"Israel has never attacked any other State - only ever defended herself. " - goldwater israel attacked Egypt in 1967
33. 32 Brady Bunche: I never said Israel attacked others
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.24.06)
Read - Israel always defended itself and others now you tell me where I said the oposite !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1967 it was well known that the Arab states were planning to attack Israel. President Nasser was very open about it. He had massed soldiers and tanks along the Israeli-Egyptian border. He also closed the Suez Canal, which according to international law is an act of war because it is illegal to block an international waterway. Israel's strike on Egypt was pre-emptive. If you think Israel was the true aggressor then you are blind to reality. Should Israel have sat there and waited to be attacked and risked getting destroyed?

Gabrielle (Geneva) is perfectly right and always argues seriously referring to undeniable facts of recent history. Please be polite and don't replace insults with arguments if you have some.

You deny that Israel attacked Egypt in 1967? And, I don't care if you try to justify it - like Navi # 34 - by calling it a "pre-emptive" attack. The fact remains for everyone to see that Israel attacked Egypt. How was it "defending" itself by attacking Egypt? You can't call an offensive action defensive without running the risk of contradicting yourself. He who strikes first is the aggressor.

Thank you, Navi (Canada) and other people for recalling true, historical facts.

Blocking the Suez Canal was an illegal step, a genuine act of war.
41. Brady Bunche...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (04.24.06)
We will be sure to let our governments know that even if we are threatened, openly, by our enemies, it is not Ok, to strike first. We should sit there until we lose some civilians before we can act. or better yet, we should just surrender immediately. You're philosophy is moronic at best and if leaders of countries thought like you, those countries would cease to exist. Please stick to daytime sitcoms and leave us alone.

Thank you DR, and other people for expressing meaningful, knowledgeable opinions which tally with facts that need being adressed in much the same rigorous way as some other people should imitate. We are debating such vital issues as survival of Israel and of numerous countries which are definitely attached to freedom and tolerance.
45. 1967
yakov shani ,   afula   (04.24.06)
You bet Israel attacked Egypt, Jordan and Syria, what is the argument, we make no secret of it, we actually thought about it very hard for a couple of weeks before doing so. Nasser, for no reason other than his wish to destroy Israel for his own glorification, amassed an army of 200 000 in the sinai peninsula and in a rally at one of the main bases stated to the WORLD, we will destroy Israel, he asked the UN to leave and Syria started to jump on the band wagon hoping for easy meat. Why did I say we thought about it very hard for a couple of weeks. Well, in the government and in the general staff there was a heated debate as to whether we should attack and avoid annihilation or invite them in for afternoon tea. I am so pleased that logic and reason prevailed and we attacked. That is the reason I am here today posting this response to the Brady Bunch etc. Incidentally, the Suez canal had nothing to do with it because it had been closed to Israeli shipping for years, it was and is under Egyptian sovereignty. The Straits of Tiran, or Bab el Mandab was closed by Nasser, this is international waters and the only entrance to the Red Sea, thereby blocking Israeli shipping from entering its own territorial waters. This is not only illegal by any measure of international convention. It constitutes CASSUS BELLI. Yes, I repeat, we attacked in 1967 and survived. We did not attack in 1973 and were almost obliterated. Thank you Brady Bunch and others for wishing our demise, but it will not happen. We will attack when we are threatened, and you and the world better get used to this fact. I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, ISRAEL ATTACKED IN 1967. I HAD THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND A WIFE AND A HOME TO DEFEND. GET THE PICTURE ?

Mr. Gabriel Goldwater, iam neither ignorant, nor naive, but i do believe in peace between Palestinians and Israelis, i have familly in jerusalem, you know. I look with interest on your Pipe line of hatred, it is good done but contains lot of propaganda. The Israelis consider themselves, always, as victims and imagine the whole world is against them, which is untrue. To desarm the fundamintalists, whome i totaly dispprove, just do not give them the possibility, by humiliating Palestinians daily etc...to use the palestinian problem as a pretext to mobilise people against you. Do believe me peace between Israel and the Palestinians, living side by side in two independant and democratic states is the best solution. Israel is certainely a democratic state, but occupying and humiliating another people is undemocratic at all. You suffered from Halaucaste and other opressions, you should understand the suffering of others, n'est-ce pas adoni.

Jews were never a problem in Europe,but rather they created culture and wealth. They were considered a "problem"just as a "raison"to be robbed!Nothing else!You can try many explanations ,but at the end you will reach that:robbery!And envy! About palestians,they are a true problem for Israel:they get water,light,roads,hospitals,every thing for free from Israel,and they return it in the form of quassams. They must not be even an Israeli problem,because Israel is Jewish country,for JEWS;they are arabs sucking from Israel;they are an arab problem not a Jewish problem,and it must start being understood for the international community and arab countries,because this is the right thing! About we Jews to be a light into nations,I think we don't have to wait for Peace for that,but we have to keep on being a light into nations, aprimorating ourselves always,as we've been doing,but it should be much quicker by now!

Thank you for useful, knowlegeable feedback.

Navi ,   Canada   (04.25.06)
Thank you for correcting me. I was thinking about the Straits of Tiran when i mistakenly wrote Suez canal. I thought that blocking the straits was illegal under international law, but I guess I was wrong. I also want to thank you for defending Israel.
50. i agreed with King Abdullah..
John ,   US   (04.25.06)
i think king abdullah has showed to us a great idea how we can achieve peace in middle east. i think all of us who loved peace should support it.
51. Dear Brady
yakov shani ,   afula   (04.25.06)
I have to beg your forgiveness and that of the whole world for having the effrontery and audacity to attack my enemies who wished and prayed for nothing less than my total extinction. Pleas forgive me for this act of agression but I would like to bring to your attention the fact that in 1942 America loaded a few million soldiers onto every available ship and plane and transported them to England, there they gathered on the southern shores of that country and started to undergo extensive training and planning for a massive assault on a country and people who had never lifted a finger against them. It was not only a massive assault but it was the largest army ever assembled in the history of mankind. Yes, Brady, America attacked, how unforgivable, but then you are here today to tell the tale. You know what Brady ,you are just a simple Jew hater, one of those who eat and drink all the stupid stories about the Jews running America and controlling the world. You know what else Brady, our country and our people have been plundered and raped by the Assyrians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Turks,British. These folks have either gone or their empires have gone or both. We are here and we will stay. This is our land and anybody threatening us better take into account that they will be attacked and they will not succeed in plundering and raping our land again. We will defend our land and our way of life just like America did in 1942 - 1945 even if we have to fire the first shot. So take your antisemitsm and peddle it somewhere else, maybe in the Ozarks to the hill billies or the Oakies might buy it but you thank your lucky stars that America produced giants like Roosevelt who had vision and gave the orders to ATTACK and brave soldiers like Eisenhower who knew how to ATTACK. As we will do again if need be.
52. The jordanian king
Mojgan ,   US   (04.25.06)
My dear Isreali friends , don't get all bend out of shape over the comments of your little Jordanian Puppet ! He has to bark a little to pretend that you are not his masters ! But he is not fooling anyone in the region , except may be you !
53. The Jordanian king is only making a backhanded
prophet bob ,   erehwon, amerika   (04.25.06)
slap at israeli logic. The israelis have hundreds of nuclear weapons which threaten all the nations of the Middle East and Europe. Yet the isrealis, ever the whiners, cry about the possibility of Iran developing one bomb! The neo-cons and israelis want Amerikan sons, brothers, husbands and fathers to fight their war with Iran. Their zionist media in Amerika constantly pound the drums of war. I tell ye the truth! A great awakening is happening in Amerika. The average man is beginning to see the machinations of the zionist neo-cons. He grows weary of neo-con lies and the deaths they are causing. When he realizes the full and dirty truth about who these "men" really shill for your country will face the wrath of the world alone. Even the jewish Mammonites in Amerika won't be able to control the whirlwind that will surely come. G_d be with the innocent amonst you.

Sick, in need of help.
55. King abdullah Why Don't you just tell us to kill ourselves
William ,   Houston, USA   (04.25.06)
But Israel does have nuclear weapons. Every school child in America knows it. They teach it in schools. The fact that Israel refuses to officially admit to it does not mean that it is not so. America has known it for years. How is it you think that Israel is able to blackmail so much financial and military aide out of America? Wow, you are beginning to believe even your own lies.
56. to Yakov Shani
jack ,   Australia   (04.26.06)
Yakov, how is it possible the any people can be treated in the way the Palestinians get treated and not react? Are there any words to describe the inhumanity and cruelty that they are suffering? Who are the aggressors here? Jack Australia
57. look at the beginning and the facts
jack ,   Australia   (04.26.06)
who was it that started the agressions?
58. your comments

very well done and well put.
59. A brilliant and vitally necessary first step

Here's the rest of the answer: http://auctionforpeace.org
60. here's a solution
thermite ,   USA   (04.26.06)
If Israel's possession of nuclear bombs (which they do have, crafted and stored at Dimona; so stop acting as though this isn't a documented, if thoroughly denied, fact) is merely deterrent, shouldn't the same work for others? I say that every nation in the middle east should have nuclear weapons. MAD worked for the US and USSR, right? In fact, some say that Russia has already long since deployed Sunburn thermonuclear missiles in Iran for just that purpose, a counterbalance to Israel's unacknowledged arsenal - of course, this is only to assure themselves that Israel won't nuke Iran and all that tasty oil, not some altruism involving the welfare of innocent Iranians. So why should Iran have to depend on Russia's dubious kindnesses for protection against Israel's nuclear blackmail? Let them protect themselves from Israel's theocratic expansionism via mutually assured destruction! Nukes for all!
