Hamlet, it is better to erect a couple of nuke stations near place you live in rather than resettle dispersed so-called Palestinians: Jews used to institutional discrimination as Muslims are pushing their values too aggressively recently.

Boaz, with all due respects, mate, the Israelis overdid their welcome back to their so-called homeland after their unspeakable agonies under the Nazi holocaust - by illegally
going militarily nuclear.

If the Middle East turns into an inferno caused by an attack on Iran, Israel will get the blame. Or rather America plus Israel will suffer the blame most for poorly thought out foreign policy back in the late 1970s.

The major problem Boaz, is though Israel has suffered so much - in military sentiment she has become almost as right-wing as the Nazis she suffered under.

Mubarek of Egypt was certainly spot on when he said that the main problem with the Middle East right now, is still Western intrusion and injustice.

Most political philosophers and social scientists agree with Mubarek, and until our public listens more to academics who rely on scientific reasoning rather than religous faith, our world will be in trouble.

To be sure St Thomas Aquinas was forthright when he agreed to the earthly heavenly mix eventually bringing on the Age of Reason. However, because we seem to be slipping back, it seems we have never really learnt from the Age of Enlightenment.

-“as Muslims are pushing their values too aggressively recently”
Michael it is not a recent phenomena -it’s been going on for generations The only thing recent has been the west’s wake up to it -though some have still not cottoned-on.

Did you get to the documentary re Hezbullah on SBS some weeks back?
There is nothing closer to Nuremburg 1938 than Hezbullah 2007
Media control, education control , no opposition - & a reward in the after life if you do as you’re told.Hitler & Stalin would have given their right arm for such.

-“Mubarek of Egypt was certainly spot on when he said that the main problem with the Middle East right now, is still Western intrusion and injustice“
The main problem in the middle east is the closed one -eyed nature of their societies.Everyone is to blame but themselves -and they never acknowledge their own on-going injustices.

Horus,

9/11 is anyway not a sound alarm to too many native Westerners, surely.

Horus, Israel would have done much better both for itself and the rest of the world if the Jews had all moved into the different areas of today's Western world.

One finds it hard to admit but the Israelies are possibly too intellectual to fit in with an islamic dominated Middle East__

Bushbred,

Everyone knows this simple fact, especially Mubarek:
No nukes --> No Israel.

Israel's nuclear weapons are not for using them - they exist (if indeed they do) in order to never have to use them. Israel has proven over 40 years that it has no intention of using those nuclear weapons, and will indeed continue not to use them. There is nothing illegal about it either, since Israel never signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

Israel should not get involved with Iran: Iran is a global threat rather than Israel's private business, but Israel had its nuclear weapons long before the current crisis - in fact while Israel and Iran were still best friends.

Living in the midst of 100-millions hostile Arabs/Moslems, having 10,000's missiles with chemical warheads pointing at Israel from Syria alone, Israel's nuclear weapons are there to stay, forever, rain or shine, in peace or in war. No peace-lover should be concerned about it.

Did you know that the person who fathered Israel's nuclear project is Shimon Peres - a constant peace activist and winner of the Nobel Peace prize? It is those weapons that can bring and sustain peace, it is only those weapons that may allow Israel to safely withdraw back to its own 1967 borders.
