No it doesn't. Israel merely wants to live in peace, with the security of its citizens its primary concern. "All this" is driven by the backward medievalism of its neighbours.

Only YOUR  opinion of course, you seem to have forgotten to add this, you usually do but perhaps being Israel you thought it unnecessary, perhaps you think on this occasion everyone agrees with you, personally I think its a pathetic statement, only my opinion of course.

yes only my opinion of course pumphol apologies

and maybe some of us get fed up with anti Muslim posts lfc 1971

The Jew claim to Palestine seems about 2000 years out of date to me tbh
However they are there now I do not expect them to leave

My objection is when Western countries do their work for them, by taking down strong Arab countries at their request
Iraq, Libya under Gadhafi, and Assad if they could, also constantly destabilising these countries ie Egypt, Iran
...I regard this as morally wrong

I think we should stay away from this region, and let Israel/Arabs sort it out for themselves.
We gave the Jews what they wanted, we cannot take it away, but they have to live with the reality of their situation.

They will fight for what they have, I accept that, but our involvement is wrong

Sorry ebulGery, but we have not taken anyone down at Israel's request. That is a preposterous notion.

And we should stay away? Equally preposterous, I'm afraid. Of course the West should be involved, it is vital for our energy and security that we have influence in these places, and that if necessary we wield our power to shape events in our favour. That may offend your sensibilities, but it is nonetheless a fact.

Do you really think that Obama will sit back and let a bunch of Salafist loons take over Iraq?

No it is not, it is the only explanation I can see.
Who the hell really cares in this country, about what happens in the Middle East....no one

These countries do not have the weapons to threaten us, so they are no threat to us.
Terrorism - they target Israel and their main supporter America, not us.

But because we decides to actually start attacking these countries at Americas request, we are now a target.

We have a large Muslim population, we are very vulnerable. Our government have shown incredible stupidity,
guess who owns most of Media.

This country created Israel. Between WWI and WWII we allowed mass Jewish immigration to Palestine,
then after WWII we gave the Jews half of Palestine, they named it Israel.
The Palestinians and Arab neighbours regarded this as theft, so they attacked, they were defeated.

They forget one thing, the Jews are ex Europeans, they fight the European way, the best.
Traditional Arab inter tribal fighting is no good at this.
We also supply Israel with the latest arms, well America do.

Israel have to fight for survival now. They do it well, for every Israeli that is killed, they kill 100 Arabs in return.
Brutal but effective.

But we must now leave them to it, in fact the whole of the Muslim world. We are too vulnerable ourselves
because of our own Muslim population

just my opinion

You really should  read up on your history before coming out with comments like that, for your information the " arab neighbours " wanted neither an Israeli state or palestinian state, Egypt, Trans Jordan, Syria & Iraq among others all attacked both countries as independence was announced, Israel is far from solely to blame for the lack of a palestinian state.

We (the British) didn't create Israel. We controlled Palestine after WW2 until around 1947 during which time we strictly limited Jewish immigration to Palestine because we didn't want to upset the Arabs.

We then passed the problem to the UN who created Israel

Anybody with a passing interest should read A Peace To End All Peace by David Fromkin.

The creation of Israel can be traced back to our desire during WW1 to have some sort of Jewish state in place for geo-political reasons. The Holocaust obviously meant that eventually many more sought refuge their which was caused alot more problems.

In effect we did create Israel....I hold that by that as well......

It's not a case of thinking. It's a matter of fact.

BBC and C4 are publicly owned
ITV is a plc so is owned by its shareholders
C5 is owned by Richard Desmond
Sky - Rupert Murdoch

The Times / Sun - Rupert Murdoch

Daily Mail - Rothermere?

There is a notion, that when countries attack other countries, they are bad
when they defend themselves, they are good

On this basis Israel had right on it's side when it defended itself against Arab attacks
even though the Arabs felt they had just cause

When Israel attacked Lebanon they were in the wrong
and I regret to say when we invaded Afghanistan, Iraq and attacked Libya, we of course, were in the wrong

In this country we have made ourselves more vulnerable to terrorist attack, not less
Our Intelligence has had to deal with a considerable number of terrorists plots since our invasion of Iraq

I am not trying to be anti Semitic here, just trying to look at this fairly.
Outside Israel, the Jews have received appalling treatment

I can see why they would desperately want their own country, their spiritual homeland
the trouble is after 2000 years, there is a question of whether their claim has lapsed
because somebody else lived their now , the Palestinian Arabs
the real losers in all of this

But I think we have to step out ourselves, this is important
perhaps it will solve itself or whether it will end in Armageddon for the Middle East
I don't know
