    of course it was inside job to invade other countries to get oil, it happens all the time... and people who knew anything always commit suicide or die in strange accidents... yeah, coincident and conspiracy I know;-)

    I think there could be a confusion between the delivery system & the warhead.

    The biggest Iranian missile is pretty inert unless it has a payload to do the damage.

    AFAIK, Iran has no nuclear weapon (the only weapon that could deliver that much damage).

    No I'm not confused about the delivery system and payload which are obviously two different things . An mrv capable system which the Iranians apparently have combined with HE (high explosive) multiple warheads can and would cause a lot of damage when dispersed it's an area as opposed to single target weapon system.

    I just want to say again that I am not antisemitic at all. It just happen that those people who are responsible for world wide terrorism are jews, thats all, but obviously not all jewish people are responsible for this and cannot be responsible for others actions. Just to let some people know about how some jews control media , governments etc. Example, around 70% of politicians in Poland are jewish or have jewish roots. Most of them have changed names in mid 1960 and they admitted it on the TV in 1989. They are also files , original documentation in the polish IPN ( the keep all history files ) and everyone can view them. They are ruining the country. Exactly the same thing happens in most of eastern europeans countries. Someone who has no jewish roots or is recommended will never enter any government offices. It is a fact. I had to live there for many years when parents moved to work there, know their history very well.

    Hmm.

    Claims that Jews are masterminding world events? Check.

    Claims that Jews are running world media? Check.

    KKK video? Check.

    Claims that politicians are crypto-Jews? Check.

    Claims of "Jewish friends"? Check.

    Arguing against moderation? Check.

    9/11 was an inside job? Check.

    Any further posting along these lines will lead to an immediate ban for kult. jimeryan22, consider yourself also on protective notice - there's a forum for 9/11 stuff, use it. Don't post that stuff here.

    That's not terrorism, that's deterrent. Same reason why Georgia is unlikely to make another grab at South Ossetia against Russia any time soon: the larger military force can and will bring its disproportionate weight to bear and spank them, just like they did last time.

    Looking through the various proposed legal definitions of terrorism over on Wiki, one of the noticeable exceptions is that of a State's legitimate armed forces, as their conduct is already governed under the Laws of War. Most of the definitions of terrorism require extra-jurisdictional acts by non-state bodies.

    There is no agreed upon definition of terrorism. The usage would suggest its a term that is to describe the other guy in a conflict, if we are to be honest.

    Also, if we are to take that terrorism is only committed by non-state actors, then the term state terrorism can be used, which basically means the exact same thing, just committed by a state actor, or maybe the term war crimes could be used to describe the doctrine.

    What is the difference?.... Is it not all for defending an area?
    (Forgive the sidetrack)

    Air defence can be broken down into three general terms - long range, medium range, point. Point being the last line of defence before the projectile hits the target if the other two fail to do so. Long or medium range missile defences aren't of much use considering the proximity of Israel and Gaza - systems go after missiles in different ways. When rockets leave Gaza they are pretty much already in their terminal phase which is why a point defence system is needed to engage them.

    You think that terrorism is only related to war and killing people. This is a problem. They control and destroy counties economically etc. Israeli Prime Minister and other israeli politicians approve it. They are worse that uncle Adolf. Concentration camps etc. As I said, I am not getting involved with someone who protects and defends terrorists. No negotiations with terrorists or their supporters.

    If anyone actually Googles that quote, like I did, you will find it was fabricated by the whole first page of the search. Kult I've seen many people like you on other forums and I really can't understand your mindset. You post videos from the KKK, you think Jewish people basically control the world, etc. It was probably ignorant of me to think that I wouldn't come across someone like you on this forum. It's absurd to claim you're not anti-Semitic if you read all your posts.

    (Forgive the sidetrack)

    Not necessarily. CRAM is basically a big machinegun, with a very limited range, a few hundred yards. It is based at/on the facility/area being protected, and can only protect that facility against rounds coming at it. Something like a base. Iron Dome is capable of protecting an area of a couple of square miles, and the incoming need not be aimed in the direction of the weapon system.

    I'm not at all, but there was nothing in that quote about violating the laws of war.

    I expect the Israelis to adhere to them. Sometimes they don't, and sometimes when they don't, they even discipline those who don't. Sometimes they don't and the behavior is tolerated, which I'm not so keen on. That's a different issue to the quote on the doctrine above.

    It rare that Israel will punish anyone for war crimes, and only ever after it becoming a big deal in the worlds media, and more often than not they get a slap on the wrist. Israels record on punishing wrong doing is abysmal and very much for show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,747 ✭✭✭✭wes


    Firstly it's an Israeli system, not American. The US system is CRAM, and is a point defense system, not an area defense system. Secondly, as far as anyone knows, the system is doing great, so why not let the perception stand? And thirdly, a US ally is involved in an ongoing conflict. It would be rather bad form to be releasing performance figures during that conflict, it is not to the ally's advantage to not have the opposition guessing at its effectiveness.

    Who said anything about releasing it during the operation? There has been plenty of time since the last time it was used for independent figures to emerge, and secondly its seems that quite a few people are question how good the system actually is, considering the high miss rate of Hamas rockets to begin with. There is most certainly enough doubt to be raised at how good there system is.

    Iron Dome isn't designed to shoot down every rocket, it is only launched when the system predicts that the rocket/missile is going to hit a populated area. If the system thinks that the projectile is going to hit an unoccupied area then it doesn't launch, there's no point in using up expensive missiles just to protect some scrubland.

    Given the lower level of casualties compared to previous rocket barrages and the fact that no areas have had to be evacuated indicates that doubts about the system don't currently stack up.

    As we know from our own experiences here, peace needs to be formed by moderate politics. The problem in Israel at present and Palestine too is that total hardliners predominate and feed off each other.

    Unfortunately, the moderate Rabin was killed by an extremist back in the mid 1990s and the tough but pragmatic Sharon mysteriously got sick just about the time he was doing a deal. I would bet my life on it that Sharon was meddled with by extremists too.

    On the Palestinian side, the more moderate Fatah/PLO just got very corrupt allowing so-called 'Islamists' in to fill the vacuum. Islamic Jihad/al Qaeda do not deserve to be in any settlement. Hamas are a different entity and there is within it a debate on where the organisation is to go. The more moderate elements in it need to be encouraged and Israel needs to meet them and come to an agreement.

    Current Israeli policy feeds into the hands on extremists on the Palestinian side which in turn feeds extremists on the Israeli side. The last 2 Israeli leaders Olmert and Netanyahu were hardline rightwing warmongers with little or no sense of pragmatism. The president, Shimon Perez, is a moderate and would be ideal to have a bigger role in Israeli politics but unfortunately Israel's presidency is ceremonial.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,378 ✭✭✭BuilderPlumber


    To put the context of the conflict into perspective, I will give you a fictional example from our own struggle. Someone mentioned similar already.

    Imagine in the wake of the killing of Mountbatton in the late 1970s, the British Army decided to retaliate and picked out the following 'IRA strogholds': Lifford, Ballinamore, Monaghan town and Dundalk and then razed these places to the ground and then invaded Donegal, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth to form an 11 county Northern Ireland/Greater Ulster (The 9 Ulster counties plus 2 from other provinces thrown in for good measure) that remains in place to this day.

    The British never did this and never would as they understood things. But this is exactly what Israel has done to Syrian, Egyptian, Lebanese and now Palestinian territory.

    I have no doubt that it does work to a degree, but I think question being raised are valid. Also, its just as likely that Hamas rocket capability has degraded over time, with the ongoing siege.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,778 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    I have no real issue with anyone defending themselves, but it seems that Israel use an attack against it to destroy as much as they can. No sense of proportionality. This is borne out of pure hate. Analogous to a big strong man who gets attacked by a small woman. The man has the ability to restrain and defend and thwart any real attack, but he goes steps too far and destroys the woman with brute force. Completely nasty and unnecessary!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    Israel is presiding over a military occupation, a blockade and a system of apartheid in Jerusalem. It is not "defending itself".

    “When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing… You can’t defend yourself when you’re militarily occupying someone else’s land. That’s not defense. Call it what you like, it’s not defense.” - Noam Chomsky

    The muslim terrorists know how to make the truce, the just don't know how to keep the truce.


    A fragile truce between Israel and Hamas to end an eight-day conflict is in danger of blowing up as the Palestinian group’s military wing, along with other Gaza militias, reopened fire on targets in Israel, and Israel has fired a warning shot into an open area in Gaza, signalling it is prepared to resume the war.

    There was a report on the BBC news last night with what the Libyan's would have called a "technical", a toyota pick-up truck with a multiple rocket launcher on the back and it was in plain sight on a street surrounded by houses.

    Hamas LOVES civilian casualties, because it can hype up impressionable arab youth into hating Israel and fool gullible western sympathisers into opposing Israel's right to defend itself.

    The IDF warns civilians to clear out of areas before making attacks, it isn't the IDF's fault if idiots decide to suicide themselves by being human shields for Hamas http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/frame_game/2014/07/gaza_civilian_casualties_while_hamas_targets_innocent_people_israel_tries.html

    Hamas and Islamic Jihad are the ones making indiscriminate attacks on civilians, but you'll hear the usual suspects on here say stuff like "oh they've only got unsophisticated rockets not like Israel" conveniently ignoring the fact that the 40lb of explosives on a grad rocket is plenty good a killing if it hits the right target, not to mention the more sophisticated missles that Hamas seems to have now.
    Explain this please, apparently Hamas fired rockets from a Lebanese power station in a previous conflict? Was Israel at war with the Christian population of Lebanon in 2006?
    Of course this war crime was swept under the carpet as it wasn't against "international law"

    Both sides are as bad as each other. Yes, there are good people in Hamas and in Israel's government who do attempt peace but every time what happens: the extremists get the war going again and everything breaks down. This is not the first Israel v Palestine war of course and it certainly will not be the last either.

    How much does Israel care what the world thinks about their war crimes?

    They just slaughtered 4 children (aged 10-11) who were playing on a beach in front of 10's of international journalists. They knew they were killing children and didn't care who saw.

    I guess the 4 kids killed on an almost deserted beach by Israeli artillary were a grave danger to the state of Israel.

    http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/16/witness-gaza-shelling-first-hand-account
    Only afterwards do we discover there are four others who are dead, all children, lying on the wall. I am shown a picture of one of the dead boys, his skin scorched and bruised. Their names are released later: Ahed Bakr, aged 10; Zakaria, 10; and two other boys from the Bakr family, both named Mohammad, aged 11 and nine.

    War is good for business and there has to be a war somewhere especially since things never kicked off in Ukraine much to the disappointment of the USA.
    Israel is the only country in the world with an operational anti-ballistic missile defense system on the national level – the Arrow system, jointly funded and produced by Israel and the United States. The Iron Dome system against short-range rockets is operational and proved to be successful. David's Sling, an anti-missile system designed to counter medium range rockets is under development. Israel has also worked with the US on development of a tactical high energy laser system against medium range rockets (called Nautilus or THEL).

    Deterrent? I'm sorry but don't get to set moral equivalence between a burglar alarm and butchering defenseless people for a crime they haven't committed. The idea alone is vulgar.

    Let's take an example. Do you think that the 10 year old who has had his entire family murdered this week will be "deterred" from resisting the Israeli brutal occupation and siege of his homeland?

    Has the abject failure of the American "war on terror" not taught anyone anything? Insurgent math and American misadventures has turned a rabble swinging on monkey bars in the desert into a cohesive army capable of holding cities and declaring their caliphate.
    Looking through the various proposed legal definitions of terrorism over on Wiki, one of the noticeable exceptions is that of a State's legitimate armed forces, as their conduct is already governed under the Laws of War. Most of the definitions of terrorism require extra-jurisdictional acts by non-state bodies.
    Pedantry.

    Terrorism is terrorism whether they are sniping children with their IDF rifle and a star of david insignia on their arms or they are a bunch of Jews dressed up as arabs and blowing up hotels to kill civilians.

    Well, seeing as the first time they heard of a ceasefire was via the media, the whole thing seems to have been set up to fail or that the Egyptians and Tony Blair (who was apparently involved) are incompetent.

    I would normally go for incompetence, but if the involvement of blood thirsty war criminal Blair turns out to be true, then it leads me to believe it was very possibly on purpose.

    Now normally when negotiating a ceasefire both sides are consulted, and that didn't happen in this case. Personally, I think Hamas should have accepted it, but fact that no one talked to them about, meant that it was always going to fail, and quite frankly the whole thing stinks a great deal, seeing as the mediators have a deep hatred for Hamas.

    Netanyahu and his predecessor Olmert are both war criminals and very similar to Slobodan Milosevic. All 3 of the world's worst neo-Nazis and all 3 very corrupt and self serving. But only one gets to be tried for war crimes because he is against the West.

    Israel has committed atrocious war crimes and because of their Western protectorate status can get away with anything. They are about the only state in the world that would get away with it.

    Now I know the Palestinian political and military representatives are no better but one is a kneejerk reaction to the other. Israel allowed Islamic Jihad (aka al Qaeda), Warriors of God and [the more hardline faction of] Hamas thugs to thrive in Palestine and who gets killed? Innocent people. Since Israel and Palestine are officially the one country, this is ethnic cleansing akin to Milosevic. The West are afraid of Israel too as are the Russians. One country in the world that would not hesitate to use nukes if necessary = Israel. The biggest threat nukewise in the Middle East is Israel, not some pipedream that Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia have going. Their nuclear plans are in infancy and even if they had them, they would never use them: they'd be a deterrent. But Israel would use them if necessary, if they had a major fallout with the West or Russia.

Since Israel and Palestine are officially the one country, this is ethnic cleansing akin to Milosevic. The West are afraid of Israel too as are the Russians. One country in the world that would not hesitate to use nukes if necessary = Israel. The biggest threat nukewise in the Middle East is Israel, not some pipedream that Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia have going. Their nuclear plans are in infancy and even if they had them, they would never use them: they'd be a deterrent. But Israel would use them if necessary, if they had a major fallout with the West or Russia.

    Israel would not nuke anyone cause they themselves would be wiped out not soon after.

    If it wasn't for the iron dome Israel would have a lot more casualties Hamas are as big animals as them they don't care either.

    Neither side here are good. Israel's hardliners feed off each other and it also allows the hardliners in Hamas to suffocate the moderates in Hamas. It also allowed Islamic Jihad (al Qaeda) to thrive and cement their aim to overtake Hamas. Islamic Jihad (al Qaeda in Palestine) is the worst Palestinian entity out there and Netanyahu is the worst Israeli PM to have.

    This is such nonsense. The Palestinians are desperate for a state of their own and to reach some sort of compromise; .

    Just reading the news reports of the 4 boys kille.



    French video clip of the 3 boys running up the beach to escape after the 1st strike, then hearing another bang and seeing their bodies getting carried away and blurred out to protect us from their injuries. Sometimes this world saddens me so much.

    How can we let such evil go unchallenged? Shame on Israel and Obama for standing by and letting this carnage continue.

    Shameful. This is genocide. For shame Israel. For shame America. How can anyone justify this? Targeting children? What kind of monster have you become when this is acceptable?

    They are not targeting children, israel notified them to clear the area.

    hamas tell them to stay, so hamas can hide behind them.

    The over 7 million Ukrainians that were starved to death, because of the actions of Jews like Lazar Kaganovich never got any sympathy though did they?

    Conas, your posts have begin to fall into a pretty standard anti-Semitic pattern, and this one looks like the cherry on top. Don't post further, thanks.

    iMrApex, your posts increasingly look like a combination of stonewalling and soapboxing. Nor do you get to dictate the nature of reality, or claim that it is, and implicitly should be, dictated by force.

    moderately,

    How? Lazar Kaganovich was a Jew that was found guilty a few years ago, of the Holodomor genocide in Ukraine during the 1930s. All documented, and are all proven facts.

    MOD: Banned 2-weeks. See details below.
