Neal Rothner ,   Hashmonaim   (11.14.12)
If Israel is raciest, please answer this question. How many Jews live in Egypt and or Gaza, and how many arabs live in Israel? Neal the Hasmonean
37. Israeli psychosis of annihilation
observer ,   Egypt   (11.14.12)
did Israel's Acquisition of Nuclear Weapons Lead to 1967 War? Three weeks before the war, on May 17, 1967, Egyptian MiGs overflew the nuclear reactor in Dimona. Back in 1964, Nasser had warned the Americans that Israel's development of nuclear capabilities 'would be a cause for war, no matter how suicidal.' The U.S. assured Nasser that Israel was not developing strategic weapons, and he never renewed his threat, but the memory of it stuck with the Israelis. They never forgot the reactor's proximity to the border, its vulnerability to aerial bombardment. Thus, though Nasser never once cited Dimona as a motive for his decisions in May, Israeli commanders assumed it was and concluded that they had to strike first. Israel's fear for the reactor—rather than Egypt's of it—was the greater catalyst for war. Neither side really wanted war. The Israelis were more powerful than the Arab forces, and though Israel justly feared for its existence in the face of Arab rhetoric, Israel over-reacted to threats out of a "psychosis of annihilation".
38. Israel was first to introduce nuclear weapons to the Middle
observer ,   Egypt   (11.14.12)
Seeing the effect that nukes had on Egypt in the mid-60s is a good reminder that all people fear nuclear devices, not just Israelis. The false promise that Ben-Gurion made to the U.S. in the 60s was that Israel would "not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons to the Middle East." Indeed, Israel armed itself with nukes in part because of rumors that the Egyptians were doing so. The U.S. failed to turn down the temperature in the region then. Maybe now's our chance.
39. And the pyramids that the terrorists are threatening to
bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (11.14.12)
destroy? Perhaps Morsi should protect his tourists attractions so tourists will return to Egypt? Frankly no American ( make that money, folks, ) wont return to muslim terrorists land. Too violent too ignorant.
40. EGYPT IS AN ENEMY STATE
Barry ,   TEL AVIV   (11.14.12)
Fabricated imaginary peace is what Israel has on hand. It's more a non belligerency pact than a peace treaty . Israel should act and handle Gaza terror without even looking at Egypt
41. #38 a good thing
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (11.14.12)
Israel indeed was the first to introduce nukes to the Middle East, but Egypt was the first to use chemical weapons to exterminate civilians, remember Yemen 1963-1967? But think of it this way: Violent and aggressive Egypt has started innumerable wars, including four wars of genocide against Israel. In contrast, Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has never started a war.
42. to #41
observer   (11.14.12)
Arabs started only one war, in 1973, and were victorious then. Israelis won only one war, in 1967, because they perfidiously attacked without declaring the war.
43. EGYPT...
ej ,   tlv   (11.14.12)

Where are their laws imprisoning people for converting to Christianity or commiting so-called "blasphemy" and refusing to allow Ahmadi Muslims and Bahais to worship freely? answer:EGYPT. Where are women routinely treated like second class citizens and chattle? Answer: Egypt! NOW WHO IS RACIST AGAIN?1
44. National consciousness
Zivron   (11.14.12)
A definiytion of a Jewish person is more national psychological cultural not religious as Islam holds .This has evolved nation states superpowers sovereignties human rights military capacity a mix of indicators and influences a gravity electromagnetic chaos effect.But the one lesson Jews have learned. Horrific Military Capacity.
45. My American tax dollars
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (11.14.12)
Dear Israel, I'm very sorry that my American tax dollars are being given to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the rest. And by the way, I voted for Romney. I will continue to contribute to my favorite charities (FIDF, MDA, and Beit Halochem, etc) to the best of my ability. I'm sorry for everything going on over there. Following the news ALL the time...
46. Racist Egypt
Ronnie ,   Hod Hasharon ISRAEL   (11.14.12)
After Egypt expelled the Jews and Greeks and is now ready to destroy the pagan built pyrimids. Who are racists?
47. Observer #41 Wining the Yom Kippur War
Arthur ,   Houston, TX   (11.14.12)
Yes the Egyptian won this war. The Israeli Army Ended this war by the encirclement of Egypt's Third Army and the city of Suez. Israeli forces were 25 mi from Damascus and 63 mi from Cairo. Not bad…. WHAT A VICTORY?!!!!
48. rascism and brotherhood
ky   (11.14.12)
That name says it all. All Muslims are brothers but the rest of us are just outsiders. Another cult another name.
49. #42 Egyptian History
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (11.14.12)
1948: Egyptian forces invaded the nascent Israel, reaching as far as Gesher Ad Halom about 20 km from Tel Aviv, ethnically cleansing Kfar Darom and Bet Eshel, and bombarding civilian targets in Tel Aviv until Moody Alon shot down your bombers. 1956 and 1967 Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran and Suez Canal to Israeli shipping with the express purpose of starving the Jews. Spin it as you like, closing international waterways is a declaration of war equal to an armed attack. Add to that violation of the cease fire accords and expulsion of the monitors.
50. I will ask...
Beary White ,   Norway   (11.14.12)
the israeli ambassdor in Norway, who happen to be a muslim, if Israel is a racist state!!!!!
51. The hate to Israel make Egypt blind
Jozef ,   Wroclaw, Poland   (11.14.12)
Who killed your soldiers in the Sini? and destroyed your tourist industry? The Muslim extremists with influence from Gaza.
52. to #49 Tiran strait casus belli
observer ,   Egypt   (11.14.12)
U' Thant, the UN Secretary General in 1967, had to comply with the request to withdraw the UN observers because the force was stationed on Egyptian sovereign territory. But he also decided, on his own hook, to remove the Emergency Force from Sharm-el-Sheikh, which the Egyptians did not request. Once the fig leaf of the United Nations Emergency Force was removed from Sharm-el-Sheikh, Nasser had to close the Strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping for domestic political reasons. Imagine what would happen today if an Iranian vessel sailed down the Saint Lawrence seaway into the Great Lakes and the United States government did nothing to stop and search it. In 1956, the accusation of a blockade was "questionable," and no Israeli-flagged ship had passed through the straits in two years, and the Egyptian navy had searched a couple of ships after the establishment of the blockade and thereafter relaxed its implementation. In 1948, was occupied by UK whose forces only left Egypt in 1956, only few months before the tri-state war (Israel, france& UK). In 1948. there was no independent Egyptian state.
53. to #47
observer ,   Egypt   (11.14.12)
In 1973, over 2.800 Israeli soldiers had been killed, at least 7,500 had been wounded, and some 500 had become POWs. If the US had experienced equivalent losses in the Vietnam war, it would have suffered 200,000 American dead- a figure four times the actual number. 1-suez-cairo road was under the egyptians' control as there were full two divisions 16th mechanized and 4th armored repulsed any israeli forces tried to get closer to the road as the israeli commander who fought the war say. 2-the israeli forces were the forces entrapped as the rear of israeli wedge was under control of the egyptians as Sharon failed for three times to occupy Missouri, which dominated the heights north of the Great Bitter Lake, was important for keeping the yard and bridge out of Egyptian artillery range. Thus the israeli supply lines was under control of the egyptian armed forces. 3-the egyptian 3rd army didn't ever never got entrapped as there were egyptian forces controlling southern of the bitter lakes and was able to repulse the israeli for many times and thus the 3rd army entrapped the israeli not the israeli entrapped the egyptians . 4-Two egyptian divisions were assigned to repulse the israeli beside the egyptian 1st field army was behind them and didn't joined the battles yet. 5-It was estimated by Israelis that the 3rd army was 30000 man with 300 tanks and 300 artillery pieces. Sharon division lost most of its power and only less than 100 remained for him and Magen division was only 80 tanks. Adan was the one assigned for the main missions and engaged the main battles which is a fact while Sharon and Magen divisions weren't primary forces which means Adan's losses must be greater than Sharon and Magen divisions , and again less then 100 remained for sharon out of his division which is supposed to be 280 tanks , and less than 80 tanks remained for Magen out of his division which is supposed to be 380 tanks. so is it resonable that those israeli tanks less than 200 tanks were not able to surround an army with 300 tanks beside the 1st field army west of these israeli forces beside those two divisions 16th and 4th which was enntrapping the Israelis.
