Rubbish. Israel is an ally. We have influence on them. Try influencing Libya or Syria.

If by any chance you think any of your posts are arguments against the validity of the cartoon I linked to, I can only laugh.

This is an accurate depiction of what happened:[/img]

The Jewish-Israeli conflict preceded Hamas by many decades. Try Haganah (1921), Irgun (1931) and Lehi (1940)

What an odd cartoon. It tries portray Israel, with its US backed army (4th largest in the World), as the little guy being stomped on by a barely functional, rag-tag group.

Very odd indeed.

You self justifying propaganda does not work in light of well known facts, like the way the Jews seized major portions of the Holy Land from 1948 on... a process that's still going on, I must say.

IN ZIonist, there is the same ZI as in Nazi.

Please, be specific.

What was the biggest example of land seizure?

Was an easy one. Whataboutism is not much of an argument. The source I took the stats from is a pro-Israeli site. One of its five listed projects is
Fighting the delegitimization of Israel
Also, this thread is about Israel. If Coito Two wants to discuss the virtues or lack thereof of Arab countries he can always start a thread about them. I hope he realises that is not a good idea to hold his breath until I sing songs of praise about them.

well, It might be a good idea to glass the whole of the Maghreb, Misr, near and middle east, but it might make recovering the oil there a mite difficult.

Plus that would include Kurdistan, and the Kurds are nice people.
