    Oh, so what you're saying is that the rockets from Gaza barely pose a threat to Israel. Israel, however, finds the need to murder dozens of children and women in Gaza as a response.

    Hang about, didn't the Israeli Ambassador to the UN today state that Israeli's only get 15 secs warning, complete with air raid siren for extra effect. He wasn't being economical with the truth was he?

    Hmm, because Israel invested in bomb shelters and defensive weapons, lest we forget that running to the nearest bomb shelter is quite bothersome and bad for economy, especially when half the country has to do it.
    Hmm, because Hamas should invest in bomb shelters, not in kidnappings, not in rocket launchers near kindergartens or ammunition caches in hospitals and mosques.

    PS in other words that Israel has superior defensive capabilities does not mean it should be defensive when attacked by murderers, terrorists, barbarians. It will keep taking the fight to Hamas and if its not to your liking, learn to live peacefully alongside Israel.

    Would you like them to store them out in the open with a big sign that says Bomb Here? It's a war, a very unbalanced one because the great satan of the world has their backdoor and pays for their deadly toys, and has for decades. Without us this squatter nation would have been in the sea where it belongs decades ago.

    No I'm saying those rockets are very dangarous, that is why Israel is protecting its people by building shelters, while the Arabs don't care if 100, 1000, 10000 die, so they don't bother building shelters.
    Oh, the leaders sit in very nice air conditioned bunkers, it is just the Arab people who die and the leaders than collect money for it and live richer ever after.

    So now your saying that Israel do not get the leaders only the Arab people, so you accept Israel are targeting civilians.

    Invest in bomb shelters? What a joke.

    Where's the ISIS when you need them?

    But you admitted that the rocket attacks (regardless of the precautions the Jews took place), are barely a threat to Israel.

    This makes sense, given that so far the Jews have murdered almost a hundred people, mostly civilians. How many Israelis have died from the inaccurate and fissile rockets killed? And by the way, a number of leaders have certainly died.

    That's certainly in line with Hamas point of view on the matter, why invest in bomb shelters indeed when they can invest in bombs and in Palliwood, parading innocent victims of the wars Hamas starts for PR purposes.


    Not that the strategy works all that well for the Palestinians but Hamas (and the Palestinians) seem to fit perfectly into Einstein's definition of insanity of trying the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

    Allegedly, Hamas fired rockets aimed for an area largely unsettled and were in danger of hitting nothing.

    Unfortunately, it seems more like an attack designed to legitimize a response from Israel. I mean think about it. Everytime Palestine supposedly attakcs Israel (and hits or kills near no one) Israel esponds with a highly disproportionate and wide-spread attack on Palestinians. Civilians are always killed far more than any "terrorists" they report they captured.

    Therefore, these supposed attacks would have absolutely no purpose for Palestinians other than to allow Israel to hammer them into the ground even more. It makes no sense and there is no gain but catastrophic loss for the Palestinians.

    To tecoyah, I think these attacks greatly beenfit Israel who loses virtually nothing here, but gets to ride cavalier into Palestine again on what is likely false charges.

    Have we not internalized yet that Netanyahu knew these kids were dead, but purposefully hyped the disappearacne to create international outrage?

    It is obvious now that the cow is crapping in the crapper. I am not going to waste my good time correcting scatological insinuations.
    Valiant as you are, I dare you walk around when the siren of incoming missiles is on.

    Which ones? The one's aimed at Israeli vacancies...

    Or the ones aimed at Palestinian homes?

    Maybe you should waste time correcting scatological insinuations, as your own insinuations are just that...without proof.

    Its not that these rockets were aimed at empty desert. They were aimed at cities. But these rockets are not very accurate. They were never designed to be accurate. They are area denial munitions. They are designed to fire a couple thousand into an area and rely on the Law of Large Numbers to get hits. Much like an old-fashioned drumfire barrage of conventional artillery.

    The paleos are not firing enough rockets to either:
    1) Overwhelm Iron Dome or
    2) Have any reasonable chance of actually hitting anything

    How can the Paleos "learn to live in peace" with Israel, when they have been evicted to Palestine to begin with?
    Every single time in the entire history of modern Israel, when the Paleos stop fighting, Israel comes in with their bull dozers and builds more settlements.
    It becomes clear that the real goal of Israel is to completely decimate the Paleos. And you say they need to learn to live in "peace" with Israel? Please explain!

    Actually, Israel is targeting the leaders, at least 4 of them had been taken out so far.
    The Arabs from Gaza are targetting civilian population only.
    Do you want to talk avout that ?

    - - - Updated - - -

    This is a lie. Israel left the Gaza strip almost 10 years ago. They continue to shoot rockets all that time.

    Americans support the Israelis. President Obama and his minions support Hamas and the Palestinians.

    "PRINCETON, NJ -- As President Barack Obama prepares to visit Israel, the Palestinian West Bank, and Jordan next week -- his first trip to the region as president -- Americans' sympathies lean heavily toward the Israelis over the Palestinians, 64% vs. 12%. Americans' partiality for Israel has consistently exceeded 60% since 2010; however, today's 64% ties the highest Gallup has recorded in a quarter century, last seen in 1991 during the Gulf War. At that time, slightly fewer than today, 7%, sympathized more with the Palestinians."

    I don't know if liberals hate the Jews, which historically would seem to be the case, or if they're just happy to embrace anyone who hates the U.S. Of course, it could be a fortuitous combination of the two.

    Iron Dome is definitely a game changer.

    The Israeli "fence" has pretty much stopped suicide bombings in Israel.
    Iron Dome blunts the rocket attacks. It will be improved upon shortly.

    "Hamas terrorists launched a blanket of missile fire at central and southern Israel Thursday evening in an effort to penetrate the protective shield provided by the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system. IDF meantime warned Gaza residents living near the border that it was in their best interest to evacuate the area. Operation Protective Edge is about to heat up"

    An attack from Israel or an attack from Palestine?

    It seems like the former is, by far, the one to fear the most.

    I suppose it would seem that way to you. If I supported that attacks on Israel I'd fear retaliation, too.

    Israel say again and again, if the Gazan will not shoot rockets at Israel, Israel will not shoot back.
    So all they need to do is stop attacking Israel.
    Simple, go ask them why they don't stop.

    Muslim Arabs are the source of violence in the world.
    Palestinians are the source of violence in the Middle East.

    The Israel's are known to stage provocatory attacks that give them pretext to invade, especially when these attakcs are relatively harmless and the counter-attack is exceedingly brutal and ultimately results in far more civilian deaths than any alleged terrorist threats.

    It would seem that at the smallest provocation, Israel rev's up it's military and goes in a wild safari through Gaza or wherever, blowing things up at the mere sniff or allegation of "terrorism" all of which apparently has no burden of proof on the part of the Israeli's, and these operations can hardly be called "surgical".

    Small provocation?

    I think you are being blatantly untruthful, any country would take seaborn commandos very seriously.
