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?

silly q no doubt, but has iaea ever asked let alone demanded to inspect israel's nuclear instalations?

Dil,

My previous response would suggest I would prefer Non-proliferation of Nuclear Armaments and would not therefore propose sales to any bidders.

But the hope is an irrelevance in the present international world.


I would not sell "drugs" to "kids" either.

"Personally I believe that Iran's nuke capability is non exisistent and if they ever get anywhere near being a threat Israel will sort it (on behalf of the rest of the world but without their official backing)."


Sheer madness. Impractical. They would be signing their own death sentence.

Even if they Israel has the capability, the ME would go up like a tinder box and the furnace would destroy Israel as a realistic entity.

Consider the response sooner, or later, of countries surrounding Iran of Nuclear fallout and then the response of the World to the very existence of Israel.

Unless, the Israeli administration comes to its senses over negotiations rather than being immature bully boys then they will remain political pariahs.

That doe not mean that other countries and groups in the ME do not have to reform, or "grow up", and negotiate sensibly, with all parties holding to agreements when signed.

Happy birthday to you know who - you grumpy old sod!

;-)

The town of Bethlehem in Roman times was in an area called Palestine(Palestina in Latin). Palestine was the name for a large area including Judea. The people of that area were referred to as Palestinians irrespective of their religion or ethnicity. There were Jews, Muslims etc.

This means that when Jesus was born, he was a Palestinian. Recently Fatah said that Yasser Arafat was the second greatest Palestinian after Jesus.

that's funny .... hamas history is different from others ..... Bethlehem at the time was an Israelite city in Judaea ..... just shows how confusing facts are

And Judea was in Palestine.

i think you are wrong, though the regions may have been known as Judaea-Palaestina or Judaea and Syria Palaestina ..... anyway, it is indisputable that it was (they were) an eastern province of the Roman Empire, so what twitty point are you trying to make? ..... do we get 3 guesses? ..... Perhaps it should be handed back to the Italians as successors to the Roman Empire?

Library of Congress

Judea is the southern region of ancient Palestine; the Qumran region was a barren area within the Judean desert which yielded the Dead Sea scrolls treasure.

and in what era are you choosing your facts and the point you are trying to make?

=============

and it's a funny old life, but suggest you go to salaam.co.uk and read and also look at your geography on their kindly-provided map of the region ...... i wouldn't DREAM of saying you were talking bollocks, but others might!

I am not making any particular point.

unusual for you and therefore your post was pretty pointless was it not? ..... anyway, the site i suggested is very interesting for all that

Cynic, this may strike chord with you.

An interesting article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz

http://www.haaretz.com/blogs/a-special-place-in-hell/will-2013-be-the-year-american-jews-secede-from-israel-1.491286

Will 2013 be the year American Jews secede from Israel?

If American Jews think that what is being done in their name is self-destructive, oppressive, blockheaded and wrong, it stands to reason they would want it to stop

.......But many American Jews are already distancing themselves in word and deed from a government it sees as arrogant and short-sighted, enslaved to a runaway train of settlement, dismissive of the rights of Palestinians and other non-Jews, cold to the concerns of a sinking middle class and the drowning disadvantaged, contemptuous of the concerns of the larger Jewish world.

Cynic, I have to say that I think you would agree with the video above.

i think many in uk are too, and quite rightly so ..... in fact i have berated my local rabbi for the lack of backbone shown by the jewish uk leaders ...... apparently there are critical letters in JC ..... wowee! .... who the hell reads that? ..... none of them have the moral outrage to make a noise in the wider media .... totally pathetic!
