If you're an American citizen reading this, please note the following acts of Hezbollah, as outlined in the linked article:
The USS Liberty Veterans Association has filed a formal
Report with the Department of Defense
of War Crimes Committed Against U.S. Military Personnel on June 8, 1967,
by elements of the Israeli military forces.
"Attack one American and you attack all Americans" was once proclaimed by President Clinton. More recently, an Assistant Secretary for State proclaimed that the U. S. government always protects its citizens. These are damned lies and meaningless words. These words were not true in 1967 (when Israel deliberately attacked the USS LIBERTY,) and unfortunately, and in spite of these beautiful words, they are not even true today. Moreover, there is no such thing as justice.
"We had been surveilled all morning and part of the afternoon by Israeli forces. They knew who we were. We heard them reporting over radio who we were and how we were sailing and where we were sailing. They saw the flag and everything else. We were in international waters."

It is really sad.... History repeats itself.... I guess europe learned diddly squat the first time around.
Did Hezbollah bomb the Marine barracks in 1983?
Absolutely, Why? Go find out.
You have no clue Xphiles and no right to call people Nazi wanabee's because they disagree with the Israeli goverments actions.
You and everyone else who thinks there is any posible excuse for killing civilians by the bucketloads and even any excuse for war, you are the Nazi wanabee's, in love with death and destruction of whatever doesn't comform with the way you want the world to be.
Do you usually justify murder in most cases, or are you just making an exception in these cases?

You would think these heinous evil Jewish conspirators... did I forget blood drinking again... damn... I always do that! would have carved out a slightly bigger piece of land than that tiniest of slivers called 'Israel'.
Next argument please...
"They are a bunch of Zionists. Where have they come from? As you know, the rule of hegemony and the web of colonialism strived to establish a base in the heart of the Middle East.
A hundred years ago, they began to devise conspiracies on the basis of a diabolical plan. Bit by bit they arrived, and backed by the devious, deceiving England, they sneaked people in, and placed them in control over the people of Palestine.
Sixty years ago, by means of a highly complex plan involving psychology, politics, and propaganda, and by means of weapons, they managed to establish a false regime in the heart of the Middle East.
At first they claimed: 'Since some of those [Jews] lost their families in World War II, and were killed by the German government, we must give them a land.'
They expelled more than five million Palestinians from their homes with weapons and with oppression.
They gathered people from all over the world, and imposed them here. Our question was: 'If these people were harmed in Europe, why do you want to compensate them out of the pockets of the people of Palestine, and with their honor and their land?' Then they claimed that these are people whose forefathers had lived in this land 2,500 years ago..."
How to explain Zionism, to everyone
Explaining Zionism
Presenting Zionism and Israel
Be Proud. Don't be afraid to say that you support Israel and that you are a Zionist, but always be careful to explain that 'Zionism' may not be what your audience may think it is.
You are a Zionist. You are not Zionism. Always be clear to separate between your opinions and personal ideas from Zionism.
Remember the audience. You don't need to convince committed Zionists. Arguments that may be "convincing" to you, don't necessarily carry weight with those of other faiths and backgrounds. You aren't going to convince members of the Aryan Nation or the Hamas either, so there is no point arguing directly with them.
Don't be negative. For example, there is no constructive purpose in saying, "There are no Palestinians." It antagonizes people and it is not a tenet of Zionism. Even if you could prove that there are no Palestinians, it would not lend any legitimacy to Zionism.
Avoid dubious claims and inconsequential issues. If you say "there were no Arabs in Palestine before the Jews came" and someone proves that there were, you lost the argument. If you say "Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE" someone will (and has) pointed out that there was no kingdom of Israel before about 800 BCE, and that nobody could possibly be sure about the precise year when the Jews formed a nation. The right of the Jewish people to self-determination does not depend on whether or not there were Arabs in Palestine, when Israel became a nation, the vagaries of the Ottoman census, the relation between Khazars and Ashkenazi Jews or whether there was a Jewish majority in Jerusalem in 1870 or 1844, nor even on who shot Muhamed Al-Dura.
You don't need to defend everything Israel does. If you insist that Israel can do no wrong, you will lose the dispute, since no country is perfect. Germany killed six million Jews and started two wars, the United States killed Indians and dropped two atom bombs, China suppresses free discussion and occupies Tibet (possibly the longest occupation in the world), the French committed atrocities in Algeria. All of these countries have a right to exist, and so does Israel.
Refer to common values that are respected by everyone - The Jews are a people and have a right to self-determination. Israel promotes democracy, and human rights, including rights of women, gays and other minorities.
Don't use language or rhetoric that angers people needlessly - Zionism is for Republicans and Democrats, leftists and rightists, religious people and atheists. There are Muslim supporters of Israel too. It is pointless and self-destructive to attack "leftists" or "Muslims" or non-observant Jews as a group. It is usually not helpful to say that "God gave Israel to the Jews." After all, fanatic Islamists say "Allah gave Palestine to the Muslims." Most people do not accept that a state can be founded to support a particular religion, or that religious claims provide a legal basis for nationhood or sovereignty over particular lands.

It was more about people talking about things like Zionist world domination... And then of course the inevitable chants of Zionists! Zionists! Zionists!

I've yet to see the explanation resolving how the Zionists are pulling all of the hidden strings in the world, yet seem to only have such a tiny, tiny, tiny piece of the globe.
As an interesting aside... Don't you think it would be INTERESTING to see the rankings of the countries that make up our global community and their respective percentages of the land mass, heh Subz?
Subz... Your a subject matter expert... Help me out brother.
