The Arabs have a history of gang-banging Israel right?I don't think so. The only case of arab coalition against Israel was the 1948 war. And even that was screwed up, since Jordan made a secret deal with Israel before the war.
NO! cos Isreal will never learn to listenOriginally posted by Catknight:With Ariel sharon still in coma and the peace talks with hamas aseems to be going no where..will the holy city be headed for a rough year 2008?
Mark my words if our region turn islamists..non-moslems will leave en masseSeriously


1973 war by Egypt and Syria was to capture territories occupied by Israel in 1967, although there might had been a hidden agenda to do with oil.You mean
Participation by other statesI don't understand your statement about oil
Besides Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq, several other Arab states were involved in this war, providing additional weapons and financing. The amount of support is uncertain.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait gave financial aid and sent some token forces to join in the battle. Morocco sent three brigades to the front lines; the Palestinians sent troops as well.[32] Pakistan sent sixteen pilots.
From 1971 to 1973, Muammar al-Qaddafi of Libya sent Mirage fighters and gave Egypt around $1 billion to arm for war. Algeria sent squadrons of fighters and bombers, armored brigades, and dozens of tanks. Tunisia sent over 1,000 soldiers, who worked with Egyptian forces in the Nile delta, and Sudan sent 3,500 soldiers.
Uganda radio reported that Idi Amin sent Ugandan soldiers to fight against Israel. Cuba also sent approximately 1,500 troops including tank and helicopter crews who reportedly also engaged in combat operations against the IDF.

I don't understand your statement about oilThat refers to a so-called Anglo-American plot to use the 1973 war as a pretext to jack up the price of oil so as to deal a blow to western europe and Japanese economies who depended on middle east oil imports.
i dont think its a question of whether or not Israel will be peaceful, its whether or not the surrounding Arab nations will be peaceful or not.Israel is also not peaceful, continues to occupy arab territory.
i never saw Israel attack a country that didnt have a bone to pick with it.Israel is also hostile.
anyway...tell me whether there has been any Arab military victories in modern timeshow about hezbollah's victory over the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon in 2000?
That refers to a so-called Anglo-American plot to use the 1973 war as a pretext to jack up the price of oil so as to deal a blow to western europe and Japanese economies who depended on middle east oil imports.Engdahl might be right

Israel is also not peaceful, continues to occupy arab territory.I've already mentioned
In the war of aggression started by the 7 Arab armies
Namely, Egypt, Jordan,Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Algeria.
Who got their asses kicked Cool
The defender and victim, Israel, who won and occupied new territories
Had and still has a right to occupy these lands Cool
International law is very clear
Had it been the aggressor Shocked
Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip would have been illegal
as would all future expansion of Israeli population into these territories.
However, it offered to return the territories to the Arabs in exchange for peace
BUT
They refused
Lands Israel occupied also act as a defence buffer
More so by the fact that it was again attacked in the Yom Kuppur war
where again, Arabs got their asses kicked
As well as against homemade rockets that'll getting more sophisticated
Israel is also hostile.IF this is true, then what Israel did back then was wrong
Israel's Sacred Terrorism

how about hezbollah's victory over the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon in 2000?It was just because of its unpopularity amongst the Israeli population
I got a question to ask.Originally posted by googoomuck:What's the point?
