'Israel's strike on Syria last month killed top Iranian general' | The Times of Israel

This is bigotry. He supports palestine. I don't. Everyone has a right to express their own views in a democracy/free speech no matter what the view itself may be.

This was a busy week at the Lebanese border, starting with a call up of thousands of reservists for a surprise "drill" and ending with some obscure attack on the Lebanese Syrian border, apparently another weapons convoy from Syria to Lebanon. Last time it happened, an Iranian General was killed...

That is mostly true. The reality is that peace must be achieved in the long term so all parties can coexist. But there is a big obstacle to peace - where every negotiation fails. The "right of return" of Arab refugees. This is one condition that Israel will not accept. Can you tell me the...

French appeals court rules Israel is not illegally occupying land Dreuz reports that a French appeals court in Versailles has ruled that Israel was not acting illegally in building a light rail line across the Green Line. The PLO must pay 30,000 euros separately to Alstom, Alstom...

Yeah, but if you look at the recent past, they have made only 2 airstrikes - both of the times weapon's convoys were targeted. Although news sites are pointing out to Iranian weapons, it could have well been chemical WMDs. For Israel, it is a precarious situation, so Israel would want to do as...

Yes, it may be seen by some as a double standard, but one that has religious backing. Plus, KSA never claimed to be a multicultural society like the UK. Both UK and KSA sticks to their words - that UK is multicultural and KSA is mono-religious. If UK claimed to be multicultural but didn't allow...

This is a form of neo-bigotry that seems to be gaining ground in the West. I would hold the evangelical Christian organisations in the US indirectly responsible for this form of bigotry. 95% of all Islamophobic websites are created and run by them. Europeans are getting influenced too. PS...

The title is misleading. It was a one-off raid to destroy a weapon convoy bound for Hezballah. A calculated risk that a limited airstrike would only provoke limited response. Otherwise Israel would rather keep out of the Syrian mess.

They do have oil. But in a way you're right, they do lack other resources and the capability to sustain without trade (agriculture). In that respect, Iran is favoured. Another potential factor is immigration. Right now, my guess is that the brilliant minds from Islamic world tends to emigrate...

Being a super power is not technically possible without adequate natural resources because without resources, you won't be able to support your military in a large-scale war. A quick look at the history of both US and Russia would reveal the importance natural resources played in their rise...

What I don't get is why are you singling out Khazar jews. You have no problem in considering Jews, who immigrated from Arabic countries, as "real" or semitic jews. But you seem hostile to Jews who immigrated from Europe (Khazar or otherwise). Why is that? Does Israel' say anywhere that it only...

Israel isn't based on racist/ethnic ideas, so your khazaria argument is pretty much irrelevant. Khazars were the most battle hardened nation at the time. They stopped the Arab Umayyad invaders at a time when everybody else failed.

USSR/Russian jews were high value immigrants compared to Arabic Jews. As a poster said before, they form a major part of the Israeli establishment today.

Palestinian refugees from Syria struggle for recognition in Egypt Fatemah El-Taweel, 31, left war torn Syria where she was born and raised for Egypt. Yet when she attempted to send her three children to school here she met with an unexpected response. “A Palestinian, and you want to...

What they actually want is a more peaceful, just society. That the peaceful/just society would be a "sharia state" is their delusion.

So, the situation is like this: 1. Sunnis want the whole iraq to themselves. They are ready to kill shias for that. 2. Shias want the whole iraq to themselves. They're ready to kill sunnis for that. A similar situation is in Syria. Logic and reason dictates that although they want the whole...

You raise valid concerns. But one thing is for sure: The status quo doesn't seem to be working. We're talking about a "new middle east" here.

America had an edge since the last 100 years and Israel had the edge since the 6-day war. What new edge are you talking of? You have to realise that USA is now concentrating on reducing it's dependency for energy on the middle east. More and more extreme right wingers and tea-partiers are...
