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.

They're not aimed at military targets, they're aimed at population centers, and kindergartens with a range effecting over 1 million Israelis.

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

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

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.

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.

As for exports, you could say they "export" bombs and artillery rounds! Zing!

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.

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.
