I do pity the Palestinians. They could already have most of what they need, if not what they want. I don't understand how people can be willing to put up with so much suffering needlessly, and pointlessly. If you do not understand that explain to me why so many millions of Jews chose to live under daily threat to their lives and in a state of perpetual war. What kind of person enjoys being in a constant state of war and threat of violent death? I doubt they do, Of course they do. Did someone force them to go there? They freely chose to live that way. although due to there overwhelming advantages in military strength the odds of an Israeli dying a violent death at the hands of a Palestinian are quite low, They whine so much about it you know they think it is important even though they freely chose the risk. and the average Israeli's quality of life is much much better than that of the average Palestinian.

Which is kind of sad. If the Palestineans allowed sanity to rule for a year, they too could have a good material life. Their lives would be much better if jews had not stolen all the best land from them. But I know, you approve of Germany invasion of Poland. You approve of Krystalnacht. When did you become a Nazi? Do recall what life in Lebanon was like before Black September. The Christians and Moslems did not exactly love each other, but they did -business- as opposed to killing. The result was called the Switzerland of the middle east. Lebanon would be a prosperous country today, if Palestinean crazies had not invaded and ruined their thing. And that is why Israel financed the Druze to start a civil war in Lebanon, to remove the competition. -- Whenever you read of Bush talking about withdrawing troops from Iraq you can be certain the next day will have a report of sending additional troops. -- The Iron Webmaster, 3658 nizkor http://www.giwersworld.org/nizkook/nizkook.phtml commentary http://www.giwersworld.org/opinion/running.phtml a5 |

The current siege of Gaza exonerates Krystalnacht as a legitimate response. So two wrongs make a right ? Israel says Krystalnacht was the right thing to do. First off, fleeing a war zone is normal human behavior and does not abrogate property rights. Yet not all fled, and have become Isreali citizens. How can that be ? They are citizens in the same sense that Blacks in the old south were citizens. Meanwhile politicians consider ways to force them to leave Israel. Must make your heart warm then. I am simply observing what Jews are like when they have political power. Second, around 1930 the Zionists openly adopted a policy of murdering and expeling Palestinians. Israeli historians using Israeli records have established the Zionists openly implemented that policy. Grow up and get a life. PKB, sonny Zionism is be its own definition and policy and open admission a conspiracy of mass murderers. Anyone who supports Zionism is also a mass murderer. Only in your feeble little mind perhaps The Jews went to Palestine with the explicite plan to murder Palestinians they could not expel. Israel records used by Israeli historians, Morris and Segev, show that is the plan that was implemented. Jews began terror bombings of Palestinians in the 1930s. -- In considering troop to population ratios, the US had over a half mllion troops in Vietnam with a population of 16 million and still lost. -- The Iron Webmaster, 3668 nizkor http://www.giwersworld.org/nizkook/nizkook.phtml flying saucers http://www.giwersworld.org/flyingsa.html a2 |

Maybe they shouldn't have run away when thier Syrian and Egyptian brothers attacked Isreal ? AND By genetics Palestians are brothers of the Jews from Judea who converted. They are not genetically related to Syrians or Egyptians and neither they nor Sepharidic Jews are related to the Ashkenazi converts from Eastern Europe. Well that explains why the Syrians nor Egyptians want to take in the Palistinians... You try to avoid the point. Ashkenazi Jews have not connection to bibleland except as converts. OTOH, Palestinians have the ancestral rights the atheist Zionists claim to have. You can't form a sentance without spouting hate, can you ? The truth cannot be hate. The ancestors of Ashkenazi Jews were not from Judea. -- America did not learn from a one day strike by illegals.

I'm not sure what you mean by any of this. Israel's per capital GDP is roughly equal to Spain's and twice that of Poland, for example. Many Israelis are from Russia, which has well under half the per capita GDP of Israel. Finally, about 20% (and rising) of the current population of Israel was born there, so they aren't making any choice at all. Additionally, the life expectancy in Israel compares quite favorably with other developed nations, so apparently the danger isn't that bad. Anyway, the attraction of Israel to Jews goes well beyond favorable economics and high life expectancy, though that is often a bonus. Jarg |

Big Red wrote: Jordan wrote: Oh no The upper heirarchy among the Arab states has but one purpose- to survive. Nuclear war's have never been very popular- because a nuclear exchange will amount to complete destruction. No ruling class has ever knowingly destroyed itself- which is basically what an exchange of nukes amounts to. Your claim that "a nuclear exchange will amount to complete destruction" is simply an assertion. You are making the big assumption that each party to the "exchange" is able to score enough hits on the other party to "destroy" it (and what exactly do you mean by "destruction?" Reduction of status as a Power? Collapse of regime? Severe depopulation? Near-complete genocide? Each of those levels requires an increasing number of average hits per city to effect). Ah, but you're assuming that Arab Powers aren't prone to suicidal acts of aggression. Witness the fate of Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a counter-example. How many wars have the Arab powers fought with Israel after the Jewish state developed tactical nuclear weapons? Two major ones (1973 and 1982) and numerous minor ones, one of which is going on right now. The Israelis got their first few nuclear weapons by 1970. Egypt and Syria launched an unprovoked invasion of Israel in 1973. In 1982, Syrian-backed border attacks on Israel (which by then had dozens of atomic weapons) led to Operation Peace For Galilee, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Right now Israel has at least a hundred, possibly hundreds of atomic weapons, and Syria is backing a series of Palestinian raids on Israel which may quite possibly lead to another Syrian-Israeli war. NONE of the Arab states that attacked Israel, as far as I know, has ever had _any_ operational nuclear weapons. What has protected them from annihilation has essentially been Israel's humaneness -- a frail shield considering that the Arabs wish to annihilate Israel. This does not fill me with vast confidence regarding Arab strategic common sense. Even Saddam's invasion was tacitical. Kuwait is just a sheikdom that has some oil. He gambled that the Russians and the Chinese could stop the U.N., and America wouldn't rush into a war without allies. He fatally underestimated how powerful America was, especially what the U.S. could do with a smaller superior force, and command of the sky. However, Saddam's invasion didn't amount to sucide, as he retained power after the war. No, what amounted to suicide was his continued violation of the truce terms _after_ the end of Desert Storms, including an attempt to assassinate ex-President Bush. This led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the overthrow of Saddam, and his likely execution on charges of crimes against humanity. " I disagree with your general proposition" I would challenge you to devise a scenario for a nation that contains an aresenal of viable tacitical nuclear missles to be destroyed. Oh, that's easy. Some other nation which has enough nuclear missiles to hit all of the target nation's major conurbations does so. End of the target nation. You said _nothing_ about "be destroyed without taking the attacker down with it." You simply assumed a sane potential aggressor being deterred by the threat of retaliation. This is not a safe assumption, as not all potential aggressors are sane. Especially one that has can deploy these missles in subs or in secure silos. No viable system has ever been deployed to stop an inbound nuclear missle with 100% accuracy No viable system will ever be developed to stop an inbound ANYTHING with 100% accuracy. But who said that 100% accuracy was required? and no stratedgy could made could hope to take out all of an exisisting nuclear power's missles, silos, and submarine based weapons. Who said that taking out "all" of an existing nuclear power's missiles, silos and submarine based weapons was required? You want a scenario involving one nuclear power attacking another nuclear power and NOT being deterred or destroyed by the threat of retaliation? Ok, here's one. At some future date Iran has 10 nuclear missiles capable of hitting Israel. The Israelis have 200 missiles capable of hitting Iran, and an ABM deployment capable of engaging all 10 nuclear missiles if launched simultaneously with an expected success rate of around 95% (I'm simplifying tremendously here, but my assumption is a per shot expected kill around 50% and multiple shots taken per incoming missile). Iran goes to war with Israel, backing terrorist teams who use nerve gas to kill 1000 Israelis, but has not yet launched an atomic strike. Israel becomes convinced on the basis of intelligence reports that Iran is going to launch an atomic strike the moment Israel retaliates against this atrocity. Israel decides that it cannot permit the continuance of these attacks and launches a pre-emptive attack on Iran. The Israelis begin with a stealthy (*) attack against the Iranian missile silos. This employs tactical nuclear weapons. The attack succeds in destroying 50% of the missiles. Unfortunately the Iranians have adopted a Launch On Warning policy against just such a contingency, and 5 nuclear missiles scream towards Israel. The chance of the Israeli defense system hitting each missile is 0.95. Hence the chance of the Israeli defense system letting at least one missle through is 0.95 to the 5th power, or around 0.77. In 77% of the universes in which this war happens, Iran is disarmed with no hits on Israel. In around 23% of the universes in which this war happens, Iran gets at least one hit on Israel. But in around 80% of those universes in which Iran hits Israel, Iran gets ONLY one hit on Israel. Assuming that the Iranians are using atomic bombs, one hit on Israel is not going to destroy Israel. It is not even going to destroy a large Israeli city; it will simply damage that city. Hence we can say, with some degree of confidence, that this atomic war ends with Iran's nuclear arsenal gone, Israel surviving, and Iran now at the mercy of an Israeli victor. If the Iranians are actually stupid and fanatical enough to declare that they will continue the war, building more atomic weapons and resuming the attack, Israel then probably launches a series of atomic strikes aimed at eliminating Iran as a Power with the resources to build more atomic weapons; millions of Iranians die, and the chances are that not one Israeli dies as a result of any Iranian atomic attack. If you think that this is unrealisticaly lopsided (in particular that I am unreasonably assuming that the Iranians will not work through the logic that I have just had and thus avoid the initial terrorist attacks in the first place) consider that at least one influential faction in the Iranian government has repeatedly, publically argued that it is the religious duty of any Islamic state to immediately attack Israel with atomic weapons as soon as it has _any_ atomic weapons with which to attack that country. It's also reasonable to assume that an atomic-armed Iran would at first have only a half-dozen to a dozen nuclear missiles, and most estimates of the Israeli arsenal put it at low hundreds. My estimate of the chances of the defense system are based on the performance of the Patriot II-III in battle, coupled with the assumption that in a situation where atomic attack was expected a battery, rather than individual missile, would engage each incoming threat. I could have made the defense stronger or weaker, and I deliberately simplified the math by stating that each _volley_ of missiles had a roughly 95% chance of succeeding with a per-shot in each volley success chance of 50%; the actual math of such engagements is _much_ more complicated than what I did. You might argue that I didn't give Iran "secure" siloes (what does that mean anyway?) or ballistic missile submarines. Well, as far as I know Iran doesn't have any siloes that are "secure" by any means other than the usual hardening, and Iran also has no SSBN's. (In fact, only America, Britain, China, France and Russia, to my knowledge, have any SSBN's at all -- it's a large and expensive type of submarine which is not very useful unless you have at least hundreds of total atomic devices and at least three such submarines so that one can be maintained on station at all times). I could, of course, have assumed that Iran modified one of their existing submarines to carry a _few_ nuclear missiles of some type (not a true SSBN, but perhaps an SSG with a couple of nuclear cruise missiles in its loadout, such as our _Los Angeles_ class). But then, cruise missiles are a lot easier to shoot down than are ballistic missiles. Finally - nuclear war, involving the destruction of an entire nation, is only a possibility in the minds of the most sociopathic members of the human species. Unfortunately, such persons sometimes rise to power as the heads of states. Witness Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and I could extend the list considerably without even leaving the 20th century. Furthermore, you're assuming that nuclear war must necessarily involve the destruction of an entire nation. In the one that we have actually fought so far (World War II) no nation was in fact entirely destroyed. - Jordan (*) I'm talking about the use of electronic warfare and radar avoidance tactics in general, not the specific use of B-2 or F-117 aircraft, none of which are possessed afaik by the Israelis. The Israelis used such tactics in their strike on the Iraqi atomic reactor. |
