Israel prison break
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/4806714.stm
This is amusing, why even bother with extradition treaties anymore? every nation can just storm whatever prison of whichever territory they please. Infact im surprised they didn't just send in a helicopter strike. I suppose that because the PFLP didn't just send in a suicide bomber and bothered to kill a member of the government they decided to give him special treatment.
Does anyone believe the US/UK didn't collude with the Israelis on this?
btw what the hell is going on with sharon? pull the plug!

Re: Israel prison break
I thought this thread was going to be about something happy
Israel do as they please. Sadly, these things dont shock me anymore. Israel is a state founded on racism and seperation, so it's no wonder that they do as they please with the palestinians. This is pretty nonshocker compared to the other atrocies that is done down there every day
I don't know what collude means

Re: Israel prison break
The UK government asked the new Palestinian government for guarantees on the safety of their troops. The Palestinians were not prepared to give any such guarantees (im guessing there was a fair bit of chest thumpin and "You support the evil Zionist regime, we will not give you or promise you anything" , and as such the troops were ordered to pull out.
The Israelis knew they were going to go. Whether through an intricate spying network, or through being tipped off by the UK or US , they knew. And once they were gone, it was open season.
Its not like the Palestinians had anything like the firepower needed to drive off elite Israeli armored units, and as such, they did what they want, when they want, as usual.
Anyone surprised by this?

Or maybe they couldn't guarantee their safety because the Israelis can do what they want, when they want?

Lets be brutally honest here.
If theres a task force there with UK and US troops, the Israelis are NOT going to attack. They are NOT going to cause casualties on the part of their biggest allies. It is NOT going to happen.
The safety issue was most likely for the american troops getting stoned by Palestinians.
Do I think there was collusion on the part of the US & UK troops to pull out? MOst likely yes, but hey, thats international politics. Some nations get to be the daddy, some get to be the bitch.
Palestine is once again the bitch of the international community. Hamas has made it so.

Hamas is not the reason Palestine is the bitch. Palestine has been that since the birth of Israel, Hamas is pretty new compared to that.

No, youre wrong on that one Snurx. Over the years, Palestine had slowly but surely been fighting its way towards recofnition within the international community. Israel's policy towards it had become considerably less hardline.
Hamas then took power. They refused to speak to Israel. Or negotiate with anyone, anywhere, at any time.
Hamas is very much to blame.

I'm not sure anyone ever denied that the powerful can throw their weight around in a variety of manners (like this). The dispute is whether they should, morally speaking.

I've never cared about morality.
AlL I did was explain factual truth.
Perhaps you should have responded with "but Yahwe they shouldn't" rather than "but Yahwe they can't".

I never said that. The only people who used the term "can't" in the first page of that thread were yourself (saying "you can't discuss beliefs") and Alessio (twice, in relation to other matters).

If we send our troops somewhere, we are criticised.

Now, our troops leave some place, however small, and again we have people saying that it was a conspiracy.

They were civilians anyway.
It was the notiifcation of the pull out to Israel and the immediate action by them right afterward that couldn't be stopped that has people crying foul.
Basically it's leaving and shouting "my back is turned and I'm not there to stop it, do what you want".
Bollocks. Behave in a decent manner internationally and you'll suddenly find you're regarded better by nearly everyone.

Re: Israel prison break
Hmm.. I'm a muslim, an arab and a palestinean, so I think I deserve my saying in this..
(I'm not living in Palestine though, was forceed to immigration).
I don't know how can some of you blame it all on Hamas, how many times did Fath (The ex govermental admistration) tried to have a ceasefire with Isrealians? And yes, it was alawys broken by Israel first. Holding Yaser Arafat in his own office and building is considered a good think on the side of Isreal? Muslims, arabs and palestineans are just deperate of the word peace, espiecially with Isreal. They do whatever they want, and no one seems to be getting in the way. They took 'Ahmad Essadat' from the prison, a co-founder of the Libiration group (Don't know it's name in English really), in the charge of assasinating the tourisim minister 2 years ago, ohh, thank god they remembered to. This move also came after Hamas considered being a part of that Libiration group, just to get more and more support from the people. To say it's Hamas' fault is quite not fair. The Palestinean people were eager to a thought of peace, but not anymore. It's quite annoying, to see any decision almost being made by the UN to the profit of Palestine, get veto-ed by the US. Those who keep saying bla bla bla about justice and democracy, while they seem to not follow it.

Re: Israel prison break
On the point of Israel and nuclear weapons I have a book from 1982 which rates the chances of Israel possessing weapons as significantly high, they do this percentage thing and it's the highest rated country that doesn't acknowledge they possess nukes (have they actually acknowledged it even today?) So to be honest I doubt the egyptians and syrians didn't know before the yom kippur war.

Re: Israel prison break
Nobody was suggesting that they are 'hunter gatherers'.
If you are seriously suggesting that a population can continue to increse exponentially without there being resource implications then I would suggest that you look again at your understanding of the world.
I can only conclude that you are being so ignorantly contrary because you wish to nobly defend these arab peoples from what you percieve as my racist attack. If I re-assure you that I am not basing my argument on the fact that they are arabs but simply on the objective truths of population booms will you promise me to return to rationality?

Well for a start:
a) The stability of a resource is greatly increased if the resource is sourced locally.
b) There is a limit to how much of a resource can be externally sourced.
c) The resource of 'money' itself limits the ability of a nation to source resources externally.

That's not what a strawman is.
My argument is that no population boom can continue indefinately without natural limiting factors occuring thereinby ending that population boom.
My examples so far have been:
1) Resources (water, food, employment, socks, shoes, table napkins ... take your pick)
2) Human action (by the population itself)
3) Mess extermination events which are causatively linked to over population (eg. Famine and plague).

iirc the number of people using the right of return peaked in the early - mid 90s when people from the former SU used the opportunity for a better life, but has declined since. The jews in western europe - n.america seem relatively content, they may care deeply about israel but seemingly not enough to return.

Milo has already covered this, but it's worth re-emphasising : The demise of the Soviet Union was of course a one-time event and the migration of Jews from the fSU to Israel isn't going to happen again, barring some calamatious events in the United States where the largest Jewish population exists.
There will of course be drips and drab migration from Western Europe (especially if anti-Jewish attacks occur or they generally feel uncomfortable with Europe's growing Muslim population) and the United States (the children of the orthodox and so on) and possibly Latin America (Argentina mainly, due to economic problems) but I doubt it will ever be on the scale of the "Soviet" Jews migration which approached something like a million people.
Simply put, there are no more large scale Jewish populations who want to return to Israel. Which definitely can't be said for the Palestenians.
More generally, both inside Israel (and the occupied territories) and Israel's neighbours the Arab populations have a high birth-rate (I believe at one stage the Gaza Strip had the highest birth-rate in the world, although some have doubted those figures). Almost all of the countries around Israel have a relatively high birth-rate and their populations will grow enormously over the next fifty years if trends remain as they do.
So to summarise : Israel is going to be dealing with keeping down larger and larger Arab populations. Gerrymandering, atrocities, expulsions and the like will help in the short-term but they will not change facts. The cost of occupying / continual war will wear Israel down and eventually they will fall. Of course, for now (and certainly for the next ten to twenty years) they have the United States who stand unopposed in military might.

Snurx's South Africa analogy is very valid although there are obviously differences (the whites were always a small minority and the black states which surrounded South Africa were all militarily insignificant). South Africa did have an internal shift in policy but this wasn't because the Afrikaaners woke up one day and realised they had been terrible to their black brothers all these years.
Instead, it was because elements inside the National Party (and elsewhere in South Africa's elite) began to consider the costs of apartheid were too high. Compulsory military service for instance was generally disliked - remember this wasn't playing boy scouts in the Alps like many of our European cousins seem to partake - but proper military service where you could be sent to Angola or have to deal with some township rebellion in some of the worst places on Earth. I have an in-law who tried to commit suicide simply to avoid it, for instance.
The black population was growing (and migrating) far quicker than the white population and this was unlikely to change. The ANC (and co) were growing in organisation skill and ability to disrupt/boycott/harrass the authorities (payment strikes, sabotage, etc).
In addition to this, international pariah status (sanctions, boycotts, being barred from sporting events, etc) bears down rather heavily if you're living in an otherwise priviliged lifestyle. Israel is not in such a bad position due to history but it's not like they have a high degree of international support either (let's play count the UN votes on Israel & Palestine shall we?)
But the whites could have continued. They could have, instead of putting Mandela in Robben Island for twenty odd years simply shot him in the head. They could have used their military advantage to crack down much harder on "the terrorists" in the ANC. And if you speak to some white South Africans you will find many people who believe that is precisely what they should have done. Instead they struck a bargain. Negotiated transfer of power and the whites got to keep much of their land / privilige (well, for now).
There is a quote in one of the Discworld books which says something along the lines of "If you are going to kick a troll when he is chained up, don't be around when he is unchained".

Yes, and no-one is doubting this. However, your original statement (in response to my comment about Israel's destruction) said that you couldn't see this ever happening. Forever is a long time and we'd be foolish to believe that American hegemony will last that long.

Besides the fact that the idea that a nation can some how be out bred to defeat is ridiculous.
I think you're incredibly naive.
These arguments about demographic changes through birthrate effecting real political change have been around forever and never come true.
In this instance the arab birth rate is unsustainable. So your phrase "if these trends continue" make you sound like a very corrupt share dealer...
There are limited resources within these territories, food, water, jobs etc. The arabs are 'over breeding' no doubt for cultural reasons, but whenever any species (man included) over breeds in a particular area the population levels out again. Without the need for an israeli attrocity (although I expect you'll still blame israel somehow ...).
Famine or plague will come along quite naturally to cull the excess population. Or (more likely) the adults themselves will notice the diminution in resources and adapt the birth rate accordingly.

Or, and here's what they're thinking, they increase their resources! Now where do you think they might look?

From what i heard from the general news, china is doing quite a lot and some "extreme" measures to control their birth rates (i call it extreme if it directly or indirectly leads to killing infants which in case of china it seems it does). Am i misinformed or are you unfairly naming China there?

I think you're incredibly naive.
These arguments about demographic changes through birthrate effecting real political change have been around forever and never come true.
In this instance the arab birth rate is unsustainable. So your phrase "if these trends continue" make you sound like a very corrupt share dealer...

what the hell are you on about?!?!?!?!? thats the single most idiotic post you've ever made, jesus christ if you don't have anything intelligent to say...
britain's population will increase we don't talk about resorting to lol plagues and famines lol because we live in a capitalist economy where (and this may surprise you) our 'resources' aren't based on the hunter gather model. Neither are they in palestine/israel. They'll run out of resources! what berries?
you know what the increasing population will result in localised mass distortion of the earth, this will obviously obviously attract rogue asteroids that will come in and flatten the palestinians. Its all natural.

calmio relaxio my angry young friend...
population booms are always unsustainable and they naturally level out. There is also a causative link between famine and plague and over population: there is not a causative link between over population and asteroids.

The amount of food, water and jobs (or lack of ie unemployment) aren't linked to the amount of people you decide to group together into a 'nation', an administrative region or a city.
Macau is about to starve into submission and you can re-colonise it, if you think its real it is!!!!
Britain doesn't produce enough food to sustain itself, we are utterly dependant on importing produce and processed foodstuff, clearly we should be starving. Our employment isn't dependant on our total population.

There is a link between a lack of plague and the successes of the pharmecutical industry (which isn't seen in hunter gatherer tribes). There are links between famine, crop failure and poverty.
The only real limiting resource in the modern world is energy, damn those arabs for keeping the oil

It has historically been shown to be fact, FACT that asteriod impacts have had a direct impact on earth development and history, therefore ill continue my asteriodist agenda (as you call it) and show how it is both inevitable and completely natural for the palestinians to get whacked on the head by one if they keep breeding.
