Southwest Asian drama - kidnapped soldier is a hottie

[KRU1996]

Israel must raze Gaza, all of it, without exception. Hamas is cowardly and uses Palestinian civilians as shields by firing and storing weapons in civilian-dominated areas. Now Israel and Hamas both have military facilities (offices/storage/barracks) located within civilian-dominated areas which makes these legitimate military targets. Food and water supplies and restock lines are legitimate targets too. Hamas has a nasty habit of murdering Palestinians who openly disagree with Hamas. As a result Stockholm syndrome and mass PTSD has set in and dominates the majority of the Palestinian non-military population who are simply now accustomed to harsh living circumstances created by Hamas-created violence.
Egypt is anti-Hamas too because these guys along with the traitor Morsi tried to turn Egypt into a radically Islamic Sharia-law only state. Thankfully Egypt was saved by President of Egypt former General Al-Sissi and his followers.
Beware of Erdogan in Turkey as he tries to radically Islamicize Turkey and support Hamas. Israel and Egypt are the two main bulwarks against the rise and export of nuclear-powered Islam that is flowing through organization like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, al Qaeda, the governments of Iran and Turkey and the dysfucnctional corrupt warlordistans of Pakistan and Afghanistan that can no longer be trusted.
Western nations founded on Judeo-Christian ethics need to maintain their multicultural heritages and remember that Islam was not part of the original equation - Spain was of course dominated by Islam for 700 years as was the Balkan Peninsula and so Euro-Moors are a fact of history but never so radical as Muslim Brotherhood though these places are now susceptible as more poverty and displacement set in.

I'm afraid Palestine and Israel are nowhere near southwest Asia KRU, their area is called the Middle East. This conflict reminds me of the British/IRA conflict in Northern Ireland, where terrorists hid within communities and shot at soldiers on patrol. It is said, that the uk military wanted to go into these areas and grab the terrorists (who they knew) and finish them off - no questions asked. However, the government decided not to go down this path and so countless of innocent lives were lost.

Both conflicts are about land and religion, but the Palestinians do seem to have got the rough side of the deal, IMHO of course.

This is a good post Kru.

Again though it's posted in the wrong section of the forum. It should be on the non-site related section. Jon is also right that Israel and the Gaza strip are not in Southwest Asia. Israel, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories are usually referred to rightly or wrongly as being in either the Middle East or the Near East. They were given those designations by Europeans who saw the rest of the planet in their own unique way. While the landmass may still considered to be on the Asian continent, Southwest Asia would more likely include the Arabian peninsula or even areas such as India.

India is considered part of Asia

Back on topic, it looks as if Israel is going to continue this campaign until they crush all the tunnels and most of Hamas. Israel had better watch out, as it is in danger of losing it's allies, but I doubt if they care. They have always done what they wanted to do.

It's too bad Kru can't understand the difference between a membership thread and a general thread. Dude you need to get with the program. I don't want to encourage to keep posting general threads in the membership ares by offering any other responses.

Ben - I have given up on being the thread police because it appears people only get at KRU, when others have transgressed and when I have pointed out their transgression I have been chastised. So KRU, you now have my authority bestowed on you to post any crap you like on any part of the forum... As Nike said - Just Do It....

India is considered part of Asia

You're right of course Peter. One interesting about India is that it actually sits on a different tectonic plate from the rest of Asia. That's partly the reason why it's sometimes called a subcontinent. India used to be a separate landmass in the open ocean on its own continental shelf. But over the course of millions a years it lurched into a "crash" against Asia. The energy and force from the violent collision of the two huge tectonic plates, resulted in the formation of the Himalayan Mountains. That's where India finally wedged itself into Asia and came to its final resting position at the end of the northward thrust. So now it is considered part of Asia even though it still exists on a separate tectonic plate.

Thanks for the history lesson Tampa. I love learning something I never new.

Funny you should mention that Jon. I was watching a documentary last week on the grandson of Lionel Louge. (The speech therapist who helped King George VI mostly overcome the problem with his terrible stammer.)

I googled King George VI after watching the documentary and there was one tidbit of trivia about him that really caught my eye. That being that he was the last "Emperor" of India. The title and honorific does carry a certain cache to it. Does it not? haha

Did I say that with enough British understatement? haha
