I cannot see how the author's idea that Hizbollah's money comes from one specific source (say, zakat) and not the other (say, Iran) might be verified. I would think that the true money sources are very well concealed/disguised. Consider the multitude of financing schemes described on www.fatf-gafi.org. Apart from citing a certain Prof. Simpson on this subject, no arguments are provided. Author's boast of knowing the exact method only shows his incompetence. But let's assume that money has legal, non-Iran sources. The problem of purchasing the weapons remains. Who exactly sells the weapons to Hizbollah for their "clean" money? Author tells …

Cabdriver wrote >> What the Palestinians were offered was three major cantons separated physically by Israeli salients containing Jewish settlements which protrude deep into Palestinian territory utterly destroying the continuity of the West Bank and thereby its viability as a state. >> Utter bullshit. For starters, check Wikipedia, "Camp David 2000 Summit" entry. Don't start to wail about its credibility - if you have anything better, just post a link. >> The building of the separation wall has made matters even worse and has destroyed the viability of the Palestinian economy creating total dependency of Israel and outside donors. >> Now, …

cabdriver, let's stick to the facts. >> Both the ICJ and an Israeli High Court have declared the Wall a violation of international law as is the occupation itself. >> The Israel High Court (there's only one) never deemed the Wall illegal. Only certain parts of it were subsequently rebuild in accordance to its rulings. Which was done, sit tight, after palestinians had filed appropriate complaints. I'd like to see an Israeli filing a case and winning it in their court. However we went astray from your original idea that the Wall ruins PNA's economy. >> It has usurped over one …

Cabedriver, I see that we have rather diverged from our initial discussion of Iran's ties to Hizbollah. If you wish to discuss israel's politics as a whole, well, no problem, but please do not raise new issues before we have dealt with the old ones. As for now, instead of answering my arguments, you simply introduce new issues, which is hardly a way to get forward. So I'll try once more to answer, but don't bother to write if you have nothing to contradict what I'm saying. >> The ICJ, on June 9, 2004, decided that ... >> I had to …

cabdriver, wrote you a long post but it just disappeared. So I'll just deal with one issue at this time. >> You misrepresented what I said! The Arab League offer of 2002 did not ask that Israel admit millions of refugees and employ them in high paying jobs while giving up its security concerns. The offer was in return for a complete withdrawl to the pre-1967 lines and a willingness to discuss the refugee issue (there are still many stateless Palestinians in Camps all over the occupied territories from the 1948 War) in accord with UNGA resolution 194 III which would …

cabdriver, I do not wish to argue with you on the terms of "what was really based on what", "what they really wanted to say" and "what I think they would settle for". It's absolutely unprovable and can be the other way round just as well. I'm showing (or should I say shoving) you the facts, the exact wording of the documents. You may call their meaning "vague" if you choose to, but then the arguing becomes meaningless. What exactly is vague in the resolution # 194 re refugees issue? C'mon, do some copy paste and show me where it becomes …

cabdriver, Decampe has some cute remarks about certain slogans of yours, so I'll keep it extra short this time. >> The reason the refugee resolution was left vague except for its reference to UNGA 194 III >> For me the reference is clear, and the resolution is clear. Please do some copy paste and show me what exactly is vague in the resolution wording re refugees' issue. >> The reason that the peace between Israel and Egypt and Jordan is not popular on the Arab street >> I'm not writing about virtual "Arab street". I'm writing about what's going on in …

Spinoza, citing a source that boldly states >> but not the 18 Israeli Arabs who were excluded from Jews-only bomb shelters >> does not add weight to your arguments

cabdriver, >> The Jewish forces expanded that 55% to almost 75% in a pre-planned war that they intended to wage with or without Arab provocations based on Plan Dalet-the intent to invade and conquer as much of Arab Palestine as possible! >> Pre-planned war without Arab provocations! My oh my. As I said, when confronted with facts you just think about new issues, piling more and more nonsense, but this time I will not argue with you. Boy, I really tried. No facts, only bla-bla-bla on your side. See you next time, then.
