File under: Hamas

#1 The israeli gvt had no qualm expelling its own citizens en masse to evacuate gaza and turn it over to hamas. What make those (rightly so) concerned Sderot citizens think the israeli authorities won't crack down on them, and hard, for launching rockets and endangering the Peace Processor? And you can bet that unlike paleos; gunmen, none of those "domestic terrorists" would be pardoned and released early if/when convicted.
I'm not saying this is a bad idea, in fact, like 'moose's plan, this is pure common sense in face of the official lack of any meaningful response to this attrition warfare, but it's just it wouldn't fit into the israeli overall "land for pieces" policy, and they would be thumped.

#2 So when does the Sderot Rocketry Club sponsor their first bowling ball lofting competion?
My advice go for APCP rather than Sugar Baby propellent.

#3 "It cannot be so difficult: If those retards from the Gaza Strip can do it then so can you."

Too good not to repeat.

#4 They're Israelis. Whatever they make may be simple, but it won't be crude. It will be good therapy for the children, too.

#9 I love it. But be careful. These things are dangerous. I would explore every method for these civilians to get their revenge. Can the cut phone lines? Gas mains? Water?

#10 Perhaps they should invite the good people of Delaware to help.

#11 The Denver Mad Scientist group has developed a "pumpkin cannon" that can loft a round ball about a mile and a half, fairly accurately. I'm sure they'd share their secret. I'm not sure, but I think it uses propane as a propellent - something easy to get in Israel.
