Does anyone really think Israel can win in a pissing match with Russia? I certainly don't. Putin's not nice.

Sorry it wasn't verbatim, you can split hairs all you want. The intent is obvious.
Your 'lie' is a lie...

Seems to confirm reports of Israel's involvement in Ukraine earlier on.
Just as a start, you guys want me to continue at great length?
Since the Palestinians can't cause mass casualties or other atrocities in isreal any more.
They sit back and launch rockets into isreal.
Only after many thousands have been launched, does isreal respond.
In fact this thread is basically a who's who of those I disagree with regularly on ATS.

maybe that is part of the plan, isreal being snubbed and seemingly at odds with the US, allowing them to undertake operations that doesn't land directly at the door of the white house.
2 countries that won't back down. I don't see it going well for the IDF if the Knesset doesn't.

I think your giving the current administration way to much credit when thinking Obama would actually do this, as he has already shown his backbone...which is none, which makes me wonder how he stays erect.

Lol wow, there sure are a lot of isreal bashing prorussian folks all in one place.
Too bad I had to show up to ruin all the back patting and gleeful smiles.
First most, not all of you guys are batstuff crazy.
Isreal has not once launched a preemptive strike against the imaginary nation of Palestine.
They have suffered prolonged attacks sometimes for years before they counterattack.
Don't even throw out the lame isreal attacks hospitals, or the Palestinians only attack isreal because they live in an open air prison idiocy.
The Palestinians use ambulances as troop carriers, and schools and hospitals as weapons storage depots.
So when isreal attacks these legitimate military targets.
The Palestinians can say "look the evil Zionists bombed a hospital!!!".
As far as the Palestinians being trapped in a giant open air prison.
It is of their own making.
There was once no walls, travel was quite free between the 2, and the Palestinians caused many many many tragedies inside isreal.
Bus bombings, bombing markets, just pulling out guns and spraying in crouded streets.
Since the isrealis put up the walls and began restrictions on traveling to isreal for the Palestinians, this has completely stopped.
Since the Palestinians can't cause mass casualties or other atrocities in isreal any more.
They sit back and launch rockets into isreal.
Only after many thousands have been launched, does isreal respond.
In response they bomb the sights where the rockets come from, which is usually a residential neighbor hood, with many civies.
At thus point all you Jew haters pipe in with your "isreal is evil, look at all the civies they just killed!!!" Bs.
When in fact the Palestinians are just using simple minded useful idiots that believe them firing from a civie neighbor hood doesn't make it a legitimate military target.
If this was happening to Russia, well think Chechnya.
They did that over basically nothing.
If they were under constant assault like isreal, they would have already "cleansed" the Palestinians from the land.
Just as a start, you guys want me to continue at great length?
I can and will.
In fact I argue with mist of you guts here a lot, you know I will.

Just missing the winning cheese guy.
I remember my own upbringing around the founding of the state of Israel. What an excitement it was to hear of a homeland for the Jews! I did not learn or know about other people already living on that land. I did not learn or know about their dispersal. I did not learn or know that the beautiful orchards of trees being planted by the Jewish National Fund were atop gravestones in Palestinian cemeteries. I doubt that my family nor the rest of the Jewish community knew any of these things. It is only in recent years when I have opened my own mind and heart to other possibilities, to read, to listen and to inquire, that I have learned otherwise. I went to Israel-Palestine to see for myself and I discovered the Nakba, the catastrophe, that occurred while we were busy celebrating the founding of the new Jewish state.
It was not easy to accept. Doubt and questions slipped off of my tongue. I felt quite defensive and embarrassed to think of such a reality, a people driven out from their homes where they had thrived, tilled their land, grown their crops and built their cities, a people turned into a refugee population, no longer free to return. I remember meeting with others at that time of awakening, all of us in some way ashamed – ashamed that we didn’t know and ashamed at the behaviour of our people – somehow feeling responsible for what we now knew were acts of occupation and colonization. It is still hard to this day for me to understand such treatment of one human to another, coming from a culture that so values social justice and Tikkun Olam, the healing of the world. Surely, my brothers and sisters know that “taking over” and “kicking out,” imprisoning and putting up walls, destroying homes and digging up trees are the very opposite of our Jewish teachings, the opposite of how we learned as children to get along together, respect each other, share whatever space we may have, and to always speak up for the liberation and freedom of all people everywhere./
The modern state of Israel is synonymous with the hatred and discrimination they were escaping from.

Israel knows they wouldn't be able to take on Russia and I'd certainly hope neither country would be dumb enough to take the other on.
However, with the way things are going lately on the world stage I certainly won't be surprised when something gives.
