I would like to say I agree with Hambone and what it was like before this little country existed.

The mainstream media never reports the wrong that israel does,they are only there to report what wrong is being done to israel,more people are finally waking up and understanding the evil that runs israel,and israel continuing to use the holocaust for what they do is no longer working either.

If you don't find something on Google it isn't the proof that a story might not be true.

Google is run by the FBI and well know for censorship. Most of the Bush critical movies on video google have disappeared!

You are an idiot and the all the 'real' Israeli wars prove it.

If you did your research you'd also know that the Liberty is also a bald
faced 50 year old lie to try to anger Americans. How come you don't comment on the USS Cole? Or the fact that Eqypt wouldn't let us use the Suez canal to transport it home?

America has greatly benefited from Israeli technology, especially in defense.

By the way, 'real warriors' don't hide in caves, hospitals, and kindergardens behind children.

And if the citizens themselves don't object, they deserve to be blown up with their co-conspirators. ( Three years ago, after 9/11, President Bush, Addressing members of the 101st Airborne Division, declared, “If you harbor terrorists, you are a terrorist.”)

Why don't you try visiting Hezbollah, let's see how long your head stays on your shoulders. If you were a real American, you'd remember the 220 Marines killed.

( 'many (notably the U.S. government) believe [2] that the Hezbollah, a Lebanese based militant group backed by Iran and Syria, was responsible for this bombing' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombing.)

I was just pondering what Israel plans to do to prevent the clouds of radioactive dust and fallout crossing its borders following its 2007 attack on Iran? Were you actually awake when the Chernobyl reactor flipped its lid? We are still suffering today in the UK from this unfortunate 'incident'.

Seems to me that the first line of defence agaisnt the inevitable nuclear fallout will be be to harness the massive volume of hot air eminating from the brainwashed zionist masses. Really! Did you have a some kind of crazy chip implanted when you signed up to the movement?

Anyway, before the Israeli government finally gets its way and blackmails the US into bombing Iran 'back to the stone age', I would urge any Israeli warmonger to perhaps have a quick rethink on this particular strategy.

I know of nothing that will prevent the horrendous contamination of your lands and waters by radioactive material. I would imagine that Israel is already getting a pretty unhealthy dose of Depleted Uranium as a consequence of the ongoing Iraqi holocaust.

I would also urge you to go and take a look at some actual photos of Iran today - it seems to bear a striking similarity to a number of other more westernised nations.

'I was just pondering what Israel plans to do to prevent the clouds of radioactive dust and fallout crossing its borders following its 2007 attack on Iran? '

The jet stream moves weather from west to east on planet earth. (You should visit Earth, we like it here.) No worries on the fallout, get those F-16's going IAF.

'I would imagine that Israel is already getting a pretty unhealthy dose of Depleted Uranium as a consequence of the ongoing Iraqi holocaust.'

LOL!... Buy a map. BTW, depleted uranium is... brace yourself... DEPLETED. You get more radiation from your smoke detector. It is also expensive, that is why it is used sparingly.

'To finish: There is only one race - the human race!'

Bumper sticker politics. Tell that to the folks who divide up the world into the 'faithful' and the 'infidel'.

Oh boy - this doesn't even merit an intelligent answer, but I'll humour you nonetheless.

Go get your own map and take a look at where the Ukraine actually is. And after that, maybe you could explain why much of northern Europe often gets a whole load of Saharan dust dropped on it when it rains. Basically, the gulf stream is way up - but lower weather patterns are significantly less predictable. For example, in the UK, we get a whole load of our weather from the north in winter, and regularly from the East throughout the year (hence the Chernobyl fallout problem), but thats clearly just voodoo yes?

'BTW, depleted uranium is... brace yourself... DEPLETED. . It is also expensive, that is why it is used sparingly.'

Now this comment is not only seriously disingenous, but it makes me really, really mad. If you've got a strong stomach, I want you to go and and digest some related info before you return here:

Please do yourself a favour and go get yourself educated before you make such dangerous and asanine statements. Either that or go get yourself a gun and sign up to fight in Israel's proxy army.


And finally,

'There is only one race - the human race!'

'Bumper sticker politics.' Possibly - but true nonetheless! Did you buy the book of bollocks yourself or did some other dimwitted Fox viewer lend it to you?

Green balloons! This is almost as nonsensical as the United States government insisting that 19 men with box-cutters destroyed the World Trade Towers. The Lebanese must have borrowed a page from the Neo-Con playbook.

' Basically, the gulf stream is way up'

That's Jet stream... Say it with me dear girl: 'J-e-t s-t-r-e-a-m'... I am an airline transport pilot...Trust me on this. Gulf stream=water, Jet stream=air.

'Go get your own map and take a look at where the Ukraine actually is. And after that, maybe you could explain why much of northern Europe often gets a whole load of Saharan dust dropped on it when it rains.'

Because, like any current there are eddies on the side. And high pressure or low pressure systems pushing it up/down...Good lord, I could bore you to death, myself too.

' but thats clearly just voodoo yes?'

Nope, just academic. If I were Israeli I would rather risk a little fall out on the off chance of some errant wind currents going against the prevailing weather patterns blew it back then a full scale nuculear attack prompted by some nutter who thinks that the cataclysm will bring forth the 'hidden Imam'. (Google 'hidden Imam' + Ahmadinejad)

Now this comment is not only seriously disingenous[sic], but it makes me really, really mad.

:-D


'If you've got a strong stomach, I want you to go and and digest some related info before you return here'

Yup, 'Dr Mike Repacholi retired as the Coordinator of the W.H.O. Radiation and Environmental Health Unit in June of this year. He oversaw the project.

He says, “Depleted uranium is basically safe - you can touch depleted uranium for hours and not cause and radiation damage you can ingest it and it’s excreted through the body - 99 per cent of it goes within about a day - you would have to ingest a huge amount of depleted uranium dust to cause any adverse health effect.”

Horrors!

Look, scary birth defects and flipper babies happen the world over. What do you blame it on when there is no 'depleted uranium' in the area? (Pollution from big multinationals, man.)

'US troops are having a ball with this stuff too. '

Hey, I was once one of them. (You are welcome) I know that stuff is top shelf. You just don't spray and pray with it. I would, in all honesty, be more concerned about the lead and mercury contamination of used ordnance then the depleted uranium. You won't latch on to that though, it's not as effective as the whole 'scare the lemmings with things they don't understand' tactic. Global warming anyone?

Please do yourself a favour and go get yourself educated before you make such dangerous and asanine[sic] statements.

I may be just a dumb old American veteran but I do know how to spell asinine. :-D

''There is only one race - the human race!''

And some are not as quick in that race as others. :-D

Israel is a discriminatory country of scum. They instigate their unstable neighbors and then whine and wonder why the whole world is against them. Racist terrorists should be eliminated, whether they are muslim, jewish or christian.

Maybe it's time for the Israelis to get a taste of their own medicine. If they use a nuclear weapon on anyone, they should be treated with absolutely no mercy. And the money men who are running the US should be immediately deported to face the enemy with their so called, 'brethren'!! Let the Israelis sacrifice their young men and women for their cause. At least the Islamic forces,(choose a country currently being demonized) are not having a country like the United States come in and do their fighting for them!!

Israel is the most hypocritical nation... They say 'Oh we suffered so horribly during the holocaust' yet they turn around and cluster bomb civilian areas, and were very prolific about it! they own nuclear weapons and try to sell this pre-emptive nuclear war agenda like its their 'right'. jewish rights seem to take prevalence over everyone elses. if you say otherwise, you are shot down by the anti-defamation league scum bags who think murderous zionist agenda is so righteous, it merits the oppressive military occupation of Gaza. they only use Americans as tools to further their advancement, making Americans believe that Israel is more holy than any other land. they openly mock American gullability!!! Israel is the enemy of freedom, and should not be destroyed, but should be, first of all, disarmed of any nuclear weapons!

Before 9/11 I might have thought that the Israelis should be making more of an effort to co-exist with the Palestinians. I resented sending them so much money for defense. I didn't appreciate many of the things they got away with.

After 9/11, when I saw aircraft full of human beings deliberately flown into buildings full of human beings in the name of Islamic terrorism I realized what the Israelis had known since 1948; That there are monsters out there who are wholly incapable of creating, only destruction. If they cant kill infidels, they kill each other. Barbarous, primitive savages who have created their god and their prophet in their own image, and then use him as another excuse to behave with absolute inhuman cruelty.

This has been confirmed daily since then. Schools filled with children and blown up. Night clubs attacked. Teachers executed. 'Honor' killings or honor gang rapes. DAILY. Atrocity after atrocity, all committed in the name of Islam or with Islam as the excuse.

Now the I think the Israelis can take every square inch of sand from the Mediterranean to Mecca. You can thank the cowardly Saudi who is hiding in a cave in Pakistan for that, and all who have followed him.

'it merits the oppressive military occupation of Gaza.'

There is no occupation in Gaza, remember? They left, so the 'Palestinians', without anyone else to murder, turned on each other. More conformation.

An Israeli launches a green baloon, arabs get pissed.
An Israeli walks his dog, arabs get pissed.
An Israeli wakes up in the morning, arabs get pissed.

All of you jihadits posing as 'American Citizen's or using Americanized names are the lowest sort of cowards, hypocrites, and honorless fags. Unfortunately, that's the tip of the iceberg compared to blowing your own kids up.

All of these things that y'all attribute to Israel - being sneaky, underhanded, low, cowardly, etc, can clearly be attributed to y'all in the mind of any reasoning westerner, simply by reading the shit you type and subsequently rubbing two brain cells together.

It figures that jawas would get pissed over balloons, because westerners invented balloons first.

This is a whole new level of desperation even for some of the neo-nazis here.

this is a test for any automated anti missile or motion detectors in the south placed by Hizballah..this is isreal's way of testing, however military experts definitely would have figured this out by now..

and to all who say Isreal is under threat of being wiped out..well...we all hope so, no one wants a new Raich or Hitler in the world and thats what isreal has become. the sheep has shed its disguise and to everyones surprise its a wolf :0
