One account tells of a sniper killing a mother and children at close range whom troops had told to leave their home.
Another speaker at the seminar described what he saw as the "cold blooded murder" of a Palestinian woman.
That first account was actually disproven. It was from a soldier who assumed some things after his unit pulled out of that area and was replaced by another.

Quote:
"I don't know whether she was suspicious, not suspicious, I don't know her story… I do know that my officer sent people to the roof in order to take her out… It was cold-blooded murder," he said.
So, he doesn't know the facts, he just "knows" it was murder.

Don't get me wrong. Combat does fucked up things to people and I'm sure a good many of these stories will turn out to be bad, but Geggy, it is, once again, not what you want it to be.

VaporTrailx1 It's going to keep going till one side completely eradicates the other. Israel has nukes, so I guess the odds are in their favor.

Kitsa both sides are fucked in the head. It'll just go on forever.

VaporTrailx1 Well, they probably do have modern military rockets as well, but the Qassam is a homebrew.

Abcdxxxx Hamas rocket capabilities have hit a range of 22 miles, forcing Israel to evacuate entire cities (shutting down schools, banks, etc.)....but hey, if you want to downplay that.....

They're also using Chinese made long range missiles.

Mind you, we don't really know what they have. It's a proxy war at this point.

VaporTrailx1 The Qassam is a half-assed home brewed knockoff of the Katyusha. usually contructed out of sheet metal and old piping. It would most accurately be described as an airborne pipe bomb.

And for the purists, a real Katyusha must also be launched from a Dodge flatbed.

No. It wouldn't be accurate.

VaporTrailx1 Well, looks like they've both told the UN to fuck off.

Any of this is better than Israel's ground assault?

Evil Robot As for exports, you could say they "export" bombs and artillery rounds! Zing!
Jan 9th, 2009 02:12 AM
VaporTrailx1 Well I know the Israelies are modern techwise, I was just wondering what they're primary export was.

Qassams didn't exist in WW2. They're about ten years old. The Katyushas are modified versions.

Not sure where that question came from, but chances are the chips in your computer, the cell phone technology you use, and any instant messenging programs you use were Israeli exports. They're pretty advanced in terms of medicine, agriculture, and technology.

VaporTrailx1 I always wonder just what the hell Israel is exporting anyways.
But anyways, it's like the Balkans or The Caucuses they're just gonna keep fighting forever.

to put it in perspective.

pac-man I agree with his statement of just letting them duke it out. As long as Americans aren't dying over there I could give a damn. Israel does reserve the right to defend itself, and I hate chicken shit tactics. If you target civilians you deserve to get punched in the fucking mouth.
Jan 8th, 2009 08:54 PM
derrida Does anyone actually agree with Vaportrail? Not to minimize the obviously psychologically jarring effect that the Qassam rocket attacks have on Israeli civilians, but how exactly do primitive WWII-era munitions consist of an existential threat to one of the strongest militaries in the world?

As for Israel's other neighbors, trade with Israel is a central part of many middle eastern countries' economies, and an attack on Israel would open them up to a devastating air assault, possible nuclear strike, as well as a highly unfavorable military or economic response from the United States and/or Israel's other allies.
