211 [lbo-talk] Cheney pushes for a repeat scenario of the 1956 War...this time, Israel attacks Iran and US comes to Israel's rescue -- rank: 1000

As per my fears (http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20070115/001283.html) where I said: "I have my dreaded feelings about some sort of 56' Sinai War repeat, where the deal is that Israel goes in and initiates an attack on Iran, with an inevitable Iranian retaliation...at which point the US will be 'forced' to come into the fray." It now comes out that, indeed, this was Cheney's plan. Bryan ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.haa ...

216 [lbo-talk] Question for Bryan Atinsky (or anybody else) -- rank: 1000

Hey Chris, The dominant argument here regarding the situation with these Neo-Nazis in Israel seems to be of seeing them as "not really Jewish" Russians who got here on a technicality of the Law of Return which says: "the rights of an oleh [immigrant] under any other enactment, are also vested in a child and a grandchild of a Jew, the spouse of a Jew, the spouse of a child of a Jew and the spouse of a grandchild of a Jew, except for a person who has been a Jew and has voluntarily ...

218 [lbo-talk] 66 Israeli troops wounded in Qassam strike on base -- rank: 1000

Second...pure speculation on my part, but it would fit the the typical pattern of the Israeli military/government, where more affront is taken when its "our" military troops that are hit than when it is mere civilians....watch for the large ground operations to come now in response... "Many of the troops were lightly injured, suffering from minor injuries ...
