European Tribune - Comments - Israel: a walk on the dark side

Israel: a walk on the dark side | 114 comments (114 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

It's pretty mind-bending when you think about it that the last time there was a refugee disaster / ethnic cleansing on anything like this scale, NATO was already at war with Serbia to the tune of over 30,000 combat sorties. Now the party responsible is also receiving US bombs -- but in the form of rushed supplies.

The world's northernmost desert wind.

Or maybe not, despite Israel protestations to the contrary I think we might see a reenactment of the 1982 Lebanon war.

So it's just deja vu, or business as usual.

Eh nothing ever happened on Earth without USA bombs...
Ah yes NATO is coming later in this picture. To "keep peace" in Lebanon (and wider) and build military bases...

Re: For a further stroll (none / 0)

Quote from MOA :
If there were forces from Nato countries there, the notion of them operating under the US dominated Nato chain of command would be unacceptable for the Lebanese. As well one would imagine that even the 'new' Nato clients er sorry 'members' wouldn't be lining up for a gig that could result in them becoming US controlled cannon-fodder in a warzone with no US forces at risk.
