why would it? israel counts on instability to weaken parties like hezbollah and hamas. the longer these parties avoid heavy and direct conflict, the stronger they will become. israel wouldn't want that.

this is a valuable comment which bonam has tried to avoid dealing with. but anyway: Hezbollah chief Nasrallah: There won't be a civil war in Lebanon haaretz

there is no question that the usual republicans and tea party member engages in aggressive and irresponsible rhetoric, but to blame the shooting on them is weak. the man is certainly ill to have done this but it was his decision to kill. people say a lot of shit out there and we are responsible for how we interpret and react to them.

it's not a big deal. coalitions pull out and governments fall all the time. such as in the example i gave above. stop being such a drama queen by pretending that it's something out of the ordinary. reading the official meaning, i'm quite comfortable with the usage and timing of the word. the meaning suits you quite well. lol. wtf? stfu. speaking of debating skills, can you cut it out with the lame antisemite card? just quit it you melodramatic child. yes. the same israel that refused to participate and cooperate with the un fact finding mission led by the internationally respected international law expert and the self-hating zionist, richard golstone. the same israel that refused to accept the report and to follow up on its recommendations to allow an internationally led investigation. so what's your point? israel refuses to cooperate with any of them. much like hezbollah refuses to do so here. wow. you're just so done bonam. i think it's time for dogonporch to jump in here with a youtube video of the grand mufti.

Barak is an old hand at this game. During Netanyahu's first tenure as prime minister, Barak used then president Bill Clinton to bring down Netanyahu's government and get himself elected in his place. link stop being so melodramatic bonam. this is not about hezbollah bringing down the government. this is about hezbollah being afraid and refusing to be investigated by the united nations. this is also about you and the rest of the vermin here being a hypocrite and defending israel's refusal to be investigated, while screaming and crying foul when hezbollah does it.

2 seconds of my time. what's the most you've lost in accepting and speaking the truth?

what? israel should never be used in these equations, you antisemite.

although i don't fully agree with everything you say, i do appreciate the comments you've made about this not being so black and white. it's also refreshing to see that you've commented on israel's role in the conflict. one of the major hurdles is for all sides to look within and accept the responsibility and the role of each side that continues to fan the flames. one thing that is evident in this long conflict is that extremism is not going to solve the issue.

hezbolla is just about as bad as their enemy: the truth has no place in their world. the truth is whatever they deem it to be, and should you contradict that truth, you will pay. in the case of their enemy, they brand you antisemitic and your reputation precedes and silences your voice. hezbolla's strategy is simpler: they simply threaten to kill you, and then they do it. the hariri family has paid. father and son. one lost his life for standing up to syria, the other lost his government for standing up to hezbolla.

don't lie. only israel recognizes israel's annexation of east jerusalem (unless the great state of micronesia sided with israel's violation of international law). the rest of the world, including u.s. and canada do not recognize israel's annexation of east jerusalem. you're such a poof. the 1967 border is what most of the world recognizes. it's only the extremists such as the israeli government and ahmadinejad who do not.

no shit it is. i'm sure this will get plenty of airtime. i wonder if the kids getting shot by IDF soldiers because they're looking for scraps in their own land will get any air time.

oh shut up and support this move 100% instead of giving excuses. is this the type of argument you would have made when black kids were given permission to attend public schools? "these black kids would be in danger of being attacked and ridiculed in school by being allowed to attend any school.. so i'm not really sure if this whole allowing the black kids being treated like everyone else is a good idea. i fear that they might become sitting ducks. i am a caring person."

In a Thursday interview with Fox Business, Paul said that Julian Assange should get the same kind of protections as the mainstream media when it comes to releasing information. "In a free society we're supposed to know the truth," Paul said. "In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it." "This is media, isn't it? I mean, why don't we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?" he added. CBS when jbg, the radical leftist lawyer, shady, scarlett and the rest of the usual suspects advocate gagging wikileaks, they're promoting fascism.

hey, mr. radical leftist lawyer, for a lawyer, you sure have quite the contempt for the law.

are you really this clueless or are you just playing one? is assange releasing personal information about people who are trying to get laid or is he releasing information about what our governments / representatives are really doing behind closed doors? how clueless do you have to be to try to equate two things that are completely different?

an interesting article. thanks for sharing. salon.com continues to impress me with the quality of their work.

most of the information wikileaks has put out is nothing new to those who make an effort to inform themselves and realize how it all works. it's also nothing new for the apologist of the system who, for one reason or another try to downplay a corrupt system that is far away from a democratic process. what is important here is whether or not the leaks will push the general public to learn more about what happens outside of what the mainstream media regurgitates to them.

you suck at the internet. you made an irresponsible false remark, it was responded to and then you elected to post something totally out of context pretending that you're actually responding to the comments made about your earlier posted misinformation: but they do, israeli apologist. even though you will not be able to show to everyone when the last rocket was fired and israeli children were killed, hamas is repeatedly called on by pretty much any person or group who talks about the situation. you lie too much. [repeated response with a few extra words added on]

why are some of you acting like this is out of the ordinary and it's a fault of some religion? this isn't anything new. you will always see some people reasoning and justifying these types of actions. whether it's retaliation for actions committed or an alternative to military attacks against an occupier, it has been going on for centuries. just in the past century: the extremist jews did it in palestine, in order to drive the british out. they also committed terrorist attacks on palestinians by attacking civilians and creating a culture of fear to drive them out of the land that they wanted. many of the leaders of these extremist groups went on to become part of the israeli government. of course, there are/were the terrorist attacks on israeli civilians. extremist palestinians targeted israeli civilians as both retaliation and as a political statement. the oklahoma bombing, the unibomber, the NRA attacks were all politically motivated. this sick, desperate man in sweden, at least, seems to have sent out a warning before blowing himself up. but i understand, this is another chance by the typical hyenas to jump all over muslims.

but they do, israeli apologist. even though you will not be able to show to everyone when the last rocket was fired and israeli children were killed.

uhm? slow boy? stop spreading lies. you realize that: economic treatment conspiracy: $3 billion a year to israel from the US taxpayers political treatment conspiracy: blocking numerous UN resolutions and preventing and pushing other countries from taking political and economic actions towards israel. this is a reality. you and your pathetic attempts at diffusing real conversation by screaming conspiracy theorist or anti-semite is not going to work.

? i don't have the time for simple, bigoted creatures like you. consider this response a gift.

AIPAC is a lobby group that pays US politicians (both democrats and republicans) money so that they would show preferential treatment, both economically and financially, towards israel even if it means putting US' interests second to israel's.

really? that's news to reality. welcome back. way to start your return with a bang.

lol @ bringing up canada. so yeah, your economy still sucks and more and more people are falling under the poverty line every day. just because there are people in other parts who are not numb and ignorant about what's happening and their government's responsibility, it doesn't mean that things are any peachier in the US. even the tea party, which started out as a legitimate outcry against the system has now been rounded up by the republican party who are every bit as much part of the problem that the economy is facing.
