THREAD IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL ( Archived) (677)

FFS there's Israel's enemies firing Katusha and Grad rockets at school buses and all you can think about it forged passports

Yeah but taking peoples indentities from other countries so you can bump some guy off aint exactly a right thing to do.

Who was the guy "they bumped off"?

Well it certainly makes a change for the anti-Israel threads that have come up time and time again. This is the very first pro-Israel thread that I have seen on CS in the last year, so yes, it is something different Vinny, and about time too.

Abbas Wants Lebanese Flag Flying over Jerusalem

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has tied the knot with Lebanon, raising the Palestinian Authority flag on its new embassy there and looking forward to the day when the Lebanese flag will fly over Jerusalem.

"In these days it delights us as Palestinians to see the Palestinian flag flying in the heart of Lebanon, in the heart of the Lebanese people, and in the heart of every Lebanese who loves Palestine," the Lebanese website Naharnet.com quoted Abbas as saying.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Miqati unveiled a plaque at the entrance to the embassy as Abbas added that he hoped "to see the day when the Lebanese flag will be hoisted in Jerusalem."

Since the ceremony was held last week, Hizbullah, which dominates the Lebanese government through its alliance with pro-Syrian parties, has praised the Al Qaeda-linked terrorist attacks north of Eilat on Thursday.

The terrorist organization said it was proud “of the heroic resistance fighters, irrespective of the side they belong to. What they did is the only means to make the enemy understand that this land is ours and it cannot occupy it forever.”

Hizbullah added that the attacks were acts “of resistance that achieves the Arab and Islamic will, which holds that all Palestine, from the Sea to the River is sacred and owned by its people.”

Abbas has stated to English-speaking media that he wants to establish the Palestinian Authority as an independent country within Israel's borders, covering all of Judea and Samaria and large areas of Jerusalem, including the Old City and Temple Mount.

Official PA media and speeches have told Arabs that all of Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa and the Negev, are “Palestine."

Abbas' visit to Lebanon comes a month before the scheduled Arab League bid to the United Nations for recognition of the PA based on its unilateral territorial and political demands.

The rotational presidency of the United Nations Security Council will place Lebanon as the presiding member in September.

“The Lebanese government will exert utmost efforts within its available resources to improve the living conditions of our Palestinian brothers residing in Lebanon," Miqati told Abbas.

Eighth Victim from Thursday Murder Spree Named

Bus driver Yitzchak Sela of Be'er Sheva was 56.

Authorities allowed for publication Sunday afternoon that 56-year-old Yitzchak Sela of Be'er Sheva was the driver of the otherwise empty bus that was blown up by a suicide bomber during Thursday afternoon's terror attacks along the Israeli-Egyptian border, north of Eilat. Sela was one of eight Israelis murdered in the attacks.

The disclosure came following the funerals for Kfar Sava residents Moshe and Flora Gaz, Flora's sister Shulamit Karlinsky and Shulamit's husband Dov, whose car was hit by an anti-tank missile. After the missile hit his target, a terrorist approached the car and fired on the four at close range to make sure they had all been slain.

On Friday, Yosef Levy of Holon was laid to rest. He and his wife Esther were were ambushed by terrorists who sprayed the car with gunfire, hitting both passengers and causing the vehicle to overturn. In this case, terrorists fired at the car from up close to "confirm the kill." Esther managed to remain still for an hour as IDF soldiers engaged the terrorists and a gun battle ensued.

Funerals were also held Friday for 22-year-old Staff Sergeant Moshe Naftali of the Binyamin Jewish community of Ofra, who was killed when terrorists attacked his unit as it went to assist a bus that had been fired upon, and decorated counter-terrorism officer Pascal Avrahami of Jerusalem, who was killed in an exchange of fire with terrorists on Thursday evening north of Eilat, as Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Chief of Staff Benny Gantz were holding a news briefing on the earlier attacks.

One of your fellow countrymen has disgusting and vile views about Israel which you no doubt have read, and also has wished me to go to Israel and be "nuked" so I guess he was the trigger. He has annoyed and upset a lot of people. Whereas this is a debate, yes, you cannot debate with someone as hateful as that.

But you cant brand a whole country rasist based on one poster. And im not saying you did but that other guy did.

You can't but there is an extraordinary amount of anti-Israeli feeling in the Republic and people from there have told me so as well. Because it is so unusual for the mild nature typical of those in the Republic to be so anti-Israel it stands out more and is more evident because of that fact.
