I don't have to though because I wasn't the one that stated Israel is a "loser" country.

Yeah, our planes were destroyed sitting on the tarmac. They had
been moved out of the hangars so that they could be under
constant observation. There was a lot of paranoia over Japanese
sabotage and they believed they would be safer out in the open.
Oops. We did manage to get some airbourne but nowhere near
enough to mount any kind of defense.

On the other hand, Egypt's ENTIRE air force was destroyed not just one squadron.

But I guess Egypt didn't do anything to deem that response right? I always laugh whenever people start quoting the actions of Isreal out of context without even attempting to explain the situation surrounding those actions.

I blame Isreal for NOTHING. This is a people that have spent their entire existence with various people trying to kill their entire race because of their religion. They went into Isreal, everyone tried to kill them, and they kicked their asses, AND GOOD FOR THEM. Isreal has their enemies living in their own country, not across the Atlantic ocean like us. I'd be a little trigger happy too.

You would think the Palestinians would take a hint. They attack Isreal, Isreal counter attacks with 10 times the force and takes more land... repeat for the last 50 years. Isreal even gave lands back, and Palestine decided to use that to attack Isreal more. Wow... they're brilliant.

If you really think that Isreal is whats wrong with the Middle East, you really aren't paying attention to history over the long haul. The Middle East has been battling one another for thousands of years, Isreal is just the flavor of the month if you look at the history as a whole. These are countries that have UNLIMITED RESOURCES (Oil), and many have failed to get out of the Middle Ages and tribal systems. They do not help one another in times of need, in fact they do the exact opposite. When the Taliban were removed from power in Afghanistan, who nearly all the other Middle Eastern countries hated, who fed their starving people? THE WEST. All the oil rich countries sat on their asses and askeed what we were going to do about those poor people. You make fun of Isreal when its pointed out that they have the best health care in the world, when most of the countries surrounding them have NO healthcare AT ALL. Wake up.

The Middle East will go down in history as a collosal failure of modern civilization. All trhe resources, ZERO conviction to do anything with it.

Wow, now THATS what I call going off on a tangent.

I don't know about going on a tangent , but it shows a lack of
reading comprehension. How did you arrive at the idea that I am
anti- Israeli?
I'm very pro-Israel, they know how to win a war. They knew war
was unavoidable and decided to strike first. Here's a link to some
details on the six days war.

Once again, The Strangler is victim to penchant for overreaction. Sorry about that Smuggle...
