I doubt that was the point of my post.
And please dont take it too seriously because i must have been horribly sleep deprived, since i dont remember posting it.

Morts, you should have put in a picture of a pimp wearing designer clothes, dripping in gold being driven in a rolls.
Then you too could write ghetto? what ghetto?:03:

Here is an article by the BBC regarding the 'rocket' situation:

It seems tzhe Israelis are preparing to go in on the ground. Hope the army is better prepared and their intel is better than was the case 2006. If they just rush in in haste and ill-prepared, by opinion I will not support that move. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

Jimbuna 11-16-12 07:27 AM

I very much doubt either side want to see a ground invasion but that appears to be the eventual outcome if the rocket attacks continue.

Gaza crisis: Egyptians back under-fire Palestinians
 
Quote:

The BBC's Wyre Davies describes a "long and difficult night" in Gaza, saying "the ante has been stepped-up on both sides"
Quote:

Egyptian leaders have promised to support Gaza against Israeli attacks, as violence escalated for a third day.

President Mohammed Mursi said he would not leave Gaza on its own and condemned Israel's "blatant aggression", hours after his prime minister visited Gaza.

Israel mounted a huge attack overnight, targeting dozens of locations. Later, Gaza militants targeted Tel Aviv with a missile but there were no casualties.

Twenty Palestinians and three Israelis have been killed since Wednesday.

Dear Brits, please pull some cash together and buy Mr Marcus a ticket to Coventry; this may help him to learn how non-surgical strikes look like... :damn:

What does he expect, Gaza is one of the densest populated areas in the world, practically impossible to avoid. However coming from a nation which got bombed the crap out of it, 20 dead in over 100 strikes look pretty surgical to me.

Any civilian death is one too much, no question, but any dead body is on Hamas. The words of Golda Meir, about those who hate their enemy more than they love their own children are still true. How much cool stuff could you buy for kids for the price of 100 rockets? However those sick bastards from Hamas seem to be happy about every dead kid, this makes good pictures to fuel their hate-propaganda machine... :nope:

Non-surgical strikes tend to look like this:

Or this:

By all means, Israeli attacks in Gaza are not pretty, and in such a densely populated area it's going to cause a lot of casualties, but in comparison to the strategic bombing campaigns of WWII, it doesn't even come close. So be glad that Israel doesn't have B-52s...

In regards to going in on the ground...no, Israel...please don't, that's not going to end well. You have drones, helos and aircraft, use them to hit the launchers, sending in the ground forces is a quick way to ramp up the casualties. :nope:

Gaza conflict: Militant rocket targets Jerusalem

Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip say they have launched a rocket on Jerusalem - the first time the holy city has been targeted from Gaza.

If they plan to clear the rocket and missile arsenals of Hamas, they have no other choice than to go in and search house by house.

Insiders said since two years at least that the immense weapon arsenals of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon now pose incalculatable risks for Israel, both in numbers and new quality and range. Hezbollah was already in 2008 armed more heavily than in 2006. It is said they even have Western made modern ATGMs now. Thanks to France maybe - having delivered modern Milan-2s to Libya? Milans are extremely agile - perfect as a heavy punch against tanks in urban surrounding. I think they would mean very bad news for Merkavas.

Jerusalem has been struck this day by rocket attack. I think that is a first.
