Israel have been aiming for specific targets.
The issue is that these targets tend to contain lots of innocent civilians.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 19 Nov 2012, 12:29, Reply)

They've been pretty good considering they've done several hundred bombings and have less than 100 civilian deaths.

How advanced Israel's weaponry is compared to the Palestinians. It's like hitting back against peashooters with an Uzi.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 19 Nov 2012, 12:40, Reply)

Peashooters with a 30mile range and packed with sophisticated high explosives.
It's really a stupid argument to say the weaponry is not as advanced so it can't do any damage.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Nov 2012, 12:42, Reply)

I'm not saying that.
But yeah, the analogy was bad. What I meant is that Israel are using disproportionate force, just as they did last time around. Plus, credible reports of white phosphorus being used, which is, as I understand it, prohibited.

'Dilemma' would imply two choices.
And we all know how trigger happy they are. I think trilemma is more apt- negotiation, surgical strikes or carpet bombing military and civilian targets.

Wonder which one they'll choose?

In 194-something, Britain said
"Hey guys, why don't you go over here to this bit of the world we're abandoning and live on it like it's your own? Sure you'll be surrounded by hostile people of a differing and somewhat militant religion who all think you're interloping on their land and are therefore likely to get a bit testy about the situation, but as long as you react with overt aggression and carry on looking whiter than them, the West will probably take your side".

In Xcom, right, all your soldiers have a nationality which they display via a flag on their back.
You can get all sorts, Nigeria, Israel, South Africa and also the United Kingdom.

The Scottish get their own. Just the Scots. There's no English, or Irish, or Welsh soldiers, they're all part of the UK. Scotland is separate. It's not the first time I've seen that happen in American-made stuff. I've seen it on a telly programme, too.

Seems they've already seceded, Stunned.

That makes me want to vomit all over their so-called "nation".

The fact that Americans are fucktards is hardly the fault of the Scotch, Stunned.

Good point. Well made.

Many of the UK's population come from Viking stock
does that make it OK to blame Denmark for invading Iraq?

Hey, if we develop water and wind power, we'll be fine.
You're the ones that'd be fucked when the reserves run out.

I'm sure we'll be begging for them to come back.
Also, I'm pretty sure WSM isn't in Scotchland.

Sounds like an excellent time to close the border.

Israel are bullies that get away with it because the west have a knee-jerk reaction to Arab nations.
You can understand why they have a defensive mindset, considering what's happened to them in the past, but they seem to be going a little bit too far the other way.

Perhaps we should say "It's okay, it's safe now, you can all go back where you started off, and we'll give 'Israel' back to the Palestinians."

Fuck them all, bunch of backwards fucking savages the lot of them.
Round them all up, make every yid bloke take a raghead wife, every yid bint take a raghead husband. Give it 5 years or so.




Then gas the whole fucking lot of 'em.
