According to Reuters Saudi Arabian forces have been put on alert, and have mobilised 8 armoured battalions on the border with Israel, in response to a percieved buildup of Israeli forces.

Talk about the shit hitting the fan! <IMG SRC="eek.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
And before anyone harps on about it being mumbo-jumbo. More people around the world believe in a big guy sitting on a big throne up in the clouds. And if you can believe that then you can believe anything IMHO.
The British media did report that march. But it ignored the unofficial spontaneous demonstrations by high school students in the days before it. Similar spontaneous protests, some clashing with the police, have been taking place across the Middle East.
On the day Israel launched its attacks, thousands of Syrians gathered outside the UN office in the capital, Damascus, to shout pro-Palestinian slogans. Protests have grown since. Parties that are barely legal or are excluded from power under Syria's military regime have joined them.
The banners and flags reflect the competing political voices. There are images of Che Guevara, the left wing guerrilla fighter of the 1960s, pictures of the leader of the Lebanese Islamist movement Hizbollah, flags of the oppressed Kurdish minority, and others.
There are none of Syrian leader Bashar Al Asad. For the protesters, his words of condemnation of Israel are not enough. The protests are bringing hatred of his regime to the surface. The first leaflets for the protests called simply for support for the Palestinians. Then they began calling for the release of political prisoners in Syria.
A bigger wave of protest has swept neighbouring Lebanon. Over 1,000 doctors, lawyers and engineers marched to the US embassy in the capital, Beirut, earlier this month. A demonstration by young people outside the embassy two days earlier was more militant. Over 2,000 protesters stoned security forces.
Some 15,000 people marched in the port city of Sidon. The population of Lebanon is only four million. The march is equivalent to a quarter of a million marching in Manchester. There are similar protests in Egypt itself. It is the largest Arab state, with a population of 57 million.

You can see air. You can reduce its temperature until it liquifies, and there it is. In fact, that's the most ridiculous argument in support of prophecies I have ever heard.
People like Nostradamus made hundreds of very vague predictions. If only a few of these appear to come true, the other rubbish ones are completely forgotten.
Note the term "appear" to come true. People read these predictions and then bend events to try and suit them. The predictions are then twisted to appear even more accurate. Indeed, many of Nostradamus' supposed predictions are in fact made up ones that he never wrote himself.
And on the religion front, I am not personally religious - in fact, I regard it as almost as stupid as predictions. So your defence that millions of people are gullible and stupid so why isn't it okay for you to be? doesn't really wash.
There will also be a mass march in London in support of the Palestinians on Saturday May 18th starting at 12noon at Hyde Park and going to Trafalgar Square. Full details are here.
Yes...but the entire Arab world is full of fuckwits who think their idea of a good time is to die gloriously whilst killing children, women and other innocent civilians, in the foolish belief that noone will retaliate.
Palestine may have the support of the Arab world. But Israel has the support of the West. And in a total war, I know who my money will be on, and it won't be on an army that relies on outdated 1970's Russian equipment.
Out of curiosity, if there was a world war, who would you support??? The turd world, or your own countrymen?
If you say anything other than Britain then you can stage your rally in a large field, after digging your own graves and giving us a chance to set up a machine gun post or 3.
So you think that the arab world, would even for a second support Israel??? You really got me laughing there...
Saudi Arabia doesnt have a border with israel

Calm down mate..
Israel is cut off from Saudi Arabia by a strip of Jordanian land which is only about 25km wide. If an invasion was planned then they would roll right through that strip with the full permission of Jordan.
Interestingly, this is an offensive buildup of forces rather than defensive. The Saudi forces include three parachute Brigades. The rest being armour.
how would it look when they just handed their new peace plan for the ME?
their forces didnt help them when they sent them to israel on 67' did they? <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
since I can see you hate Israel so much and I also seen that you use ICQ , I hope it doesnt bother you the ICQ is an Israeli program.
Not sure what you mean really but this story is fact. The Saudi forces have moved 8 brigades to their border with Jordan, 16 miles from Israel.
Im not really sure why you are so angry in this thread. Its not anti-Israel.
I think from my posts even the most stupid moron can tell that I hate the Muslim terrorists.
got a wrong impression.

What kind of rational person blows themselves up and believes the more people the kill, the happier their lives will be in heaven?
Replace fuckwits with Brainwashed then if it makes you feel better.
Maybe so, I was simply stating that there is an unusually large number of people in the Arab world willing to blow themselves, and whoever else is unfortunate to get in the way up.
As a proportion, don't you agree there is a larger proportion in say Iran or Lybia than there is in England or France?
Even the Japanese confined their suicide attacks to military targets.
We ourselves stopped intentionally targetting civilians at the end of the second world war, knowing it is futile. What did the attacks on the WTC do for the Muslims? Nothing, it was a minor pin prick on one of the most powerful nations on Earth.
What has America done in return?
Palestine, the terrorists continue to target civilians, even though they know it will result in the deaths and eventual destruction of their own homeland. I don't think the Israeli people and government would be AS angry if the terrorists targetted military and police targets.
Israel has responded by destroying Palestine's infrastructure, it's police force, it's communications.
The Pali terrorists have killed a few hundred civilians. Who will win in the long run?
Suicide attacks don't even conform to any logic i've ever heard of. Surely they'd be more victorious if they fought one on one against the Israeli military. But no, they attack civilians. Hmmm, sound strategic thinking.
theres a large defference between the western world and the arab-muslim world,
the way we see reality and the way they do.
that what lead osama bin laden to his attacks on 11/9, he also called on his recent discovered tape to a jihad war against the "sinning" western world.
how have we sinned ? respected human life?
human rights?
therefor, you can not talk to these kind of people who are willing to kill them self just to kill some others, because they have a twisted way of thinking.
and because of that you must handel them as they handel themselves , with power, thats the only thing they understand.
another example for their behavor is 20 years ago on the iran-iraq war - the irani's took hundereds and thousands of children and put a plastic key around their neck telling them its their key to heaven (same heaven where they say the suicide bombers go) and send them to walk on mine field , to blow themselfes up so the army could pass...
