Obviously not too happy.

I doubt they would've taken it then if the Jordanians hadn't stupidly joined forces with the Egyptians.

Just an aside, I know most regulars on this forum don't have much respect for the liberal arts but I wish more in the U.S. would take the time to explore the history of our own foreign and domestic policies for the last 100 years, and I don't mean just the simplified white-washed narratives you find in high school textbooks. There are a lot of well written books and articles out there which are hardly ever have audiences outside of academia and think-tanks that help explain rampant why there are profound anti-American feelings in places like Latin America or the Middle East.

And it isn't just Ivory tower liberals who are expressing these views. Old hardliners and cold warriors like late George Kennan, have come out against the stupidity of our own blundering foreign policies.

It isn't 1960 anymore. The golden years are gone, the U.S. has lost whatever morale high-ground it had as a defender of freedom and liberty. No one as faith in the United States anymore and we're rapidly rotting away from economic malaise and political polarization.

OMG, since when did Reisstiu become an intelligent poster!!?

Tupac, everyone can see through what you're doing...

HC, you're just a total ****ing moron!

Tupac, everyone can see through what you're doing...

I should hope so. The logical disconnect in Riesstiu's post should be obvious to even the simplest of posters.

Obviously not too happy.

Yeah, they weren't all that happy about the Arabs shelling them from the Old City. Go figure.

I've been up on the fortress wall in Jerusalem. You can still see the gun nests* that the Arabs used to shell West Jerusalem before and during the '67 war.


*At least the tour guide said that they were. I dunno, he could have been lying.

[Al B. Sure!]

Hey I was in Beirut in the late 80's when the Israelis shelled the **** out of the place... I was a ****ing toddler but you remember that **** no matter how young you were. Oh yeah and they've been doing it every few years for two decades since then.

That would be because Lebanon was shooting rockets at Israel...

WASHINGTON — North Korea showed a visiting American nuclear scientist last week a vast new facility it secretly and rapidly built to enrich uranium, confronting the Obama administration with the prospect that the country is preparing to expand its nuclear arsenal or build a far more powerful type of atomic bomb.

That would be because Lebanon was shooting rockets at Israel...

and that was because .....
and that was because ......
and on it goes, retaliations stretching back over many centuries

[Al B. Sure!]

No. The Lebanese Army did no such thing. The government of Lebanon did no such thing.

The Israelis systematically attacked civilians of a nation that did not attack it.

[DinoDoc]

The government of Lebanon did no such thing.

Are you sure? I was fairly certain that was Hezbollah shooting those things.

[Hauldren Collider]

Might not have been the government but if the government can't keep its people from shooting rockets then I don't know how you can expect Israel to tell the difference.

[Al B. Sure!]

Are you sure? I was fairly certain that was Hezbollah shooting those things.

Is Hezbollah the Lebanese government?

[DinoDoc]

Is Hezbollah the Lebanese government?

Of the south.

[Al B. Sure!]

Might not have been the government but if the government can't keep its people from shooting rockets then I don't know how you can expect Israel to tell the difference.

Yo. Israel occupied Lebanon from 1982-2000.
