<< Fortunately for you, the Zionist contingent on this thread allows this type of lie to go unchecked. >> Fortunately for us the racist Arab nations are thousands of miles away from civilized nations, like the US, praise be to God! << In 1947 Israel attacked the Palestinians. In 1956 Israel attacked Egypt. In 1967 Israel attacked Egypt and Syria. In 1982 Israel attacked Lebanon. >> Awwwwwww. Did the big, brave racist Arab nations flee cowardly from the tiny nation of Israel? The tiny nation of Israel is such a big bully against the massive Arab nations. Even if what you said was true, which it is not, I get a kick out of the enormous Arab nations being pictured by you as weak and fearful. <g>

Boy Thomas... were the world to rely upon your logic, then if the US had caught wind of this WTC attack and taken steps against the perpetrators to prevent it, we'd have been guilty of "attacking" them... The truth is that Israel only attacked during those periods when threatened with economic embargo (blockading the port of Eilat from the Red Sea), and sponsoring cross-border attacks by Fedayeen. jajz-ed.org.il And after this war, Israel returned the Sinai back to Egypt, for the promise that UN peacekeepers would remain there to sustain the peace. But then Nasser decided to move Egyptian troops back into the Sinai AND KICK OUT THE UN FORCES... AND THEN Nasser ONCE AGAIN immediately blockaded the Straits of Tiran and Eilat, the very same act of war that started the 1956 war. jajz-ed.org.il So if the Cubans attempted to blockade the port of Miami, but never fired a shot at us, would that be an act of war?? What if Canada blockaded the port of Seattle and Puget Sound?? Would that be an act of war worth the US firing the first shot over?? As for 1982, well.. readers can just review the facts for themselves: rand.org jewishgates.org The Israelis captured a TREMENDOUS STOCKPILE of arms acquired by the PLO: "By June 11 Israel had achieved all of her original goals. She had captured more than 5,600 tons of PLO ammunition, 1,300 armored vehicles including several hundred tanks, and more than 1,300 anti-tank weapons. She had captured 9,000 PLO members and had cleared southern Lebanon of terrorists. Israel had lost only 130 soldiers. It was a stunning victory." So call them "aggressors" all you want. But if I were in the same situation, I wouldn't have been so patient... Of course, folks like yourself would have denied the obvious until the shells were actually exploding in your frong yards. Hawk
