Go Israel

[somerfrost]

Well, two things...there will be no uniting of Arabs worldwide against Israel, that's an empty threat. secondly, Syria would stand no chance against the Israeli army...none, zip, nada! I mean really, Syria fighting a conventional war, defending themselves instead of brainwashing others into doing their fighting for them??? Wouldn't last but a couple days! Iran would be a lot tougher, rough country side coupled with actual fanatics...but the result would never be in doubt!

lets make it clear that the Israeli army is basically a branch of the US military. Lets make that clear. a couple of billion a year over the last fifty will give you some pretty sweet little gadgets.

I love how someone who claims to be "further left than anyone on this forum" speaks of war as if it is some kind of sporting contest. I love how someone who claims to want to "compare IQ scores" could come across as being so utterly ignorant.

I don't think that there is any contradiction about someone who leans left being a strong supporter of Israel. It's basically a non-partisan issue. Israel has strong bi-partisan support in both the House and the Senate.
With regard to your contention that some people sound like they are pro-war, nobody likes war, but there isn't any alternative when you're dealing with terrorists.
