Re: Israel what is next???
The latest is a five day truce with an extension of one extra day per hostage released after the initial 50.
So HAMAS can drag this out for a while.
But Notayahoo says makes no difference, we will still wage war on Gaza.
This has gone from a retaliation to one of proposed mass murder by this man.


Happy daze John in Oz.

I think the Arabs religion was founded about 1200 years after Christianity. The Jews do not follow the New Testament but the Old Testament is a different story. JS
Excepthe Jews were never slaves in Egypt.

#245 why not ? It was started by a terrorist organization with the full knowledge of its inhabitants. At least in Russia those who didnt agree with Putin got the hell out. JS

after the pestilence the Pharoah told Moses to leave and take the tribes of Israel with him, Moses parted the Red Sea unfortunately for the Egyptian Charioteers following the parting collapsed. So Egypt were involved with the Israelites from an early age.

Yes, the first and last "2 State solution" the Arab league attacking the small areas given to the Jews a big mistake since the victor kept the spoils.
Bit like 1939-1945 when Germany invaded Poland?? Germany lost all her lands from the Oder & Neisse rivers all the way eastwards to 'Prussia' which were wiped off the map.
Sometimes attacking and fighting over land the victor keeps a part of your land.
The Japanese Kuril island chain captured by Russia (WWII) has never been returned, one Russian said "What were captured in blood will not be returned for an inkwell". No biros to sign a treaty back then.......

When you opponent "ONLY" agrees to a 12 hour ceasefire only to hand over the hostages, the sick and wounded and those in charge of breaking the ceasefire kept in place up to October 6. Okay, lets do it under the auspices of the Red Cross and Red Crescent good will go for it.
But, the heads of those that kicked it all off are handed over.
After murdering, raping and mutilating 1,500 people you should not be setting terms. Terms should be same offered by the Allies to Nazi Germany and Japan "Unconditional surrender".
