| Originally posted by Q5echo i honestly made the mistake of confusing the two. i'm aware of the differences. however, i think its fairly irrelevant today what they were born out of. what they are to Israel today and what they are to Lebanon today has little to do what they are "born out of". |

| Originally posted by George Smiley While it might be perfectly reasonable to suggest Hizballah would continue in their aggressive policy towards Israel should they withdraw from Shebaa Farms, they'd have a hard time garnering any support from those who traditionally sympathise with their aims when, after all, they would have achieved those aims |

| Originally posted by TranceGiant That argument became so lame ages ago. It just naively fails to recognize the very nature of Islamist terror groups as opposed to any other terrorist organizations in the past anywhere else in the world. The pattern of such groups is identical, the lessons learned similar, and yet apparently something surprinsgly stubborn in the average "Western" mind, let's call it the gullible notion that at the end of the days we are all rationally thinking human beings (aka "humanism"), will twist and turn everything in order to maintain the hope for a peaceful resolution. Al-Quaida, Hamas, Hizballah, the Iranian mullahs all act the same: They mix their proclamation that Israels needs to vanish from the face (A) of the earth with a list of "realistic" polticals claims (B). That's when many people make the big mistake of "logically" combining these two positions in the following way: "If B becomes irrelevant, then A automatically ceases to exist". Well, that's the thing, though: WRONG. The hatred and desire to annihilate the Jewish state is NOT linked with these claims. It's a relgious conviction, not a stance open for negotiation. Listen closely to the speeches of various leaders. Never do they even hint at giving up this belief, no matter what Israel will do. Contrary to IRA/ETA/ you name them, their existence is based on an *ideology*, they do not present an assembley of people with similar poltical goals. They are cults. These cults are feeded on recognition, fame driven by "successful operations" which are measured by how much they destroyed, not how much they actually gained. Israel made the mistake of trying to comfort them, thinking that responding to these claims will eventually weaked their hatred. The opposite occured again and again (I'm not gonna list everything here, just think of 2000 and 2005, unilateral withdraws on the one hand and an escalation of violence on the other hand...or basically the entire Oslo process in retrospective). Why is it so hard to believe somebody wnats you to die, just bceause you happen to be "you", and he happens to be "him"? Because, whether you like it or not, that's the case here. |
You didn't address my main point to the slightest. It's not my fault that my perception of reality does not "encourage" a peaceful solution, I wish things were different, but you can't choose, can you. I'm certainly not going to close one eye or hear things differently or forget history just to adjust to an allegedly diplomatic approach. It's not my opniion, it's what I firmly believe to be the case, what can I do about that.
And stop effusing the cliche of Israeli "fundamentalism". Settlers are a tiny minority in population and political influence. Comparing their "power" with the status of religious extremism on the Arab side is deliberate falsification of facts. Three years ago the overwhelming Israeli mainstream was able to effectively take away their homes in the Gaza strip - against their strong will. It was yet another attempt for "land for peace". Yet another failure.
Sometimes there are no solutions. At least nothing short-term. Simple as that.

| Deviant Ikwanis from the a Palestinian Group Called Hamas teaching children to go and kill yourself which is Forbidden in Islam Instead of Teaching these children about Islam and Tawheed and teaching them the sunnah of RasoulAllah they teach them how to carry a gun. This Group called "Hamas" is a organization which was founded by the Ikwanul Muslimeen which were Group from Egypt and their Most famous Leader is Sayyid Qutb, Qardawi etc. This group is also the head of a country called Sudan in Africa. The Ikwanul Muslimeen are basically a deviant sect of Islam much like the shia they deny that ALlah is above the throne they have the Ashari creed. They also believe that Allah created the Qur'an instead of revealed the Quran, and this statement is Kuffr since the Speech of Allah is not created it's always there Just like how the Power of Allah and the Knowledge of ALlah is always part of Allah and not created. These attributes are always part of Allah and it is from among Allahs names and attribues asma wa sifat, one of the categories of Tawheed. This group called the Ikwanul Muslimeen also believe Music is Halal, and they also have many connections with the Shia Pagan religion and Iran, they allow for the free propagation of the Shia religion in Al Azhar for example and in Sudan and also in Palestine. This group like many of the supporters of this deviant group Like Hamas want to destroy Islam and should be avoided I made this video not to talk down on Palestinians but to warn them that this group is not an Islamic group and has noting to do with Islam, This group is not surving Muslims or Islam but rather want to destroy us Muslims by saying things like Suicide is Halal we should beware of these people including bin laden and other Khwarijeeis who want to destroy our deen. we should try our Best to follow Islam and the sunnah according to how the Salaf practised Islam and not add or delete things from it. We should embrace Salafiyaah insha'Allah and follow Islam how the Salaf practised Islam and not how these village idiots running around do! ---Quran 4:29 O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves unjustly except it be a trade amongst you, by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you. ---Hadith Qudsi 28: On the authority of Jundub ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: There was amongst those before you a man who had a wound. He was in [such] anguish that he took a knife and made with it a cut in his hand, and the blood did not cease to flow till he died. Allah the Almighty said: My servant has himself forestalled Me; I have forbidden him Paradise. It was related by al-Bukhari. ---Sahih Muslim Book 035, Number 6480: Anas (b. Malik) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying. None of you should make a request for death because of the trouble in which he is involved, but if there is no other help to it, then say: O Allah, keep me alive as long as there is goodness in life for me and bring death to me when there is goodness in death for me. -----Sahih Muslim Book 035, Number 6485: Hammam b. Munabbih said: Abu Huraira narrated to us ahadith from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and out of these one is that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: None amongst you should make a request for death, and do not call for it before it comes, for when any one of you dies, he ceases (to do good) deeds and the life of a believer is not prolonged but for goodness. -----Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 71, Number 670: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, will be in the (Hell) Fire falling down into it and abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and drinking it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever; and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his abdomen with it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever." ----Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 23, Number 445: Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Whoever intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he has said, (e.g. if he says, 'If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,' he is really a Jew). And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same piece of iron in the Hell Fire." Narrated Jundab the Prophet said, "A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him." |

| Originally posted by George Smiley Shebaa Farms is exactly how you described it earlier - an excuse - it's an excuse for Hizballah, Syria and Iran. It gives legitimacy to their opposition to Israel. I don't think it's necessarily that symbolic or important a region, but it's the only thing that allows these groups to maintain their position. Hizballah has an excuse not to disarm, I say take that excuse away and see what pans out. |

| But just a quick note, Hadith aren't exactly a reliable source for any agrument for or against Islam. The most "authentic" collection regarded highly by many Sunnis (majority of Muslims), is hardly a credible source. The scholar responsible for compiling it, Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari, for one was born 178 years after Muhammad's death. What is laughably called the "science" governing his methodology of Hadith compliation was basically travelling around the Middle East and inscribing what people claimed to be quotes from the Prophet, passed down via oral tradition, and he supposedly had access to biographies of all the people in the chain of narration. Wow, how incredibly rigerous, credible, and not to mention "scientific" lol. Once Bukhari got done discarding literally tens of thousands (actually it's in the hundred thousands) what he considered to be obvious fabrications and not authentic hadith, the revised version wasn't exactly something he put a lot of stock in eigther. During his travels when he arrived in what is now called Uzbekhistan (just south of Borat's home town lol), the Sultan of Bukhara, Khalid Ibn al-Ahmad Dhuhali, requested a personal meeting with Bukhari. Bukhari opinion of this narrowed down and revised list of hadith was that probably less than 5 % of these were actually authetic and accurate saying of Prophet Muhammad. The Sultan basically asked Bukhari if he could alter some of the hadith. Gee, I wonder where he was going with that? Hmm... let's see, he is a Sultan, he's got all the power he could have in the region, a little bit of alterations to Bukhari's narrowed down list certainly wouldn't hurt in that department. Bukhair refused this request and was subsequently banished, imprisoned, and died a bit over a month later. That should tell you a little something about the authenticity of "Sahih Al-Bukhari." Majority of muslims, virtually all Sunnis, and even Shi'ia, aren't even aware of simple historical facts like this, even so called "Islamic Scholars." The last few years of Bukhari dead are basically glossed over in most Sunni historical texts and most don't even bother offer a biography longer than a few pages on the guy's life. |

| Originally posted by LazFX I show a video from the area .... Shows a cute kid character and a lil girl hosting the show... talking and singing about killing and suicide... I also add some txt that seems to give a different POV from a Muslim..on the Pal struggle.....but because of theological differences; I am a racist??? or is this one of those things that I would not understand cause I am not Muslim??? |

| Originally posted by shaolin_Z Yes, and you've obviously conducted an extensive tour in Gaza and the West Bank... and lived with both Israeli and Palestinians providing humanitarian aid. Go fuck yourself Laz. First of all, I'm not fucking Palestinian or Israeli. I have no ties to this conflict whatsoever, of any type. You're a fucking retard if you think this is about religion. I'm not a nationalist, religious in any traditional sense at all, nor do I identify with any religious, ethnic, or national group. So no need to superimpose the retarded concepts you (and the vast majority of people) utilize for the sake of identity. I'm beyond all that superficial separatist insecurity driven crap... �Entiendes "puto" ? �O necesitas m�s informaci�n personal? |

| Zionism isn't about a tiny snippet of Mediterranean land, it's far more expansive than that and it won't end with the annihilation of all Palestinians and annexing of their land. Bombing the crap out of Lebanon was a necessary step as is the NeoCon (aka covert Zionist) Iraq War. |

| Most people here probably don't know jack shit about the plans for greater Israel, since they're never really studied any Zionist literature and probably stopped short of where their institutional indoctrination has instructed them to. |

| You can't expect a community of politically correct pussies to understand a thing about the non-politically correct real world. Never underestimate the power of denial, most of the global population lives in it daily. Which is why these you have Obama boners popping out everywhere "save us Messiah O." Fucking pussies. |

| [EDIT] People are perfectly happy being slaves to their own fears and insecurities and the powers that be. It's been the case since the dawn of time. History always works in a cyclical form, or the evolution and demise of various societies, empires, and states. It's only going to get worse, and it looks like this time around, this point in human history, we're all fucked. Globalism and Corporatism have woven thread of such interdependent submission globally that the ramifications won't be limited to a national or regional scale. It will most likely be a full on global catastrophe. The sooner you realize this and save for a rainy day, the better off you'll be. Especially if you live in North America. |
WOnder Twin Powers ... ACTIVATE!!
you two are so full of shit!
I have agreed with you on several Pal/Is issues in the past.
Z suggests that "extremism" is not the norm in Pal.
I post a video of a "children TV program" that is aired on PAL TV..
with out decrying or anything about the video; You call me racist, ignorant a sheep and so forth....completely ignoring the video that was posted to show an extreme POV that is on TV in that region....thus making it "norm" to the lay man...
but I am a racist??
How do you come to that. How in the world does any SANE AND RATIONAL person come to that?? I posted the vid with out commentary on my part .... but yet... I AM A RACIST???!!??
You still have not told me WHY MY POSTING THAT VIDEO was a racist/ignorant thing.
All you have done is unsuccessfully taken the focus off of the video and tried to shift it on to me by calling me an ignorant racist sheep.

Gonna give us any clues as to how that "solution" will come about? (It's not actually a "solution", it is an "outcome". The solution is how to achieve that outcome) |
