Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    The Fateh-110's range is approximately 250 km according to Wikipedia which would put cities as far away as Ashdod (near the Gaza Strip) within Hezbollah's range if you calculate that Hezbollah fires one from Beirut. If Hezbollah fires from Southern Lebanon (which it will), it can reach any city in Israel, like the article said.

    Syria has reportedly delivered Fateh 110 missiles to Hezbollah



    Syria reportedly delivered to Hezbollah mobile surface-to-surface Fateh-110 missiles capable of reaching every Israeli city, according to DEBKAfile, an Israeli website.

    Quoting Israeli military and security sources, the website further reports that the missile weighs three tons with a half-ton precision-guided warhead and a range of 250 kilometers.

    Armed with a solid-fuel propellant, the missile is capable of firing at speed with little advance preparation.

    According to the same website, Tel Aviv was expecting Damascus to deliver anti-aircraft missiles to Hezbollah but not this type of arms, which constitute a real danger. Fired from mobile launchers, the missiles cannot be detected by Israeli planes.

    Quoting Israeli sources, DEKBAfile reported that the Fateh-110 missile issue was at the heart of discussions between Syrian President Bachar Assad and US Middle East envoy George Mitchell, as well as with Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos. Mitchell and Moratinos alledgedly relayed to Damascus an Israeli warning that if Hezbollah ventured to fire the Fateh-110, Israel was determined to hit back at strategic and military targets inside Syria.

    Well to be honest I wouldn't care if israel didn't exist anymore, but I don't think that is realistic. What I would like to see more though is a two state solution where Palestinians can live in their rightful lands and israelis in theirs. I would like to see an end to the racist policies of the israeli government as well. They are not much better than formerly apartiad South Africa.

    You should also look into the pro-azeri/turkish policies that israel has carried out in the past decades. They have been no help to Armenia or Armenians.

    Hezbollah dismisses Obama pledges


    The leader of Lebanon's mainly Shia movement Hezbollah says US President Barack Obama's promise to engage with Muslims has proved to be false.

    Hassan Nasrallah said the US had shown its commitment to Israel by sending more military aid and backtracking on demands to stop West Bank settlements.

    He said the Arab world could not depend on the US to solve its problems because the US was causing them.

    In June, Mr Obama called for a "new beginning" between the US and Muslims.

    Correspondents say that Mr Nasrallah's remarks were his strongest criticism yet of the US president.

    'Dignity disregarded'

    "A few months ago, when Barack Obama was elected as US president and a new American administration saw light, many had high hopes and believed that major changes will happen in favour of the Arab and Islamic world," said Mr Nasrallah, quoted by Hezbollah's al-Manar TV.

    "However, the truth was quickly revealed and all these illusions quickly failed. The result was obviously a full US commitment to Israel's interest and security, disregarding the dignity and feelings of the Arab and Muslim people and governments."

    He added: "We tell all those who asked us to give the Americans some time… it turned out that presenting a black president from the third world was a trick that ended faster than we expected."

    Mr Nasrallah was speaking on Hezbollah's Martyrs' Day.

    Earlier this week, the head of Israel's military said that Hezbollah now has rockets capable of reaching Israel's largest cities.

    Maj Gen Gabi Ashkenazi's warning came days after Israel's navy seized a ship it said was carrying hundreds of tonnes of weapons destined for Hezbollah.

    Israel and Hezbollah fought a war in 2006 during which more than 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, were killed. Some 160 Israelis, most of whom were soldiers, also died.

    If I said I didn't like Iran I would have to admit I didn't like most of the middle east either because whether its Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran whatever there are plenty of Islamic Law driven nations.

    It sounds a bit laughable to me, talking about Ahmadinejad's J'ewish roots. I think there are some important factors which discard such claims. The place where he was born, Semnan, is just Persian. J'ews are non-existent there, they have been concentrated in other regions more, like Hamedan or Tehran or... Secondly, Sabourjian may be 'common' among the Iranian J'ews but it is an Iranian name in the first place and so more common among the Iranians. And then more importantly, he has rised from a poor background, you think you can find a 'middle-class' J'ew (let alone poor) in Iran?
    Thanks for your input... what you say makes sense.

    Well that seals the deal
