@Ponderable saidHere are some details ;
You refer to what exactly? The East Roman Empire was fromed from splitting the Latin Empire, and then Arabs took paletsine, then the crusdaers, then the arabs again...Where do Greeks come into the game? (You might refer to Alexander, but he was about 300 years before the Romans...

@Ponderable saidThey had their own civil unrest that led to the split but it was not over Palestine, correct. If I had previously suggested that was the case then I would be wrong there.
and indeed teh Byzanz Empire was a split of the rioman empire and no wars were fought over palestine.

@Metal-Brain saidYes, and they should invade Lebanon and put an end to Hezbollah. Its like the neighbour's bratty kids throwing rocks in your property, but you cant jump across the fence and slap them. You need to provoke them to do something worse like maybe break something expensive or important. Then you can go in and make them pay for all the years of throwing rocks.
Israel keeps escalating the conflict making it clear they want to invade Lebanon.

Wesley Clark, a former U.S. Army General: After 9/11 USA wanted to take down 7 countries within 5 years. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia Lebanon and Iran.

That list is getting shorter. This was planned decades ago.

@Metal-Brain
Hey, you can have even MORE fun with your BULLLSYYTE, ask a question like 'will Israel invade Iran' or Will Israel invade the US' or 'will Israel invade Mexico'.
Funny how you always say 'will this and that about our ALLIES gets questioned.
Never about "Putin is a barbarian for taking Crimea or attacking Ukraine, a sovereign country."
Or 'why is Russia spending millions of dollars running misinformation and lies campaign specifically to assist Trump to be reelected'.
Tell me, why don't you EVER bring up ANYTHING like that?

@Metal-Brain saidThey are Islamic. Islam is evil.
How did you determine which countries are evil?
Next question.

@Rajk999 saidExploding pagers and walkie talkies is terrorism. How many children were killed by those explosions? Indiscriminate killing is by definition terrorism. Israel has sunk down to Islam's level. Just like democrats want to sink down to Russia's level and censor anything they don't like, especially the truth.
They are Islamic. Islam is evil.
Next question.
Zionists are evil.

@Rajk999 saidThen why are we allies with Turkey and Saudi Arabia?
They are Islamic. Islam is evil.
Next question.
By your logic we are allies with evil.

@Metal-Brain saidYes you are. Being allies with evil cannot always be helped. The US and all other countries are watchful and careful with being allies with Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Their loyalties lie with their Islamic brothers.
Then why are we allies with Turkey and Saudi Arabia?
By your logic we are allies with evil.

@Metal-Brain saidWho cares how many children were killed? Did Hezbollah care how many children were killed when they bombed a school in the Golan Heights in July this year? 12 children were killed and the Arabs were rejoicing.
Exploding pagers and walkie talkies is terrorism. How many children were killed by those explosions? Indiscriminate killing is by definition terrorism. Israel has sunk down to Islam's level. Just like democrats want to sink down to Russia's level and censor anything they don't like, especially the truth.

If a man is shooting people, and the police come out and shoot and kill that killer, has the police sunk down to the level of the man? No .. you damn fool.
Exploding pagers is not indiscriminate killing. It is high-tech targeted killing of Islamic extremists. These are not pagers in the hands of civilians. Idiot.
