In reply to the discussion: Putin Hints Russia Will Clip Israel’s Wings Over Syrian Skies [View all]7962

Thats life. Tough shit for them. As I mentioned before, Israels OTHER neighbors have made peace with them and there has been no trouble for decades. Why? Because people like the King of Jordan are smart enough to know where the future lies.
Isnt it funny how none of the neighboring states ever offer land to help create the Palestinian state, while Israel is supposed to? After all, Much of Jordan was "Trans-Jordan" in '47. No one offers to give them any land because they know they'd be asking for trouble.
Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia all have proven that there can be peace. If you WANT it. Hamas & Hizbullah dont.

The Russians have their own counterbattery capabilities. Israel can't just lob shells now.
