well you can't FEEL that much for Israel if you're not prepared to commit yourself to it economically, as well as militarilyrachamim18 said:Nino: Correct Nino, likw many Reservists I am called home to do my duty in time of need. America is merely a place to make more money. I feeel nothingother than that for it. Again, let us stick to the subject.
wrong...it was the formation of Israel 1947 without the support of the Muslim community.moono said:Wrong. The Hamas election victory 'kicked it all off '. The capture of the two Zionist soldiers was an invitation to open a second front, a front wherein the opposition had real weapons, unlike the trapped and unarmed Palestinians.
Belushi: While you were "lurking" you might also have seen at least three l;enghtly posts wqhere I listed everything frim my birthname [suprise! IT is the one I post with is Belushi yourt G-D given name?], actual home adresss, place of employmeny, employer, army division, battalion, platoon, squad, and so on. Save youer time and energy. Instead of trying to see if I am someone else, simply argue YOUR CASE ON ITS OWN MERITS. wOULD THAT NOT BE MORE PRODUCTIVE?
so were you or werent you Golem? rachamim18 said:Nino: Aahhhh....More obession...."Tunnels that o not exist?" Maybe you might try looking uo "2nd Ave. Subway" as well as the "Croton Resevoir Tunnel" and of course the "Hudson Tunnel" to accomodate larger shipping to kepp NYC's ports up to shape. Must we go through this everytime your diaper gets wet? I am in Local 731, NYC, Excavators and Concrete Laborers LIUNA
To all: Can we now please get back to facts that matter>
An Israeli court has charged the speaker of the Palestinian parliament, Abdel Aziz Dweik, with being a member of the militant group Hamas.

err, which is why USG alone gives over 13 billion direct and indirect aid per year approx 10% or thereabouts of israel GDP, and why other organisations and individuals in the US give something like half as much again.rachamim18 said:RedJezza: Sadly, you know precious little in the way of the Israeli economy.
Take a look at our GDP. The outlay, not including domestic injuries, deathsm, and insurance payouts is in the area of 7 billion. That is nothing. Now look at American AID. American AID is more symbolic than anything. Certain munitions though are highly valued but hardly mean anything crucial.
no I wouldn't - you're a spineless fucking hypocrite! You KNOW it would be harder to make it personally in israel than NYC, whatever line of work your in (other than killing civilians of course). You know the israeli economy is much more fragile. will you take the risk and anchor yourself permanently to the israeli economy, if it involves sacrifice and hardship on your par? clearly, not a chance.As for "committing myself economically to Israel," you'd be much better off asking me a question rather than offering snide, snap judgements that are completly baseless.
bully for you. so?Besides banking all my moneyin Israeli banks, and investing in national bonds among other things, I own three properties there.

What exactly is one able to ferry in an Apache or Cobra, apart from cannon shells and missiles?rachamim18 said:Fish: They did use Apaches/Cobras...as ferries.
Belushi: Many people could answer your question but for brevity's sake here...I have never posted under any other name, here or otherewise save plain old Rachgamimwithout the 18. Rachamim is my birth name. OK?

I was wondering about that too. And he's also bullshitting about the tank losses.Spion said:What exactly is one able to ferry in an Apache or Cobra, apart from cannon shells and missiles?
http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=2014598&C=landwarPowerful anti-tank missiles manufactured by Russia and Iran are being used with deadly effectiveness by Hizbollah against the Israeli army in southern Lebanon, military sources say.
A large proportion of the 68 Israeli soldiers who have died in south Lebanon since the start of the offensive a month ago were killed by such missiles.
Top-selling daily Yediot Aharonot reported Aug. 10 that out of 25 anti-tank missiles fired, about one-quarter of them pierced the armor of targeted tanks and caused heavy losses.
and this hasn't happened yet, and certain figures in the israeli govt have said it may not get there. and the point is you HAVE needed aid, LOADS of it, to survive, EVERY single day from the day of independence.rachamim18 said:RedJezza: Please do your homework. You forgot to add that all such AID is bebeing phased out to total cessation.
no it hasn't, not by any possible definition of the word 'sustainable', and besides which I NEVER said it wasn't 'sustainable' - that's a totally different concept to self-sufficient - as you'd know if you really knew about economics. nice sleight of hand, but you're still a lying prick.As for total independance, it has been 100 percent self sustainable since 1964. Seems you need to rely less on those propaganda sites and more on non-biased economics sources.
simple.Tell me, if you are so confident in your opinions and knowledge of the issues, why do you deem it at all neccessary to curse and denigrate a man you have never met? To me, you are as important as a fly on the wall. Neither good nor evil in my mind, Ergo, why do you spend wso much energy berqting me?
In a meeting at the White House late last month, Israeli officials made a pitch for $4 billion in additional military aid to defray the rising costs of dealing with the intifada and suicide bombings. They also asked for more than $8 billion in loan guarantees to help the country's recession-bound economy.

oh, umm, just one other thing. if all this civil and military aid is that irrelevant, how is it that israel put such a huge effort into attracting it? or are you saying that the USG and a huge number of organisations and individuals were NOT tapped up, constantly, and just woke up feeling generous one day?rachamim18 said:RedJezza: Please do your homework.

rachamim18 said:Fish: We use M113s as battlefield trasnmports at times and a 9mm can peel one. We have only lost 3 Merkava in the entire campaign and 2 were from anti-tank and one from a Clay-moor, why not simply do your fact checking instead of trying to denigrate a person you never met. What a joke.
Whose opinion is more credible, interweb bullshitter or high ranking IDF officer (who may be understating losses for propaganda and morale reasons.) I just can't decide.jerusalem post said:With 40 damaged tanks and 30 tank crew members killed in fighting in Lebanon, the Armored Corps began Monday to gear up for its next battle - this coming October when it tries convincing high-school graduates to enlist in its ranks.
Thousands of antitank missiles were fired over the days of fighting at tanks and infantry forces in southern Lebanon. But while soldiers told stories of deadly missile attacks on tanks, OC Armored Corps Brig.-Gen. Halutsi Rudoy revealed Tuesday that out of the almost 400 tanks that operated in Lebanon, only a few dozen were hit by antitank missiles and only 20 were actually penetrated.
