I hear Hamas has broken through the border between Gaza and Egypt. I daresay that that will be Israel's fault as well though.

In 210th place and not touched since January, I thought I would revive this thread on reading about (and seeing the photos of) the possible future Prime Minister of Israel - Tzipi Livni - Now there's a name it'd be fun to get thedelboy to pronounce after a few pints



Well I'd vote for her!!!

I wonder what she is trying to show with her hands in this photo? Maybe something along the lines of "You take Nasrallah's balls in one hand and Mashaal's in the other and squeeeeeeeeeze!"

We can hope.

Valhalla, I am coming!

Tzipi, or to give her her full first name Tzipora (meaning 'bird' for those of you who want to start taking cheap cracks) is not a bad candidate. She actually differentiates between attacks on soldiers and attacks on civilians I believe which is a positive step forward in trying to clarify the mess that is the Middle East.

Do you pronounce the 'T', or is it like "Zippy"? If the latter that would be unfortunate as 'Zip" is slang for 'todger' in Arabic!!!!

Photo Fun and Frolics with Tzipi Livni


No, Mr. President, it's pronounced "Tzipi Livni", not "Zippedy-Doo-Dah".


OK, your highness, so we are agreed. We will ship 1 billion falafal to the royal palace in Doha and you will tell Al Jazeera to go easy on us for a while.


Curses! The Is-ra-eeli woman dodged my cunning trip-on-a-glass-of-water ploy! Foiled again by those pesky Zionists!

Yes LTNS ... I gathered as much ... my question was whether this was said to happen if we all moved to Rome which is what your first post on this particular subject seemed to intimate.

Where upon I sked you whether you mean that according to him if we all move to Rome Israel will vanish?

Now do try and answer a question without trying to spin out of it. There's a good chap.

On the other hand, you could always admit that you posted it because you cannot bear there to be a thread on this forum without you posting on it whether you know anything about the topic or not being immaterial.

Iran President: 'Israel Will Disappear'

This is now World News.
Nothing to do with Rome (only that is the place he is speaking)
so what you are wasting time on is silly.
He is in Rome at the UN Summit talking to the World.

Maybe he has Contacts that
others do not?
Time will tell.

And this is a thread about Israel etc
so when the Iran Leader
says such a thing
it has many angry
but will still do not have many posters on this Site
at this time.

I wonder what would have happen if after WW2 the Jews were given a homeland in the Falklands, for instance. Maybe not a natural homeland but a homeland, could be anywhere.

Would this have led to all the countries in the Middle East living in peace? I doubt.

It may of prevented a few wars or conflicts?

It would not be a worry for the Washington at the moment either.

It would just have meant different wars ... the only thing that has really united the Arab Nations is their hatred for Israel.
