Yeah, cause that’s all Hizbollah and Hamas ever do, run an occasional donkey bomb out somewhere for a sick joke.
They also threaten to take out all ships in the Mediterranean under certain circumstances and claim that they can do it! So there’s your “balance of power” in truth.
Israeli war planes attacked two tunnels used by terrorists to bring in weapons to Gaza. They did not wantonly and randomly attack innocent people as the picture would have us think. Leave that to Hamas.
I’m surprised there’s no international uproar to prosecute the terrorists for needlessly killing an animal. Where the SPCA when you need them?
While this cartoon may not accurately reflect the recent incident, it seems to me that it is a very apt representation of the conflict as a whole over the past 10-50 years.
It’s amazing that after all these years people still take sides in this mess. I say send more planes, send more donkey bombs. Eventually they’ll decide enough blood has been spilled. If not, the problem will solve itself. Sounds cold, but enough is enough.
Yes, leerab78. In 1948 when the Jewish population in the newly formed state of Israel (as approved by the UN) was perhaps 500,000, tens of millions of Arabs surrounding Israel decided to attack. Today, there are perhaps 6 million Jews in Israel but hundreds of millions of Arabs surrounding them. A good portion of those Arabs would be happy to have no Jews in Israel and thus support terrorists to do their dirty work. It is not just Hamas/PA against Israel, it is the entire Arab world. Israel has been under attack from day 1, it is amazing that it survives.
You forget that the the Arabs told the Palestinians to come to their countries and that they would then wipe out the Jews and the Arabs would have all of Palestine back. Only it didn’t work out that way and the Arab nations such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc. instead of helping their Palestinian brethren let them rot in refugee camps, unlike the Jews of the world who pitched in to help their Jewish brethren in the Middle East. And, incidentally, some of the Jewish charitable organizations set up schools and vocational schools in Israel where they helped both Jewish and Arab children.
I’ve been watching a tv series, made after a book that was made after a tv series…The Accursed Kings.
Another story of how the world changed over the mating habits of a few of the rich, wealthy and powerful. It’s all history; it tells the beginning of the Hundred Years War, at first a silly feud over an old hag named Mahaut d’Artois and his young thug of a nephew, Robert d’Artois for a small patch of land now in Belgium called Artois;
In a nutshell; Mahaut marries two daughters to sons of king of France Philippe and Charles. Vengeful Robert exposes them and their cousin Marguerite, wife of the oldest son of the king, Louis, for adultery (a effin’ big deal back then…for women.) King dies, Louis takes his place. He needs an heir and for that needs to remarry, so he has Robert kill his wife in jail so he can marry an italian princess. Mahaut kills Louis, and then kills his infant son, so her son-in-law can inherit the throne. They instate a law prohibing women from reigning (still in use today). King Philippe dies, succeeded by his brother Charles, who doesn’t live long. The crown goes to his cousin, Philippe de Valois. Robert can’t get his patch of land, so he has Mahaut poisoned by her servant. Robert STILL can’t get his effin’ patch of land, so makes up false papers. He’s busted for it, so he flees to England where he coaxes young king Edwart III to invade France because he says he is a better king for France, since he is a direct Capetian through his mother and Philippe was just the nephew of a king…
Edward does invade France…and so begins the Hundred Years War!
In Israel, it’s been going on for sixty years and counting, over an even smaller patch of land, the Temple Mount, and won’t stop until one of their people is wiped out, and even after, maybe the fighting will go on, like the Hundred Years War after the death of Robert and Mahaut. They don’t care if the rest of the world collapses, everyone else can die, they are just an accessory in their fight. All they want is their patch of land.
All other nations, who believe in life more than they believe in the Apocalypse, should take their distances from both sides or they’ll be sucked into that war like in a wirlpool

Well… to be fair… they shouldn’t attack the superior power with a donkey bomb, then… .

lorax; ditto. Now that war is just another competition for our pitty. Many people like the Hamas more just because they are the underdog.
All that for a Temple…wait, a place where there USED to be a temple…and for the Rapture.
