Official Israel vs Hamas thread

See above in bold, Hoss.

‘Sources on the ground’ yeah man go with that. That is very trustworthy and solid. Bet on it! /sarcasm

look up badr 3. Huge missile that has been fired at Israel for years.

Why don’t you go with ‘sources on the ground’ for your news on Gaza? Better source than whatever that is. ‘the cradle? ‘ tune up your bs meter old man.

after you do that, look up ‘Carpet bombing’ and then come back to post. It’s not happening in Gaza.

You’re now on par with ‘crisis actors’ level of lunacy.

20-30% of rockets from Gaza fail and fall within Gaza’s own borders. Last year Hamas launched over 1000 missiles towards Israel in a 56 hour period, with roughly 20% of those missiles failing and falling in Gaza which accounted for 1/3 of the deaths in their own area. That battle lasted only 56 hours. How many more terrorist missiles have failed this go round?

Since 2001 all rockets launched from Gaza COMBINED haven’t killed 500 people.

Since you’ve got all the numbers. Tell us how many those failed rockets killed combined in 20 years plus?

I’m certainly younger than you

Um, at least 500 are estimated dead at the hospital they just struck with their own incompetence. So I’m guessing at least 501 since 2001. That’s just a ballpark figure though.

something like 25% of the rockets fail. I have no idea how many people they have killed. And that doesn't mean anything anyway. You have no reason to believe the palestinian account other than that you are inclined to believe them. You are not looking for truth or care - you want that quick hit of dopamine of righteous outrage.

You shouldn't do that.

Non-answer noted.

Very small number sis the answer, their rockets don’t have that capacity.

Don’t get mad because they killed over 500 with one errant missile and you said they haven’t killed that many combined in 2 decades. Just take the L and move on. Let’s set the over/under at 750, I’m taking the over. You want to bet the under? Me thinks you’d lose that wager.

900 pound warheads are pretty large. Even a young man should know that. As well as knowing that most of the gaza/S Israel area is dirt with nothing to hit. When you fire 100 missiles, odds are the misfires will hit just dirt. But when you fire 5000+ missiles, odds are that a misfire will hit a building.

But yeah you get your news from 'the cradle' so this is pretty advanced for you.

Anything else I can help you with, since I am older and wiser than you apparently?

You used to be a reasonable commentator here. You’re turning into adultintheroom with your need for petty insults with strangers online. You don’t need to do that.

You've managed to insult me for being old and then young within the space of minutes. Just maybe you’re taking this too personally and losing some of your decency.

You have seen al Jazeera video. You threw a red herring in there with Iran and 900 lbs. munitions to Gaza. You have zero evidence.

Look at video footage. Clearly much smaller light weight munitions fired by Gaza guerrillas.

That hit on Gaza hospital looks consistent with JDAM ordinance which arrived in Israel Sunday/Monday from U.S. Israelis did it.

I am not trying to convince you. Everyone who has thought about this has taken sides.

You are fine dragging U.S. into a Conflict for Israel. I am not.

Israelis and others only have two responses regarding bombing Gaza Hospital:

1) Lie & deny;

2) Justify. Say we told all Palestinians to leave.

possibly true that I have lost some patience and once in a while use LRC to blow off some steam, I'll agree with you there and this is an example of that.

Something about your utter uncaring for seeking the truth and your distasteful rejection of wise caution during fog of war situations really ticked me off.

Let me spell it out for you, slick. I'll use small words.

Mahmood Jihadi launches a rocket at Tel Aviv. This rocket has enough fuel to travel 120 miles, but malfunctions and only travels about 1000 yards. So it lands with a full load of highly-flammable rocket fuel, in addition to whatever explosive warhead it had. Big kaboom, big fire.
