I don't hate Israel. I do criticism it a fair bit - because they deserve to be criticized for some of the things they do.

Just like I criticize the US and Australia etc. Criticism, condemning things that should be condemned, doesn't = hate.

Oh and Hezbollah and Hamas who actually kill civilians as their specialty are the angles of peace? The Jewish people got Israel because of thousands of years of abuse with the Holocaust at it's worst. They get to bust a few heads.


I don't think "lots of wrongs make us right, no matter what" should be a tolerated attitude on the world stage. For anyone.

I question that as well. My last one got me banned for 30 days because I got embroiled in an argument with a religious nut who refused to believe that Palestinian oppression elsewhere wasn't so unless he was paying for it (and therefore didn't give a flying fuck) and then went on to say that Jews believe Jesus is boiling in a vat of excrement and says it is a good reason for hating Israel.

I honestly don't know what the world comes to sometimes. I also don't know why people seem to think that the Bedouins can't survive in the desert like they have done so for thousands of years without help from the Israeli government. Surely, they would know where there would be reliable sources of water in the event that the IDF does something stupid (which it tends to do so on a regular basis judging by the number of topics).


Because they never just "survived in the desert" - they aren't wizards, they had their established paths, their known water supplies etc which allowed them to survive.

And why would they know? Modernization, even the most minor stuff, affects survivalist capabilities in such environments and cultures. If they haven't had to be living that kind of life for some time they aren't going to be able to slip back into it like a comfortable pair of slippers.

But anyway - are you suggesting it is right for the IDF to drive the Bedouins back to the desert, just because they can theoretically "survive" there?

I wonder, why do people so commonly talk of Israel's (frankly idiotic) treatment of Bedouins but ignore Arab states treatment of them?


I don't, and plenty don't (I remember seeing them brought up alot in discussions on Libya, even before the fall of Gadaffi's regime etc).

But I dare say a couple of reasons - in this case it is off topic (except in a "but everyone's doing it!" kind of way) and people expect (rightly or wrongly) better from a democratic nation that portrays itself as a lot better than the repressive Arab states while also getting a lot of support and free passes from the west.

Don't you think an important step to peace would be for Israel to show the Arabs that it supports their right to self-governance and will no longer try to force them to suffer so Israel can enjoy a better life? Would a major part of this not be not controlling the West bank as a puppet state (even though, it really isn't as the PLO are well in command) and not encroaching on Palestinian land?

Why am I always the guy who has to argue the middle ground? What's more, why do I always do it alone?

Which is what I had already posted. Thanks for establishing that.

Now, where did I say it was fine for the IDF to drive them back into the desert? They already live in villages there in the Negev. The Israeli government doesn't recognise them however but allows them to live there. I'm surprised no one's going on about how the Israeli government has destroyed their culture simply because these Bedouins aren't nomadic like their ancestors were.

And besides, they leave each other alone most of the time. This is the first thing I have seen where the IDF or the government has done anything remotely major concerning said Bedouins. It's not like the government and the Palestinians who are constantly at each other's throats.

Yeah, those aren't civilians but foreign occupiers illegally occupying the Judea and Samaria Area. Of course the Israeli Defense Force has a full right to evict them to protect Israel's national integrity.

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?



Cell phones developed from US military portable radios, Modern drip irrigation began its development in Afghanistan in 1866.

Thats ironic when the majority of Israel's population are descended from European Immigrants that used terrorism to get their way during the British–Zionist conflict. Also how do a bunch of nomads in the middle of nowhere threaten the state of Israel so much that the military needs to steal their water?

1) Never in the course of human history has so much deliberately unsourced, untruthful and genuinely unpleasant bullshit about Palestine been broadcast to so many by so few.

They are civilians, Hippo, because they don't have guns or weapons of any kind and they're civilians. It's not difficult to identify them, it really isn't.

Palestine was inhabited for around 1300 years pre-al-Nakba by Palestinians, not Israelis, but after the Holocaust the people who would become Israelis sent the 'Mericans on a guilt trip and secured backing to occupy land that wasn't theirs in 1948 after a campaign of terrorism as despicable as anything Hamas have ever done.

2) It's officially called Palestine. I suggest you follow suit.

3) The IDF's (and Hippo's) perspective:

"Holy shit! There are nomads everywhere! If we don't evict them, they'll destroy Israel with their insidious neo-Nazi nomad plots! They'll poison the water or some shit like that, so let's steal all of it first!"

If Israel's territorial integrity is so vulnerable that nomads represent a grave threat to it, then Israel isn't really a viable state, is it?

You do realize that Israel did not exist in WWII to be made into a crater, I hope?
That it was the reaction to the Jewish people being exterminated and abused that actually caused the creation of Israel, much to the anger of the people who actually, you know, LIVED on the land that was taken to create it?

By the way... why does this make it impossible to be a Christian? just curious.

I. Your second thought, ignoring the 'never in....' flies in the face of everything America has learned since 2003. The Hezbollah(a primary reason for all the bulldozing), as far as we can tell, operates in a similar was as the Taliban or al-Qaeda; if it was easy to separate the bad from the good, we'd been out of Iraq and Afghanistan in 2004. And I can't speak for underground militant Zionists, but I'm really quite sure the new Israeli government would be so stupid as to be connected. Most Israelis condemned it actually, for what that matters.

II. Officially, we're still debating on where the atmosphere ends and space begins. There are some people who call it Palestine, some who call it part of Israel. The UN doesn't actually recognize the State of Palestine.

But saying, 'I suggest you follow suit' sounds more like an order. That's not taken very well here on the interweb.

III. That's an immature point of view. To anyone who writes like that, grow the fuck up. And it's not that goddamn black and white, people. You're ignoring about two thousand years of anti-Semitism, ever since the Romans. They have every right to be afraid, and frankly, all they're doing is being pro-active.

IIIb. Palestine isn't inhabited only by nomads. You forgot the Hezbollah. Again.

Not cool, Israel. So not cool.

However, I can see why they've stopped caring what the international community (aka the UN and related bodies) has to say about them, since said community has spent the last 40 years monomaniacally focussing on their blemishes, without examining their neighbours in the slightest. After all, when was the last time that Saudi Arabia was condemned by any organ of the UN for the appalling way the government in Riyadh treats the Shi'a minority in Eastern Saudi Arabia? When was the last time that the UN bothered to even note, far less deplore or take action about, the way the Coptic Christians are treated in Egypt, or the Maronite Christians in Lebanon? And yet, year after year, UN body after UN body focusses its attention of Israel, chiding them over their shabby treatment of the non-Jewish Israelis without bothering to do anything about the way that Israel's (Islamic) neighbours all do far worse things to their minority-group citizenry.

And the media is, ultimately, worse. After all, one might be forgiven for thinking that headlines depicting the massacres of Coptic Christian communities in Egypt might sell papers, yet the media continue to run with the "Israel is evil to Palestinians" line. They don't even have the typical media defense of "we're just in it to make bucks and sell papers".

I'm increasingly inclined to believe that it's a near-universal truth that to be the leader of a Middle Eastern country, one must demonstrate that one is a complete bastard by discriminating with great fervour and energy against one particular group. Even in Syria, once Assad (who I despise, by the way) has gone, I don't see life being fun for the Alawite minority. Israel has done awful things, but we shouldn't only look at that.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Is there an independent source confirming the fact?
Like not an Arab-government source. :P
