Exclusive: Three Israeli Airstrikes Against Sudan

Thus far Israel has devastated not just Gaza but prior to that Lebanon. Now, they’re running into Sudan and bombing that sovereign country. Am I the only one that sees the pattern here and the fact that Israel is not being held to international law when they do these things?

President Bush said it and the Israelis prove it again.”Our (good guys) Armed Forces have long arms that can reach out and touch them.(bad guys)”

Stupid fools. Is everyone still trying to blow up the world? Well, you’re succeeding at getting your wish.

someone should do something to stop the sale of white phosphorus from the united states to israel.
i would like some proof that the people they killed were smugglers…….israrel is known for hiding secrets and telling lies and moaning and groaning about everything else.

If Israel takes out terrorist targets in Sudan, all the better. Sudan is a failed state and a recruitment ground for Al Queda.
I don’t care what Al Jazeera reports. It has shown itself to be the mouthpiece for Al Queda and are about as “fair and balanced” as Fox News – which is the mouthpiece for the extremist right wing in America.

US must disassociate from Israel for the national interest immediately, or we are going to be drown by such a rogue state.

Where is the proof that there were any weapons being smuggled and where is the proof that they were Iranian?

Isreal will have her land!
from the Nile to the Euphrates

Two points
Sudanese kill Africans in Darfur and have other ambitions towards Africa. Africans supporting Sudanese is like Jews supporting NAZIs.
The Rockets that go into Israel are from Iran and Iran’s proxy wars should be stopped or there will not be peace in the middle east or the world.

Kill all terrorists everywhere, irregardless of color or country.

The laptop warriors are out in full force tonight – justifying Israel’s murderous attacks on yet another weaker foreign country. Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, the West Bank, and now Sudan. What’s next? Iran?
I’m sure that all of you who are defending Israel’s behavior are all peace-loving Christians who value human life above all else too. I bet you also are quick to condemn pro-choice people and violent inner-city criminals too. Ha!
In actuality you’re nothing but laughably hypocritical losers – who take vicarious delight in the suffering of others. What do you care? It’s easy to sit in relative comfort, fat and safe, in the U.S. and take delight in the murder of others far away. Just remember that karma is cruel and has a long memory.
You people make me sick. The ABC News blogs attracts way too much hypocritical, right-wing, war-mongering, conservative filth. I’m through with this site. I’m taking a shower to remove the stench of this place.

Everybody defending Israel is ether a Jewish person or a Christian trying to rebuild the Temple for the end of the world so the end times can come.

I always find it interesting that those who condemn Israel’s military actions against Hamas and Hizbollah to name a couple of well known terrorist organizations, but they never mention the fact–not myth, not propaganda, but fact that it is Israel who is always responding to terrorist acts done to it? Why is it that that part is always left out of the vitriolic racist anti-Israel/Jewish propaganda? Because it does not fit comfortably with your views of the Palestinian peoples poor state because of vicious Israel and then acts out it’s frustration when a suicide bomber blows up little kids and mothers (and of course their own dumb behinds) indiscriminately on public buses?

I am an African and wow there are some ignorant people in AMerica..socialism? seriously? And who said President Obama will not protect Israel? negative wishful thinking.

Israel has a right to protect themselves but so to do the Palestinians. I don’t want my tax dollars going to these punks.

Hey yahoos, Israel was stolen from the Jews/Christians who were living there in the fist place, by Arabs. Israel was the land of the Jews for 3500 years before the Arab invasion. Arabs rejected the UN two state solution and started 5 wars (lost em all). Arabs adopted terror long before “Occupation”. While Egypt and Jordan occupied Gaza and the West Bank between 1948 and 1967 both these Arab countries did not form a Palestinian state. Hamas killed more than 500 Jewish woman and children with suicide bombing before Israel invaded Gaza, etc. Every time you go through security at an airport, thank an Arab for the pleasure of waiting in line…and lets thank our Muslim friends for 911.
In 2007 Islam and Judaism’s holiest holidays overlapped for 10 days.
Muslims racked up 397 dead bodies in 94 terror attacks across 10
countries during this time… while Jews worked on their 159th Nobel Prize.

Israel should stop being a Jewish state when all “Islamic Republics” renounce their religious foundations, become secular and permit the Jews who formally lived in those lands the right to emmigrate and live in peace in their former homes.
Deal?

Hey Gary and your 159 nobel prizes,
I bet you’re all puffed up about your buddy Kissinger’s nobel too. But you can forget about getting one for history. The only prize you’re likely to get is for cherry picking and revisionism.

Sudan is commiting genocide in Darfur and has killed over 400 thousand people
(that’s right, 400 times the number of victims of the Gaza operation).
Nobody cares.
And now Israel bombs some arms smugglers and becomes a “war criminal”.

Any consideration of this area discussed has to consider Israeli counter-insurgency tactics.Bull-dozing homes, plowing under orchards, using hunger and privation as a weapon of war.
Bombing,shelling,kidnapping,snipering on both sides.
There’s gotta be a better way.

Israel is going to defend itself against those who seek to attack it. That’s the way it should be and that’s the way it is. Period.

Israel better be careful. Israel is digging its own hole just like they did before WWII when they infiltrated the soviet commie party and used its leverage to depopulate Ukraine of 10-15 million people, mostly women and children, in an attempt to form a new state of Israel to gather Jews from the Eastern European region split up by post-WWI re-emergence of independent states. Less than ten year later, they themselves were visited upon a similar horrible faith. Perhaps there is a higher intelligence watching us and there is justice in this world, just not instantaneous, so we don’t always associate cause with its true effect.

Israel should count on a lot of support from Obama. Just look at the weak and hateful Carter.

I agree with ‘Obama and his party of clowns’ (see posting above). Israel brutalized Lebanon, Gaza, and now has violated Sudan’s sovereignty.

It amazes me that people can argue that Israel is doing anything wrong by defending itself against missile and other attacks. Give me a break. What country would sit on it´s hands and allow such things to happen? Isreal only responded to Hamas after THOUSANDS of missiles were lobbed against it´s citizens. Civilian casualties–of Palestiians– were part of Hamas plan from the start. Why else fire their rockets from schools, apartment buildings and mosques? They are sacrificing the very people they claim to represent in order to turn world opinion further against Israel as part of their long term strategy to destroy Israel. Be outraged against Hamas for the deaths of Palestinians. But then, the Palestinians voted them into office–a terrorist group whose charter and every action calls for the destruction of Israel. You reap what you sow.

Foxisms–
On the contrary…you’re the only one who *doesn’t* see the issue here.

Both this article and the comments illustrate the insanity of all involved.
Is that God’s plan?
Does that make sense?

It is possible for both Israel and Palestine to be wrong and for there to be no good guys in this scenario. It amazes me that Americans can see how Israel is defending itself in killing Muslims to avoid rocket attacks, but they cannot see how Palestinians are defending themselves against inhumane treatment, having their land stolen, and being marginalized in their own country. How do people who believe that it’s self-defense to shoot an intruder in your home who wants to take your stuff is justified, but don’t see how fighting back against people bulldozing your neighborhoods, threatening to exterminate you, targeting your hospitals and rescue teams with bombs, and having rabbis egg soldiers on to to take your land in the name of their God (something admitted by Israeli soldiers) is not self-defense?

I have never understood why Israel isn’t held to the same international standards as the rest of the world. We are ready to go to war with Iran over the nuclear issue but Israel is one of the few known nuclear proliferators and has an active nuclear program. A nuclear free Middle East by default has to begin with Israel. They are the only country in the region with nukes and they are willing to kill anyone to keep it that way.

And that’s exactly what Sudan’s Islamic-Arab supremacist regime is doing: murdering, raping, and even enslaving millions of black people. Now, because hating Israeli Jews motivates the Left more than anything, they’re officially on board with the largest ongoing genocide in the world.

I think it would be nice to give Saudi Arabia back to the Jewish tribes Muhammed slaughtered. Why is it OK to say Jews can and can’t live in some places? What if the Israelis did that to their Arab population based on religion?

Where’s Eric Hoffer talking about lunatic movements when you actually need him? Yeah, he’s dead I know. But this thread highlights the perfect storm brewing in the world today. Hating Jews brings together Islamists, lefitsts, and creepy I’m-not-sure-what’s which sound a bit like neo-fascists.
The mainstream media has helped make genocide an acceptable viewpoint by giving cover and support to HAMAS and other Islamic jihad organizations and demonizing Israel at every opportunity. This is your mess too, ABC.
And no, I’m not a Jew. That’s the preferred avenue of attack these days so I thought I’d point it out.

If you lived in the middle east and cared to survive you would have done the same as we did.
we dont send plane to sudan to bomb arabs, we send them to bomb people with weapons that will be used against us.
all u free people are wellcome to visit israel and see that it is a free and democratic society that sometimes does mistakes although really trying not to.

Get the facts straight. The Monchegorsk is a Russian owned container vessel flying under the Cypriot flag. It didn’t just go from Iran to Syria, like most container ships, it had several stops. Haaretz cited “Israeli officials” (a most dubious source) as saying that it had shells for T-72 tanks on it. If so, that wouldn’t surprise anyone since the Syrian army has Russian made T-72′s, and they would obviously supply them. Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah have T-72′s. There is no proof that the ammunition actually exists, there is no proof that it was Iranian, there isn’t even any proof that it was destined for Syria.

israeli,
One cannot claim that Iran is undemocratic because it is an Islamic State and deny that Israel is undemocratic because it is a Jewish state. You cannot be a religious state and be a democracy, the two are mutually exclusive.

Flash Override,
Iran is undemocratic because the Supreme Council of Ayatollahs gets rid of any candidates they deem not hardcore Islamic enough. So by the time elections roll around there’s no difference between candidates. Meanwhile, over in Israel, they have Arab Knesset members who think Israel (and all Jews for that matter) should be destroyed by Islam just like HAMAS says in its charter or when their leaders quote the famous hadith about murdering Jews behind rocks and trees.
I’m not sure if that’s very smart, Israel letting those who want to destroy it into parliament, but it is democratic compared to the sham democracy in Iran.

israeli – I want Israel to prosper. I just want the Palestinians to not live in some sort of apartheid situation where they have no hope of self-determination. I believe America’s support of this setup will cause us a lot of pain as it already has with 911, etc.

The US must completely rethink its so called “special” relationship with Israel. The only thing special about it is that it’s a huge PONZI SCHEME around our necks. The US is being taken to the cleaners financially and morally by this rogue nation. Israel’s claiming to be a democratic partner in the Middle East is the biggest canard of all. It’s no more democratic than was the apartheid regime in South Africa.

israeli – People like Tyler make no point.

At the time, Israel was conducting a military operation in the Gaza Strip in retaliation for Hamas’ firing of rockets on Israeli towns.
————————————-
Please do some journalism before passing on this obvious lie. Israel never kept the terms of the June agreement to significantly diminish the blockade and to not target Gazans. In November it killed 6 Gazans and that is when Hamas resumed rockets. Israel had been planning this attack all along.
It’s time that we put pressure on this rogue country that flouts international law. As Naomi Klein and many others suggest, we should boycott, divest, and sanction Israel and it’s supporters until they follow international law. They should also be prosecuted for numerous war crimes for the slaughter in Gaza. Most U.S. politicians are in Israel’s pocket and should be lobbied or removed from office.

of course ABC is intersted in justyfying all the moves made by israel against all other states of the world .what they dont report is that darfur war started and is still going on by the MOSSAD efforts,simply to break SUDAN ,,the alleged genocide hoax in DARFUR why dont they show pic. of the dead ppl.UN TROOPS and AFRICAN UNION are in the region scince 2003.not a single mass grave was found. did the 400000 dead evaporate.did they really die?? why its always pics of hungry ppl.just like the ones you see all over africa. and call it genocide??? just GOOGLE: avi dichter+darfur.ASK UR SELF WHAT HAS SHABAK TO DO WITH HUMANITY??

Israel has 1 goal
Unless there are pig eating devils out there …………….. this goal should be easy.
Take teweapons away from the ofeensive garbage and there will be no raon for air strikes anddeat.

How big of an antisemite must you be to defend the same people who rejoyced and danced in the streets when we were attacked by their religious and ideological brethren? Suddenly you feel concern for America haters? You are probably the same folks who really don’t care what the Sudanese or other Africans are doing to their own.
Do not forget who our enemies are!

Israel has always been persecuted and always will be-which is why they have a Jewish State. Having their own state means they have some better than normal safety within it. Even though The Israeli’s only posess a fraction of their traditional mid-east homeland they are always called occupiers and racists by their neighbors. Looking at this problem from a modern secular democratic point of view does make Israel look like the bad guy. Israel must stay in a defensive posture to protect itself as they can never be a secular State. Sometimes the best defence is a good offence.

I wonder if the weapons Israel used in these attacks were “smuggled” like the Hellfire missiles used to destroy a Lebanese ambulance which records say were in the US Marines arsenal. What would the reaction be if Sudan were to make strikes inside of Israel to defend themselves. If Hamas used Apache helicopters and Hellfire missiles would they cease to be “terrorists”? The hypocrisy of our relationship with Israel is repugnant

The U.S. openly provides weapons to Israel. The U.S. does this because Israel is a small democracy that has common goals with the U.S. One of the goals is to preserve the democracy at all costs even if it means attacking a small weapons plant purposely built in a Palestinian school. Maximum international sympathy is guaranteed for hamas when their leaders are killed while traveling via ambulance or making weapons in a school. Nobody wants to have innocent Palestinian women and children killed except, of course, Hamas-because they know these “martyrs” will give Israel an international blackeye.

What we all say here is moot. Israel will do what it must to protect it’s citizenry regardless. During the raid on Entebbe in the 1980′s Israeli pilots flew thousands of miles over Arabic lands and communicated in the Arab language to fool those listening on the ground into thinking they were friendlies. Examples like this are numerous. Never underestimate the Jewish People’s ingenuity and ability to survive and moreover flourish. Many others have in history and they did so at their own peril.

Brothers & Sistas
Do you all realize the PTB will pit each of us against each other!! They take the spotlight off of themselves
Christian , Muslim , Jewish ,black white green yellow For the love of freedom we must ALL put down our diferences and band together to put down this oppression.. People, they are removing our rights, Stand together because divided we fall, It’s us against them not us against us …. Just a thought

HISTORY is old and wise
PEOPLE have short memories
will the UNITED STATES of AMERICA be next in line after GERMANY..??

Israel evacuates population centers in the West Bank and Gaza in 1994 after Oslo…and the Palestinians respond with a suicide-bombing campaign that kills and maims hundreds of Israelis and destroys whatever tenuous consensus for peace that ever existed inside Israel.
Israel evacuates Lebanon in 2000…and Hezbollah invents the Shebba Farms controversy in order to justify continued attacks on the Jewish state.
Israel evacuates Gaza in 2005…and Hamas responds with an orchestrated campaign of rocket attacks against the Jewish state.
Which side is committed to perpetual war?

Israel is the United State’s biggest ally. There is no other country that will stand by the US, always. Israel is the 4th largest supplier of weapons in the World. You think they need American weapons? America needs Israel not to develop more of their own weapons so they don’t sell them to China or Russia. The US doesn’t want to compete with more Israeli made weapons. Israel is the US’s biggest ally. Israel offered a Palestinian state in 2000, withdrew from the Gaza strip in 2005 as a goodwill gesture, and Israel’s present PM offered again a Palestinian state for peace and there was no response nor counter offer. The Palestinian leaders work only for Arab governments who will only support them if they work towards destroying Israel. Israel needs a Palestinian state. Palestinians know that.

If a reasonning is based on good/evil, it is flawed at the very base anyway. Good/evil don’t exist in nature state, it was only invented by humans to separate what they think is good for them what they think is not. Since all cultures are different, good/evil references (if existing) are different as well, and there is absolutely no “meta” good/evil scale.
But people always prefer the easier way, it’s intellectual laziness.
On my part, I condemn violent acts against civilians, would these violent act be military, political, social or whatever. In this regard, of course many “arab” countries are guilty, but Israel is no better and should not use issues in other countries as an excuse.
I have read people talking about muslims fighting each other. So what ? How exactly does that justify Israel actions ?
This is all done to bring people into thinking in a binar way : good vs evil. And most simple minded sheep openly apply to this simple and obviously biased model. The only thing left to do is to put in the “good” category (more importantly in the “evil” category) what you want to be in there so that people can use that in their daily thinking.
Be aware I am not saying that good/evil don’t exist, I am saying it was CREATED based on natural feelings of “what’s is good for my survival / what is not good for my survival”. And that with multiple cultures comes different goods and wrongs. Understanding this is a good start in stopping demonizing other and making them appear like animals to justify any behavior.
ps: always get multiple information sources and cross them. You can’t expect to get proper information from one source only. Never.

Well, all you and all the west are good at now is airstrikes,you hit and run,but on the ground you proved so week and vonorable,we are working on it and once we get our hands on it you will not be able to use your airpower and will be as week in the air as you are on the grounds, only then can you kiss your fool’s dreams good bye.after all the strength of technology can help as far as a certain point in wars but to complete the metion and victory you need real men on the ground wee that you do not have because simply you have no men with the heart for war.Its just a matter of time, laugh now and wait and see who will laugh at the end?

Israel has over half a million people living on Palestinian land. To put in perspective, that would be like if a foreign power gained control of the USA, allowed 100 million of their people to settle in the USA, while demolishing existing housing to clear the way for their own. What do you think the response of the American people would be to this? Do you think there would be a lot of “terrorist” activities going on?
Now you have a clue as the extent of the problem and what is causing the problem.

Am sure its without being said, Isreal abide’s by no Law international or Not… Well we are talking about a country with no constitution, IF we think allowing a country to do what it will’s with no regard for any ones laws.. then that is absurde cause it is only a matter of time before this monster becomes the next superpower.. Yea surprised Dont BE, IF u havent noticed lately all of the country’s top bankers are jews and oh yea look at obama’s cabnit How many people with Dual-citizenship are of Israel’s decent, Tough one and Most people would say The Muslims want world domination… Quoustion is Who Doesnt, Israel’s Belive that For the GOLDEN age to return they must first Rule the World for Jerulism…. SO now you have the current Superpower Who’s military industrial complex, Makes all the decisions Yea NOT A GOOD IDEA… AS president abraham lincoln SAID Americas military industrial complex and The Bankers Who work without proper regulation, Will cripple This Great Nation.
