Israeli Defense Forces steal water supplies from civilians

Postby United Aryan Asian Alliance » Thu Jul 19, 2012 7:02 pm

These rocky foothills are a forbidding place even for the scattered Bedouin communities that have herded livestock here for generations. Yet it is not the summer heat that is threatening their way of life.

Last month, Israeli soldiers began confiscating water-storage containers used by Bedouin in several pastoral encampments on the northern fringes of the West Bank's Jordan Valley area.

No explanation was given to the dozens of impoverished residents, who have since been rationing their already scarce water supplies and tending to thirsty livestock.

But no explanation was needed. Many here see the confiscations as the latest Israeli tactic to put pressure on Bedouin and Palestinian residents to leave this resource-rich area.


Why did the state of Israel deploy it's military to steal water from a group of non combatants? Who far will this uniformed bullying go?

I just realised that my attitude toward Israel is a lot like my attitude to North Korea.

Well, Israel isn't quite THAT bad. Israel is a rare example of a modern Liberal Democracy which has institutional discrimination.

And? By this point Israel has stopped giving a shit because it know's whatever it does it will receive a UN sternly written note (all because of an old alliance of Communist and Islamic states to defeat the Democratic powers hold over the UN) and quite frankly, they could do a lot worse. The Bedouins can still import water from other areas of the west bank

Did you know that at temperatures exceeding several thousand degrees Celsius, bricks melt? So much for their supposed "heat resistance."

America can't protect Israel from the consequences of all their actions, but they certainly do their best. They wouldn't be able to maintain the settlements without it.

What would happen? Most (and by that I mean every) countries like people buying their weapons, an American gun kills just as well as a Belgian or a French gun. Plus, the IDF is superior in training, equipment, and tactics then any other army in the middle east (who's only advantage is numbers) and they have nukes, if anything the US is holding them back by telling them to calm the fuck down all the time

Without American backup, we might actually see some punishment applied - or at least condemnation, since you may have noticed that the rate of resolutions against Israel dried up rapidly in recent years, only appearing for things like "Israel probably shouldn't be sending troops into other countries without permission." America was also the driving force preventing the UN recognition of Palestinian statehood, which would have been a major step towards ending the abuse of the Palestinian population.

As for all the other stuff you've implied, like the possibility of Israel nuking Mecca or something, it's not going to happen - the Israelis in general are quite reasonable, but the current government is maintaining power by pandering to the ultra-right-wing, who demand the continuation of things like settlement-building. There's not much popular support for anything blatantly insane or murderous.

Maybe, but look at White-ruled South Africa for a minute, how long did they last under the full force of International ire? 50-40 years? They only fell because the people who benefited from it didn't even want it. Israel is ruled by a bunch of nuts at the moment, who believe that they have the goodwill of God behind them, they won't fall that easily.

And I wasn't implying then use the nukes at all, they're more effective in their silo's, no nation would commit not only nation suicide but the destruction of all of their religious holy places (even possibly rendering Islams extinction, after all if they can't make a pilgrimage to Mecca..) then the sheer threat alone will make it so the enemy would think twice

You mean like nuclear deterrence?
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

It's becoming impossible to have any ties to the Christian faith because of shit like this...

I'm sorry, but Fuck Israel - Let them get exterminated. They ain't done nothing for anyone, as far as I'm concerned (especially if those who I'm talking about ARE Americans!). America doesn't need them helping them. They and their bullshit religion need to crawl back to Hell and have those who worship it dragged there in tow with it!

I'm not trying to say Germany should've made that nation a burning crater to Hell back when they had the chance in WW2 or anything, but it's times like this where I feel otherwise...

And for the record, I know just how evil and wrong all of this sounds. Still, Fuck Israel! Let them all be shot, killed, and gassed! That is all.

Exactly, actually using a nuke is retarded, more beneficial to use it as a deterrence

Especially when most people would agree with me it's the Jews fault the nation i live in, America, sucks due to them fucking it up with us having to at their beck and call for their own BS and doing nothing in return to improve things we common folk need (Education, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Technology/Science, Economy - because those pigs are so damn good with money, right?!)

Humph! FUCK THEM. America needs Israel like it needs Conservatism/Republicans of any kind...

So...
Israel, according to you, hasn't invented any of the following?
-Cellphones
-Instant Messaging
-USB flashdrive
-Drip Irrigation systems (which have improved the lives of millions of people)

I'm also pretty sure that millions of people, if not billions, use these things daily around the world. Especially in the United States.

So...tell me again about how Israel hasn't done anything for the world?
