Re: Good for Israel

""palestinian soil" would include all Israel, according to Palestinians."

according to some Palestinians, as well as some Israelires.

"they've had diplomatic relations for some time
btw when one independent state encourages rocket strikes over the border into another independent state, what do you call that?"

That would be called war. But Israel has yet to recognise the Palestinian state, and in the process they can trim some ground of it. It's a strategy Chris.

"Arab-Israelis hold seats in the Knesset.  I hear the same lament from "oppressed" Flemish in your country--does that mean it must be true?"

They have to serve in the military longer though, just to name something.

"There is no point in a peace process.  The peace process is the biggest farce since the Berlin wall fell down.  Any economic growth by Palestine will be thrown into war with Israel.  I say that because they got hundreds of millions at Oslo and threw it into war with Israel.  They got their state and they started looting their own people. It's not Israel that prevents an Arab from owning hotels in Gaza.  The PA views such people as targets for extortion.  The PA, like Russia, is an organized crime ring with embassies."

Bollocks. It was always the Israelites who suspended the peace proces with building new settlements.
Labeling them all inhuman terrorists is a bit silly, or even racist.

"Would you prefer they fight rockets with rockets, not an embargo?"

They do that once in a while. When the Palestinians lob a few spitwads too much over those concrete walls, they bombard whatever building's still standing up (not to mention a hospital!) and drop enough coloured clusterbombs to mutilate children. Do not pretend cruelty is a Palestinian monopoly. What's needed is a true intention of peace. The Israelis aren't interested in it. They just keep them under their thumb and slowly build more settlements.

That was uncalled for, I don't go around spitting on your friends.
Like I said, they were bringing in food, better tents and he was going with a group of building engineers-mechanics- etc. to help set things back up.

Sure, their goal was to break the damn embargo, I don't deny that, and ferrying things through egypt, or that one Israeli border might be possible but the people of Gaza will never stand back on their feet like any human being should be able to if you don't let them breath.

Isreal just [] wrecked any alliance they had with Turkey for a long long time.

That said, I wish they had just surrendered the boats instead of turning violent.

Re: Good for Israel

The Free Gaza Movement set up the aim of breaking an Israeli blockade on the 31st May 2010. The reasoning for this was to highlight how strict and inhumane the blockade on the Gaza strip and the Palestinian people is. Aid agencies waste millions of dollars and weeks trying to ship aid into Gaza. The reasoning for this is due to a strict list of forbidden items that Israel will not allow into Gaza. They refuse to release this list, and will not say how the list has been calculated. Things on the list include:

Coriander (But not Cinnamon. Is Coriander inherently more dangerous than Cinnamon?)
Jam
Tinned Fruit (Does tinned fruit pose a security threat to Israeli security? Are tinned fruit rockets now a reality?)
Plastic Toys
Various items of clothing.
Cement
And obviously many more.

As a result, aid agencies are left guessing as to what is allow into the Gaza strip which wastes countless days and dollars.

Re: Good for Israel

In my corrections officer class my teacher talked about how his prison allowed canned food to be given by families to inmates.

Until he found a place that offered to can foods for anyone at a mall. He had a .22 pistol (small, very easily concealed normally) hidden in a can and took it to the warden with a label of something the warden liked thrown on after careful removal from the original can.

The warden ended that policy IMMEADIATELY.

Your friend should serve 5 years in prison Arcolex, you should have told him not to go.


Btw as a math scientist who studies other science, with experience in the combat engineers I happen to know some things are easier made into weapons.

Corn for instance can make a chemical gas. Cotton, as Chris showed, with other chemicals, makes a vert stable explosive.

The right combinations and boom!


And the Palestinians love converting anything that can go boom.



Oh and meth addicts in Portland Oregon know what can make meth, and where to get it, and how to convert it in a very similar way. You would be surprised to what extent they will go to in order to get meth. Just like the Terrorists in control of the Gaza will goto to make bombs.


Personally if Israel ever wishes to invade Gaza and kill 100% of the government there, as well as anyone with more than $100 and they ask if I would help I would say 'just make sure I got enough ammo please!'

The terrorists are in control, and any aid helps them unless only one usage, civilian.

I would rather kill everyone there than let their terrorism kill everyone in Israel, because their terrorism won't stop with every Jew being dead.

Israel attacked foreign ships in international waters with force. I call this piracy. The crew had every right to defend themselves against this aggressive action. All israel soldiers, who have killed crewmembers, must be brought before an international court.

Why haven't I seen hundreds of suicide bombers yet? According to you there are over 100000 terrorists over there all of them wanting to destroy Isreal.

Nobody here would bicker about international waters if their navy thwarted invaders where it was tactically practical. Nobody disputes that the intention of the boating enthusiasts was to violate Israel's law inside Israel. Newsflash: Turkey doesn't have a right to do that.

The silly thing about this thread is that we're discussing peace prospects with people who agree with much of the Arab world that Israel shouldn't exist. They will speak of real peace then talk about Israel being in the wrong 100% of the time, giving no attention to what acts provoke Israel to defend itself. It's silly to bring up facts and history. You just repeatedly get the same faulty analogies in response. Israel is bad and murderous, so obviously rocket attacks and violating their sovereignty is okay.

Interesting that Israel disavowed any genocides and invited any Arabs to stay in the new nation.

Interesting so many Arabs left, expecting all Israelis to be killed, to the last man, woman, and child.

The Palestinians are ruled by terrorists. The ones alive when Israel was formed wantd the Israelis killed entirely off when they left.

Countering with other stories does not negate the 100% dead fact.


These smugglers had a stated goal, and resisted paint ball guns with knives and batons.

They deserved to die.

Yes I said it, they deserved to die.

Turkey does not decide what gets through Israels borders and through a blockade. Nor does anyone in this forum. Israel does.


Further no one here can deny that Israel has tried peace a lot and that terrorists have sent mssiles a lot. To deny this is to deny the existance of Gaza and other Palestine lands and to ignore the missiles utterly.

The suicide bomber side is a funny diversion since the Palestines know how hard it is to enter Israel with a vest on. Israel checks! Israel has walls! Israel has automated machine gun turrents! Israel uses the most modern of sensors to detect things!

They use missiles since it gives then a chance to get away.

Re: Good for Israel

The Middle East would probably be more stable if we swapped the Peace Process for a War Process and sent it back to the 19th Century.  Then nobody would file motions or demand investigations. They'd either figure they could win a war, and start one; or figure they couldn't win a war, and shut the hell up.  Since all of Israel's neighbors figured out thirty years ago that they can't fight another Arab-Israeli War without getting nuked, that would calm shit down quite a bit.   Then if Iran was still wacko, they'd get flattened by Arabs before they screwed up the sweet life for all Muslims.  Then without Iran being a jackass and with all Arabs content to let Israel alone, the American Left would team up with the Ron Paul yahoos and pull America out of the Eastern Hemisphere. (then OPEC would really have our balls in a mangle, but hey)

If I were President I'd fire half the state dept. then I would commit to continuing the stalemate in the peace process, because frankly compared to the 1960s and 1970s and 1980s this is a Golden Age.  It's not like we win anything if everybody is happier than they are now by some miracle. And that nonsense that "Americans are dying because Israel and Palestine have a conflict" is just bullshit.  If it werent that, it'd be gay marriage or cheap beer or Comedy Central.  Or all three.  We're talking about shitheads who call us a "Crusader power" as if Geronimo's great-greatx50 grandaddy fought at Acre.

having a UN Security Council might have stopped the great powers from having WWIII for 50 years, but when it comes to the 3rd world, it's just a fulcrum for endless, useless violence.

Re: Good for Israel

The Foundation for Human Rights and Freedom and Humanitarian Relief was established in Turkey in 1992 by a member of the Turkish Refah Party, and was formally registered in Istanbul three years later.

Better known by its Turkish name (Insani Yardim Vakfi) and acronym (IHH), the Foundation's initial  mission was to supply aid to Bosnian Muslims during their conflict with Christian Serbs n the Yugoslavian civil war.

To this day, IHH continues to send food, medicine, vocational education, and the construction of schools, hospitals, medical clinics, and mosques. According to Reuters IHH

Re: Good for Israel

>>Yes now Isreal is a bullying coward who can't not kick you when you're down.<<

Generally when one is "down" one does not desire to deliver deadly force. I've never stopped hitting a guy because he was "down" while he murdered my buddies. That wouldn't make any sense.

>>And that's the point... It WAS someone else's fault, in the past, for creating this situation. Now it's just theirs for feeding the flames.<<

So Israel is 100% to blame for blockades in the interest of their security, and those who murder Israeli civilians are legitimate protesters whose protests just happen to take the form of civilian murder, which we cannot deplore. That's what you guys are arguing.

While I haven't supported all of Israel's actions over the years, to blame them for 100% of violence when Gaza is run by a murderous mob that terrifies its own people more than it does Israelis just seems a little ignorant to me.

Re: Good for Israel

"Nobody here would bicker about international waters if their navy thwarted invaders where it was tactically practical. Nobody disputes that the intention of the boating enthusiasts was to violate Israel's law inside Israel. Newsflash: Turkey doesn't have a right to do that."

I wouldn't call activists invaders. And I wonder what is truely the violated right here. Is it Israel's blockade, wich isn't recognised by the UN as far as I know. The international waters are a UN regulation though.

"The silly thing about this thread is that we're discussing peace prospects with people who agree with much of the Arab world that Israel shouldn't exist.

The founding might be a mistake, as much as protestant migrations a few centuries ago in Northern Ireland were. But that doesn't change the situation at all. The people who live there today are the descendents of the immigrants. I never said Israel's 100% wrong, but playing the victim of Palestine terror on the international level while having an ambiguous policy towards the Palestinians is, well, somewhat twisted.

Very mature Flint! There's a few steps you might have missed there:
1) is your source correct?
2) if it is, was the EU aware of it? If yes, why did they allow the organisation to branch?
3) if yes, were the people on board aware of these hidden agenda?
4) Did Aro's friend know?
5) Did Aro know?

The article describes the radical change in the balance of power in the middle east. If turkey switches sides to Iran and Syria, than Israel would be alone. Without turkey as an logistical harbour any US-intervention, in case of war between Israel and its neighbours, would be hopeless in the long run. As member of NATO turkey may even stop all support from the NATO alliance. Instead turkey may call for NATO support against Israel, if Israel would attack turkey in any way (e. g. attacking turkish ships).

Re: Good for Israel

Flint, can you provide the link to that site? I'll check it out myself.

"Do we nab pirates in international waters?"

See, they hadn't run the blockade yet, they were standing still on open waters. Israelies shot live ammunition and killed 1 person, wounding others. Then, when they  realized they had cameras they switches to non lethal ammo.

Now, if someone would shoot my brother in the face, then come in with batons trying to arrest me you can be damn sure I'm defending myself with whatever I can find.

And the 'weapons' are things you commonly find on ships. The IDF took these, put them on a Hamas flag that they brought with them then added some other things to make it look more pointy then took a picture of it. IDF have also been found photoshopping pictures on multiple occasions, how are they not the bad guys here?


"Further no one here can deny that Israel has tried peace a lot and that terrorists have sent missiles a lot. To deny this is to deny the existence of Gaza and other Palestine lands and to ignore the missiles utterly."

See, this is wrong. Each time negotiation start out eventually Isreal decides that 'this shit is going nowhere we are ending it' or they start building more houses. They keep fuelling the damn war.

"Turkey does not decide what gets through Israels borders and through a blockade. Nor does anyone in this forum. Israel does."
Now I think your general idea is that "might makes right" if turkey decides to destroy Isreal off the map, I don't want to see you whining on humanitarian reasons.

"Arcolex until you dump your friend I consider him a terrorist and you a collaborator."
