    You are absolutely right. You know for a fact, during the first Gulf War, the U.S and the Nato could have EASILY captured Saddam. But, in order to suck more out of the Gulf Countries they chose not to. They left Saddam and kept flooding Kuwait and Saudi with weapons and U.S troops in order to "protect themselves" from Saddam. Gulf countries paid a good bill.

    Those in Iraq are no commandos or soldiers even. They are disgrace and should be ashamed to even call themselves men, if they just run and not stand to defend their country and people against such terrorists. They will not have North Africa and the Middle East. There are some plans currently being discussed by the Algerians, Egyptians and what is left of the Libyan Army. Even Italy is currently involved. Not to mention other African Nations. To my understanding these plans may include military action from Egypt in the east and Algeria in the west. Their time in Libya is short. Hopefully something would be done too to help the Iraqis and the Syrians.

    Got the same thing on CNN. But this is pathetic. I don't know who they are fooling. We all know that these militias are nothing similar to traditional armies. They have no bases, no distinct troops or anything that resembles an army. They move mainly, in small groups, go for a specific operation to take out there target then run and hide. Only when they have full control of a city or an area would they appear and again, they will be amongst civilians. So I really don't know what airstrikes can accomplish. They have been a total failure against such groups. It is a big mess in Iraq and all people are really suffering especially the minorities like the Yazidis and Christians.

    We have been getting some coverage here in Egypt about it. But as you can imagine, it is still very limited. I just wanted to know from a humanitarian point of view, what these people went through recently. As far as ISIS is concerned, I am quiet sure if the Yezides, the Christians or Muslims who don't follow their way will be, killed. They started with the Sunnis when they entered, then the Christians. Now they are going after Yezidis and massacred 100s. Sooner or later they will have ago at the She'as. There presence is now much stronger in Libya. I also got from the news here that they have somewhat a "mild" presence in Lebanon. I am not sure if that is accurate. Sounds possible given the crisis of Syria, but also not a simple thing given that Lebanon is much stronger on the borders now. How accurate is that?

    I know for a fact that Saddam oppressed everyone including the Sunnis who opposed him. I know that the Ottoman empire, which was the last Muslim empire that was led and controlled by the Turks, committed massacres against people who opposed them and made up laws that served their ruling. I know the Kurds were amongst those. But I never heard it from a Kurd. Like the Armenians, I know that they as a nation went through a lot.
  6. Mohammed Seif
    Bro, tell me about the Yezidis more. And tell me about the attacks on them prior to ISIS. A know Saddam oppressed you guys and the She'as too.

    Arabic, French and English mainly. You have to take a tour in Lebanon, the cities, the country side, the mountains. Go EVERYWHERE. It is just beautiful with an amazing atmosphere.

    LOL, yes you can do that and the police will protect you too . You want to debate Islam and put your arguements, you can do so as long as it is respectful. There is a difference between debating something and insulting it. Freedom means responsibility not ignorance. Again you are free to say what you want as long as you don't hurt others. If insulting Jesus in your country is ok, then that is your culture. It is a crime in ours. Simply because it builds hatred amongst people, disrespect and ignorance. People have to learn that they are not alone in this world and learn to build bridges to get along rather than plant hatred and obstacles.
  9. Mohammed Seif
    well that is your version of freedom. My version of freedom is to do anything you want as long as you don't hurt others.
  10. Mohammed Seif
    lol. So your bench mark is accepting an insult to one's faith, religion, country? What kind of non sense is this. Anyways, your head will be intact. So don't worry. But insulting religions in my country is a crime. That includes insulting ALL religions. You will go to jail for it. In your case ( a foreigner) a fine and get deported. And that is in my country, Egypt, that happens to have to the oldest Islamic institute, Al Azhar. You need to read AND travel a bit. Maybe see an Arabian country for a change. Lol
  11. Mohammed Seif
    you watch a lot of movies. Maybe a trip to Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, UAE, Bahrain, or even Kuwait will give you a good first hand knowledge other than the absolute non sense you are saying. Lol
  12. Mohammed Seif
    Well, since the so called world leaders do nothing about it, no sanctions, no actions, and only careful selected words of condemnation, then I guess there will be no Red Lines for the IDF. Pathetic and low.

    You wanna go back prior to 2006. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahr_El-Baqar_primary_school_bombing There are many more in 1956, 1967-1973. You can check all about Port Said, Suez City, Ismailia and other cities on the Suez canal.

    Come on guys. I support Salah but not at the expense of his teammates. The second half of last season Oscar had more than his fair share of criticism. They are both young and will not always perform well. Salah and his fans (including myself) should really accept criticism when he doesn't perform. Last game was "ok" for me. But the previous three were just bad. Oscar started last season well, but dramatically lost his form in the second half of the season. So let us give him a break and see how he performs throughout this season.

    Things will definitely not come out of the Arab league. But a few Arab countries.
  16. Mohammed Seif
    I kind of disagree with you there. They all did condemn it, but they don't want to give legitimacy to Hamas. You know that Hamas had no legitimacy on Egypt in the days of Mubarak. In a nutshell, because they starting killing soldiers on the borders and due to what they did to Fateh. On the other hand, as you accurately said, Qatar is trying to make a name for itself. You probably also know that there were plans to break down KSA through the militants in Yemen. Hamas are being funded by Qatar like you said. Hezbollah provided the training while Iran provide the weapons. Now look at the Gulf region, Iran constantly threatens the gullf countries and it has warned before that the first thing it will do if attacked by the U.S is fire at the oil fields of the gulf. So things are pretty much intertwined here. The only weapon the Gulf countries have is oil. Whatever billions are spent in weapons is accurate. But by all means this is not spending for war. Qatar who spent 11 billion dollars this year to but weapons from the U.S wasn't because they need it as a military. Invading Qatar will take 24 hrs tops, just like Iraq invaded Kuwait. They did it in half a day. Qatar gives these weapons to different groups. Hamas is one, but also you should take a look at Libya. The militants are getting their weapons from Qatar. KSA on the other hand were heavily funding the resistance in Syria when the revolution turned into a civil war. So don't be fooled by the money they spend on weapons. There will be no war without AT LEAST Egypt. And you know how passionate the Egyptians feel (as people) about Palestine. But that simply will not happen now because of that peace treaty. I agree with you that we are all partners in the crime. But not for long. Look carefully at the region. Somethings are changing. A power is rising. And it is getting unprecedented political and financial (economical) aid from a lot around it. The few upcoming years will flip the situation upside down.
  17. Mohammed Seif
    Sure, Arab Muslim countries are the candidates, but you have to look at their current economical status and military power. The strongest military countries are Egypt and Algeria. Before it was those two plus Syria and Iraq. Still they weren't that strong, but sufficient enough to cause damage if united with Egypt and Algeria. 25% of the Arab population are Egyptian. Iraq is lost so is Syria. So out of the Arab countries two are still capable only. Now Let us look at Iran like you suggested. Iran has one of the strongest military power in the region. Economically devastated. They are capable of defensive operations but not an offensive one. Even of they do have the capability to attack. The U.S have been targeting Iran since they removed the Shah of Iran. Just before the U.S turned its back on Iraq, it aided them to enter a long 8 year war with Iran in 1980. It was a chemical warfare btw, where the U.S aided the aggressors at the time (Iraq). That failed and they have been waiting since to figure a way to dismantle Iran. That was actually one of the main reasons Iran seeked nuclear power because it is feeling constant threat. Now Iran is being portrayed throughout the world as a major threat, not only to the region but to the world. Can you imagine what would happen if Iran fires a bullet towards Israel? Do you know how many countries will attack Iran? Not only will Iran fail to defend Palestinians, it will fail to protect itself. Fighting Israel means fighting more than one country. It means atleast fighting Israel and the U.S. So by all means it is not a simple decision. But, if you observe carefully, things are about to change within the next decade or so.
  18. Mohammed Seif
    First of all it is not a religious war, so the terminology is somewhat inaccurate. It is not some sort of crusade. But let us look at the region. Which "Arab Muslim" has an army capable of fighting Israel? No more Syria, no more Iraq. There is only one country that has the military capability to take on Israel and that is Egypt. We have a peace treaty with Israel so that can't happen. You also have to know that if Israel is attacked by a "proper army", other countries will join with Israel, That was the case in 1973, where the U.S sent in planes with fighters. A war with Israel means a war with atleast two or three countries. I don't think the U.K will sit and watch. Some sort of coalition will be formed to defend Israel. You need more than one army. If Egypt didn't have the treaty, things might have been different.
  19. Mohammed Seif
    Well Fernando, your ideology and calling others the devil doesn't really help that hate thing, assuming that it is hate. Anyways, we will see in the future how this works out. I didn't say Israel as a government wants peace as I saw nothing but claims. But what gives me hope is that many Isreali citizens are for that two state solution. You and I know well, there is a huge difference between what the people want and what governments interests are. I do hope it turns out well in the end for both nations.
  20. Mohammed Seif
    Fernando buddy, you haven't answered my question. Why do the closest allies of Israel, agree on some state solution for Palestinians if they are terrorists as you say? Why are there resolutions for that?
  21. Mohammed Seif
    It shows more and more of ignorance from your side and continuous attempts to evade points and jump from one subject to another. The link was to answer the point you made about the 1967. It was to point that Iraq was not involved and Egypt did not fire anything against Israel. It was clearly not an attempt to say that people did not resist occupation as I told you many times that people will keep trying to get their land back. It was to clearly indicate that Israel wants to invade other countries. Now, just a proof that you are fishing and trying to take bits and pieces, here is the entire paragraph that CONDEMNS ISRAEL. But ofcourse you fail to understand that as you have demonstrated. However, U.S. efforts to preserve the regional balance of power were soon undermined by Fatah and other Palestinian guerilla organizations, which began attacking targets inside Israel. The Johnson administration tried to intercede with Fatah’s Syrian patrons and to prevent Israeli retaliation against Jordan, from which most Palestinian raids were launched. U.S. officials worried that Israeli reprisals could undermine Jordan’s King Hussein, who had secretly agreed to keep Jordan’s strategically crucial West Bank a buffer zone. In November 1966, when the Israelis attacked the West Bank town of Samu‘ , the Johnson administration voted for a United Nations Resolution condemning Israel, admonished Israeli officials, and authorized an emergency airlift of military equipment to Jordan. i.e. the Jordanian government was actually seeking to contain this to create a buffer (safe zone ) for Israel. Dude, you are getting nowhere. The same " old, it is all their fault " statement seems to suit you. As I told you, fine by me. You can't manipulate much. Maybe you can now explain, why the world, even the allies of Israel, realize the right for a Palestinian state. They are their allies right? The U.S is one of them. Maybe you can also tell me which country opposes any sort of peace solution for the Palestinians might that be a one state or two state solution? Polls show that Israelis are for it. I have no clue on what basis you place your arguments.
  22. Mohammed Seif
    Regarding the first point, it is public and in UN resolutions. What Israel has been doing as far as the settlements is has been condemned. The media doesn't focus on it, but it is there and ignored by Israel. As far as the second point is concerned I am afraid the answer to too complex. But simply speaking the Palestinians don't have the means to remove Hamas. Personally I would like them removed.
  23. Mohammed Seif
    That is an interesting point, I was hoping it can be discussed. The one state versus the two state solution. You don't think that the one state solution is eutopic? I mean such a solution, the clearly ideal in a democratic frame, is hard to achieve. It means the people in Israel have to actually approve this or vote for this because they have their international legal rights for self determination. We know that the basis for a Jewish state according to zionist is that the majority of state would be Jewish. A one state solution blows that out of proportion for them, hence they will never agree to this. Can you explain more?
  24. Mohammed Seif
    NOOOOO mate. How did you get that? There are agreed borders for the West Bank and Gaza, with east Jerusalem as the capital for Palestine. That is simply the two state solution. Israel keeps building settlements though within these agreed borders. They are asking Palestinians to give up more land. No one talks about the 1948 border!!!. You can't solve the problems of Palestinians by creating problems for Israelis. That will not be a solution.
  25. Mohammed Seif
    LOL. I am not using the Arab's point of view. I am using the west's point of view. So that arguement about "side that doesn't like Israel" is non sense. As per Ecuador, I assume you didn't just ask your invaders to give you back your land politely. And as far as "terrorism" is concerned, the ex foreign minister of Israel describes such behavior from Israel as "terroristic". Strong coming from an Israeli politician if you ask me.
