Did the Mayans explain how the world would end in 2012 ?
We’re living in the proverbial interesting times. Economic desperation is making everyone jumpy.
Israel should use the cover of the war/non-war in Libya to unleash a serious can whoop-ass.
Western libs (including the Israeli variety) maintained that all Israel had to do to pacify the Arabs in Gaza was to completely vacate the area. As usual, they were proven wrong a million times over — Gaza has been used as a rocket-launching pad ever since (with a few breaks in the action here and there). Now those same libs want Israel to vacate in total from the W. Bank and East Jerusalem. ...and the fools expect different results.
Frankly, the only thing that’ll pacify the Arabs is the neutron bomb.
My son is headed for Be’er Sheva on Friday for his civilian contractor job, he will be there for awhile. His employer said Be’er Sheva is beyond range of any Gaza attacks. It looks pretty close on a map.
Haaretz is so far left that it makes the Israeli Communists look like Democrats.
The Palestinians fire at Israel but the response air-strike against the terrorists is blamed for starting a new war.
Drinking too much Sabbath wine, eh, Harel?
Right on schedule. The Palis didn’t decide to do this on their own, they’ve been directed to step things up and provoke Israel into launching a military response. Look at the weapons seizure by Turkey, obviously part of a resupply run to Hezbollah in anticipation for the coming conflict.
With Obama on record now saying that he will intervene to prevent humanitarian crises, the groundwork is all laid out for the international call to be raised for intervention in Israel if a new conflict erupts there, especially if Paliwood gins up some of their trademark fake atrocities.
As a side note, if you look at where troops were stationed under Dubya, I don’t think it’s coincidental that we had Iran nearly surrounded on all sides. Compare that to who we have surrounded under Obama: troops in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya, Southern Europe, with ships in the Mediterranean.
What country might we be geopolitically preparing against with that configuration? I wonder....
Israel needs to get a lot more merciless.
.....wars and rumors of wars..............BTTT
Israeli citizens must remember that it is not necessarily the U.S. that is a friend, it’s only conservatives in the U.S. that are true friends that will back them, since we have this weird belief that everyone has a right to exist. Those in the middle are iffy. Those on the left, like muslims, are raging anti-Semites.
Israel should be building the most powerful military they possibly can.
Israeli citizens should be doing all they can to help the U.S. conservative cause.
Other random thoughts...
The whole game in world politics still seems to come down to communism versus personal freedom / the west. muslims are, i think, being used; the communist nations of the world could muster far more force than the muslim nations, which are basically insane asylums with oil wells. And when one obtains communist citizenship, one must trade in ones religious membership, as communists are very intolorant of any group. So if the western nations were reduced to second-class humility and china becomes the pre-eminent world superpower, they will become a much more demanding oil customer; they see a cup of rice a day as generous for their own citizens.
Shia muslim religious leadership in it’s iran hq has evidently tied up with communism as the west has sanctioned iran and sunni/saudi arabia sells oil to the west.
The key thing to remember that has changed in the last decade is that nowadays - China stands as a potential buyer for ALL the world’s oil. If Libya and other nations that sell to the west, after the revolutions, nationalize (the Libyan revolutionaries have already announced they have set up an oil company) and start selling mostly to China, we’ll know a) the iranian - communist cabal is behind the rolling revolutions and b) nobama and the communist leadership in the U.S. is supporting the cabal. Hopefully Europe has done their homework and can continue to buy Libyan oil after the revolution. They say they will be able to.
So Israel needn’t worry that it is the ultimate target, but they are a target nonetheless, like every other western nation. The are mostly being used to whip up mideast nations into a frenzy so they will fight to do the dirty work of toppling all western-friendly governments in the mideast. Israel, of course, has to survive the next two years and hope that conservatives win Presidency and Congress in 2012.
“The current tensions began exactly a week ago when Israel launched an air attack on a Hamas base in the ruins of the settlement of Netzarim, killing two Hamas men. That attack came in response to a Qassam fired from Gaza that landed in an open area. Hamas then responded with a barrage of 50 mortars on communities south of the Gaza Strip.” Huh? Began when Israel responded to rocket attacks?
Wars and rumors of wars.
