[quote:Ashton's Succulent Volvo 3199014:MV8yMDUwOTE0XzM0NjUwMjQ2XzY2NUM5N0I=] [quote:ISO:MV8yMDUwOTE0XzM0NjQ3NzUzX0M5NjhERjU3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 27652209:MV8yMDUwOTE0XzM0NjQ3NTkzXzY2NTk0NDM1] I think doom is still on... Israel only agreed to the truce (via Clinton and Netenyahu) on the terms that America would supply them with more munitions and missiles ASAP... Why would they want to stockpile even more deadly weapons unless they planned on staging another attack/full on invasion soon? [/quote] Let's not kid ourselves. Israel's future is very bleak from where I see things. Try this on for size: The only reason the IDF didn't go into Gaza is because Obama told Netanyahu that future Iron Dome rollouts depend on Netanyahu doing what Obama asks of him. So the USA will provide defensive assets, but they will not allow Israel to kick ass when necessary. The USA controls Israel, and is holding them hostage. Israel has some very tough decisions to make about its future right now. The USA has become an enemy with a friendly face. The Israeli people need to decide if it's worth it. They have no self determination because the USA has PURCHASED them via military dependency. Obama's goal is to have Israel destroyed by others while making it look like he helped them. He did a sickeningly brilliant job of playing both sides of the fence here didn't he? Israel is fucked. They might as well just assimilate into the rest of the world and let Europe deal with the problem of violent Islam. [/quote] Honestly, ISO, you're pretty smart guy/girl. I know you're frustrated, but do you believe HALF the things you type out? 1) Yes, Obama has Bibi by the balls. But guess what? So does Bibi! Ok, after the US Election has passed, Bibi's grip may not be near as vice-like.... but point still stands. 2) Let's get real here: this is for all those retards who always boasted about how "Israel doesn't need US anymore" ---- oh yes Israel does! And it's not just the Military aid, which actually is negligible considering that 3/4 of it is contractually obligated to be spent inside the US thus crating jobs..... However, US Veto in UN Security Council alone is worth its weight in gold-encrusted, alien-origin tungstein-platinum! And then there is the INTANGIBLY/SYMBOLIC benefits Israel gets by mere associationn with world's only superpowr, as well as the explicit CREDIT GUARANTEE US has provided Israel during difficult economic times in the past..... 3) Here's another thing: Israelis like all "Westerners" swing wildly from one extreme to the other. First they are hibernating for 20 years while Shimon Peres, Aharon Barak, Doris Beinish, Ehud Olmert and other "Peaceniks" all but hi-jacked the country! THEN, when all those fallacious, borderline treasonous Left-wing policies including bringin Arafat's gang back, the surrender of South Lebanon & Gaza in exchange for nothing....well, only when 1000 rockets are raining on their heads to Israel public suddenly WAKE-UP and start looking for scape-goats! And since Left-wingers are so shameless they will never admit their errors and instead double-down on their Lala Land promises ------ who else is there for Israelis to knee-jerk blame? Oh yes, Benjamin Netanyahu. Cuz, you see, he's not cool or compliant enough for the hoity-toity circles in Tel Aviv, Washington DC, London, Paris or Brussels. Bibi doesn't want to be a "Good Little Jew" and do fun party tricks for George Sors and Co. So the Israeli public instinctively projects their frustration on Netanyahu. All while on the OTHER aside of the political spectrum, far-Right wing Israelis are all but calling Netanyahu a traitor because he didn't want to carpet-bomb Gaza for negligible strategic gains. Stupid, silly Israelis.... *Sigh* 4) It's NOT about Iron Dome (blackmail by Obama). Iron Dome is Iasraeli technology. Sure America's foreign military assistence goes a long way toward helping complete it in record-short period of time... but really, Israel's annual Military budget is like 50 billion shekels, so worst comes the worst, Israel can manage without American. No the issue is elsewhere: as I mentioned in my previous 18-point post, Bibi is playing a very SOPHISTICATED 3-D Chess game. Obama's wishes is only a part of the puzzle, however important. In fact, Bibi is USING Obama as a shield in setting up a cease-fire & gaining some measure of supervision over those infernal smuggling tunnels via Obama's proxy, Morsi. 5) Now regarding Israel's "bleak" future.... please put down Thomas Friedman and Rashid Khalidi. Wishful thinking. I am not saying Israel is not facing major challenges, but really how of little faith be thee? LOL, did Jews give up when Germans bombed Pearl Habour- - or was it the other way around? Did Jews give up during the 2,000 year Exile, massacres, pogroms, mass-rape and forced assimilation? The Holocaust, Oh my Hod the Holocaust alone would have finished any other nation/people... the War of Independence fought with nothing more than sticks and stones and an occasional smuggled Chech Cessna, against huge British trained & equiped armies... even before the 6 Day War noone believed Iasrael could survive not even Lyndon Johnson administration or the French so-called allies of Israel.... YKW Moshe Dayan was pissing down his pantalones OMG it's all over, the Temple has fallen..... then there were all those Soviet-sponsored UN resolutions, all that terror by Fedayyun, then by socialist Pali terror groups, then by Jihadi Pali terror groups....1st Lebanon war... 1st Intifada....a weak Socialist-oriented economy.... 2nd alya, Shamir begging Bush Sr. for 10 billion dollars in loan guarantees just for Israel to make ends meet.....Rabin's assassination, scores of suicide bombings & shootings by Hamas, Hezbollah, culminating in the most cruel, disgusting 2nd Intifada aka The Oslo War ironically launched by Arafat after Ehud Barak essentially gave him everything he wanted at Camp David--- another economic collpase.... the National Identity Crisis as 10,000 "settlers" were torn out of Gaza by their fellow Jews like they were sick dogs.... compltely unprepared for 2nd Lebanon war... The Goldstone blood libel........ And you want to give up NOW, when historically speaking, it has never been EASIER to be a Jew or Israeli, when its new High-tech economy has shown surprising resiliency in the face of the Global Financial Crisis? You want to give up now that Israel has found a ton of shale oil & off-shore gas? Even the so-called "Demographic Threat" has been over-stated --- Jewish births are up, Arab births are down. Once a new generation of Palestinian women has broken the ytoke of male domination at least a little & discover the wonders of Birth-control, morning-after pill ----> you'll start to see reversal. (Hell, with in-vitro new technologies, worst comes the worst, if the demographics don't look good...in the future Israel would be able to FARM the Jewish babies by 100,000 in special labs, provided by then the oil revenues allow Israel to afford such projects....but I digress) Take a chill pill, in other words. Live life and have fun. Rock and -- how to say it in English? Ah yes -- roll. [/quote]
