic,

Sometimes, I find it difficult to differentiate between you being serious and jesting.

Mind I find it difficult to take you too seriously.

What I am struggling with, is that "international law" allowed the change of ownership of land to those of Jewish beliefs, without consent of the landowners of the period, but will not accept that those bequests are not written in stone, and if “international law” deems land belongs to a previous owner, it is not returned.

But, perhaps I am a little suspicious of the reasons for the bequests in the first place.

A pity Balfour didn’t have the gift of foresight.

is pakistan a legit country?
how about mongolia or tibet?
closer to your favourite area - how about iraq?
or at home - wales? scotland? should ireland be a single entity?

Was Palestine a legit country ?

i intentionally avoided that question as it just panders to certain loonies on this thread - not necessarily including fred!

Was Palestine a legit country ?

Finders keepers ?

see above .... and no

perhaps ask yourself (and others) what criteria do you use to determine whether or not a country is "legit"?

One or more legs.

cynic yes still on the track . but a nice day .

Jerusalem Post today

The UK would not support an Israeli strike on Iran, British Prime Minister David Cameron said in an interview with NBC published Thursday

"I don't think as we stand today that military action by Israel would be justified." Cameron said. "I don't think the Israelis should take that action now, we've told them they shouldn't, and we've said that we wouldn't support it if they did."

Davey wouldn't approve? That's bound to stop em .......

Only three countries in the world have refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. They are India, Israel, and Pakistan.

There was deal 1969 between President Nixon and Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir. The United States would not pressure Israel to join the treaty, which would require Israel to give up its nuclear weapons. Israel, in turn, does not admit it has the weapons.

Maybe Israel should offer to give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for Iran not building any. There could be monitoring to make sure neither country develops more weapons.

There is no reason for Iran not to have nuclear weapons while Israel does.

And a non-nuclear Iran would feel threatened by Israel? Why's that then?

Is feeling threatened by another country an excuse for having nuclear weapons? What is Israel's excuse. Plenty of countries feel threatened and don't have them. At what point would Israel use theirs.

Probably as soon as they get a decent fix on your address, mate. :-)

Israel must have some situation in mind where they would use nuclear weapons. Iran having their own weapons nullifies that situation as there would be nuclear retaliation. From that point of view Iran would want rheir own weapons. If both side have them then there is less chance of either side using them. It is the principal that governed the cold war betwee Russia and the US.
