[WWIII]Does anyone just shake their heads and wonder wtf anymore?

one could argue that we are in WWIII already.

 

Let's select top 3 boxer from each side, solve it in the boxing ring .

 

I'm not sure what you'd expect of Israel until Hamas recognizes their right to exist. That seems to be a 'starting point' at which no relations can go forward without such a concession. And I can hardly fault Israel for not sending money to an organization whose mission statement is the destruction of Israel.

As for WWIII, I don't think so. Any conflict between Israel and her neighbors would just result in another humiliating ass kicking for the Arabs. Why that would draw any of the larger powers in I can't say.

 

Seriously who cares?

We'll wipe them off the face of the map.

 

And people wonder why Americans are hated around the world.

 

i'd say most people around the globe that are worth knowing can tell the difference between TMac640 and you and i. don't be such a worrywart.

 

WWIII? That would make for some good tv!

 

I agree in terms of the US not sending aid and any aid Israel provides. However, the article talks about tax revenue Israel is collecting from the Palestinians and for the Palestinians. Withholding that, regardless of leadership, strikes me as completely unethical. If nothing else, stop collecting it and tell Hamas its their own responsibility to do that. But don't collect it and then keep it.

 

It might be the 5 day war this time. Iran and Syria would be crushed by Israel. How many times do they want to say uncle?

 

And one would be wrong.

 

The Russians have even come out and said that Hamas has to tone down the rhetoric and recognize Israel to be considered a legititmate political entity. The Iranians are not going to attack anyone unless they are attacked first. I think Syria has been a$$ whip by Israel enough already to know better. Why would any country attack a nuclear power? Even if Hamas, Syria and Iran were to start winning a conventional war then all of a sudden Tehran and Damascus would cease to exist in their present intact form.

Now I'm sure the Israeli government would love to wipe the "axis of terror", sounds like a wrestling team, off the map too.

WWIII is still doubtful, but when China says its got Iran's back, then lets start talking world war.

 

Watch out if the Isreali's send out a little guy with a sling and three stones

 

TMAC640 is a part of the Shadow Government?

 

If Al-Qaeda really wants to start world war III then all they have to do is bomb the Dome of the Rock and have it blamed on Israel.

 

I agree the US doesn't have to provide aid to the Palestinians if they don't want to, that's our right (besides, the Muslim world will provide it, it isn't such a large aid anyways that the Palestinians recieve from the U.S., it could be easily compensated for by the Saudis or some other rich Arab country, which the Arab League has pledged to do). However, the tax money being collected by Israel is Palestinian money, withholding it would be stealing it, plain and simple.

They can stop collecting it and force Hamas-led government to do so themselves, but they can't calim a right to withhold it, it isn't their money.

 

That's now what I heard on Fox News.

 

why should the occupied recognize the occupiers right to exist without the occupiers recognizing the occupied's right to exist?

 

The problem here is that everybody is painting Hamas into a corner. By making vocal threats about withholding aid if Hamas doesn't Israel they make the act of recognition look like knuckling under and compromising the Palestinian people.

It might have been a better idea to make vague public statements like “We are concerned about Hamas’ philosophy.” while making their demands for the continuation of funding were contingent on Hamas moderating their views.

It seems like they are trying to be as confrontational as possible. If you were Hamas and actually wanted to recognize Israel, you almost couldn't at this point unless you wanted to loose all credibility.
