While meeting with Obama, Israel simultaneously approves more settlements in Jerusalem - Polidicks

[quote] AP) – The Jerusalem municipality has approved 20 new apartments for Jews in an Arab neighborhood of east Jerusalem, in a move that could stir a new diplomatic crisis with the US just as Israel's leader is in Washington on a fence-mending visit. The announcement marked the second time this month that Israel has announced new construction in the disputed section of the holy city during face-to-face meetings between top US and Israeli officials. The Obama administration is seeking "clarification" of the latest building plan and continues to believe Israeli construction in Jerusalem is destructive to the Mideast peace process. Israeli lawmaker Eitan Cabel accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of unnecessarily provoking the US. "Netanyahu decided to spit into Obama's eye, this time from up close. He and his pyromaniac ministers insist on setting the Middle East ablaze."[/quote] Source: [url]http://www.newser.com/story/84190/israel-oks-more-work-in-jerusalem.html[/url] We're the reason why Israel exists, we can also be the reason why it doesn't.

Why is Israel such...a terrible country

[QUOTE=w 1 z;20943779]We're the reason why Israel exists, we can also be the reason why it doesn't.[/QUOTE] We need Israel. Also, you can't really remove an entire country of people.

So when is the invasion planned?

With a push of a button we could turn their nation into glass. Granted it would probably break out into World War 3... and the utter destruction of all life on the planet Earth, But hey! We all had our laughs right?

Half of the people that post in these topics about Israel don't even know its history or current affairs.

[QUOTE=TH89;20943835]We need Israel. Also, you can't really remove an entire country of people.[/QUOTE] We already moved a entire country of people. Where do you think the people who lived in Isreal before it became Isreal were moved.

I hope the Jews kill all the Arabs there. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism, genocidal" - TH89))[/highlight]

Plus there are some genuine people who hate Israel aswell, yet live in Israel themselves. [sp]me[/sp] And the arabs will get killed as well if we nuke it. Basically, Israel is a shithole and nobody can do a lot about it.

They just keep pushing it don't they? The thing that pisses me off is that no one can't really do anything about it.

[QUOTE=TH89;20943835]We need Israel.[/QUOTE] Why? Jewish people don't need their own country. All Israel seems to do is terrorize everyone else.

Ach, Netanyahu's thugs in Israel's government really aren't helping matters.

If Hillary didn't pussy out after trying to play hardball when they did the same thing while Biden was meeting with Israel, then they might not have pulled this, but now they know that US won't do shit and they can do whatever the fuck they want [editline]08:11PM[/editline] Netanyahu spat in Obama's eye because he knew he can get away with it

ITT: people are like "HELL YEAH LETS NUKE ISRAEL" but they're forgetting it's a good country with honest people, and nuking 11 million or so people because 1 million hate Arabia is a shitty idea. Say, for example, 2% of the people in New York City think blacks are evil and should be wiped out. Should we nuke New York to kill that 2%? Though I support Israel regardless, I think they are pushing things a bit too far. But still, just about every nation in history's done with Israel's doing now, and it seems like people are hating on Israel just to bandwaggon.

It has a major border with Egypt. Egypt being in Africa is usually not considered part of the middle east. If anything it's in the western corner of the middle east. Also if I'm not mistaken, the USA has good relations with Turkey. I believe an air base is situated there. [editline]07:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;20945468]You people are so damn insensitive.

For every Israeli that dies, 3 Palestinians die. Israel also demolishes their houses for no good reason, ie to make a tourist centre. And they have one of the most powerful and advanced armies in the region.

[QUOTE=TH89;20943835]We need Israel. Also, you can't really remove an entire country of people.[/QUOTE] H-hey! That's how Israel was made in the first place!

I know Israel is america's pal in the region because of weapon systems, its westernized, has a bunch of politically active fans in the u.s. and pretty much is the only place we can relate to in the area ( or really one of the few who like us ) But pushing into someone else's land is just messed up, and deserves the retaliation which results.

You guys realize that Israel is a nuclear power right? Thats like saying to Iran, 'Launch your nukes now before we do it first'

I don't get all this hypothesizing about nuclear weaponry anyway. It took a hell of a lot to make us deploy nuclear weapons before, and it would take quite a bit more to make it happen again.
