jukel123 8,017 Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Half arsed THL opinionated geriatric reporting. What an unresolvable situation. Israel is America's military base in that region and has licence to do what it wants. America tut tuts occasionally, postures a little, bungs a few dollars to the Palestinian relief effort and donates ten ten times more to the Israeli war effort. Add the petrol of opposing religious beliefs, plus territory disputes where each side views each other as less than human, and you have a situation which will continue to sizzle and simmer. I've written to both Netanyahu and Hezbollah asking for restraint. My shares have just begun to pick up and I don't want their actions to send them into a nosedive. No reply as yet. Selfish b*****ds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,690 Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 Think it was inevitable that other regions would get drawn into this conflict how it ends I can't imagine. What scares me is the amount we have in this country who are sympathetic to this conflict on the side of the terror groups like Hamas and Hezbola. 5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think anyone's sympathetic towards these groups? Just the thousands of innocent Palestinian's that have been killed? 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I worked for many years on the KAAIA airport and Prince Sultan airbase in Jeddah , Saudi Arabia , I also worked on the Saudi Air Defence Centre outside of Riyadh for Lockheed Aircraft, seconded to the Royal Saudi Airforce. The Americans had AWACS and C130 aircraft based there. I worked on the C130 program. They also have bases in Bahrain, Qatar, Oman , Kuwait, Jordan and a huge presence in Iraq. Incirluk in Turkey is one of their biggest bases. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,815 Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I remember a spitting image sketch where Israel was trying to put out a fire by throwing buckets of petrol on it....an odd bucket from America and an odd bucket from Iran. Fck knows what's going to happen. We shouldn't be on either side. The devastating attacks on Palestinian civilians is disgraceful will create 'terrorists' for another couple of generations that will further the problems. Terrible. The political left is furthering it's unholy alliance with Islam which will increase the Islamic takeover of the west 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
