The ICJ (international court of justice ) has determined that Israel does not have a right of self defense against a non-state entity.

Basically.

ICJ dubiously passed a "advisory" ruling stating construction of the West Bank Barrier could not be justified even though it was built in response to suicide bombings and terrorist attacks.

Then a week after it was passed judges expressed "regret" over the ruling..but did not rescind it.

they ignored all evidence provided by intelligence and military experts.

ICJ is an extension of european imperialism. virtually all of the judges are pro-Arab apologists who have been bought off by the saudis.

notice no ruling on the massive 1,100 mile barrier that cuts right into yemen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi–Yemen_barrier

and SA killed 8,000 in 2009...ahh, no outrage from Fallout.
 
Lets see if I can get my arms around the IHV contention of, "If Obama can bomb Afghanistan, Netanyahu can bomb Lebanon and Syria, no?

Certainly more morally and legally defensible. Hezbollah poses a far greater threat to Israel than al-qaeda and the taliban poses to America."

The point being that is so GWB failed reasoning its not funny. Two wrongs that do make a right, the stupidity has not worked in Afghanistan and the similar stupidity has not worked for Israel. Just what the world needs, more intractable quagmires, are they cheaper by the dozen yet?

But we can trust IHV to advocate past failed policies should be the model for future failed policies. Oh goodie, we can have conflict and war forever, and heaven forbid, that we should ever solve problems fairly or ever.
 
If the hezbollah card is played, there is only 1 way to shut off the chain of supply from Syria, and that would be to nuke Damascus. I think Syria would take one for the team, in order to justify the same happening to Tel-aviv. The stage is being set for the events that have been talked about for more than a millenia. When "they" have 1 working bomb, it is go time...

What a brilliant point Nick, England was a country and our founding fathers in the USA were terrorists.

Shall we join you in recanting American independence as you surrender to our former British overlords. Let me know when you formally recant, for I for one want to attend your official surrender ceremony. Maybe the British embassy in Washington maybe a fitting place, as the rest of the American people join you in recanting the errors of our ways.

*rubs hands with joy*

I intentionally didn't say anything. I knew you'd fall into this trap, although I had no idea you'd go as far as favorably comparing Hizballah to the founding fathers. Well, Hamas might have some , very slight excuses for their behavior, but what does Hizballah have in terms of moral justification? Being that they are supported, funded and armed by Iran and Syria, they are the exact opposite of freedom fighters.

In your example, Hizballah would be equal to a militia located in Canada, funded by the British and terrorizing the founding fathers.

And yet you protect them.

Brilliant.

That comparison would be unfair. Hezbollah doesn't have millions and millions of Indians they are going to genocide after they get their independence.
You really do hate your country. lol
I think honesty is the only foundation appropriate for anything resembling love. Unfortunately for most people this would create a world without love because what they call love is built on only lies. Many people, when confronted with truth, accuse the speaker of hatred. Just because you can't imagine a person capable of being honest about American history and loving the USA at the same time doesn't mean it's impossible. It merely means you lack imagination.
 
If this is a game changer, then Israel will think twice about violating Syrian and Lebanese airspace, which they do whenever they damn well please. Now that their big cities and nuclear sites are within range, I can see them being targeted in a future conflict. The fallout (no pun intended) would be huge.
 
Now if a drug cartel in northern Mexico got ahold of Scuds, how long would it take US to preemptively attack them? To be precise, how many hours would it take the Liberals in white house to decide on such operations. I'm guessing single digit.

Why would drug cartels attack their customers?
 
Why is Israel allowed to have it and Hezbullah isn't? Who's going to stop them from getting it? If the answer is Israel, then go ahead and stop them. As long as American soldiers don't die, I couldn't care less.

Your also an idiot!!
What an assinine statement-- As long as American soldiers don't die, I couldn't care less.

I am an American citizen living in America. My primary conern in foreign affairs are American-centric. If Israelis and Arabs want to annihilate each other, I don't care. Sorry if it hurts your feelings but the rest of the world matters less than my country.

nah, it seems you more than support Israel's enemies and are only concerned about Israel reaction and response.

Far from indifference or apathy.

The reality is Israel is an historic ally of the USA and being "American-centric" in my mind means supporting countries that are pro-America, which Israel has consistently been.

In my experience, these James Baker/Pat Buchanan phonies who wrap themselves around the American flag and denounce Israel as some foreign entity opposing America - or not in the "interests of America" - needs to read a fuckin book.

Israel has done more for America than any other nation.

Disagree?

What did Bibi Netanyahu say? Oh, that's right: "Nations only have interests, not allies."

Pretty succinct, don't you think? Unless Israel has something America wants, again, I don't care. Take your guilt trip to Germany, they owe you.

Lets have a debate here: What kind of conditions need to materialize for Israel to be justified preemptively striking Hizballah? ICBMs? Nukes? Never?

Maybe Obama will scold them and they will change their mind 🙄

don't deflect.

This is what you said:

I said if you truly are American-centric you would know Israel is as American as it gets.

There is not a single nation on this planet that is not more pro-American than Israel. This is a fact.

Why does the USA support Israel? Because the Jews own America?

again what an assinine comment!!
point us towards one instance where American troops were attacked in this whole Israeli, Hmas, hezbollah thing....you can`t!

So now you see why your ranting a pretending to be patriotic and all is assinine....

Because it's predominantly Christian and they need Israel around for the end of times so Jesus can slaughter them.

I never said they did.
 
Where do you think most of the drugs in Israel come from? Lebanon is Israel's Mexico in this sense. Don't mix business and pleasure.

Oh, I thought you had bigger problems with Lebanon (as per your OP) than drugs. You should be careful before Hezbullah goes into the drug business and starts adding its own ingredients.

Hezbollah is already in the drug business. Palestinians as well.

How else did Arafat pay for his mansions in Paris and penthouses in Eastern European?

Unlikely. It seems this is a common fallacy among far-left trolls, but the reality is most Christians support Israel because it has more respect for Christians than any other state in the Middle East or Muslim world.

Just ask the Christian Dinkas fleeing the peace-loving Arab Islamists in Sudan and Egypt.

I don't think Stephen Harper is a fundamentalist.

Arafat got his money by siphoning off his piece of the money from international organizations and people who came to the aid of Palestinians. It wasn't drugs. By the way, if Hezbullah is selling Israeli drugs, don't you think it would be smart not to take it? I mean, they do want to kill you and all.
