That would be a long time in coming, ever since we tossed Saddam under the bus as the fall guy way back during the Cheney presidency. Maybe even before that. Maybe this is the peanut farmers dying request?

Many Arab states prefer an unresolved Palestinian issue. They do not want to give up their icon of the fight against Western capitalism The lack of solidarity among Arab states towards the Palestinians is based on fear of Hamas. Arab monarchs, Islamists, Israeli hardliners and Western leftists also use the Middle East conflict for their propaganda.



By Hamed Abdel-Samad, a man I respect much. He was once one of those hateful anti-Western radical "Islamists" himself. Now he is mercilessly brandmarking Islam as what it it is, says ther eis no difference between true Islam and Islamism and that that lie is just a selfdeception of Western "intellectuals", and calls Islam openly fascist. For that Western "progressives" wish him to hell, while there are fatwas against him and he lives under 24/7 protection.

In a Danish article it is said there's a reason to why IDF hasn't invade Gaza yet. The reason is Hezbollah-Israel is afraid that they will make a massive attack from north when IDF start invading Gaza.

^ Highly unlikely as the IDF have fought on both fronts before and maintained the upper hand.

The reason is probably the US wanting time to explore political outcomes.

You could be right-I just wrote a summary on what it stood in this Danish article.

Here it is.

Its worth to note that the Hezbollah salvos are not blind salvos of rockets anymore, but are advanced guided missiles hitting individual tanks and targets that were aimed at. Hezbollah send contingents of its men to Syria to gain combat pratice, they proved to be much more efficient than the Syrian soldiers.



A war in the North will have totally different quality than what happens in Gaza.

Not only the North is dangerous now the West Bank getting hot. In the wake of the suspected Israeli airstrike on Gaza's al-Ahli Hospital, crowds in the West Bank capital of Ramallah are chanting tonight against Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas "The people want to bring down the president!" think we are watching a planned event on the West Bank.

My imagination ran away with me.

I was thinking into the near furture.

Israel invade Gaza, Hezbollah attack from north-Israel counter this attack and bombs lots of targets in southern Lebanon.
Syria and Iran attack Israel from Syria, later Iran send lots of ballistic missiles towards Israel.

And Israel is facing a four front war.
Which will drag USA and UK into the war.

As I said-My imagination ran away with me

Back to serious discussion

That strike might have been an errant Hamas rocket, it hasn't been determined yet.

I know, but people on the West Bank will never believe that.
