Well, later today the building has been destroyed because of IEDs threat. It seems the forces are implementing the lessons learnt (with blood) the past few weeks about entering buildings. This time the forces used Tank fire before they came in.

A severe suicide bombing took place today near Tzrifin army base, located 10 minutes drive from Tel-Aviv. This is a large base of non-combatant troops, and the attack took place in a bus station intetionally at around 17:30, when the place is crowded with soldiers on their way home. Many of these soldiers do not carry a personal weapon, and the suicide bomber was appearantly disguised as a soldier. So far there are 6 dead and dozens of wounded.

In Zrifin terror attack there are 7 dead and 3 fataly injured going through operation right now.

In Jerusalem - a terror attack in Bet Hillel Cafe. A lot of casualties, at least 5 are dead.

[hendrix33]

Think again, and rephrase.

[Spine]

OK, the IDF are a bunch of goons, hope Israel isn't there in 2048.

[hendrix33]

Well, hate to break the news for you then, because hope is all you've got on that, because we're here to stay.

Have a great day 'mate'.

[Spine]

I guess it was harsh of me, but I just feel both sides are behaving in a way that has to be stopped, by outside forces maybe. It seems the UN would be good for that, aside from the Israelis and UN not getting along too well since 1948.

I have nothing against the people of Israel, but it seems that under the Sharon government, things have gotten very bad over there. The facts are that almost 900 Israelis are dead, and 2600 Palestinians are dead, and I guess arguing over this is a waste of energy.

Palestinians need their own country, with the pre-67 borders and East Jerusalem, 'rooting out terror' will fail in the mean time.

Back to the pictures....

[hendrix33]

Spine:


Outside force is not a relevant solution. Especially not the UN who's lack of obectivity on this issue is enraging. Outside forces will never be a relevant solution. What would YOU think of an Israeli Armored division parked near your town?

Let's see: what's left?

Violence? Israel does not seek violence. The most commom word in the Hebrew language is SHALOM (Peace). We say it also as hello, also when picking up the phone, when we meet someone, when we say goodbye. It's in Israel's essence ever since it's establishment to achieve true peace. We've also succeded, in 76' with Egypt, and in 93' with Jordan.
So where is the violence comming from? Isael? Are WE targeting busses full of children?

What else? Peace prosses. Yeah. PM Ehud Barak offered arafat just about everything the palestinians want on Taba Talks, which was refused. We were up to a true dialouge with PM Abu Mazen, but arafat tripped him and made him resign.

Now say 'The IDF sucks', from your safe location, not having to serve 3 years of mandatory army service, not having to see funerals of friends before the got to be 20 years old.

I truly hope you'd never have to face sights like these:

And that you NEVER EVER, not even in your worst nightmares, have to see how your friend's mother refuses to let go of her son's grave after his funeral was over.

May peace come to us all, and soon.

i gotta take hendrix's side here. what would you like Israel to do? just sit back and get bombed everyday and not even try to eliminate the threats? the fact of the matter is that if the IDF didnt come down on these ppl then Israel would'nt even exist anymore. Palestine has been offered countless deals to have its own nation and have peace, but the fact of the matter is that they wont be satisfied until Israel doesnt exist anymore. everybod over there wants peace but if the Arabs/Palestinians dont stop bombing buses full of innocent people then the IDF wont stop coming down on them, and comin down hard. from way over here in America, i can say the IDF seems harsh, but they almost have to be if they care anything about their country, which they do...

Alot of the people dying there are relatively recent immigrants from other parts of the world who don't get along with each other religiously, so really, it's not the same as where I live.

People in that part of the world seem to think they have been promised pieces of land by a god of some kind, and that is the truly rediculous foundation of these troubles. It's almost impossible to solve because of this, and as a non-religious guy, I feel it's truly stupid that so many people are ripped to shreds on both sides over such illogical thinking...

Israel wants the Arabs from 1948 to leave, and they push them around sometimes to suit the Jewish plans for Arab lands. The only way for a population with no military to fight back seems to be terrorism.

What would you do if you were a Palestinian told to stay in your house for 5 months? Treated like total crap in your own land by a culture that doesn't like you except for labour? I'm not saying Israel shouldn't fight terror, but as a state, they shouldn't try so hard to ask for it. Settlers are a HUGE part of the problem here I think.

Maybe you wouldnt' bomb a bus full of children, but if you didn't fight the occupiers somehow, you'd be a pussy.

Like I said, back to the pictures...

Interesting look, with the riot gear and t-shirts.

'I guess it was harsh of me, but I just feel both sides are behaving in a way that has to be stopped, by outside forces maybe. It seems the UN would be good for that, aside from the Israelis and UN not getting along too well since 1948.'


'Maybe you wouldnt' bomb a bus full of children, but if you didn't fight the occupiers somehow, you'd be a pussy.'


allrite man, first you said that the behavior (i'm assuming you mean fighting) should be stopped. maybe by the UN. and then you go and say that if the Palestinians dont fight back then theyre 'pussys'. whats it gonna be? do you want the fighting to stop or should the Palestinians continue to blow themselves up in fear of being called 'pussys'?

[Spine]

I'm saying that standing up against an occupation that gives them less rights probably comes naturally, and that being angry with Israel is probably not too hard to imagine in their shoes.

If north american indians being killed off and driven into camps and reservations were to blow up a few civilian people when the north america was being settled, would you blame them? Would they be terrorists too? I know it's not the same, as many of the arabs as well as the jews weren't occupying 'Israel' before in the way the indians were, but on an ethnic level, it's similar. It's not as simple as "Israel good, terror bad".

I think the violence should be stopped, and some justice involved in the equation. Israel is not capable of giving equal justice to Palestinians at this point, so we need some REAL mediation. The UN probably won't do, but I don't know who is better for the job.

I don't have the solution, but I don't think either party involved there does either. Sharon and Arafat were both kicking around before Israel was a real country, and they are a huge part of the problem with solving this BS. You need younger and more moderate leaders on both sides for things to work, right now you have two psychopaths.

Well, that's the arab version, anyway.

Compairing the palestinian situation to the Indians is incredibly proposteus, so I won't even refer to that.

NO BODY want the Arabs to leave. There are hunderds of thousands of Israeli arab citizens, fully equal to Jewish citizens, with full parlamentry representation.

NO BODY likes to treat the palestinians like crap: If last week attempted assassination planner would've used MK-84 bombs instead of MK-82 bomb, the targets would've been out now. Why wasn't it used? Because no body wanted to inflict any collateral damage more than necessary. Even at the cost of not achieving the goal of the mission. Nobody likes curfews, nobody like checking posts. Give me a better way to stop busses from explodding which hasn't been tried.
One better way.

Another fundemental thing about the conflict you fail to grasp. I don't know how much they teach you about the Holocaust where you live. I'm not in the mood of giving history lessons on that either. My grandparents don't have any family, and not because of old age.
Bottom line: The reason for the Holocaust was the fact the jews had no country. That's the basis of the entire security and military doctrines: Israel cannot afford to loose a conflict.

Now the arabs, around half a billion of them, have vast resources, huge unoccupied lands, and finnance. Jews only have Israel.

Sharon and arafat? Objectively, arafat is the problem. Even white house says so. Don't go blaming Sharon for that.

One last thing: Settlements. I partly agree that some should be stopped. However, Israel IS a democratic nation, and as such it follows the will of majority. Can you say THAT on the other side of the conflict?

i gotta take hendrix's side here. what would you like Israel to do? just sit back and get bombed everyday and not even try to eliminate the threats? the fact of the matter is that if the IDF didnt come down on these ppl then Israel would'nt even exist anymore. Palestine has been offered countless deals to have its own nation and have peace, but the fact of the matter is that they wont be satisfied until Israel doesnt exist anymore. everybod over there wants peace but if the Arabs/Palestinians dont stop bombing buses full of innocent people then the IDF wont stop coming down on them, and comin down hard. from way over here in America, i can say the IDF seems harsh, but they almost have to be if they care anything about their country, which they do...


I hate to remind you of the fact that is ISRAEL who stated. THEY started taking more land. THEY put the palestinians into camps. THEY bulldoze palestinan houses, and build settlemsnts over them.

WRONG. The refugees camp were built to Palestinian by the Jordans. In 1994, Arafat got billions of dollar from US and Europe to put his people out of the camp into decent settlements. The money went for bombs against Jews and not for sewer-systems or anything constructive.

Not to mention that Palestinian refugees camps are exist all over the Arab world - including Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt. Did Israel built them too?

More than three million Palestinian refugees live in the 59 UN-operated refugee camps and surrounding areas. The largest number of refugees is in Jordan, with nearly 240,000 reported to be in camps and another 1.3 million living outside of the camps.

The UN also operates refugee camps in these regions (with their refugee populations):

Syria (383,000)
Gaza Strip (363,000)
Lebanon (376,500)
Saudi Arabia (275,000)
West Bank (132,000)
Iraq (90,000)
Egypt (40,500)
Libya (8,500)
Algeria (4,000)
Tunisia (300)

According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Palestinian refugees "are persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948, who lost both their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1949 Arab-Israeli conflict." UNRWA estimates the number of registered Palestinian refugees has grown from 914,000 in 1950 to more than 3.8 million in 2001, and keeps rising.

Israel took the Palestinians land in the first place. How would you feel. I can't comprehend the anger that must burn inside the Palestinians and then look at Israel determined to stay and take over and the killing continues and it will never stop and this site looks like a jewish propaghanda page and im getting sick of it so so more Israel and Palestine they're are all children unwilling to swallow their pride Jews think they are GODS people and Muslims think they have the only true god what the hell is wrong with the world I bet any person on the planet 100 billion dollars that peace in that area will never occur unless one side is utterly erradicated and what are the possibilities of that. I hate the world it offers no sollace for mans stupidity
