Home-made rockets Greeney, not 'missiles' in the sense the US and Israel use. Palestinian 'rockets' are like fireworks compared to what is being used against them.
But maybe you can explain to me how a nation that has annexed the land of another and settled it, can then be claiming to be defending itself from the very people they are stealing the land from?
The Israeli death toll rose to five with the deaths Tuesday of an Israeli soldier and a civilian contractor. More than 130 Palestinians have been killed.

Gaza is right now under immense attack from gunboats, tanks, artillery, drones, f16's and cruise missiles as Israel ramps up the violence before the coming ceasefire..... But blame the Palestinians for defending their own land with whatever comes to hand, why doncha?

Totally not true, we have seen the rocket launchers, and to think they are homemade, or just like fireworks is preposterous, like your initial post they were shooting towards their own land.

Well obviously you haven't.

and to think they are homemade, or just like fireworks is preposterous,

The Palestinians have been making 'rockets' for years Greeney. At home, in small workshops, anywhere they can get a hold of pipe-cutting equipment and welding machines. Who are you kdding?

like your initial post they were shooting towards their own land.

Firing 'rockets' at settlers Greeney. Think about that for a while, including where those settlers must be.

I don't know why you must think of it as preposterous, even though you are from a welding/fabrication background yourself. You don't seem to realise they are little more than lengths of scaffold tubing filled with home-made accelerants. They are simple, unguided rockets. I could make them.

Oh Please, that is one big whopper! They have many different rocket systems, from homemade kinds, up to elaborate, Russian and Chinese multiple missile launchers. None of them would be considered "Just like fireworks ", by any stretch of the imagination. Your characterization of the Hamas rockets, is ridiculous. To make them sound like harmless amusement park fireworks is absurd. Israel stopped and searched incoming ships for these kinds of rockets, they knew they were sneaking them in, and they did.

I almost fell off my chair at that one Greeney.... and to think you started by calling ME a liar!
