Default Re: Wall stronger than ever

Chris you know damn well that when Israel attacked the joint Arab forces pre-emptively, that was a defensive war, because the Arab forces had even proclaimed that this war would be the war to wipe Israel from the face of the Earth. The 1967 war and the Yom Kippur war were defensive for Israel even if Israel struck first, because it was obvious the Arabs were preparing to launch a massive attack.

To claim that Israel was the "aggressor" in these wars is akin to a schoolkid surrounded by a bunch of bullies who are intent on beating the hell out of him (and they even say so) but he bravely manages to get in the first punch and somehow wins. You would call that kid the agrressor. Your position regarding this is intellectually dishonest and immoral.

Also, your logic is faulty again if you presume I am saying that victorious defenders must take lands from aggressors. I'm saying they sometimes do, and they frequently have the option, and it's a good thing they frequently have the option.

Syria should never get the Golan Heights back, and if Hezbollah starts seriously shelling Israel from a certain vantage point in Lebanon and Lebanon/Syria allow this to continue then Lebanon should lose that vantage point permanently.
