philistines snatch 2 more Israeli soldiers

[soul_warrior]

hezzbulla reported via "Al Manaara" tv station that they grabbed 2 more reserve soldiers at israel's northern border.

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli military sources say they have "strong concerns" that two soldiers have been abducted along the border with Lebanon, following reports of cross-border attacks.

Hezbollah TV reported Wednesday that Hezbollah guerrillas had captured the soldiers.

Tensions flared earlier in the day when Hezbollah militants fired a pair of rockets into northern Israel from southern Lebanon, wounding four Israeli civilians, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF.)

Police in Lebanon described it as an exchange of fire between Israel's north and the villages of Ramieh and Aita al-Shaab in southern Lebanon.

In response, Israeli jets struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah is designated a terrorist group by the United States and Israel but is a significant player in Lebanon's fractious politics.

cnn linky thing
still unconfirmed by israeli authorities, a newsdesk friend of mine confirms it.
link to hebrew news site - ynet

now its time for a favorite quote to alleviate the mood.
"i think we're in a desperate situation now"

my belief is that it will very soon hit the fan.
and its not all that hunky dory out there is it?

If that's true, it shows how stupid the Palestinian militants are. Kidnapping soldiers will only make Israel attack them more until they give them back. This achieves nothing.

You can take Israeli soldiers, but Israel won't take your ****.

Time to re-occupation of southern Lebanon. This piece of land is a model case of what happens, when Israel pulls back - militants seize such territory and carry out attacks against Israel from them.

No way in hell. When we were there our soldiers died every day and for nothing. We have nothing to do in there. We should bomb their bases from within our territory.

Well, the article says it was Hezbollah fighters, who're mostly Lebanese.

Why risk another bloody war? Just bomb some places in southern Lebanon and get the terrorists and the Lebanese government back in line

Just bomb some places in southern Lebanon and be condemned by the rest of the world.

Ahhh, the good ol' days...
when we could just go wading in with napalm and burn them out.

seriously, i believe we should draw a line in the sand (which is being drawn as i type).
any one attacking would then be considered as declaring war.
then the fun would start, without too much hassle from the pesky UN or the worse EU.

this Is War

and we didnt even start this one

who wants to bet that Israel will get condemned by the weekend by the UN?

Despite what I said before I bet you 100 gold (paid in 10 gold instalment over 10 turns), Tarsus and Nationalism that they won't be. Why, I'll even adopt Bureaucracy, if you want me to...

So an Israeli soldier is kidnapped in Gaza, and as a response Israel launches an offensive, with fighterplanes and artilleri... killing dozens of civilians...
An Israeli soldier is kidnapped, and as a response Israel close down fuel transportations to Gaza, thereby disabling the waterpumps, taking scarce water away from thousands of civilians.

And what have Israel obtained by doing all this? Two more soldiers have been kidnapped, more innocent have died, more hatred have been created towards Israel. More terrorists have been spawned.

Way to go...

i do believe they hated us before we started going about bombing them...
as i recall, they started bombing and shelling civilians with artillery (those rockets can, even though VERY low grade, be called artillery)
and regarding the fule shortage...
all we are saying.. is give peace a chance...
israel got the HECK OUT OF DODGE, which was VERY good.
what happened next?
instead of fighting it out on gaza-land, were doing over israels land.
i say give back to the arabs what is thiers!
lets start hurling shells and rockets back!
hey! we are already
good for us

i think i need to clarify here:

the Philistines were eradicated around the byblical times.
the palestinians were CREATED by th ebritish mandate after WW1, as a name for this parcel of land.

before the british there were NO palestinians.

now to elaborate:
the original philistines tried their hardest to kill off the jews.
so do the modern palestinians.

they also claim they have always been here.

so i just call them by thier desired name.

add to that my close to racist views on thier culture (never said i was impartial), and the english meaning of philistines....

you get the drift, right?

Yeah... they began to hate you after you forced their parents away, to live in refugeecamps, which you occasionally bombed a little. Imagine growing up in such a camp, not having a home. Home is everything.

Nice of you to give Gaza back, while you expand into the West Bank. The security and landgrap wall is well underway. If you want peace, respect the borders and allow people to return at least some sort of home.

As long as these people suffer because of you, you will never have peace.
