Suggestion for a Civ: Israelites Full PM-box? Change here!

Yes, I said I won't play them...but here's the one condition I would play them in:

Expansionist (West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights, anyone?)
Religious (no brainer)

Unique Unit: Martyr-1 attack, 1 defense, 2 movement, no support required. Whenever any Martyr unit is destroyed, the home city goes into a We Love The King celebration for 2 turns.

So I take it that this is the modern state of Israel, and not the ancient Hebrew kingdom.

If such a civ representing this race were to exist, I'd rather the ancient Hebrew kingdom.

Mediterranean/Mid. East

Commercial, Religious

Leader: King David

UU: Slinger (archer with greater attack or something)

Expansionist - yes

but also a new trait:

Rogue - Not bound by any international treaties, laws or standards of conduct; may attack foreign civs with impunity (Tunisia, Iraq, Lebanon); may demand anything in trade and, if refused, the offending civ is declared anti-semetic and banished from the international community.

Don't forget that they have the ability to attack their allies w/o going to war, or any negative consequences at all (ie, USS Liberty in 1967 war).

And I think expansionist is quite a stretch. Sure, they expanded into the West Bank and all that, but even w/ the occupied territories, Israel is still TINY.

Well, if you're going to make anti-Israel jokes, call them ISRAELis. ISRAELites is a general term jewish people have called them long befor the state of Israel's existed. An Israeli is an Israel citizen.

Israelites aren't particularly interested in territorial expansion, just practicing their religion.

I agree, my boys in Washington need to end their habit of meddling in every international situation (and domestic situations) throughout the globe. And the dumping of the Kyoto Treaty and the International Criminal Court was not cool.

Shut up you ****ing Jew-haters.

Expansionistic? You've got to be kidding. Unless you buy the standard Jew-hating "Protocols" spin on the news you'd know that Israelis have ALWAYS sought peace-- and NEVER found a partner.

Martrys? Hello-- exactly WHO sends suicide bombers to blow up children.... or can you not see through your Jew-hating regalla to see that.

International law? What other state would tolerate DAILY terrorist attacks against its citizens. The fact is that "international law" is dictated by Arab butchers who sit on oil wealth. Do we see the Saudis, Eygptians, Syrians etc. condemmned by the UN? Assad killed more Arabs in a single day (Hama) than Israel has in 50 years. But then again, I suspect you don't actually care about Arabs.... just hating Jews.

Now if we wanted to talk truths.... how about the suicide bomber as a UU for the Arabs. It would replace the missle.

Go to hell.

Look, stop attacking us, we stop attacking you, pure and simple, you arrogant Israeli b****. Just because you can't do s*** without America giving you BILLIONS of dollars to buy F-16's to destroy mud homes, and to hide the truth about the military from your OWN CIVILIANS (who, I might add, are immigrants living off of American tax dollars). Arab butchers who sit on oil wealth? American could take over those guys in two seconds if it wanted to. They are controlled by US, except for Iraq and Iran, and until those two stop fighting, they are worthless. So, that means that Israel is the only country with anything. Also, how many UN Resolutions did Israel get by, because the US, their loving b****, always gives them what they wanted. Look at the devil (i.e. Ariel Sharon), who is now called nice. What do you say to that. Oh yeah, now you'd bring out the "Anti-Semetic" label. Well, considering that Palestinians are Semetic, that would mean they hate themselves. Now what do you say? The truth of the matter: you're just stupid.

Sefer Koheleth, please don't be an ass.

You could have said the same things politely, no matter what.

If you'll kindly open a history book and read about the life in Palesine in 1920-1948, you'll see that it was the arab palestinian population that has constantly attacked, massacared and harrassed Jewish population in Palestine.

quote:

1. we can indeed do ****. We had no American help when we kicked Arab ass in 1967.
2. We get some billion dollars per year. But never is it mention the tromendous help Israel gives to American science, both civilian and military wise.

I am willing to bet that 40% of your computer was made (not manufactured, but developed) in Israel.

quote:
and to hide the truth about the military from your OWN CIVILIANS

It's true that IDF blocked the access to TV reporters, but it was necessary to protect them. It was done for the same reason that curfews were put in place.

It comes to allow for normative fighting, and protect non-combatants from fire exchanges and so on.

As you know, many civilians and journalists were hit in all sorts of fire exchanges in the last 18 months. The curfew, allowed IDF to concentrate on militants with less risk of civilian losses.


Furthermore, I'd like to notify you that Israeli reporters, unlike chicken ass international reporters, were the first ones to illegaly infiltrate the war zone areas, and report from there.


Also, please question reporters, on the nature of Palestinian pressure not to film or air news which are "harmful" to the Palestinian cause. the PA has threatened, bullied and even jailed reporters which gave them bad press.

If you know, after the lynching of 2 Israeli soldiers in Ramallah, on December (?) 2000, the reporter who took the video quickly published an appology in all major Palestinian papers, asking forgiveness for publishing the truth and "hurting the palestinian cause".

Another example is the PA's attempt to cease all footage of Palestinians celebrating 9/11.

quote:
(who, I might add, are immigrants living off of American tax dollars)

Go read about the Jewish nation which existed long before the Roman Empire, and will exist long after the American empire.

quote:
. Arab butchers who sit on oil wealth? American could take over those guys in two seconds if it wanted to.

No it couldn't since they would send them small children wearing explosives.

quote:

You have many interesting conspiracy theories.

quote:
So, that means that Israel is the only country with anything.

With anything... what?

quote:
Also, how many UN Resolutions did Israel get by, because the US, their loving b****, always gives them what they wanted.

Actually, there are more anti-Israeli resolutions than there are on any other topic IIRC.

quote:
Look at the devil (i.e. Ariel Sharon), who is now called nice.

a) what made him a devil?

b) Look at known and proclaimed terrorist Yassir Arafat.

quote:
What do you say to that. Oh yeah, now you'd bring out the "Anti-Semetic" label. Well, considering that Palestinians are Semetic, that would mean they hate themselves.

That is semantic nonsense.

anti-semitic is meant to be anti-jewish.

As you might know, the nazis had no problem with semites other than jews, and infact were in excellent relations with Palestinian leader, the Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini (sp?).

Again, I'd ask you to read some history.

Is there any point to this thread, or is it just an excuse for political discussions to invade yet another forum?

***

Seriously now, I would play as the Israelites. But I doubt they'd put them in the expansion pack, as crazies like the ones in this thread would say the exact same things. If I wanted to play Israelites, I'd modify one of the other civilizations, like when I made a Zionist faction for Alpha Centauri.
