Israel-Gaza: 'We are at war', says Benjamin Netanyahu

Could say the same about yourself.

(Knew Jewish people in my younger years.) Also know Muslim people now. All good people.

There's no winners out there.

A really interesting question to ask is what would happen if Hamas laid down it's arms and said it wound never attack Israel again and similar with Hezbollah.

On the other hand what would happen if Israel decided to completely demilitarize and had no army, airforce or Navy.

The Israeli's have been constantly attacked by the sorrounding Arab states since it came into existence. The rest of North Africa/western Asia has 20+ Arab states. Of them 20+ states there is no democracy, Israel is the only state that is a democratic state in all of that area. Ya 1-2 of the hold elections but if the results wrong it's overturned.

If Muslim fundamentalists gain power there is never another election held. It hilarious the way liberals in the western world support homophobic pedopihilie states who are anti democratic. You would not want to be non binary in any of those states.

If you were to have to live in any North African or asian state in that part of the world which would it be. Israel is the straight answer. Up until last weekend Netanyahu was politically a dead man walking. Hamas saved his political career , he should be going to jail but guess what he probably end up an Israeli hero

Israel is in Asia bass.

Alright North Africa and Asia. I corrected it for you

..

From the Internet ."Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian peoples in ancient times. Thus, Palestinian-Jewish rivalry is based in cultural and religious, but not in genetic, differences."

Who was the TD who said during a past conflict there that they should down together like Christains and sort out their differences. His name eludes me.

It's not illegal. It was set up by the UN. When the British left in 1948 the 5-6 neighbouring Arab kingdoms attacked and Israel ended up about 1/3 larger.

In its 70+ years of existence it has been attacked numerous times by neighbouring Arab states.

Isn't Russia afraid of Ukraine attacking with NATO hence current conflict there. S that makes it ok?

Much of Israel's land is held illegally. It's 1948 borders were very different to now.

Did Egypt mobilize it's army?.....did it order the UN forces off the border. Those are the facts. Israel once again expected an attack and decided to attack first. It was a series of miscalculation's by Egypt that lead to the attack.

Take your pick they all give virtually the same analysis.

He was the first Israeli Prime Minister born in Israel. His parents were secular Jews

Why so do you think him looking as he is creates an issue? Dise be need to look different

Iran will be joining the fray I'd say after these air strikes and their recent threats re striking lebanaon

Will America launch air strikes on Iran if they attack Isreal is the next question
