Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.

So Israel should be condemned for inadvertently killing civilians, but Hamas shouldn't be condemned for intentionally targeting civilians? The U.N. (both the Security Council and the General Assembly) has repeatedly rejected resolutions condemning Hamas, its attack on Israeli civilians, and its taki...

For some reason I cannot post on that thread again.
No idea why. Would you send me a screenshot of what happens when you try to post?

Re: QUOTES

Let's try to keep this thread to quotes and discussions of those quotes, rather than discussions of each other.

Re: WORDS

Devil's Advocate Likely we’ve all heard the expression “to play the devil’s advocate.” It has an interesting origin.

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.

A reasonable approach, but two problems: 1) The Arabs have been offered a two state solution repeatedly and always refused, 2) How does one deal with Hamas, or get it under control? The problem isn't the moderate Palestinian and Arab states, it's the extremists, as always. The previous offers faile...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.

Far easier to say, rather than this conflict has gone on for long enough - it's time to sit down with the moderate Palestinians and Arab states, with the aim of achieving a mutually acceptable and recognised solution, based on 2 states. A reasonable approach, but two problems: 1) The Arabs have bee...

Now if you are a Hostage or get to be one you certainly would be hoping that someone like John Bolton former national security adviser would keep his mouth shut. Your chances of survival just dropped dramatically Only if you think that Israel is taking advice from Bolton, and if you believe the rep...

Really weird how his German accent got thicker, more Strangelovian as he grew older.
His brother, Walter, lost his accent fairly early on.

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.

What has this to do with the subject matter, war hostages, killing, bombs etc? It started with the video (one of many available online) of Gazan children in military fatigues being taught to hate and kill Israelis and Jews, consistent with the Hamas charter. Hamas, being the government in Gaza (at ...

Look at any country where POLITICIANS Tamper with the educational process stating what can and cannot be taught or even read.
Interesting point. Who should determine what can and cannot be taught? Parents? School administrators? Teachers? School committees? Someone else?

Re: FEDEX

Someone sent me a package by DHL once. They flew it to Suvarnabhumi, then put it in ThaiPost and mailed it up to Udon. Got to Suvarnabhumi more quickly than from the airport to Udon.

Mr. Doodoo, who are the Israelis being released and why were they held? Do you have any insight on that? NOPE. Of course not. :roll: The Israelis being held are, for the most part civilians, children (including infants), women, and the elderly, and all of whom committed the war crime of living not ...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.

No question that Hamas was smart to take hostages, it certainly changes the equation. I don't see Hamas ever returning all of the hostages. Hostages are its strongest negotiating card. IMO Israel is going to have to write off some of the hostages. Its offer to extend the cease-fire for one day for e...
