Zionists pollute 100km coastline

So what are you getting at, jaed? I noticed that you never answered my last post. Is there any reason for this...apart from my reputation for not taking crap?

Anybody that doesn't think that Israel has a responsibility to clean up its mess doesn't deserve a response.
Well my position (to re-affirm) is that they should though I feel that it's highly unlikely that they will. I would even go so far as to argue that in the long term that it's in Israel's intrests to assist in the cleanup. Just because the present damage is affecting other nation's coastlines does not mean that in the long-term the pollutants will get into the food chain and affect populations of nations in the mediteranean overall.
 
They won't be thinking that far ahead. They'll be planning how to circumnavigate any responsibilities and still draw EU support.

I'm guessing, based on his response times, that Moono is either a Yank or a student, or both...


Why is it relevant where Moono (or someone else) lives or if he is US or " a student" or whatever?
You claim to live in "The Village". Clear enough.

Israel clearly targetted the Lebanese economy and on the (very) long term the future of that economy. Do you have an idea what the costs are for the tourism industry alone? Both local and foreign? For years to come?

salaam.

Because I'm interested in who Moono is and where he comes from... He's never posted in any other forums (apart from the Football one) so he's a bit of an enigma...

Don't encourage him. Look what happened to Rachamim, three autobiographies and two sequels.

I'd almost forgotten about R18's oeuvres on this forum. How does an ordinary 'tunnel digger' find the time to type up so much text? If I were his employer, I'd have given him the sack ages ago! :D

Why is that "interesting" let alone relevant to any given discussion?

Because of his continuing refusal to say... If someone refuses to say something it automatically becomes more interesting... It would also make his threads more interesting if (say) he was from the US, since having an anti-Isreali opinion can be rare in some regions...

It might explain why he is so anti-"zionism" if it turns out he is in Beirut...

Concerning the actual topic: I can't see anyone defending Isreal if they purposely targetted the oil terminal to cause this oil spill, and even if they didn't, then Isreal should be condemmed for not allowing a clear-up operation. Yep, tourism will be affected, but wars are bad for tourism as well.

Will they be forced to do so...? Probably not, unless it significantly changes the oil prices...

mmm... That makes me extremely interesting. I could never dream it was taht easy to become interesting to absolute strangers.

In my view "opinions" are personal, no matter where you live or who you are. Secondly: I think you confuse one and an other when reading posts. To me Moono doesn't come across as "anti Israeli" but as very much opposed to Zionism and its influence on Israeli policies. He is not alone on this globe to have such opinions. (In fact: I share them, be it maybe more nuanced then the way Moono usually expresses it).

It might explain why he is so anti-"zionism" if it turns out he is in Beirut...

My European relatives are very much opposed to and very critical of Zionism and Israeli policies too. They don't live in Beirut, obviously. All my friends, including the Jewish, are of the same idea. Most of them (99%) do not live in Lebanon either.

salaam.
 
IT is a terrible, terrible thing and I think that it borders on criminal that the Israeli Gvt. is not doing more in trying to fix this terrible mess.

Yeah, and the pollution is a problem too.

Surely I'm not the only person who laughed out loud when reading this.

Er, I think you were, Igor. You're the one with the petty mind who loves to snipe...even though you have the intellectual capacity of a broken washing machine.

Tiny things for tiny minds (go on take that out of context you ignorant cunt).
 
Why are you so stupid and thick, Lock? Why do you snipe at posters who are more lucid and more intellegent that you? Is it because you are jealous of them? That's it, isn't it? Jealousy and bitterness...because you're not only deeply unpleasant but you're a bitter bastard as well.

I wouldn't mind but you never make any meaningful contributions either. Perhaps that's because you are incapable of doing so. If you can't make a proper contribution, don't make any at all.

You're not even good enough to a proper bully, that's why I call you "The Bully's Mate". You hang around with bullies and you egg them on.

For someone who is supposed to know better, you behave like a spoiled 7 year old child who has been told that he can't play on the motorway...though I wish you would, you horrid excuse for a human being.
 
At risk: loggerhead turtles, monk seals, fish stocks
On Palm Islands Nature Reserve, located off the coast of Tripoli, the oil covering its rocky coasts has killed algae and other organisms that fish and turtles feed on. The reserve counts 156 species of birds, including many migratory birds depending on direct contact with the now contaminated water.

The reserve’s polluted environment is also putting endangered loggerhead turtles at risk. Threats come from the oil film on the water, when they come up to the surface to breathe and from the contaminated beaches where they nest.
Migratory birds are also at risk: having just started their annual migration, many birds pass through the contaminated site, which is one of Lebanon’s most important staging areas for migrant birds and protected under the RAMSAR Convention on Wetlands.


Rare monk seals, which have been observed in the past in the reserve’s waters, might be affected as well. They are listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Thank you, Zionism.
 
Oh, c'mon, it's a mess. Everybody should be made to pay to clear it up. Zionists, nations, multinational corporations, individuals. Anyone connected directly or indirectly with the sordid state of affairs that is currently the middle east.
 
Moono: your first mistake is forgetting that our coast is shared. Lebanon and Israel are neighbours and anything effecting their shore is bound to effect ours and in fact it is. The Israeli Govt. though has finally moved on the issue and is working to make amends...better late than never but I still resent the amount of time it took.
 
Don't tell me, they're offering to make a barrage out of Palestinian corpses ?

The Zionist scum were quite well aware that the prevailing currents were northwards and away from occupied Palestine when they bombed the storage tanks.

Might have been slightly easier not to target the place in the first place, hm?

But then with Olmert boasting about his country's vandalism of South Lebanon, that wouldn't have been likely to happen, would it?
 
A United Nations human rights inquiry said on Friday that Israel should be made to pay compensation for damage caused by the month-long Lebanon, especially losses incurred by civilians.

It suggested setting up an international compensation program similar to the one which has paid out billions of dollars to cover losses due to Iraq's 1990-91 invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

But the three-member commission of inquiry left any decision to the UN Human Rights Council.

No wonder the Anti-Defamation League wants the Human Rights Commission discredited. It might have to get its wallet out.
 
moono,

I notice you are very passionte to the palestine issue but what is your solution to it. Calling israeli's zionists won't get very far but have you a alternative view embracing both sides?
 
Israeli go home.

That implies that Israelis have a home of their own and that they get out of Palestine.

How simple could it be ?
 
Pembroke: Funny thing that targeting. When terrorists choose to set off an IED, blow a gate off its hinges, cross into your nations sovereign land, set off a second IED, disabling Humvee and APC on routine border patrol then rake the occupants with AK fire killing all but two, dragging those two back across the border and into incognito, as they have shelled the northern half of your nation day in, day out for almost a month the decison to target is sort of a given, you know? Life is funny that way.


Moono: What the ADL wants or does not want is not relevant as the ADL is an American organisation, or has this escaped you?

Please do tell us how you define "Palestine," a nation which has never existed. Could you for instance, tell us would it leave room for a sovereing Israel in the immediate neighbourhood?
 
'Plishtim' existed for Abraham.

In the present day, it's not helpful to contest the 'existence' of those people who have continuously lived on the land which was called Palestine.

On Ariel Sharon's birth certificate, it says 'Palestine'.
Let it go, Rachamim. Accepting 'Palestine' doesn't mean negating 'Israel'. Not in my book, any way.
