This time though there is a lot more rhetoric than usual from Israel over Iran.

Looks like the BBC is going to be busy for a while. Time to avoid the buses in Tel Aviv for now.

But seriously, the political world is setting itself up nicely for another World War. Russian Gas, Middle Eastern Oil, currencies in meltdown.

Not sure that receession is a prime mover, but oil and gas certainly are, and of course to liven things up a bit sprinkle in some Islam. That always makes things go bang.

Hardly indiscriminate, they targetted Palestinians and hit them, no?

You know, if they stopped firing rockets then much of this could be avoided...

Israel/Palestine works thus:
Hamas runs out of weapons so declares ceasefire. Israel must agree, because they're 'big mean bully Israel' and can't be seen to be aggressive (defending themselves). Hamas gets more weapons and declares ceasefire over. Palestinian militants fire rockets into Israel. Israel gets pissed off and retaliates. Israel is once again 'big mean bully Israel'. And so one for the rest of eternity (or until Israel gets really pissed off and wipes Palestine from the map...)

Want to stop the war Palestine? Stop firing st.

And that is exactly why this will never end. It is impossible to criticise or comment on the abhorent violence of one side, without someone piping up "they started it, miss".

So you ALL agree that the Nation State of Israel is in fact EXACTLY and no better that the HAMAS Terrorists? good, glad we agree.

yes
I'm frankly sick of the whole lot of them. If someone was to 'accidentally' bomb the whole f*cking lot, there'd be a distinct improvement, in my opinion.

..and Israeli women are gorgeousyes
biggrinyes

What amazes me though is the number of people in Israel you see walking around armed yikes Obviously going to or from training and/or service time but the casual weaponry can be a bit daunting.

Yes, but it is always the innocent who suffer, and I am as sick of this as you and most right minded people probably are.

Also - Israeli's need to do National Service up to around the age of 40 .....our general manager out there and some of the local team have to do it : main job of MD or CFO... part time job's in paratrooping or manning the artillery in the golan heights ( ... bit more interesting than a 2 week break from work in benidorm )

Sadly, be it right or wrong, this is the only viable way of defending yourself. Nothing else works. Israel shows great restraint in my view, seeing as how it has the ability to wipe out Palestine overnight yet still agrees to ceasefires as and when Hamas declare them. If Palestine had such an ability, would it show equal restraint?
