don't get me wrong; i think both parties are retarded and wish they would stop this. Most people do. It is people like you who form conspiracy theories and take an extreme side who are the dimwits. | I'm sure launching and showing weapon systems efficiency (90%) is great for business (Rafael Advanced Weapon Systems) on top of that the US has provided $600M in joint cooperation for the Iron Dome.
I think I read in new reports that S.Korea is thinking of purchasing the Iron Dome.
I don't think Rafael is listed as a public company though =(

In addition all i'm seeing is coverage of people in gaza getting blown apart. I'd say the biased western media is showing us what they can get footage of. Go to CNN right now and tell me what you see. Great you have some clips you want to show off, find me one that is truly sympathetic to Palestinian children being terrorized.
it costs israel 10,000 dollars to fire a single missle which is meant to counter a hamas missle and stop it from landing on israeli soil. It is filled with technology to be accurate and get the job done. If a hamas missle is headed towards outskirts of israel with no people, an israeli missle is not fired, to save money. This is American tax payers money and yes I know how the Iron Dome works.
so i ask you, why the FUCK would they waste these missles and taxpayher dollars to kill little children and women? Because they want to terrorize the population to give up resistance, thats why the fuck.
Because that's such a good PR stint? 320 children were killed last time and if it wasnt for the Iranian sponsored PressTV news, the world would'nt know much better. The west couldnt give two fucks and Harper stands by this shit... who needs PR in the western world when simple robots that cant think for themselves watch TV and suck in all that their president feeds them.
Because they enjoy killing women and children? Bingo, you only have to really know the genocidal isreali past which I bet you have no idea about because your education and media have kept you ignorant.
Because they want to piss off hamas? Give me a break man, a missle is not fired unless it is to protect. "a missle is not fired unless it is to protect" what is that suppose to mean? These strikes are all video recorded, show me how taking out a whole apartment is protective... over 1500 strikes on Gaza was to decimate the whole city along with its citizens and infrastructure.
you are comparing a poor, run down society who's conflicts are started by terrorists, Thats a stupid statement for a nation that's been made refugees on their own land. A run down society, ha, I bet your pretty passionate about Vancouver traffic too... can you imagine going to work everyday like this? People kept in cages before going to work = DEHUMANISATION - YouTube
to the most sophisticated army in the world, engineered to protect and with years of experience. They only have nukes, and they lost the 33 day war... even a Gaza ground invasion was too much for them... they truly did open the gates of hell when they stared this war and folded at the end with giving Palestinians access to move in and out of their town now with the new truce.
No shit 10 israelis died. Go look up numbers for the u.s vs. iraq war. Next take the american causalties and see how many of those deaths were due to friendly fire and other stupid shit. Every citizen of Isreal is like a soldier, so when Hamas gets accurate missile technology, they can also up the numbers by destroying the Iron dome and leveling apartments to murder as isreal indiscriminately kills people... your proud of this it seems... killing innocent women and children.
Its all isreal knows and you've been brain washed to accept this as justified it seems and as a win.
In addition, do these statistics account for things like bus explosions, nightclub bombings and other stupid shit? If you lived in israel, hyou would know that bus explosions are THE go-to move for quick terrorist acts. Terror for terror if the Palestinians have to stoop as low as the vile Zionist to survive. What kind of logic thinks a guy with a uniform who drops a 1 ton bomb from the air to be not a terrorist. I believe Saddam was funding some of the past bombing, giving a suicide bombers family money to do such acts. This latest bus attack wasnt meant to do major carnage as supposedly only one person has died.
But i guess the israeli-serving western media should've told you that already? But wait, innocent israeli women and children take the bus. Could your terrorists be murderers as well? :-o biased western media, where art thou?! Isreali citizens need to collectively stop supporting this middle eastern military base and go back to their Europeans and Russian homes. I wonder what percentage of Isreali's are actually ethnically Jewish (from ancient Georgia) and serving in the army. The people there now are soldiers for to be used by the world powers... the middle east hold a wealth of energy and the powers goal for a one world government (world dominance) will not be possible without it.
if there's one thing jews are good at, it's business and war is not good for business - it is a waste of money. American tax payer money.
Isarel has a booming economy in manufacturing and tech among other things, and putting people out of work to go fight is not good for business. These isreali terror campaigns and the backlash isnt good in keeping isrealis in town and importing more solider for future major conflicts.
Firing $10,000 missles is not good for business. A war in Gaza would've cost up to a billion in the figures Ive seen.
Israel goes to war to defend, not to achieve some goal which your western media apparently denies. Quote: People don't understand Arab anger against Israel. I am 52 years-old and in my life time, Israel has bombed Sudan, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq. And in all those wars and attacks, it portrays itself as a victim. And I did not count its war on Arabs around the world, including its murder of a Moroccan waiter in Norway because he resembled a Palestinian leader. It even downed a Libyan civilian airliner in 1973 because it "suspected" (wrongly) that a Palestinian leader was on board. This criminal war record of Israel is not covered in your morning papers in the West. | It is not israel vs. palestine, it is israel vs. whatever terrorist state is currently on board to go fight them. People around the world protest against isreal. Jews protest against isreal. Has anyone ever seen an Arab protest for isreal?
don't get me wrong; i think both parties are retarded and wish they would stop this. Most people do. It is people like you who form conspiracy theories and take an extreme side who are the dimwits. You support a genocidal state, the slaughtered women and children are proof enough, and I know you wouldnt have same views if you were of Arab descent. | .

I'm not up to date with the whole conflict but here's a little history of what the Jews have gone through for quite some time:
Jews have been terrorized since the 1100's and everyone thinks that all this happened in the last century or two. Around 1150 in England, it was claimed that a Jew crucified a Christian child. More of these accusation came up in England and elsewhere, often combined with the assertion that Jews needed Christian blood for their sacred ceremonies. Jews were then accused of being demons and associated with the Devil.
This Trend continued until the 1800's and in 1879, Wilhelm Marr published a book, "The Victory of Jews over the Germans," which systematically presented that Jews were corrupt by nature and not because of their beliefs. Karl Eugen Duhring also published "The Jewish Question as a Problem of Racial Characteristics" in 1880, which was a fuller and more sophisticated exposition of the new racist antisemitism.
19th century German also saw that 80% of German-Jewry was class as bourgeois and were overrepresented in lucrative or prestigious fields. Germans eventually began to hate them so much that the Kristallnacht happened and late the Holocaust,and Jews fled Germany by the thousands after the Kristallnacht.
Jews want Isreal as their country because they fear that without seclusion from other countries they are in danger of emancipation. Jerusalem is the their Holy city which should be accounted for. They want to be left alone and live their own lives without fear of being killed. The whole war in Isreal is because they can't come to terms on who gets what land its its become a big shit show.
CharlesInCharge, if you go back another 5 years you'll see that millions of Jews were killed. I wouldn't blame them for wanted their on little country so they can at least say they are safe. Jews haven't really done anything to anyone to force that has been done to them. Most people dislike them because they are intelligent and know how to deal with money (first started charging interest as merchants in the Middle Ages).
At least the cease fire plan has gone through for a day so far. Thank god for RT news. Russians actually show proper news stories and no western media bullshit.

+1 for RT news.
There are different sects of Judaism and when different parts of this religion teach that Jews are gods chosen people and with the whole migrating into European societies and charging interest to poor people, creating social economic problems, could be why many countries across Europe collectively expelled Jewish people.
One or more of Shakespear's famous plays tell of these stories.
I dont believe Jews were expelled when the Romans attacked their city in the holy land (see link below)... through out history Islamic and Jewish people have lived in peace... but how can someone say they are a just religious person to occupy lands and homes in which the natives were terrorized and genocided to clear them of the place. And this has continued to this day.
The world wars armies were both funded by the same international bankers and I think Zionism was an ideology to create a base in the middle east after defeating the Ottoman Empire.
This is a must read by an Isreali professor. Israel's surprising best seller contradicts founding ideology | The Electronic Intifada

he presents an irrelevant case as its for a State of Israel which isn't the argument here and it's based on ancient stories. The whole mess is revolving around the occupied territories within Gaza and the West Bank which is causing the displacement of millions of Palestinians, forcing them to live in sub par refugee camps, and the fact that Palestinians not in the refugee camps are living in apartheid, a modern day concentration camp!
The very fact that he blatantly dismisses this and holds a biased view of ancient history to a higher regard, which he uses to justify actions against palestinians (the same actions that the jews faced), warrants him not to be taken seriously imo Posted via RS Mobile

The Merchant of Venice is not a criticism of Jewish people, it is a criticism of the persecution suffered by them.

A superficial reading of a play written with profound and deep complexities results in a dramatic misinterpretation of it.
Marlowe was likely an anti-semite, but the jury is somewhat still out.

And I very much know that both parties want the same land and neither wants to be left out with less than the other. It's going to take some hardcore negotiating to come to a conclusion over the whole war.
I haven't read much on the Palestinian side and their views of the situation, which is why I feel I don't have the right to comment on a such a topic. If I'm not sure about something I most likely won't comment with an answer. I'll post a question instead to get more insight on the topic.

When you say "Jews haven't really done anything to anyone to force that has been done to them." the documentary, This Land Speaks Arabic, shows how Palestinians have been genocided from the very beginning of the immigration and this has continued to more recent event as the Jenin town massacres. Your either playing stupid and passing disinformation or you're ignorant. Quote:

The Merchant of Venice is not a criticism of Jewish people, it is a criticism of the persecution suffered by them. | Shakespear's early writing is the only thing I can think of which dealt with usury in that time, I just remember the Al Pacino Merchant of Venice movie where he wanted some guys limb cut off for not being able to pay his debts.
Lastly, it cool of you to throw the word anti-semite around without explaining why. Quote:

Where as imperial powers, after defeating the Ottomans, started dividing the area into countries to better conqueror them... and installed a none Arab army with the fake Zionist Jewish state ideology.
Oil may have not been critical then, but the route to India via the passage there sure as hell was and still is.
What do you have to say about the Tel Aviv university professor I linked to who wrote the best selling Isreali novel When and How Was the Jewish People Invented? |
