#1 Time for Israel to make a new Palestain.

#2 Has anyone found out why there is no anti-mortar or missile systems in place there? Do we have a bad case of "Not Invented Here" syndrome in Israel?

#3 tip, I'm sure they have the stuff, but I suspect they don't return fire because the missiles are launched from places like school playgrounds and they are unwilling to generate that kind of collateral damage and the bad world publicity it would generate (for Israel, not for the paleos launching rockets at school recess.)

#4 Yes, the IDF attempts to avoid hitting School playgrounds and ~~nesting sites~~ residential areas but that does not stop the endless photography of "dead non-combatants" from hitting the news in the wake of each IDF attack.

#5 And they restrain themselves why? So as not to waste the great love and respect from the rest of the world? Please. Just announce that ALL attacks will be responded to. Collateral damage from (war crime) attacks from civilian areas are the responsibility of the attacker.

Our new president zero is gonna hang Israel out to dry anyway.

Defend yourselves.

#9 First I read about a Hamas rocket killing two little Palestinian girls then I read Hamas has fired 87 mortar shells and/or rockets with no mention of any Israeli casualties whatsoever. Boy, that's some kinda shootin', huh?

So why does IDF need to return fire? Paleos are not only impotent, they are their own worst enemy.
