That is a silly claim(responding to the line you quoted) and one often used. Israel coulden't wipe out the Palistinians openly without loosing the support of Americans, and they need our funding.
Israel has no intention of conquoring the middle east, that dosen't mean the arn't doing horrid things in the OT[/QUO
it might be silly to u but its the truth ... n how do u know wat intentions they got.. ur problem is that ur not lookin at the whole picture.. n since when american cares about the plai... " since u said losin the support of the americans * why would they lose it.. thats part of the whole plann.. salamz
I wasen't callig anything you wrote as silly, liveing in Michagin I'm sure you know a typical neocon argument aghinst Israeli atrocities in the OT's is to claim that Israel could wipe openly slaughter the Palistinians if the wished to so therefore they must not be doing much that's to bad in the OT's.
While that is probably true militairly, gross military power isin't the final determinate on what a given nation can do.
I can't be sure, however given the tramendous PR work Israel does in the US I'd be willing to bet they care somewhat about their image here?
