Lebanon is currently dominated by Islam.

In Islam, you support another follower of Allah before anyone else. Regardless of any other circumstances.

Israel should look at the Roman Empire.
Its was thought to be the most powerful,unstoppable enity of its time.
And who would have thought it would ever collapse.

Israel is no Rome,but lessons can be applied to it all the same.

Rome collapsed due to the amount of enemies it created,and not being able to defend itself on so many fronts.

Sparta also fell victim to the same problem,too many enemies and not enough people to fight the wars.

So Israel shouldnt be so anxious to take on so many countries at once.
History warns against that.

YEah.. but.
ROME wasn't backed by the U.S of A and Nuclear Weapons

The main thing to take away from this is that was reported on PRESSTV!!!! Not exactly the most reliable source out there...kinda like an online version of The Enquirer.

Im sorry, i'll have to see this reported in a lot more places than just PRESSTV in order to establish any kind of credibility.

I take the view that PressTV is the counterpoint to zionist media like Faux. All you need to do is mix a little of each, shake vigorously, let it sit for five minutes and allow for the truth to rise to the top.

More often than not, PressTV out preforms Faux News.

Oh dear what are we to do, those nasty Arabs and Muslims are trying to protect themselves again. I know what we do is let Irseal attack them then the United Facist States of America and its pal the UK can come and join the party. Then we will have the axis of evil taking on those horrrible people who live in the ME and want nothing more to kill us all.

Sorry I was just reading Faux news and got carried away. Its nice to see people here cheeering for war and more death and destruction. And America will do what, other than tell the Israelis to keep a grip on it America is not in a position to do that much at all. Those who gleefully chant for war and nukes flying better not wish too hard as the nukes might be flying in their direction and they wont be cheering then.

No it is sad indeed that the perps who are running the show are making their next move and as usual using someone else to do the dirty work. In this case Israel. After sacrificing the Jews to Hitler in ww2 the perps are now doing the same in the ME. They dont give a dam to how many are killed bey they Jewish, Christian or Muslim. All they are concerned about is their objective and getting to it.

But people should not wish for war, this may be one that could affect us all and where will the cheering be then.

Zombie, yes and ATS is all about denying ignorance and as you can see with the Gazan Genocide Ats has been hit by a tidal wave of ignorance.

Does this not sound like the unfolding of a premeditated and preplanned script?
I wonder who all has a copy? I'll bet the roles of Russia and all the major players have been laid out in detail and all of them are set and ready to go.

We the poor bastards who will pay the price are now in for the slaughter.

Anyone know of a good underground city to hide out in for a few years? Who do you have to bribe?

This is what i thought would happen. After a ``massive victory`` against Hamas, and thinking that the IDF ``learned their lessons from the 06 war`` and of course before the israeli elections, at the very least Ehud Olmert is prepared for another war to stay in power.

Barak wanted a 2 days humanitarian peace in Gaza. Ehud don't want it.

We'll see what happens.

Come to think of it, it's actually been a while since Syria went running back home in panic, with their tails between their legs.

Surely there has been a couple generations since, who have no fear of the Israelis. Who can't remember. Who never experienced that terror, even as Israeli forces were just outside Damascus.

Oh well! Boys will be boys!

One would think that losing would get old, that getting killed would become anathema, and that this aggressive stance against Israel would die out.

Apparently not.

So, for our next lesson . . .

And all the while, they are very close to a Gaza peace deal right now. I doubt Israel is about to Invade Lebanon while they sign a peace agreement with Hamas. It just doesnt work that way. Sometimes you gotta ignore bogus news sources like PRESSTV and just look at the whats going on.

Mark my words, there will be NO invasion of Lebanon i promise. Entertaining thread nonetheless and fun to see the paranoid contemplate WW3....again.

Calling this war that HAMAS started "Genocide" is the highest form of ignorance.
BTW, the sea of glass option is always on the table as a response. If Iran gets a nuke the possibillity of a response exists, if they aren't allowed to get one there is no option on the table.

Israel doesn't have that problem From what I've read, of the 7 million people in Israel, 3 million are on active reserve. That's a BIG army.

Edit: Further research says 600,000 reservists(can be activated in 72 hours). Depending on who you take the info from that's still a large army.

Big armies require big amounts of food and supplies to sustain itself. Anti-Israel sentiment is growing in the world and if the U.S. someday stops supporting Israel then a collapse would quickly follow.
