StrangeSox Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 So it looks like another Gaza war might be breaking out. http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/15/world/meast/....html?hpt=hp_c1 The IDF and Hamas are trolling each other on Twitter. It is bizarre. https://twitter.com/IDFSpokesperson https://twitter.com/AlqassamBrigade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippedoutpunk Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 This stuff is crazy, but Israel does have reason to defend itself. I wouldnt expect the US to stay put if Mexico shot hundreds of rockets into San Diego. The only thing is that our military and the Israeli military play by much different rules. Especially since they are dealing with people that they are openly not fond of, this can escalate into something really ugly since Israel is surrounded by people that want to get rid of them.

StrangeSox Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 OTOH I wouldn't expect Mexico to roll over and just deal with being embargoed and ghettoized without a say in the government by the US. Both sides have plenty of blood on their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 As someone who is Jewish, this whole situation concerns me. The Muslim extremists will stop at nothing to kill Israelis and destroy the entire Jewish race there. Meanwhile, you have the stubborn Israelis who refuse to give up any land. It's just a bad situation, where no one is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippedoutpunk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The IDF twitter feed is unlike anything ive ever seen in my life. Pretty much a blow by blow recap of the severe ass kicking they are handing Hamas, and its all under an official capacity. Oh and why is Verizon Wireless listed as a twitter account similar to the IDF twitter account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, anyone know the name of the policy? A nuke, if a big one, would destroy a significant amount of the country. Would make it very hard to respond, depending on where it hit. But yeah, if that ever happened, they would go bonkers militarily, I am sure. QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 18, 2012 -> 07:14 PM) But they had the US as an ally then, not so much anymore.
