Paganism is hilarious though. I guess it is fucking stupid if they are really serious about it. Doing the pagan thing as a way to fuck with Christians on occasion is pretty funny to me. Especially when you point out how Christianity was influenced by pagan beliefs, and how much it strays from Judaism.
The world is holding Israel back actually. As Israel has gotten its weapons from the rest of the world's powers (French nuclear technology, US and other nations as far as military gear goes). The Israeli army has a lot more at their disposal and they could easily be doing a lot more damage than they are currently. If nobody really cared, the Israelis could obliterate most of the Arab nations pretty quickly with the armaments that they have at their disposal.
i dont think so. they would do a lot of damage allright, but on their own they wouldnt last long enough to win it. sure they could even launch nukes, but so what? theyll get swarmed with a hundred million radiated suicide bombers
its too easy to brag up technology, like when discovery channel masturbates on and on about how infinitely indestructible the abrams tank is, while at the same time abrams tanks were being destroyed by iraqi ragtag warriors. not many of course.. but no army is invincible on technology allone. afghanistan is another testiment to that.
during the recent gaza war it was pretty obvious that israel was testing its allies, and was getting the (lack of) reaction they obviously hoped for, blatantly using banned tactics, and being openly nonchalant about civilian casualties. and thats back to what pisses me off so much... at least bush tried to play dumb w the whole iraq afghanistan thing, but israel acts like some evil villain, and seem proud of it
