Holy shit, Israel just called up 75,000 reservists. This might be more serious than the usual yearly skirmish.
We might be saying goodbye to the Palestinians forever shortly here.

I don't know what the fuck this thread is about, but I read a few posts that made me want to pose this scenario, and a question:
During my first deployment to Afghanistan in 2010, our UAS discovered a warm body transporting a jug giving off a heat signature and carrying ball bearings (both were sure signatures of IED emplacement). As a member of TACP, we issued an immediate request for air support and engaged within 15 minutes.
It turned out to be a 10-12 year old girl (the villages we were near didn't understand the concept of time). She died, but we did confirm she was in fact emplacing a jug of home made explosives and ball bearings.
As it turns out, a common practice among our enemy was to plant IEDs in intervals, especially using innocents for the more risk taking tasks. They would hire a farmer to dig a hole. They would pay a pay a family to have their young child plant explosive materials. They would give an incentive to a young man to lay and cover wire. And finally, they would encourage nearby residents to film the potential impact of the IED for money.
They're smart fucks.
If your life is at immediate risk, regardless of what you believe to be right or wrong, is it unethical to eliminate that risk? Bare in mind, from a UAS feed, you see a warm body - not a 12 year old girl.

I liked the part where you thought I was a Juice. My bank account is far too slim to be a real Juice.
When you watch the Food Network here in North America, you'll notice that a lot of arab meals like hummus, couscous, falafel are labeled Israeli meals. Anybody that has traveled outside the US a bit knows that couscous is from North Africa (Morroco, Algeria, Tunisia), Falafel/Hummus are from the middle east (Lebabon, Syria)
I guess it sounds better on American TV to say "Israeli recipe" than "Arab recipe" lol ... it's all a marketing game!
I liked the part where you were invading a country and killed a little girl who was defending herself.
Fuck off.
How can you sleep at night?
Could you clarify on exactly who you hope will be blown off of the fucking map?
