Netanyahu was on fox news claiming that what is happening to Israel is equivalent to what happened to the US on 9-11. So they put out the question--
Is what is happening in the middle east the same as 9/11?
No. Indeed its almost unbelievable how passive the Israelis have been. But that's part of the problem. When Bush acted after 9-11 he tried to gather allies. But even if NO ONE would agree to help us we would have gone in a taken care of business anyway, and screw what the world thinks about it.
Israel needs to stop worrying about what the rest of the world thinks, wage full out war against the Palestinians. Then, and only then, when they are defeated, impose a peace settlement at the point of a gun. That's the only way this thing will ever end.
Their god is a hateful one, if his followers act so to earn his blessings.
Agreed. We are often told that we all worship the same god. But I don;t see any other group behaving this way, except Muslims.
Perhaps its not the religion but rather the culture that is based on it. But either way, with a few small exceptions, Islam and its followers are the greatest evil that exists in the world right now. (and the neo-marxist PC movement that is allied with them is almost as great an evil--and the two combined with America's ambivelance are destroying Israel)
But you've never stated a single argument as to why they are not. And unless you can do so adequately then you are a hypocrite.
I don't like him (Netanyahu), or trust him, or really care what he has to say.
This is nothing but ad hominem argument. Whether you feel you can "trust" Netanyahu has nothing to do with the morality of endorsing a country defending itself against the Bin Ladens that wish to attack it. If Netanyahu said 2+2=4 he would still be right whether you "trust" him or "like" him not wouldn't he?
yes. I consider those who had prior knowledge of the attacks and used it as a profiteering opportunity "assisting". How `bout you?
Who ARE you talking about?

Did you just learn the word "moron"? You throw it at any one you disagree with. From your posts I would guess that most anyone writing in here could match IQs with you and give you lots of change.
Benjamin Netanyahu is accurate and incisive as always.
He was subverted by the traitor-rapist 42 who sent the alligator-alien-mutant to install Barak.
Barak made such dangerous concessions he could not reveal them to his closest advisors.
Arafat rejected peace and declared war, sending an unending stream of butchery to those who offered peace.
Osama massacred our innocents--and we responded decisively with overwhelming force.
We remain wrongheaded in counselling restraint on Israel's part, when that nation's war on terrorism predates our own, and is in fact, seamlessly joined with ours.
Israel's current decisive action is as justified as our own, long overdue, and deserves our support.
Wrong, its called gung ho to wipe out Islamic terrorists and being consistent enough (and not a hater of Jews) to apply that standard universally.
Tell me Seti, when the Palestinians cheered on 9-11 as our citizens were murdered, were you cheering with them, after all you ARE on their side aren't you?
Your post was execllent, and especially this point which is one that, sadly, seems lost on Bush. These groups have already put out leaflets just this week urging attacks on US interests because of our "bias" (translation: we didn't send in troups to save little ugly raghead boy when he called to the "Great Satan" for help). If Israel goes we will be next, did anyone forget that it was Muslims that came and killed our people?
They hate us just as almost as much as they do Israel. And the notion that appeasing these slimebags antisemitism is going to stop them from hating us is about as smart as believing that OJ is searching for the real killers.
"There is presently a large traffic of intelligence "content" between the Israeli government and the CIA, Pentagon, U.S. State Department and White House in Washington. Connections between the Palestinian Authority and international Islamist terror organizations, including al-Qaeda, are being established, chapter and verse."
It seems we and Israel have a COMMON enemy does it not?
Actually, it's more like the 'Islamic rebels are barbarians' types, IMHO.
As I pointed out in an earlier post, somewhere in all those alternate universes, where the might-have-beens play with the ifs, is a world where the PLO reacted not as bloody barbarians, intent upon genocide, but as an oppressed people, suing for their liberation. Where the palestinian Ghandi/Martin Luther King, Jr., leads non violent protests to call attention to his people's plight. Where violence, when it does erupt, is a shameful thing, and peace is clearly in sight.
But that is make believe.
We live in the here and now, where a band of butchers, who by their very charter seek the death of a race of people, are lead by cowards who send befuddled youth on suicide missions to kill women and children. On purpose.
We live in the world where war is the natural state of man, and all the wailing and beating of one's breast will not wipe up a single drop of blood.
I would like to continue this debate with you but you are no longer making any sense.
In addition you have not made a single logical argument to support your conclusion. And lastly, you haven't addressed almost any of the points I have put forth.
Please do so. I would enjoy hearing a different point of view from my own. I often learn something in the process. But only if the person disgreeing has logical and legitimate arguments to offer. So I hope you will do so soon.
To deny your point would be to deny history but the future is ours to make. One can only hope.
In the meantime the wailing and breast beating continues for the hundreds of Israeli dead but not for the thousands of Palestinian dead (not to mention the million Iraqi dead).
