Reflecting on the Ferguson events. Here are 40 minutes you must watch

An Israeli soldier speaks out

Terrorists from Ghmam village north of Latakia shelled a vegetable market and a residential area in Latakia (Zira’aa)killing 5 people and wounding 32.
next time any of you wonder why rebels lost support remind me to throw an electronic shoe at him.

Those poor refugees (and Jordanians) caught in that vortex of unintended consequences. Wonder if we can extrapolate to reconsider the U.S./ Mexican border closing.

1. ZIAD

I carefully read all points mentioned against Israeli army. Almost all practices can be put on Assad milicias.
Very sad indeed.
Will you boicott Assad, Iran and Hizb Zballa too ?

It is pay back time for Jordan.
They should have known better when they contribute to the training and arming of extremists in the early days of the mess in Syria.
It would help the refugees more if they stop those peodophiles coming from the Gulf to marry and slave under aged Syrian girls from the camp.
It would help the refugees more if they prevent Jordanians for using Syrian children as a cheap labour forces in their factories and shops.
It would help the refugees more if they coordinate their efforts of reconciliation with the Syrians authorities to facilitate their return home.
Jordan is a beggar state and now it has a good excuse to expand this activity.

The west has turned the world into a fearful place unfit for a normal life! the world has become brutal and scary. F*ck Your western civilized-Brute World gentlemen.

Hi Ziad! glad to see your participation.

Lebanon: The situation is heating up
http://journal-neo.org/2014/08/15/rus-livan-obstanovka-nakalyaetsya/
“We call on the international community partners to carefully and objectively evaluate an extremely dangerous trend that is clearly emerging in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. It is necessary to abandon the practice of double standards and to refrain from taking steps that do not lead to deterrence, but rather to the capacity of terrorist and extremist threats in the turbulent region of the Middle East. Authorities in Damascus, Baghdad and Beirut are facing a common danger, the spread of international terrorism, which does not recognize international borders and seeks to subjugate new territories” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

SANDRO LOEWE said:

“Will you boicott Assad, Iran and Hizb Zballa too?”

The current Syrian government has a lot to respond for in torture, brutality and corruption. It made many mistakes, like following a globalization path in the economy and trusting the Turks as friends and allowing them to feel as if Syria were a Turkish protectorate.

You do not seem to recognize that the current Syrian revolution is not about stopping torture, but about who gets tortured. For me this revolution seized to be, if ever it was, a popular uprising for bread and justice. It is one episode of a zio-neocon plan to destroy the Arab Middle East to allow the long-term existence of Israel. We see the results of the other episodes in Iraq and Libya. It is shameful how many Arab countries and Syrian nationals are playing along. According to some estimates there are hundred thousand fighters fighting the Syrian army. Have you asked yourself who is providing them with food and arms, and weather the providers are doing it out of love to the Syrian people?

As for Hizbullah. There demonization is part of the plan to stir sectarian emotions. I have the greatest respect for it. I fail to hear a single sectarian word uttered by Nassrallah. In my opinion, they are taking the right side and fighting cleanly. Both cannot be said of the other side.

Many ex regime haters like myself came to recognize that the only way for Syria to remain a unified and viable state, is for the Syrian army to be victorious.

Sandro, you are free to think what you want and I respect you for it.

Iraq crisis: How Saudi Arabia helped Isis take over the north of the country

5 died so we should forgot the 3oo,ooo regime butchered.

just like a regime apologist to threaten to electrocute someone who disagrees with him.

shorter zaid:

“syrians have to be sacrificed and massacred so israel can be punished.”

Alan, not seeing how a dictatorship has provoked the death of 500.000 people and created chaos all around may be a mental illness.

Yes, I said 500.000 people, or do we have to believe that from January 2012 until now the number of 100.000 has just increased to 170.000 ? Only in one week last month 2.000 known people died. Only yesterday some 100 people died.

Sandro!
Where these numbers? in Afghanistan? Pakistan? Libya? Who is the dictator? Netanyahu? Sahak Shvili? Kings of the Gulf?

/Western governments traditionally play down the connection between Saudi Arabia and its Wahhabist faith, on the one hand, and jihadism, whether of the variety espoused by Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda or by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s Isis. There is nothing conspiratorial or secret about these links/

Proof that all of this barbarity is born and bred by the regimes of the region without exception and that sectarian hatred has taken root.

As one of my friends with very astute observations said
1. It is time for Israelis to pack their bags
2. Our way of life is finished forever in the West
3. OBL will look like a choir boy compared to what is coming

Alan & Ziad here’s something for you from Penny. The west is as evil as they come. Yes, Syria did some torturing the cia use to drop of people under contract before this mess started.

Because the time factor is very significant,China and Russia need to think 24 hours a day, how to move the fronts to the depth of opponents to deplete their forces and capabilities! it’s time to take the initiative to work in depth of behind the scenes aggressors.
I am surprised at how the Arab world looks at ISIS as Takfiri Islamic forces, but in fact , they are non traditional NATO forces.
Glory for brave Syrian Arab Army

The ISIS Crisis and the Fall of Maliki

Caleb Maupin is a political analyst and activist
….
The hope for the region lies the refusal of the Syrian people to surrender, as community militias and Hezbollah fighters stand alongside the Syrian Arab Army against the US backed terrorists. Hope lies with the Islamic Republic of Iran, a stronghold of economic independence and anti-imperialism. Hope lies with the united efforts of Iraqis to defeat ISIS, and break down the ethnic and religious divisions fomented by the west. Hope lies with the people of Palestine, who are standing united and resisting in the face of Israel’s effort to completely wipe them out.

The mass suffering in the region has been created by the intervention of the west. It is the various efforts to break free from western economic control that point the way out.

Robin Williams’ ‘Aladdin’ quote inspires Syrian rebels

“To be free. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world,”
http://nypost.com/2014/08/16/robin-williams-aladdin-quote-inspires-syrian-rebels/

Isis was targeted by syrian AF and Kurdish fighters yesterday in a fierce campaign that was the largest since the beginning of the war, opposition sources claimed that ” foreign jets” took part in the bombing but I have not seen a confirmation of that in western press.
Aksalser allowed comments that praised the operation reflecting a shift in public opinion due to a late realization that Isis must be stopped at all cost. Kurds claimed that they took control of Mosul Dam and SOHR reported that Isis suffered heavy losses in Raqqa and Dayr Azzour. One regime news outlet went as far as declaring that the war to take back Raqqa has started. Two elements are still missing: the cooperation of Turkey and a political decision by non Isis / non nusra rebel leaders to accept a cease fire with the Syrian army after the fall of Mlaiha. Signs of the willingness of KSA to end their support of rebels are all over the place but what it unclear is at what price and under what conditions.
It is tragic that much of Syria had to be destroyed before big players call it a quit, I like many Syrians believe that the main goal of the war was to destroy Syria and topple the regime to weaken Iran and hizbullah. The regime was not toppled but the destruction took place, now we have an unpopular regime and a country in ruins half of which is under the control of Islamist terrorists. You know it is over when the only horses in the race are Isis and the Assad regime.
?? ???? ? ???? ????

Why should Israelis “pack their bags”?

So far, Israelis protects themselves pretty nicely.
Islamists never target the strong, but the weak and the unprotected. Arabs will be IS first targets. Israelis will be among the last, if at all.

Will you boicott Assad, Iran and Hizb Zballa too ?

Sandro Loewe,

Because joo and Israeli hate is so inbred, magnified and exaggerated, arabs/muslims killing other arabs/muslims doesn’t seem to get any attention from the boycott crowd. Go figure.

Last week, the Obama administration latched on to the plight of Iraq’s Yazidis who were being persecuted by those awful ISIS folks – just in jolly good time to divert attention from the massacre in Gaza.

Obama: you are a coward and stupid. and I think you’re the last president of the United States. Syria will break your back. You’re bluffing in Iraq when Israel committed a great crime in Gaza. you are the arms supplier of ISRAEL. will stand in the same place with the Israeli command in an international court as war criminals! we will hang you for the testicles!

Alhan’s Anti-Zionist Missile Comparison Research Paper due Aug. 18, 2014

Ahlan,

How many missiles did the Yazidis and al-Sheitaat tribe fire on the poor ISIS head-choppers?

For comparision, the poor Gazans fired about 3000 missiles into Israel this year.

Akbar,

Let’s compare oranges to oranges shall we. If the poor gazans fired 3000 poorly made inaccurate missiles that mainly moved some dirt around, how many missiles and bombs did the poor israelis fire at gaza?

25. sami said:

Sami,

You’re right. An oranges-to-oranges comparison doesn’t apply because the ISIS Islamofascists were not threatened all all by the two groups they massacred. That was my point. The Syrian tribe as well as the Yazidis didn’t have ANY missile technology at all. So where are the BDS heroes when it comes to dead arabs who aren’t killed joos? Maybe you know?

As far as the GOI’s response to missiles, we will have to agree to disagree. If 3000 missiles landed in the middle of Utah, I’m afraid the US gov’t (or any gov’t) would not be so kind. And if there is any indication, the US, Turkey, Syria, Iran and all the ME players have killed far many more innocent civilians in the region.

I hope Hamas learned their lesson like HA did, but I doubt it. There is no competing political party in Gaza.

With all that and yet you still did not answer my question. How many missiles and bombs did the poor israelis fire on gaza?

Islamofacsists are not so different from judeofacsists or chrsitian fanatics. They all prey on the weak and all these idiots give their respective religions a bad name. Bringing them into the discussion is just meandering from the question at hand.

Excuse Me, but your Bias is Showing NewZ

With all that and yet you still did not answer my question. How many missiles and bombs did the poor israelis fire on gaza?

Sami,

How about 4,762 versus 3,360 missiles fired at Israel? Is that too many? What should the limit be?

Here is where I got the numbers:

http://www.idfblog.com/blog/2014/08/05/operation-protective-edge-numbers/

Islamofacsists are not so different from judeofacsists or chrsitian fanatics.

Really? Which arab country (Egypt or Jordan) offered the Palestinians their own state when they occupied Palestine? How many heads have the Christians and Jews sliced off of innocent (or guilty) arabs? Which Christian and Jewish-led government is run by an un-elected murderous despot? And lastly, which Christian and Jewish-led terror organization is forcing people to adhere to Christian or Jewish law or face death?

Anyway, you may understand my opinion better in arabic. Wafa Sultan does a fairly good job. You may want to pass this link to an Hamas supporter.

Again, you do a fantastic job in distracting from the question and not actually answering it. How many bombs and missiles did Israel launch at Gaza?

Sami,

I told you, 4,762. What number do you have?

It claims to be a “struck” target. Not how many times it was actually struck. And anyone looking at the aftermath of the Israeli onslaught would say it is a lot more than just 4700+ rockets and bombs. Not to mention the artillery and heavy armour barrages…

And yes, one rocket from either side is too many but while one side is using crudely homemade missiles that just moved dirt around (these rockets are so inaccurate that they hit Gaza 475 times which comes out to 14%) while the other side is using so called smart bombs that level entire neighbourhoods and its done so in the name of fighting terrorists. (kinda like what Assadists say when they barrel bomb civilians)

And I don’t have that number since the Israelis would never release it because it would show how much of a hypocrite it is if it did so.

I dont know if this video of VICE was published here yet, I urge all to watch this.

Sami,

I assume that number also reflects the number of projectiles fired. Wars aren’t exact science. And how many of the Gaza dead were combatants, again, this is something Hamas isn’t going to share with us.

Also, I don’t care how accurate or inaccurate Hamas missiles are. They are fired into Israeli population centers like Tel Aviv, they are longer range, and the war heads are larger. If it wasn’t for Iron Dome, the death and destruction would be a lot worse. No coutry would stand for it, and Israel is no different. Moreover, the tunnels into Israeli territory were a direct threat as Hamas was using them to terrorize Israel.

I really don’t care if someone supports the Palestinians or if someone supports the Israelis. We all tend to support the people we associate with. But if you want to support Hamas, who has wasted their time, energy and money digging miles and miles of tunnels, risked the lives of people including children building these tunnels, and risked the lives and property of their own people by taking on a far superior military, then I don’t feel sorry for you or the people who elected this Islamofascist government.

Gazans would fair better if their government built a peaceful society instead of waste it all on “resistance”.

I don’t support hamas and never did. I find their rhetoric despicable and backwards.

If a peaceful society is what you aim for then try your damnest to end the occupation. For as long as Palestinians are occupied they will continue to resist.

Sami,

OK, then we’re closer in opinion than I thought. But it is not just their “rhetoric” that is despicable and backwards, it is also their actions.

If a peaceful society is what you aim for then try your damnest to end the occupation. For as long as Palestinians are occupied they will continue to resist.

Sami,

Originally, the GOI approached Hamas. This turned into a murderous dead-end, literally. Also originally, there was no blockage on Gaza, that is, until the GOI found that Hamas was importing sophisticated weaponry. And let’s remember, the blockade is something that Egypt shares with the GOI.

Gaza was emptied of joos, without any agreement in place. Farming infrastructure was left to benefit Gazans and it was destroyed. There was no occupation of Gaza since then. The remainder of the occupation is minimal. Israel and the US made proposals which were rejected by Arafat that gave the Palestinians nearly 100% of the West Bank and sharing of Jerusalem. Did Jordan offer this to the Palestinians? Did Egypt offer Gaza to the Palestinians?

Let’s call a spade a spade. Hamas and the PA are NOWHERE ready to cease claims on Israel and take the responsibility of creating a successful state. They prefer a government of conflict and donations from willing idiots.

Steve McMillan considers the future fate of the Iraqi state:

According to him, the plan to destroy Iraq as a whole goes to the finals. The militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Western-funded, provided the latest excuse for re-invasion of that country. This version of the situation allows the West to take control of Iraq’s oil reserves, while the militants ISIS will continue to tinker with impunity outrage on Iraqi soil.
