Let's give the Euros some time. This might be just a first phase into a broader plan of forcing advances in the Palestinian statehood. Tired of offering up carrots, the Euros have finally proceeded with the sticks. But you're right that so far these sticks don't look very hard. Just compare...

I don't care much about this ruling - I don't think it will change anything for Hamas or the Palestinian people at large. Just see the fact that the EU's designation of Hezbollah as a terror organization didn't affect that group, or Lebanon as whole, a bit, for good or for bad. And considering...

Hillary can't be trusted to put a lid on the settlements. I don't like Obama, but it can be easily concluded, from their time as Senators in the 2000s, that she had more aggressive and warmongering instincts than he did. She's going to be a better partner for Israel, I think.

I did not know there was already a thread about this. Can a mod please delete this? Thanks.

The scathing report published Tuesday by the United States Senate Intelligence Committee on the CIA's interrogation of terror suspects reveals that the CIA's lawyers used the rulings of Israel's Supreme Court to construct a legal case justifying torture. According to the 528-page document, a...

Oh, that's so nice. Where would humanity be if people didn't tend for their fellow Al Nusra member so they can get back to Syria to wreak further havoc. Because these, according to the UN, are the people we should be grateful you're country is treating, funding, arming, or what not. The...

This is pretty wrong. Population movements within the Middle East following the Islamic conquests was minimal; there were not nearly enough people in the Arabic peninsula to populate the entire Middle East, and that fact, by the way, is still true today. The Arabic peninsula remains of the the...

Methinks Israel is resenting the growing alliance between Syria, Iran, and the West against ISIS. Israeli officials, Netanyahu included, have made a number of weird statements to the effect that Hezbollah is the devil and that ISIS/Al Qaeda are not so bad as the press makes them out to be. They...

For much of the length of the Syrian rebellion, news media have claimed that Israel has maintained neutrality between Pres. Assad and the rebels. Israel officially makes the same claim. But this is not true and has never been true. At least five times the IAF has attacked Syrian government...

It's a good story to tell those who say Israel doesn't occupy Gaza. Just see how the one Zionist who dared show up in this thread didn't respond to the story at all - he cherry picked a past story (Israel's destruction of Gaza's plant) to push unrelated conspiracy theories.

No, we do not know any such thing. It's awfully naive to put things that way in light of recent evidence. If anything the last few weeks have shown, it's that courts in the US are rigged against certain classes of people (Blacks, Muslims) and in favor of others (Whites, the wealthy). The...

Learn to write English - I can barely make sense of your trash. I will respond to the one thing that I could understand - that my post lacked relevance. A picture of the plant catching fire is very much of relevance. It is, after all, definite material proof that you were bulshitting in your...
