Definition of a blockade for the brain dead:
"an act of war by which a belligerent prevents access to or departure from a defined part of the enemy's coasts"

Brain dead? Could that be you? Do you just make this stuff up? Seems so with your non-acknowledgement Israel was (and usually always is) the aggressor and actually started the Six Day War. Hypocrite. Liar. Racist.

block·ade
–noun 1. the isolating, closing off, or surrounding of a place, as a port, harbor, or city, by hostile ships or troops to prevent entrance or exit.
2. any obstruction of passage or progress: We had difficulty in getting through the blockade of bodyguards.
3. Pathology. interruption or inhibition of a normal physiological signal, as a nerve impulse or a heart muscle–contraction impulse.
–verb (used with object) 4. to subject to a blockade.

No mention of an act of war.

I am waiting for you to start name calling now that you have ONCE AGAIN been proved wrong.

Ok "doefie" anti semite, show me another real website that says this please. Instead of some pro Arab site. Thanks.
@ Xarog - you looking in the mirror again? Take off the Turban and maybe you will see your reflection.

Pity it was you started first.

So then why is it now law that a blockade is an act of WAR? My god this is funny. You have basically backed up everything I have said. Thanks for playing. Marine1=10000
Kilo39 = -10000

Do "people like you" have some length or score fetish? It certainly seems so. Yes, Israel was the aggressor: the history has been written and it is plain to see! DAILY!

So (as in all things) look to yourselves who perpetrate torture, killing and invasion of 'foreign territories.' Ja, exactly like hitler.

//ah RollingOnFloorLaughingOutLoud!!

Can you blame the Jews for being a little paranoid after WW2?

It's got absolutely nothing to do with fears of persecution, it's got to do with fears of losing either the democratic or nationalist status of the Israeli state.

Here we go little one: http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9015678/blockade :"an act of war by which a belligerent prevents access to or departure from a defined part of the enemy's coasts. "
Again arguing with Britanica now? Wow you have made more of a fool of yourself once again. ROFLMAO

No Israeli state= persecution and no one to stop it. Israel is a force to be reckoned with and that is what will prevent another holocaust.

From Dictionary.com : "noun
1. a war measure that isolates some area of importance to the enemy"
Must be a conspiracy by the jews. Maybe they own Dictionary.com and Brittanica?

How is that foot in your mouth now?

Capturing territory through war is illegal under international law.

So is the unprovoked attack of a sovereign state on another.

This is probably the biggest reason why Israel did not try to annex these territories

Although they did anex jerusalem.

but just 'supervised' them until such a time as the 'Palestinian Authority was in a position to become a formal government'. The very UN resolution which gave Israel its status as an internationally recognised state also called for the formation of a Palestinian state.

Which was accepted by Israel and rejected by the arabs in favour of war. What was Israel to do? Not take her half because the arabs didnt agree to it? And the arab state included Jerusalem.

I think you would be surprised just how many palestinians would prefer to be properly ruled by Israel and by extension to be declared Israeli citizens compared to the situation as it is now.

Not so sure about that.

This, of course, is something that Israel can never allow if it is to maintain any facade of being both democratic and Jewish; in fact one of the greatest fears among many right wing Israelis is what is known as the 'demographic problem'. Israeli Arabs are breeding faster than Israeli Jews and the time is fast approaching when there will be more arab Israeli citizens than jew Israeli citizens.

Not to mention the ease with which these people blow themselves up in the name of their god and religion.

 

[Xarog]

No Israeli state= persecution and no one to stop it. Israel is a force to be reckoned with and that is what will prevent another holocaust.

Blatant rubbish. Unless I missed the part where South African/American/British/Australian/German jews et. al. are all living in fear for their lives.

And the point about blockading that you seem to miss is that Egypt set up the blockade in their own territorial waters. To quote you :

Here we go little one: http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9015678/blockade :"an act of war by which a belligerent prevents access to or departure from a defined part of the enemy's coasts. "

So why don't you just zip it before you end up looking like even more of an ignoramous?

No one said it wasn't.

Which was accepted by Israel and rejected by the arabs in favour of war. What was Israel to do? Not take her half because the arabs didnt agree to it? And the arab state included Jerusalem.

Well, apparently Israel chose to ethnically cleanse the majority of the arabs still living within Israel's 1948 borders and then to deny their right of return,

Not so sure about that.

It's called the one state solution.

Not to mention the ease with which these people blow themselves up in the name of their god and religion.

Strawman.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with fears of persecution, it's got to do with fears of losing either the democratic or nationalist status of the Israeli state.

You don't think the one entails the other?

 

[Syndyre]

Blatant rubbish. Unless I missed the part where South African/American/British/Australian/German jews et. al. are all living in fear for their lives.

What about for instance the Ethiopian Jews that were evacuated a few years ago?

 

[SuperAntMD]

This thread really has deteriorated.

Israel attacked first but that doesn't make them the aggressor, they attacked in order to defend themselves and ensure continued survival if you are going to argue with that then there is no hope for you. There was nothing "unprovoked about it".

Also Israel has never participated in any "ethnic cleansing." Stop perpetuating ridiculous untruths. If you want to debate, then use facts, not broad unsubstantiated falsehoods.

As for the blockade business. Even if the definitions don't (always) use the term "war" are some of you really going to argue that refusing to allow a country access to one of its major shipping routes is not an act of aggression? What other then an act of war is blockading another country's port? A joke? "You don't have a port, nah nah for wah wah!!" Please.

As for quoting figures of Jews vs. Palestinians in Israel dating back to 1880 that really blew me away. I wont even start on the term Palestinian (I can imagine the dictioanry quotes.) What does it prove that Palestinians declined since 1880, exactly? Maybe it proves that in 1948 when Jews and Palestinians alike were offered their own separate homelands the Jews said ok and the Palestinians and surrounding arab nations said "no thanks we'd rather have a war and annihilate you all". Most (not all) Palestinians that were displaced did so because they fled before the war of independance fearing they too would be killed by the surrounding arabs. Those that stayed became fully fledged Israeli citizens. Furthermore they were not "Palestinians" until that war. Before that they were mostly Jordanian and they were treated like **** by their own governments.
