Medusa, it's nice to see an antisemetic Nazi speak his mind.
Bashing and calling names is very intelligent.
Karaya and others, you missed the second part of the thought. SO I repeat it.
IMHO the Israeli today acts like Germany in WWII. Only chosen ones are eglible to live in the country, all the impure ("goi"s) are put to sleep or concentration camp.
I made no quote to total invasion, just about the people living on the land that is currently under question.
When terrorists hide amongs civilian populations people die just as the muj want! Every dead baby is a PR victory for the muj. Don't even get me started on the UN. . .
You got the point there. The UN started the whole thing in the first place by dividing the country to two parts.
That is the problem with assymetric warfare - there is no enemy's army on the field, waging war. There are number of terrorist hidden in public. IMHO in order to battle with this kind of enemy you have to think like them, to understand their driving ideas, so you can predict their behaviour and actions a little, understand their actings and their causes, which action is replied with what kind of reaction and so on. You have to think like the enemy to beat the enemy in their own game by their own rules.
Military force, how the Israel is using it today, is like a sword, but what is needed is a scalpel. The enemy hides in the crowd, being more than willing to sacrifice the innocent ones. Like putting some rocket launchers at the side of a village, shooting from there and when the retaliation arrives the enemy is long gone and most probably innocent die. Then the world media shows dead kids and women, making this a PR victory to the terrorists, thus creating more anger against Israel, making more Palestinian guerillas, thus deepening the war and creating more terrorists.
To beat the enemy, you do must think as they do, to counter their acts with some efficiency, bombing offending villages doesn't have any efficiency at all, as no terrorist will die, and creating more support to terrorists.
The Estonian volunteers made up a whole division, the 20th SS Waffen Grenadier Division, also called "1st Estonian".
Yes they did, and yes we fough under german flag and yes we gave the commies a very hard time, but the court of Nuremburg decided that we had nothing to do with nazi crimes, or with nazi ideology at all, and officially judged that our boys, the Legion, fought for the freedom of Estonia, against the commies. The CIC personally took the responsibility in front of court and was judged right and was let free with rest of the fellows. So shove all the nazi remarks. I surely wouldn't reccommend making these into my face.
ADDED:
The Nuremburg court was pretty strict, disregarding what I think of it, and everybody even remotely resembling a nazi was convicted. So the the ruling (that frees our men from nazi crimes) is good enough for me.
What comes to understanding the enemy, you don't have to like their ideology or their motives, but to combat them effectively you must know and understand their code, driving needs and ideas etc.
Currently the terrorists tick the Isreal by launching some rockets from an outskirts of some village, Israel airstrikes or shell the village, innocent die, creating dead babies in CNN and more support to the terrorists. It's like killing a Hydra. Terrorists prep a trap and Israel happily falls into it, making exactly what the terrorists want them to do. So more people pour into Palestina from all the regions to fight under the Hezbollah "flag", creating more terrorists, thus frequenting the attacks to civilians etc and deepening the war. This whole thing is on the "snowball roll".
