The first incident was for "Nakba Day," and the next is to commemorate the start of the Six-Day-War. You may be noticing a pattern: these spectacles are designed to demand a do-over for wars in which Arab Muslim states were handed embarrassing losses when they thought they could polish off the Jewish state fairly easily, once and for all. They want to take another shot at it, or at least create enough trouble to goad a credulous international community into making land grabs on their behalf in consolation for military conflicts they could not win.
An update on this story. "Palestinian group calls for more 'Nakba Day' style riots," from the Jerusalem Post, May 21:
The Pro-Palestinian group that organized "Nakba Day" marches announced on Saturday that they were planning further protests on June 5, the day that the Six Day War broke out. The announcement, which was published on the Internet, called on Palestinians in foreign countries to fly to Israel and land at airports within the state.
The group called on Palestinian refugees to hold demonstrations at the borders between Israel and Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and the Gaza Strip....
Hmm, I think that's the least of our problems.
El Al and the IDF will make sure that doesn't happen.
""Palestinian group calls for more 'Nakba Day' style riots," "
because it's easier to do than to get a job...
As I watch JW each day, Its remarkable how much influence Robert and this site have had on the world. Can JW publish the site traffic increases over the years. Roberts appearances on world wide TV are an indicator of God's handiwork. I believe Its like a giant marathon race TO THE FINISH with goal line being the raised consciousness and resistance of the people of most of the nations to this evil "religion" even if their governments lay down. I think it corresponds to Islams race to dominate and subjugate the whole world. Who will win, who will win, indeed? Read the back of the Book to find out the answer to this fascinating question. The world parallels the nation of Israel to some degree. Winning out against overwhelming odds. There is a Rescuer awaiting in the wings. As the prophet-poet said: It aint over till its over!!
I just wish these groups would wait until the Ikhwan has taken over Egypt and Syria, and then try a do-over - invade Israel from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and the PA. That will give Israel the provocation it needs to trounce them again like in 1967, re-occupy Judea, Samaria, South Lebanon and Sinai, re-annex Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Sinai and obliterate Hizbullah from Lebanon. Destroy the military arsenals of Egypt, Syria & Lebanon in a pre-emptive strike, and expel all Muslims from the territories now constituting Israel under the pretext of war. And don't talk to anybody in Europe or the UN, and while Obama is around, don't talk to the White House either. Just do this, and any time any more clowns try attacking Israel, threaten to make more inroads, and do some sabre-rattling, like threatening to annex Damascus, for instance, or seize the Suez Canal.
After a while, if they don't still get the message, keep expanding.
If the Arabs want another war, then there will be another war. It will be terrible and may involve nuclear weapon attacks on Iran, Egypt, Syria, etc, but what can we do? The Israelis will fight to survive.
Israel, with the US/UK as a backstop (and tactic Saudi support), will prevail, and the Arab/Persian alliance will receive another humiliating defeat. I don't see any other major powers involved; Turkey will probably be neutral; China and Russia will sell some arms but stay on the side lines to see who wins; Iraqis will kidnap and kill each other and the Arab world will then go back to sleep, convincing themselves that they had another victory, worthy of Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn.
Let them try. See if they can get their private planes over Israeli airspace without being shot down. The IDF has a standing rule: If it isn't legitimately in our airspace, shoot it down!
It will be a turkey shoot. And guess who the turkey will be?
Well.....this ought to provide a lot of job security for undertakers, gravediggers and Israeli Air Force pilots!
Do these overfed, pampered, muslim mutts actually think they can do what trained, Arab fighter pilots failed to accomplish in 1967?
(Oh damn! I just insulted my dog by comparing the muslim whiners to him!)
Straight shootin Annie!
Infidel Pride. You have summed this up nicely. The time Israel must not hold back and must take the initiative at the first sign of aggression by these neighbouring fools. I also agree with annexing those territories that matter to them (Israel). These morons can then spend the next 100 years crying about how those Jews have occupied their land; not forgetting that these Arab states would have initiated the war.
Israel, take no notice of the bleeding heart liberals and make sure the world knows who fired the first shot. Do what all victors do in war; keep the territory you gain.
The sane and sensible people of this world know right from wrong. Those who have experience in dealing with the Arab states know too well how they think - or don't think.
Once you have gained enough territory to maintain a decent buffer zone, build a bloody big wall and mine an area kilometres wide on both sides.
The only problem is that Israel is dependent for aid ($$$) from the United States. Does anyone here think that President Obama will stand idly by while his ideological buddies in the Middle East get another needed bitch slappin' by the IDF? The money to Israel will vanish. I don't like saying it, but I think that is what will happen.
Shoot 'em down.
