Oh, and some yoghurt.

Milk, Mango Juice, at least 20 different condiments, leftover rice, bread, eggs, several types of fruit. Oh, and a near-empty bottle of soda.

skythe, I’m also Israeli.
Sorry, I was very grumpy and tired.

My opinion:

Palestinians deserve a state, if they stop terror and get Arafat in jail where he belongs. My friend is Palestinian, and he’s a normal person who wants peace, too. Arafat belongs in jail because he was totally corrupt and stole the Palestinians blind. Before Israel occupied the territories, Jordan had nothing to give the West Bank and Egypt didn’t give a sh*t about Gaza

Well, that’s the opinion of me and the basic facts, ignore skythe’s neo-nationalist drivel.

For all those unaware, the British Army HQ bombing plawolf is refferring to is the bomb in 1948 that destroyed the southern half of the King David Hotel, which was the Army HQ in Israel, many died. Israel was then a British mandate

I’m Israeli.

Also, none of the nations in the region could touch Israel in a conflict. Syrias mainly Soviet or Russian equipment is poorly kept. Jordans equipment is outclassed, though they do have some credible equipment (F-16s and AH-1s), Saudi Arabias forces are too widespread (it would take weeks to plan any offensive and get logistical problems sorted), Iraq (well, Iraq is Iraq), Egypt could find itself on the recieving end of the IDF Army and Lebanon is religiously mixed.
Libya and Algeria have no real means to attack Israel (out side of a few Su-24 Fencers and MiG-25 Foxbats, and I guess some SRBMs).

Someone posted that.

I should add that Lebanon is recovering from civil war, and Jordan and Egypt have treaties with Israel. The US copies Israel on a lot of tactics.
Syria also has a brutal dictator, and brutal dictators usually have armies, and they might mutiny, you never know.
Israel has the highest military/civilian ratio in the developed world, just to give you an idea how big the army is.

Arthur-
Normal Israelis like me want peace and would not mind a Palestinian state. Many Palestinians want peace too. It’s only radicals like Ariel Sharon who are getting us into trouble. Still, I think there should be no terror. I know someone who got injured in an attack in Gaza.Nationalists can get really overboard with this, I knew someone who named their child Amiya (people of G-d).

Skythe has a good point. While the Jews suffered for centuries, so have the Palestinians. Ottomans, British, Jordanians or Egyptians.

Congee.
