gaza bombing (you knew I was going to bring this up!)

[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.
