Simisu. I can't help but notice that your location is in israel. How is it going there? where at do you live? Are you getting any of the incoming rockets? Are you in the 30,000 troops that were called up? Could you be one of the ones called up?

you should have PMed the link 
well like i said in the PM, first of all thanks for the concern...
i was going to post about this but i guess i can talk about it here!
i live 20 minuts from Tel-aviv which means i'm in no danger as of now, up untill now i wasn't too worried about what is going on (except for Lebanon and the huge amount of funds we've been throwing out) but as of yesterday i'm afraid to say that i'm getting a little antsy... suria has drafted its army (the most masive draft since 73!) and we're planing to draft two or three more bettalions (i'm not sure bettallion is the right word so forgive me if i'm wrong) all the while stressing that we don't want to atteck or use them but it's obviusly a dangerus situation which hopfully won't progress... but i'm starting to feel un easy, all hell can break loose soon and i wish there was something i could do about it!
personally i'm not gonna get drafted unless something REALLY bad happens and israel is desperate, i have a low medical profile and i haven't been assigned a reserve position (i think they forgot about me... which i don't really mind ) on the one hand i wish i could somehow help but on the other hand i don't really support this war 
i felt a need to call some freinds from the army (ones that might get drafted...) but i haven't yet, hopefully none of my friends are anywhere near this conflict (although i'm SURE some people i know are over there)
so yeah it sucks ass and i hope everything is going to be ok!!!

Man I am glad for you that you live far enough away from the border that you are not getting any incoming. That would be such a bad situation to be in.And I am glad that you will not be in the reserves that are being called up. Hopefully this runs its course quick and there can be a cease fire.

I was going to ask you the same questions. Crazy stuff there. Glad your okay and everything seems, if not okay, at least somewhat kosher. (Kosher, Get It? Hahahahah)
On a lighter note:
Are they selling t-shirts or anything? I want a "I survived the Hezbollah Rocket Attack of 06, and all I got was this stupid t-shirt" one.
I know in America they'd be selling them already. Maybe we can work out some kind of trans-atlantic marketing scheme.

Hezbollah is pulling out the big ones now.
Rockets with a range of 50 kilometers and a 100kg warhead. Simisu, watch closely for that early sign to get the fuck out of there. And when that sign comes, hesitate not a moment.
I know Israel is a mighty force to be reckoned with, but do not un derestimate what a determined guerilla warfare org can do.
The USA had their Vietnam, the USSR had their Afghanistan, but this is where you people live!
Be careful man, and split if you have to. This conflict may in one instant turn into a disaster for all parties.

have you already done your military/civil service? i have a few friends who are currently in the israeli army, one of whom is very proud and excited about the whole thing, the other 2 being very pissed but not wanting to flee the country.
i was actually considering doing a study-abroad in Israel next year, to check the whole thing out for myself.
be safe, brother

W_S belive me no one is underastimating hizballa (maybe over astimating... at least in the israeli midia) they keep talking about "bint jbell" where most of the fighting is going on right now and i can't understand why the IDF dosen't simply obliterate it insted of sending troops in there to get killed... hizbolla doesn't want anything except kill more israeli civilians and troops and we CANT fight them on their own terrein 
i guess its a matter of PR... maybe israel is afraid to whipe it out and get blamed for killing civilians or some BS like that (there's NO civilians there right now!!!)
Krishna i served my three years as a health inspector and exterminator in the IAF (i finished december 03) you should come over (hopfully this won't take too much time and it'll be peacefull again soon)
i don't really want to flee the country just yet... it's gonna take alot more to run us out of here!

if i don't study abroad there, i'll at least be visiting sometime in the upcoming years, when my friend yonathan gets out of his military service (end of this year, i believe, but maybe next year). i have a lot of friends in various countries around that area, so assuming visas wont be too much of a trouble, i'll have to plan a month-long trip to see them all and travel around a bit

You should keep us updated from your point of view. I watch all this on CNN or FOX or MSNBC but I always wonder if it is skewed. I would like to hear it from someone in Israel.

I feel funny reading and replying to this thread. I've read your posts here since I've been here...And you seem like a cool guy.
But my sympathies in the whole war/crisis thing are definately on the other side.
So much harder to decide a person is bad than to write off a whole country as bad, if that makes any sense.
Peace.

Why do you feel this way. Im not sure I know anyone who feels like Hezbollah is in the right. The U.S. won't stop israel from wiping them off the map and I don't blame them. They are not freedom fighters. They are terrorists that should be hunted and killed. They baited israel into this conflict and now that the big dog is biting they want to cry foul. If there is a humanitarian crisis in lebanon its because they brought it on themselves.

Its a long story I've covered in in the Politics forum. I dont want to jack this thread with it...

i bet whatever i hear is just as skewed as you are  all i can give is my individual thoughts and feelings about my own prespective  and to tell the truth i don't really have any idea what is going on...

yeah it makes sense... i "hate americans" for all the shit "they" did all across the world and for what they reprisent today but on the other hand there are so many wonderfull things about the US but when i talk about america i'm talking about the country and not the individuals... most of the guys on the shroomery probably don't fit the profile for what i hate about america and its colture, on the contrery (otherwise i wouldn't be here!)
and while i find it difficult to understand how anyone would side with a terrorist group it's not my job to educate you... i simply assume you got you facts wrong  you can say the same for me i guess but we probably agree about the fact that whatever issue this is about it shouldn't be worked out by sensless violance so that's good enough for me 
Peace!
