Ikio:The United nations does not regard it as a terrorist organization. Be sure of everything you type here, we are not kids that you will just tell lies too and hope we will believe it. |
tolexy007:Please tell me why I shouldn't hate a nation that has been killing innocent women and children since before christ. Why shouldn't I hate a nation with the longest history of human rights violations? Why shouldn't I hate the most racist nation that believes it's citizens are superior to me and feels I am no better than dogs? I don't hate Jews for being Jews, I hate zionists for their actions. |
Evidence and proofs are key, you can't just tell me something and expect me to believe it without proving it with credible evidence. If it is the "terrorists" that show evidence, I will have no choice than to believe them. Mind you, by all international laws and standards, hizbullah isn't a terrorist organization. They don't kill innocent women and children, it is Israel and US that do such. |
The state controlled media in Israel are not allowed to tell you that most of the rockets launched by SYRIA actually hit their targets. That was why they sent 28 jets to retaliate, unfortunately for Israel, they were only able to hit few targets, less than 50% success rate. |
Pharaoh9:I will teach you the history you don't know today. What tribe or nationality does Goliath belong to? Who are the canaanites? Why was the land referred to as "the land of Canaan" in the Bible? Yes it was named palestine by the Romans who captured it from the Jews but prior to the Jews conquering the land, it was a collection of small autonomous city States some of which are philistine, amorites, jebusites among others which were conquered by Samuel and joshua who massacred nearly all the inhabitants women and babies and animals included and keeping the Virgin girls as sex slave. This is from your own Bible but you choose not to see it. |
scully95:Please delete the word "probably". Pantsir-S1 radar is always rotating while in active condition, the video released by Israel itself showed that the radar wasn't rotating and 3 soldiers close to the vehicle taking a smoke break. |
Defensive yet they attacked more than half of the countries in the middle east, defensive yet they bombed nuclear reactors in Iraq. Defensive yet they bombed PLO headquarters in far away Tunisia, when they posed no threats to them. A year after the PLO planned a meeting in Algeria and Israel sent aircrafts to bomb the location, if not for the preparation of Algerian Air Force and Air Defense systems knowing that Israel will surely want to attack, they would have succeeded. Their intelligence Agency has assassinated people in more than 100 countries. Defensive yet they attacked the USS liberty in international waters claiming that they thought it belonged to Egypt even when the ship had the US flag floating before, during and after the attack. Perhaps you might want to explain the definition of your own DEFENSIVE. |
Any proof to show that Iranian targets were destroyed? The only proof of the attack was the video showing the attack on the Syrian pantsir. The same Russia that accurately reported that 28 F15s and F16s fired 60 air to surface missiles and land based systems fired 10 missiles are also the ones to claim more than half of the missiles were intercepted. 'It was either disabled or out of ammo': How Israelis hit the Syrian SA-22 air defense system Published time: 11 May, 2018 23:18 Edited time: 12 May, 2018 04:39 A Pantsir-S1 (NATO reporting name SA-22 Greyhound) air defense system © Evgeny Biyatov A functional SA-22 would never let a missile reach it, a former deputy head of the Russian Air Force told RT. The Russian-made system filmed getting hit by an Israeli missile in Syria was either turned off or out of ammo. Following a massive airstrike on what it called Iranian targets in Syria on Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released footage taken aboard a Spike NLOS cruise missile, which is seen hitting what appears to be a Pantsir-S1 (NATO reporting name SA-22 Greyhound) air defense system. There can be only two possible explanations for a successful strike against a Pantsir-S1: "One is that it had already used up its ammunition reserve. The other is that it was simply turned off; it wasn't battle ready," Aytech Bizhev, a former Russian Air Force Deputy Commander-in-Chief, said. "There can be no third option as it wouldn't have let itself to be destroyed… When it's battle-ready it performs constant surveillance of enemy aircraft and has a very fast reaction time. It would've brought down those cruise missiles with either its cannons or own missiles," he explained. The Israeli footage shows none of the Syrian Pantsir's weapons were even pointing at the incoming missile. The three human figures standing outside the vehicle in the video, likely the crew, also suggest that it wasn't operational at the time of the attack. According to Bizhev, the Israeli Air Force used its geographical advantage to catch the Syrian military off guard on Thursday. "No matter how well-trained your personnel is and how good your hardware is, you know that the fly-in time between Israel and Syria is zero [as the countries have a common border]. Furthermore, the Israeli F15 and F16 fighters carried out the airstrikes without entering the [Syrian] air defense area." "They approached at low altitudes then bounced from behind the Golan Heights, carried out the attack and left," he added. According to the expert, the Pantsir-S1 "requires between three to five minutes to go operational." Keeping the systems on full alert at all times is impossible, mainly because it's going to be absolutely exhausting for the crew. READ MORE: Israeli strikes on Syria raise threat of military confrontation with Tehran – Russian MP A military observer for the Gazeta.ru website, retired Colonel Mikhail Khodorenok, also pointed out that the Russian-made system wasn't in any way camouflaged or placed in a specially prepared position at the time of the airstrike. "This indicates that the Pantsir- S1 wasn't ready for engagement." Khodorenok said that incident in Syria doesn't give a reason "to question the high combat capabilities" of the Pantsir-S1 system. https://www.rt.com/news/426520-syria-israel-pantsir-russia/ |
70% of West Africa's illegal weapons are produced in Nigeria, stop the production and see how crime rate will drastically reduce. |
Come to think of it, Iran is not stupid enough to fire mere rockets at Israel when they have sophisticated ballistic missiles and not stupid enough not to deploy counter measures knowing Israel will surely retaliate, news coming out right now says Iran denies firing rockets at Israeli soldiers. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2018/05/iran-israeli-claims-fabricated-baseless-180511063809142.html |
Please note that more than half of the 70 missiles fired were destroyed in flight by the old Syrian air defense systems together with some of the pantsirs |

Distorting the timeline of events is a longtime Israeli strategy to make its enemies look like the aggressors and pass itself off as the victim. Israel’s massive aerial attacks earlier today on Iranians and Syrians — its most extensive cross-border strikes in decades — are carrying out this propaganda strategy to perfection, and even normally skeptical news outlets are being fooled. Here is the actual order of events; * Just one hour after Donald Trump violated the Iran nuclear deal on May 8, Israel launched missiles against targets south of Damascus, Syria, reportedly killing 15 people, at least 8 of them Iranians. * In response, Iran early this morning apparently struck back with 20 rockets aimed at the Golan * Hours later, Israeli warplanes attacked dozens of allegedly Iranian targets in Syria.Heights, (which is occupied by Israel since 1967 but is still legally part of Syria). The mainstream Western media is falling into Israel’s propaganda trap. Most reports are treating the Iranian rockets as the original provocation, and framing Israel’s massive air strikes as the (understandable) response. Unusually, the New York Times coverage was actually moderately less biased than other outlets, such as the Washington Post and the BBC. The Times at least noted — down in paragraph 12 — that Israel had first attacked Syria right after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran deal. Nor, so far, are the major media connecting Benjamin Netanyahu’s belligerence to his desperate need to distract from the multiple domestic corruption investigations against him and his wife — an angle some of the Israeli press is not too squeamish to note. In the excellent online publication, +972, Dahlia Scheindlin notes today that Netanyahu’s strategy is working; he “appears to have inoculated himself against looming corruption charges due to the dramatic developments on the security front.” She adds that the latest Israeli opinion polls show Netanyahu’s Likud party with its highest level of support in a decade. Larry Derfner, the American-turned-Israeli who is one of that country’s most experienced reporters, is hammering away at the truth on his Facebook page: I’ve been arguing all day against Israel’s policy of continually bombing Syria, Lebanon and Iran, pointing out that they’re not bombing us, we’re bombing them, which means we’re not acting in self defense, we’re the aggressors. . . For [people with the opposing opinion] it doesn’t matter how many times Israel bombs the enemy and the enemy doesn’t bomb back — Israel is still bombing in self-defense and the other side is still the aggressor. Why? Because Israel is Israel and Iran/Syria/Lebanon is Iran/Syria/Lebanon. Israel is right because it is good and they are wrong because they are bad. . . https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10156287770913162&id=95222938161 |
Ikio:Argue with the largest and most trusted encyclopedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinai_Peninsula https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinai_Peninsula, it is really cheap to find the truth. |
Ikio:Israel invaded and occupied Sinai during the Suez Crisis (known in Egypt as the Tripartite Aggression due to the simultaneous coordinated attack by the UK, France and Israel) of 1956, and during the Six-Day War of 1967. On 6 October 1973, Egypt launched the Yom Kippur War to retake the peninsula, which was the site of fierce fighting between Egyptian and Israeli forces. By 1982, as a result of the Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty of 1979, Israel had withdrawn from all of the Sinai Peninsula except the contentious territory of Taba , which was returned after a ruling by a commission of arbitration in 1989. As you can see from the above, Israel stole the land in an act of aggression against Egypt so they had to return it for them to have peace with the Egyptians, they almost lost in the 1973 war. Ask yourself, why is it that Israel has invaded and occupied the land of all its neighbors and on many occasions without being provided. |
Both the taking and the stay are illegal, it was first taken in an act of aggression by Israel on Syria. Between 1967 and the beginning of the Syrian Civil War , the western two-thirds of the Golan Heights had become occupied and administered by Israel. This move was condemned by the United Nations Security Council in UN Resolution 497, [2][12] which stated that "the Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golan_Heights |
Ikio:You sir, are the unwise fellow, do you know more than the United nations and all the countries of the world that agreed that the Golan Heights belong to Syria? It was illegally taken by force from Syria by Israel and international law will never recognize it as Israeli territory so Syria did nothing wrong launching missiles into their own territory. |
Ikio:The current government in Egypt is a puppet of US and pro Israel so Israel has nothing to worry about. Israel attacked Egypt in 1956 and 1967, Jordan was also attacked several times until 1994 when the country was coerced to sign a peace treaty to Israel and lose the Westbank, notable among the attacks was that of 1966. |
How many times has Syria attacked Israel in the past 40 years, how many times has Israel attacked Syria in the past 7 years to start with, when you answer the question, you will know that this isn't a case of war, it's a case of aggression. |
CaptainStephen:Propaganda! Believe me if Iran would ever attack Israel, it would be missiles with heavy payload landing in tel aviv and not rockets. Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians, this is not you being a racist, this is you being a bigot. Israel has attacked Syria over 200 times in the last 3 years unprovoked, they attacked an Iranian airbase in Syria the T4 airbase unprovoked twice, in the past 10 years alone, Israel has attacked all its neighbors with the exception of Egypt which it has attacked in the past unprovoked again and yet it is the Arabs that are mentally unstable! The brainwashing is really deep. |
A better question is why does Iran hate Israel? There are thousands of Jews living in Iran and practicing their religion in peace. What the world hate are the zionists, in fact a sect of Jews hate them. |
Fuckyoumod:You warmongers will support Israel even if they kill your parents, Israel has been attacking Syria since 2011 without being provoked using potential threats as excuse for the attacks. They have broken numerous international law and you people still shout "Israel has a right to defend itself" of course they do but not in another country’s territory, whatever happens in Syria is not Israel's business. |
unknownsolja:I am not concerned about the name given to the land, it was even the land of Canaan before it was Israel before judea and samaria. Now answer, what nation does Goliath belong to? |
unknownsolja:Today's Palestine was part of the Ottoman empire that got splintered after the second world War, if only you have but a little wisdom, you will know that raising of flags has little to do about lands and nations. The first set of people to settle in the land where the Canaanites amorites, Jebusites philistines and a host of others, Israel massacred the people and stole the land initially, they were chased out by the babylonians and most of them didn't return for close to a thousand years so tell me how the land belongs to them. |
Ikio:Please how exactly did trump fix the Korean crisis? By threatening them with "fire and fury" as his predecessors had done? By calling him little rocket man and other insults on Twitter? Or do you think it is sanctions he imposed? North Korea has been surviving sanctions for more than 6 decades now so I don't see why sanctions should make them hi for peace. They defeated US and it's allies in the 1950s when they had no nukes nor missiles so I don't see why they should be afraid now. Please do educate us on how trump fixed North Korea |
France and Britain launched 12 and 8 SCALP/storm shadow missiles respectively valued at a price of 1,052,172.50 US Dollar each, that is around $ 20 million in total. Altogether, the three countries wasted $139 million on just missiles for a complex that probably worth less than $1 million. |
The mission also involved aerial refueling tankers, surveillance aircraft and U.S. fighter jets that were tasked with escorting the bombers to their targets. And while the cost and types of the additional aircraft involved are unknown, the total number of Tomahawks and JASSM-ERs cost $119 million. |
U.S. forces fired 66 Tomahawk cruise missiles on three Syrian targets early morning local time, making for a price tag of $92.4 million for those missiles alone. The U.S. fired 19 of a different kind of missile on Syria, for a cost of $26.6 million. The final bill isn't clear, however. If US spent this amount just to destroy one complex that does not cost up to $2 million to build, Assad already won the war. Please note that this does not include the missiles launched by Britain and France, the cost of maintenance and fueling of the aircrafts and ships used to launch it and the amount received by the pilots and sailors. |
US won't launch strikes on locations without getting satellite images of the destroyed objectives, so far, only 3 buildings have been showed to be destroyed, Western journalists in Syria have not been able to come up with more than 3 photographs, My question is, how many missiles were launched and how many targets? Don't forget that Britain alone launched 11 storm shadow missiles. |
Russian Energy Minister Aleksandr Novak said the country is considering an option of payments for oil in national currencies, in particular with Turkey and Iran. According to him, both countries are interested but there is also a matter of conversion of currencies and their further use. “There is a common understanding that we need to move towards the use of national currencies in our settlements. There is a need for this, as well as the wish of the parties,” Novak said. I think the end of the petrodollar is very close, Nigeria will also be forced to trade oil in yuan as our largest buyer currently us China and they won't pay us dollars. There is a reason the price of gold is suddenly increasing and this is it. Remember the ongoing trade war between China and USA, A war is ongoing and it is an economic war. |
https://www.rt.com/usa/423621-trump-says-nothings-off-table-syria/ US President Donald Trump has said that he will decide on potential actions against Syria within 24-48 hours in response to reports of an alleged chemical attack in Douma, East Ghouta. Knowing Russia won't give up Syria without a fight, they are trying this method to push them over the edge again. Why do you think the new defense minister of China went to Russia last week to show the west Russia and China are still allies against the west. US is fast losing its global dominace and the pace will further increase when the largest exporter and largest importer of petroleum stop trading in dollars and start trading in yuan. US is trying all they can to demonize those countries in the international arena. |
