I'd suggest you read or reread Herodotus, Captain. I can always reread it myself, but my memory of it is less than two years old. It stayed in my mind because another pro-IDF troll, Voice of Sanity, was spouting the same proganda at the time.

It makes a nonsense of the claim that the Palestinians have no history – and as I mentioned the Jesus story and the continuity of using livestock for warmth in households also confirms their antiquity.

NBone is Isrfael unless you are Jewish.

Is that English or Arabic?

It is a fact of war for which the Lebanese themselves, the Syrians and Iranians are responsible.

The only fact is that the war started with 7 Palesitians on a Gaz abeach being shelled by Israel, whcih motivated a aresponse from Hamas, which ellicted a reponse from Israel, which ellicted a reponse from Hamas, which resulted in a insane response from Israel.

The fact is that Olmert is lying about what Israel are tryign to achieve, He sayd he wasnts th erturn fo the IDF soldiers who werr captured by Hezbollah. Insted of negotating a prisoner exhange – as Israel has often done with success – he is insitign on bmbing Lebanon back to 1980.

Thsi is Israel's cal, not Syria's and not Irans.

Those are the fact.

I was wrong to make that statement. I am relieved to know that at the very least, you are offended by the killing.

Is your ID supposed to be inoric or did you lose a bet? You really shoudl shance it to Viva Genocide.

Your friends at DFAT, did they also believe that Iraq would be a cakewalk, that the US would be greeted as liberators and that we would find wall to wall WMD there? Did they also believe the insugency were ded endeers in 2004, and in it's last throes in 2005?

This is an historic opportunity to flatten the Islamists once for and all

I can almost feeeling you cringing as you typed that. In your heart fo hearts, you wnast to believe this, but surely the logical side of you knows this is never goign to be acieved.

One doesn't even need to be familair with history to knwo that such a plan is destined to fail. Iraq and Afghanistan are two perfect examples of this flawed approach.

The other day, a top Iraqis General said this: "We're Closer To The Beginning Than We Are To The End Of All This"…

The best he could say was the the coaltiino weas not losing. So after three years, $300 billion, 2,500 American lives and countless Iraqi lives, the US are only breaking even in Iraq.

In Afghanistan, the Taleban are backin business in a big way. This week they just took two towns and KArzai is talking about the return of Taleban policing.

In the case of Hezbollah, if they were the local bike gang in a friendly neighbourhood, Israel's actions are akin to hitting the house next to the gangs headquarters in teh hope of somehow isilating the bike gang.

Completely futile. Overnight, Israel has turned a country that was largely against Hezbollah, into being completely behind them. Lebanon will be completely radicalised by this and with each strike, Isarael is recruiting peple and support for them.

Israel has no hope in hell of winning this, certainyl not from the air. IF they engag in a guerilla war, they will be sent back to Isrfael asw they did in 1996, with their tails between their legs.

Israel are clearly counting on the US for support, otherwise they would never have started this in the first place, but the US has not enough boots to help in a ground war.

So what it comes down to is, the onyl way Israel is goign to achieve their aims wil be through nuclear attack.

Your desperation is becommign all to obvious.

Iran does not have nuclear weapons: Iran lies about its nuclear capacity

No evidence of any nuclear weapons program in Iran despite intrusive inspections. Israel has lied and continues to lie abtou it's nuclear arsenal.

Iran does not attack other countries: Iran is an international sponsor of terrorism

Israel does both of these to a greater degree that Iran.

Iran as an Islamist state was created by a violence. Israel was created by the UN.

Isreal was created by vilence (he Irgun) maintained by violence.

Iran sponsored the Taliban, Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel sponsors science and the arts.

Irgnorant bullshit Captain maggot. Iran and the Taliban are opponents.

Iran discriminates against its Christian and non Muslim populations. There is freedom and protection for all religions in Israel

Israel treates non Jews like second class citizens. Jews in Iran live under infinitely better conditions than Arabs in Israel.

Iran has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel. Israel has never called for the destruction of Iran.

A false statement that was reecntly debunked, but maintained by Zionist extremists and Isreali shills.

Iran is sponsoring the insurgency in Iraq.

The US has created the insurgency in Iraq. The US has even turned to Iraq to help them stabilise Iraq.

There is no freedom of press in Iran. There is complete freedom of press in Israel.

The US is now blocking indepnedent reports comming out of the Middle East.

There is no freedom of association in Iran. There is freedom of movement in Israel. Unless of course you are carrying weapons.

And Gaza is one big prison.

There is no democracy or universal suffrage in Iran. Israel of course is a thriving democracy.

NBone is Isrfael unless you are Jewish.

Captain, it is you that is so so blinded by hate that you can’t reconcile that the Israel's shills, including you, are are recjoicing at every Lebanese death.

What facts did you not understand?
