    No, and I've been around. I have morals, and I watch out for any evil I may find, and I confront it. That's what I do. And I haven't discovered any of the connections you make, and I've been looking hard.

    IMO - its both greed of Land and Religion

    In vino veritas : ?

    Listen to this Israeli : "This is my land, God gave it to me

    Jew says This is My Land - Occupied West Bank Henbron etc.

    Stop and think, just for a moment; why do you think the Palestinians should not employ their legal right to resist an invader? The invader, of course, being Israel. I'm curious to discover why you consider the resister to be the belligerent party, and the invader and occupier to be innocent.

    You haven't been looking hard enough. Here is the leader of your 'ally', Israel, showing his true colours, and demonstrating his heartfelt appreciation of America, his positive role in the peace process, and his utter dedication in ensuring a peaceful conclusion is reached:

    Maybe you won't. The rest of us already know.

    Has there ever been a revelation of evidence that Assad used chemical weapons on his people, or are we still just going by Kerry et al assuring us this is so ? Assad denies he has done this. If there is a case against him, and proof to back it, let's hear it. Anybody got a link to that evidence ?

    Nobody has seen any evidence as to who used these weapons, only that they were used. There's lot of finger-pointing and assumption, expressions of 'confidence' and 'highly likely', but that's as far as it goes.
    Fortunately, after the Iraq WMD fiasco, those in power are being cautious about making definitive statements of 'proof'.

    It is evident that gas <chemical weapons> were used resulting in thousands dead.
    It is also evident that the Israelis intercepted convoys of missiles going to Hizballa in Lebanon.

    I surmise that some of these fell in the hands of Al Nusra and they committed the atrocity...
    Assad Senior was instrumental in the bombardment of Homs and killing 20,000... as the apple does not fall far from the apple tree, I must emphasize that the Assad family have a lot to do with murder.

    First of all, get your facts straight. You cannot get the name of the city in question correct and you want to debate historical facts? Educate yourself on the topic before you post.

    I heard a few days ago that we were supposed to get a report confirming Assad responsible for the chemical weapon attacks. Waiting...waiting.

    Same stuff I heard in political classes. I stated that I do see the Palestinians cause. I am not talking about them. I'm talking about why Iranians, Syrians, extremists from outside Palestine, etc. have no grounds to be inserting themselves in this conflict for over 60 years. The reason they are involved is religious, and they promote this religious crusade throughout their populations, because I've talked to many Arab citizens of other countries, and for religious reasons, they stand with the Palestinians.

    There is the UN report which states that Russian made M14 artillery rockets loaded with sarin were used. Unless the Russians are arming the rebels and training that ragtag how to handle, store and deploy sarin tipped artillery rockets and they also have the mobile launch units, then it was a Government job.

    What simplistic view of the world. How many military basis were overrun by Jihadists? How many chemical experts defected from the Syrian Army to the other side? Have you ever heard about CIA/MI6 offering a training to so called rebels how to handle chemical weapons? I guess no.

    Ancient Rome did. According to the historian Polybius, around 200 BC the Romans got tired of constantly being attacked from the north and decided they'd have to become imperialistic for their own self-protection. Israel never should have given back the territories they won in the Six Day War, and now they should drive out the Hezbollah and annex southern Lebanon.

    They are welcome to try. I am certain they would be 'welcomed'. Israelis are scared of Hezbollah. IDF still did not recover from their defeat in 2006. However, they use Sunni useful idiots to do the dirty job for them. Cunning plan.

    Each Arab rabble state wants to annex Palestine/Israel for itself; they don't care about the Palestinians.

    They were also defeated by the British-led Jordanian Arab Legion in 1948. That changed. You can be sure that the Israelis won't have the same problem with the Hezbollah next time. Unlike the bluebloods and brown-noses running both our ruling-class parties, Jews don't get stuck on stupid.

    Iron Dome was a slap in Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran's face.

    Let's hear what a TRUE American man, who has faced them TWICE, has to say about the 'famous IDF'.

    Enjoy.

    It's not fully effective.

    The US originally suggested something else, but no, whine, whine, whine, whine, they wanted the ID.

    And Obama obliged.

    Using the money of hard working Americans.

    A very expensive failure. The worst of all American taxpayer is most likely funding it.

    Just like the 1967 war, Israel will make a pre-emptive strike and destroy Hezbollah's arsenal before it gets off the ground. This was also done in the Suez War (1956), when Israel hit Egypt, destroying the army in the Sinai, as soon as Nasser made a deal to get Russian weapons. That set back the Egyptian military 11 years. Only a suicidal or foolish nation would think there is something wrong with a first strike.
