#1 Time to dust off the Cobalt Devices! Christianity is under attack, and if any of the three most solemn sites of Nazareth, Bethleham, or Jerusalem is targeted, Israel must take a stand with their "LOG [Light Of God] Missiles"!

Nope. I don't remember paleos/muslims suffering *any* consequences, even diplomatical, to their occupation/ransacking (using Bibles as toilet paper, using altar as table, mistreating priests, and stealing valuable as they left) of the Church of Nativity.
In fact, the perps got out unharmed thanks to pressure from the so-called "christian" West.

And the same goes for the destruction/reconstruction as a mosque of the jewish tomb of Joseph.

Just imagine the HOWLING, both by the Moderate Muslims and the progressives everywhere, if a Holy Site of islam had been just been "desacrated", for example by a jewish soldier farting in its general direction...

#3 Actually you just gave me a great idea.
As you know Israel has some Katyushas and other soviet munitions taken as booty from the Egyptian army in the 1973 war.
Why don't the Israelis fire a couple of those on the Al-Aksa moskkkkk right in the middle of one of Hizbollahs Katyusha attacks.
This would catch few birds with one missile :
1) get rid of the damn mosskkkkk of the "religion of peace"
2) Have Nasrallah become the target of a whole bunch of "seething arab masses" and "Magic Fatwa's (TM) from now till Kingdom cometh.
3) It may also (hopefully) have a deleterious effect on Nasrallah's life expectancy (statistically speaking , of course).

#4 Again, firing unguided rockets into urban areas. We need to lend Israel a few B52s.

#5 A 5089, there were many Paleo terr's that never left the Church of the Nativity thanks to the effective use of certain remote weapon technologies. In fact it was the effective use of these systems that got them to leave without any damage to either the hostages or the structure.

#6 Thanks, I really didn't know that; this was so infuriating at the time having them seemingly win this and go scott-free in exile.

#7 We need to lend Israel a few B52s.
Where would you use them, except the Bekaa Valley? The residents of Beirut aren't our enemies. Using them too close to the Israeli border would cause destruction on the "hezbollah militants", but would also probably break the eardrums of half the Israeli Army in the area. Now, if Ein-el-hellhole were the target, then go for it!

#8 Beirut would not be the target. Israel is acting in as prudent a manner as anyone could expect. Using precision weapons strategically is the only way. If they are to destroy Hammas or Hezbullah then eventually they will have to deal with Syria and Iran, the masters of this war. With that they will need a bit of help in strategic reach, B52's. It's just time to get up off our asses and reach back to the deep fight and hit those who are really running this war.
