Israeli "Operation Cloud Pillar" 2012

[Tyrants]

No, not really. Every time I look at a thread like this, or I check the comments of some news article, it is filled with foreigners who have no fucking clue as to how this region works, both in terms of history and current events.

Don't pay much attention to them,"it's easy to to be brave behind a castle wall" as a Welsh proverb says.

How are things escalating? Did the IDF enter Gaza yet?

They kinda aren't. A ceasefire was declared.

[Divair]

Visiting is a good way to learn about how this place works. Great place to visit, horrible place to live.

Foreigners who are willing to learn are cool, foreigners who aren't and just assume they know everything about what is going on are not

Well I was thinking of going to work on a kibbutz this summer if I can't get a gig in Africa or find somewhere here in the UK. If not this summer, then probably within the next five or so, before my current passport expires and I'm unable to go to some other countries I'd like to visit.

I'm not a big fan of the kibbutzim, but they are supposedly a great place for foreigners to learn about some of the older history of the region.

[Souseiseki]

woah that's ironic

why?

wales. castles. england.

e: oh, hmm, now i;'m thinking of it an entirely differen context! oh!!!!

going there this Summer, rocket fire or no rocket fire.

Good. Maybe it'll change your views.

A ceasefire was reached.

That's nice,over here nothing is told about the situation in Gaza.

I visited Syria back in 09 and then Iran a Year ago; I have returned to the Region for recreational Activities.

Never going back to Iraq though, Might return to Afganistan one day but not until it's a bit more stable.

I loved visiting Persia, that place reeks of History and soaked in all the Anicient sites and even visited a few old temples just like i did back in Turkey Antioch is a lovely place to visit if you like seeing classical persian Masonry.

ah,yes

..I thought you were speaking about what's happening in Gaza.

That's my main reason for wanting to go to one. If there are other summer jobs in Israel for foreigners then I'd consider that as well. Would probably get more free time and money out of it.

Could always try finding something related to tourism. Always need more fluent English speakers.

Mhm, all places I'd love to visit. I'd like to visit Mecca one day, but considering there policy on non-Muslims.....perhaps I could be a Muslim for a week.

That'd be fun. Thanks for the tip.

I kneeled before Mecca once in Prayer along with I don't know how many thousands.

I adopted Muslim tradition for the time spent in Iran just because it made transition easier, Interesting system of beliefs they have their although i did not take a picture of it due to Photography not really being encouraged but i did buy a small replica of the Tomb of the Prophet i put it up with My Grand Father's rifle, My marksmens patch and My bust of Cornelious Drebel.

I got a few more nicknacks from Iran but the good stuff? Got that in Syria you would not think but the place is lively with information, Old books espeically. I was able to secure a fairly well preserved but dated version of the Korran, the old testment and new testment. (I read the texts during long flights) I also got a love of Water pipe from Syria but that habit did not follow me home.

Man i could talk about my Month in Syria or the two weeks in Iran for a while though and i don't want to eat up anymore of the thread talking about my vacations of past.

Oh and if you were wondering when i visited saudi arabia it was a Long time ago in 2002

I figured that question might come up since i mentioned Mecca

No wait, Israel says no deal until 24 hours of no rockets flying.

i hope they don't end up going "no, you have only reduced rockets by 99% not 100%" if this actually goes along

Seems a ceasefire is imminent. I wonder how long it'll last. Probably until right after the election so it can be someone elses problem.

Two weeks, maybe three. Like all of the other ceasefires.

didn't one kinda reach 5-6 months?

[Divair]

5-6 months?

Unlikely. Maybe if Hamas wants to really build up their stockpile to enormous levels, but I doubt they'll wait that long. Just lets us get more Iron Domes operational.

It just hit me that you're right there in Israel. Hello.

That took a while.

Good. Maybe it'll change your views.

It will probably make them STRONGER. Is it fair that there is only 1 entrance into the Dome on the Rock for Jews and non Muslims whereas there are 7 for Muslims? No. We need a stronger Israel.

"The Israeli police help enforce this."

i don't think a stronger israel would help you with that

"We"? I'm sorry, when did you become part of us? No, you're just like most foreigners. Not a single fucking clue as to how this region operates, both in terms of history and current events.


I expected better from NSG.
